GABLE FRAME ASSEMBLY
The first step when installing your Clearspan Ultimate with Cooldek is
to assemble the gable frame. This will determine your gable opening
which will be used when setting up the rest of the frame work.
IMPORTANT:
When assembling the gable frame ensure that the
double thickness portion of the beams is on top and the seam is on
the same side. The rafters are supplied pre-cut and drilled at the
ridge. There are two types of rafters used depending on whether a
header beam is being installed, these are shown in Figure 1.0.
Insert the ridge knuckle into the pre-cut rafters and screw together
using two 12x20 hex head self drilling screws through both sides of
each rafter and two 12x20 hex head self drilling screws through the
top (double flange side) of each rafter (figure 1.1). Make sure that
the two ends are flush at the connection, leaving no gaps. Measure
the distance between rafter ends, O, to check valley beam spacing
(Figure 1.2).
This will become the gable opening dimension.
