GUTTER OUTLET ASSEMBLY
Before attaching the gutter mark the position of the
outlet. Place the downpipe in line with the column and
mark and cut a hole in the base of the gutter near the back
edge. Insert the downpipe outlet from the inside of the
gutter and rivet in place using four 3.2mm rivets (Figure
7.1). Remove any swarf and waterproof with silicone.
GUTTER ATTACHMENT
Check the roof sheets overhang into the gutter by 50mm and
the gutters are square in relation to the framework. Lift the
gutter into position and fix with rivets at one metre spacings
through the valley of the roof sheets into the gutter’s back
lip (Figure 7.2). Install gutter straps at a maximum spacing of
one metre apart. The downpipe is not attached at this stage
as the columns are not yet fixed in their vertical position.
DOWNPIPES
Before attaching the downpipes, rivet the downpipe brackets
to the column. Slide the downpipe over the downpipe outlet
and rivet into position. Rivet the downpipe to the brackets.
Weatherproof all the fasteners with silicone.
CAPPING & FLASHING
To prevent moisture from entering the beams and for
aesthetics, any beams with exposed ends require end caps
to be fitted. Align the end cap and push into the exposed
beam end (Figure 8.0).
If Outback columns are used, the post caps can be fitted
over the post-beam connection. Apply a small amount of
silicone to back of post cap, align the two lugs with the two
exposed holes of the post bracket and push firmly (Figure 8.1)
Attach the barge flashing by screwing the lower lip to
the rafter using 12x20 hex head self drilling screws, and
rivet the top section to the crest of the roof sheet at
500mm centres (Figure 8.2).
GUTTER ASSEMBLY
GUTTER PREPARATION
To establish the gutter length, measure the length of the
front fascia beam. Cut the gutter to length and attach the
stop ends with four rivets per stop end. Remove any swarf
and waterproof with silicone (Figure 7.0).
