A) IN GROUND FOOTING
Stand the end portal frame in the appropriate footing
location and temporarily brace in position with clamps and
struts (see Figure 11).
Bolt the eaves purlins to the sides of the end frame columns
using the 1.0 x 3/8 hex bolts provided, so that the purlins
are level with the top of the column as shown in Figure 12.
Raise the other end frame and secure to eaves purlins.
Ensure the ends of the purlins are flush with the outside
faces of the end frames and the diagonal distances
between the end frames are equal.
Check column base is at the ground surface, and the clear
opening between columns is correct. Finally and most
importantly check that the columns are vertical.
The concrete should be finished slightly raised
towards the column, ensuring water runs away from the
column, see Figure 11.
If concrete or soil is in permanent contact
with the colorbond columns, corrosion will result in the base
of the coloured column. Refer to the "Selection, Use and
Maintenance of Stratco Steel Products" brochure for
complete details of maintenance requirements.
Select the end rectangular portal frames. Place the footing
plates in position and bolt securely.
Concrete the footings and leave overnight to cure.

Note
: All purlins are supplied to suit the individual Heritage
designs, It is important you refer to your plan and check
purlin lengths before cutting.
For extra long carports where you need to join two purlins,
make sure they are joined over a portal frame and that the
top lap faces the same way for both purlins to achieve a
neat joint.
Cut the eaves purlins to correct length. Pre-drill the eaves
purlins with 10 mm diameter holes at the end portal frame
locations. Only drill holes through the single side rib of the
eaves purlin (see Figure 10).

ERECT PORTAL FRAMES
Now stand the internal portal frames in position, so that the
eaves purlins rest on the eaves connection brackets
Fasten the eaves purlin to the eaves connection through
the underside of the bracket using two coloured 10 x 16 hex
head self drilling screws
.
The drawings supplied define the positioning of the
internal portal frames relative to the end frames and as
mentioned these are very critical.
