NOTE:
Width between rafters is measured center-to-center.
Frame shown above shows a different purlin design. Width is measured from the center of one rafter leg to the center of
the adjacent rafter leg.
4. Using the first pipe from each assembled purlin (marked earlier), insert each pipe into the bracket on the first rafter.
This pipe will serve as the purlin pipe between the first two rafters.
NOTE:
All rafters positioned between the first and last rafters of the structure
use a purlin cross connector (102546) to
secure the purlins to each rafter.
In the above diagram, a Tek screw was used to mark the location of the cross connector; the Tek screw was installed
when the rafter was assembled. Depending on the method used, the location may have been marked using a marker
during the rafter assembly.
