A Gazebo Apex Flashing is secured with rivets behind the
apex bracket and will cover gaps created by purlin
intersection covers (Section 9.3).
For side attached units fix the rafter to valley bracket to the
valley beam (150 attachment beam will be considered a
valley beam) at the correct rafter positions (refer Section 6)
using six 12x20 hex head screws per bracket through the
pre-drilled holes (Figure 15). Please note the bottom face of
the bracket lines up with the bottom edge of the lower
groove in the valley beam for 150 beams (Figure 15). Check
positions before drilling.
If any intermediate columns are required, measure the
valley beam marking where they meet. Fasten post
brackets as explained in ‘Outback Flat Attached
Verandahs, Patios & Carports’ under “FRONT FASCIA
BEAM”.
Support the second valley beam at the spacing determined
in part 3.0 on adjustable construction props.

3.1 APEX BRACKET
The Gazebo Apex bracket is to be fixed to the front face of
the front gable frame at the apex. The bracket is to be
located so the bottom edge of the apex bracket is in-line
with the top edge of the bottom chamfer of the gable frame
rafters. The apex bracket is to be located centrally at the
apex and fixed through the pre-drilled holes using 12x20
hex head screws (Figure 14).

4.2 END ATTACHED
For units attached on the end to a wall, wall brackets are
positioned at either side of the gable opening at the spacing
determined in part 3.0. The first bracket is fastened to the
wall with two M8x65mm masonry anchors. The curved legs
of the bracket are located at the top and the highest point of
the wall bracket will be 15mm below the top of the beam
(Figure 16).
Pivot the first valley beam (double flange on top) up into the
wall bracket so the curved legs locate against the top flute of
the beam. The valley beam is fastened to the wall bracket
with 10x16 hex head screws in the pre-drilled holes while
the opposite end is supported on adjustable construction
props.
