Figure 23.1
Gable infill panels are to be cut in triangle shapes to fit the end
frame. Panels can be painted to the desired colour before installing.
End struts are fixed mid-span of the header to a header beam
bracket at the base and an end strut plate at the ridge. Infill panels
are fixed through the top groove of rafters and the lower groove of
the header beam with 8x35mm self embedding self drillingt screws
at 500mm centres. Panels are fixed to the end strut at the same
spacings. Attach the header flashing to the underside of the header
beam with 12x20 hex head screws to neatly finish the base of the
infill panels. Refer figure 23.0 and 23.1.

Fixing into the Concrete Footing
Thoroughly check the posts with a spirit level. When plumb, fill the
post hole with approximately 150mm of concrete and use a shovel
or pole to agitate the concrete to remove any air pockets. Repeat
this process until the hole is full, continually checking the posts
as you go. The concrete must have a slight slope that runs away
from the column to ensure any water does not pool around the
base (figure 25.0). Once the concrete is set remove any temporary
bracing or props.
Fixing onto Existing Concrete: External Footing
If the columns are to be fixed to an existing concrete slab with an
external footing plate, each plate must be fixed to the concrete. For
a 68 Outback Column refer figure 25.1, for a reinforced 68 Outback
column refer 25.3 and for an SHS column refer figure 25.2. The
minimum distances from an anchor hole to the concrete edge is
70mm for M10 anchors, 75mm for M12 anchors and 120mm for
M16 anchors.
FINAL FIXING
Attach the barge cap by screwing the lower lip to the gable rafter
and rivet the top section to the deck as shown in figure 24.1. Mitre
the barge at the apex of the gable for a neat finish. Trim the barge
at the gutter end to ensure a neat finish.
