4. Move to the lower section of the frame and measure
approximately 8" from the pipe splice of the rafter
toward the rafter curve and mark the location.
NOTE:
The location of this run of hat channel must
be between the rafter pipe splice and the curve of the
rafter. Do not install it in a location that will not allow the
corrugated panels to install flat on the hat channel.
5. Repeat Step 4 to mark the other end rafter in the same
location. Use a chalk line to mark locations if needed.
6. Take the next section of hat channel and center it over
the mark on the rafter. (See previous diagram.)
7. Secure it to the lower end of the frame using a single
Tek screw. (See the arrow above.)
8. Move to the other end of the frame, align the hat
channel with the center line, and secure that end of the
hat channel to the rafter.

10. Take the remaining runs of hat channel and evenly
space these between the upper and lower sections of
hat channel.
Evenly spaced between upper
and lower hat channel
Frame shown above may differ in length from actual
frame.
11. Return to each run of hat channel and verify that all
runs are attached to each rafter.
12. Return to each pipe splice and verify that each is
secured using Tek screws.
13. Verify that the entire frame assembly is properly
secured to the permanent structure.
14. Continue by installing the corrugated roof panels and
the finish profile.
9. Verify that the center-to-center measurement between
the upper hat channel and the lower hat channel is
identical for both end rafters and secure the channel to
the top of the frame.
NOTE:
Use two Tek screws at each rafter to secure
each run of hat channel.
