14.1 HEADER BEAM WITH GUTTER
Attach the header flashing to the rear gutter lip with rivets.
Infill panels are fixed through the top groove of rafters and
the end strut with 8x35mm self embedding teks at 500mm
centres in non-cyclonic areas and 250mm centres in
cyclonic areas. Panels are fixed at the base through the
header flashing with split tail soft pull rivets at 500mm
centres (Figure 43).

14.0 INFILL PANELS
Two styles of header flashings are available to neatly finish
the base of infill panels, one is used on header beams with
gutter and the other for headers without gutter. Gable infill
panels are to be cut in triangular 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
(Figure 42).

15.0 ATTACHING BARGE CAPPING
If barge capping is required at the opposite end to the
gazebo, attach the barge cap by screwing the lower lip to
the rafter and screw the top section to the purlin through the
deck, as shown in figure 45. Mitre the barge at the apex of
the gable for a neat finish. Run the barge cap along the
gable section to where it meets the flat verandah deck and
finish neatly.
If infill panels have been installed, the lower lip of the barge
capping should cover the panel screws to give a neat finish.
14.2 HEADER BEAM WITHOUT GUTTER
Infill panels are fixed through the top groove of rafters and
the lower groove of the header beam with 8x35mm self
embedding teks. Fix at 500mm centres in non-cyclonic
areas and 250mm centres in cyclonic areas. Panels are
fixed to the end strut at the same spacings. Attach the
header flashing to the underside of the header beam with
10x16 hex head screws to neatly finish the base of the infill
panels (Figure 44).

13.2 GAZEBO END CAPPING
Ridge cap is also used over all gazebo end rafters to
conceal the line in the deck. For Outback deck a special
back channel is required and should have been installed as
described in section 12.3.1. The ridge cap is positioned
over the channels and screwed in place through the
channels (Figure 38). For Polycarbonate and corrugated
decking the cap is screwed directly to the top of the deck.
Ridge capping will need to be cut to meet a point at the
apex as detailed in figure 41. Allow an approximate 20mm
overlap at the ridge. The capping is to be fully silicon sealed
at the apex for waterproofing.
