RAFTER ASSEMBLY (CONTINUED)
Interior Rafter Assembly:
1. Select the tubing for the first interior rafter assembly.
2. Install a 4-Way fitting in the locations shown. Secure
the joints using Tek screws.
3. Repeat the steps for all remaining interior rafters.
Once all rafter assemblies are complete, continue with
attaching the post caps.
ATTACH POST CAPS TO RAFTERS
The post caps are designed to secure the rafters to the
support structure,
which is constructed by the customer.
The type of support structure affects when the post caps
are attached.
ATTENTION: The following instructions assume that the
support structure is properly constructed and adequate to
support the assembled low-profile roof frame.
If neither of the following examples resembles the support
structure used to support and attach the low-profile roof
frame to, these instructions may not fully apply to the
application.
If in doubt, seek the assistance of a qualified contractor
before continuing with the assembly of the frame.
Use the following examples to assemble the frame.
NOTE: If setting the low-profile roof frame on individual
4" x 4" posts set in the ground, skip to and complete the
Example #2 procedures.
EXAMPLE #1: Post Cap Installation
If the roof frame is to be attached to a structure where the
4" x 4" posts run parallel with the purlins of the frame, use
the following steps as a guide when installing post caps.
Example #1: 4" x 4" posts running parallel with the purlins.
WARNING:
The 4" x 4" posts in the above diagram
must be anchored to the structure on which they are
setting.
NOTE:
The following procedure describes setting each
rafter in place, drilling the mounting holes, and securing the
rafter to the 4" x 4" wood posts.
Alternative Method: If desired, the post caps can first be
spaced and secured to the 4" x 4" posts (rafter spacing is 4'
on-center) and then the rafters can be set on and secured
to the post caps. Proceed as desired.
1. Using Tek screws, attach two (2) post caps to each of
the assembled rafters.
ATTENTION: Install the post cap so that it can be
properly attached to the support structure.
Install Tek
screws so they will not contact the cover when it is
installed.
Tek screws must be
install through the
rafter leg and into
the post cap. Avoid
installing the Tek
screw in a position
that will miss one of
the three post cap
surfaces.
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the cover, Tek
screws cannot touch the cover. Install these through
the rafter leg and through the post cap.
2. After all post caps are attached to the rafters, complete
the Frame Assembly procedure that follows.
