As you install hat channel the building frame will gain stiffness and strength. It is important that you check the frame  
sections with your level for plumb as you install each hat channel. You may want to clamp a corner diagonal brace to the 
frame at the front or back of the building on both sides to hold the first frame section square. Measure from the first frame 
section to get the remaining sections plumb.    
 

1. 

Install the first hat channel along the base rail starting on one side of the building at the corner. The bottom edge of the 

channel should be located 1” up from the bottom of the base rail. The hat channel should start at the corner of the build-
ing, 1” from the corner or centered on the corner post. Fasten the channel to the frame with #12 self-drilling screws, one 
in the top flange and one in the bottom flange at each vertical post.

2.  

Continue Hat Channel down the length of the building using 8’ lengths for 4’ on center frames, 10’ lengths for 5’ on 

center frames and 12’ lengths for 6’ on center frames. Butt the ends of the channels together and attach with screws as 
shown below. Your building may be of a length that requires you to use a 4’, 5’ or 6’ Hat Channel at one end of the build-
ing. If so, 4’, 5’ or 6’ channels are provided. 
 

All VersaTube buildings include framing for a Walk Door to be located on one side of the building

. Follow the in-

structions for framing around a Walk door opening in step 4. If you installed optional window frames, see step 5 for fram-
ing around window kit. 

Butt the ends of Hat Channels together, 
centered on a vertical post and fasten 
each hat channel end with 2 screws as 
shown. 

REMEMBER TO KEEP THE VERTICAL POSTS PLUMB AS YOU 

ATTACH HAT CHANNELS. 

3. 

Continue to install the remaining runs of hat channel on the sides of your building, referring to the chart on page 15 for 

height location. The dimensions on the chart are from the bottom of the base rail to the bottom edge on the lower hat 
channel flange. 
You will need to see steps 4 and 5 when you come to a door or window opening. 

STEP 9A: INSTALLING RAT TRACK HAT CHANNEL 

 

 
Rat Track is additional Hat Channel Girts that are installed on top of the collar tie to assist with longitudinal strength.  Rat 
track will be included with all buildings 30’ Wide or larger.  The rat track will start on the second frame and end on the second 
to last frame.  For 30’W, you will receive 3 runs of Hat Channel (40’W—4 runs; 50’W—5 runs, etc). Evenly space the hat 
channel on your collar tie and attach with (2) #12 x 3/4” self-drilling screws per connection

.
