Note:
Purlin Intersection Caps are available as an optional
extra and can be used to fill the small gap between the purlin
and the template cut out. Caps are riveted to the side of the
purlin cover.
With the exception of Gazebo Ends with Outback
®
deck, hip
support flashings ( Figure 2) are secured directly over purlin
intersection covers to hide roof sheeting cuts. Fix the
flashing to purlins at each purlin junction using a single rivet
either side of the flashing.
Mitre hip support flashings at the apex for a neat finish.
Connect the gutter to the flat roof Outbacks as described in
Assemble the remaining framework of the verandah as per
the installation guide ‘Outback Flat Attached Verandahs,
Patios & Carports’.
Fix the posts, as described in the instruction brochure under
"COLUMNS AND FOOTINGS” or "ALTERNATIVE
FOOTING".
Note: All adjustable construction props are to be left in
position until decking is attached and concrete is set.
‘Outback Flat Attached Verandahs, Patios & Carports’.
Gutters will need to be mitred at the point the flat roof unit
meets the gable and around the front of the gazebo end. All
gutter joins are to be waterproofed with silicon.
Where there is no flat roof adjacent to the gable, the gutter is
attached with gutter straps and flat connecting strips which
are fixed to the valley beam. Cut the strip into sections and
rivet at 1000 mm intervals to the valley beam. Fix the gutter
to the strip with rivets as shown in figure 34. Once decking is
attached (Section 12.0) the gutter is secured to the roof
sheeting using gutter straps at maximum 1200mm
intervals. Gutter straps may need to be bent slightly so they
can be rivetted to the roof sheets. Waterproof rivets with
silicone.
The above method is also used to fix gutter around the front
of the gazebo perimeter beams.

9.3 PURLIN INTERSECTION COVER
The purlin intersection covers are used to cover any gaps at
purlin joins and also to attach decking. The location of
purlins are to be marked along each side of the purlin
intersection cover and the cover is then cut with tin snips to
allow a tight fit over purlins. The template provided will allow
the cut shape to be marked on the cover at the location of
each purlin.
The purlin intersection cover is now riveted on either side to
the chamfer of the rafter, rivets are to be located a maximum
of 50mm from purlins on both the higher and lower sides
and at spacings of no more than 300mm (Figure 33)
Each cover should be mitred at the apex to finish flush with
the gazebo apex flashing.
