WALL/FASCIA CONNECTION
Determine the required rafter spacings. The two end rafters
should be placed at right angles to the fascia beams directly
over the post. The remainder to be spaced at nominated
centres (usually up to 900mm centres).
On the wall, or fascia, mark a horizontal line 15mm down from
the top of each beam. Align the top of a wall bracket with each
line. Mark the position for the fasteners, drill 8mm holes and
fasten the brackets to the wall using 2 M8x65 masonry anchors
per brackets (or use 10mm diameter coach screws or bolts for
timber or steel fascia respectively).
In some fascia fixing applications it may be necessary to use the
suspension bracket, which replaces the wall bracket.
When fastening to steel fascia, the roofing or eaves lining should
be removed and a steel fascia bracket fastened to the side of the
rafters at 1200mm centres (see Figure1).
ASSEMBLE BEAMS ON THE GROUND
Important: Ensure the double thickness portion is at the top of
the beam when installing all beams.
Measure the front beam (and intermediate beams if required)
❏
Ensure the double thickness portion of the beam is always at
the top
❏
Remove protective plastic coating before attaching brackets,
fasteners or other parts and after completion.
❏
Use of temporary props will assist easier installation of
your unit.
