PROCEDURE
1. Insert the glazing beading into the two corner bars and wall bar.
N.B. Do not put any beading in the middle groove of the corner bar. ( Key point ).
2.
Lay the 5 parts out on a flat surface with the inside of each bar facing upwards, i.e. with the
cill facing downwards and bolt slots of two corner bars facing inwards. The bolt slot nearest
the flange is facing upwards, i.e. the facing bolt slot, see diagram.
(Key point). Firstly decide
which way round the corner bars go. The shorter roof corner bar is mitred at both ends. One
end has
severe mitre and this goes to the eave. The other end has slight mitre and this goes towards
the ridge. The side corner bar is mitred at 1 end only. This goes to the top.
3.
Starting at the point where the roof and side corner bars meet, slide three bolts into the alter-
native bolt slots of both bars (see diagram) and finger tip tighten the nuts, locating them 2”
from each end of either bar and one in the middle. These will be used later during the general
assembly to attach the ridge gutter and cills to the Left and Right Hand gables. (
Key point ).
4.
Secure the eave gusset plate to the two corner bars by inserting a bolt into the facing or
second bolt slot (i.e. the bolt slot nearest to the flange and at 90º to the “alternative” bolt slot)
of the roof corner bar). Place the gusset plate over the bolt, put a second bolt through the
flange and the plate having first lined up the two holes, put the nuts on and finger tip tighten .
Do the same sequence with the side corner bar. The two corner bars are now connected. The
horizontal angle attaches to the upper bolt of the gusset plate. ( Key point ).
5.
Insert two bolts into the bolt slot of the wall bar and push the last one through the hole in the
flange at the top of the roof corner bar, place a nut on the bolt and finger tip tighten. (The
second bolt will be used to attach the horizontal brace to the wall bar).
6. The bottom cill angle can now be bolted to the side corner bar and wall bar by inserting a bolt
into the bolt slots and placing the angle over the bolts, finger tip tighten the two nuts.
7.
The horizontal angle can now be attached to the wall bar by utilising the extra bolt inserted
into the wall bar in step 5.
8.
Having successfully completed the above, ensure that all joints are tight and neat and that the
frame is square, then tighten the nuts with a spanner. ( Key point).
N.B. The roof corner bar sits slightly on top of the side corner bar. Please ensure that the edges of
the flange line up neatly as per the above drawing.
LEFT HAND GABLE
The parts, format and procedure are identical to the right hand gable. Please re-read carefully to
complete the left hand gable.
