Chapter 7: Roof Assembly

Attaching the Eave Angle to the Sidewall Sheet

The eave angle secures each lower portion of the roof panels.

What You Should Know
Eave angles are bolted to the inside portion of the sidewall and will overlap each section.

1. Install the optional eave seal (F) along the top edge of the eave angle (A).

2. Locate the eave bracket (H) and align the holes of the first eave angle (A) with the holes of the one-

ring top stiffener (I).

IMPORTANT: For a sidewall sheet that spans four roof panels, the eave angle will align from inside

stiffener to inside stiffener. This is very important to ensure the roof panels align prop-
erly with the rafters.

3. Install flange bolts (D) and flange nuts (B), leaving the end holes open.

NOTE: The quantity of flange bolts (D) and flange nuts (B) may vary, depending on the sidewall

punch pattern.

4. Install the second eave angle (C) overlapping the first eave angle (A).

5. Install the flange bolts (D) and flange nuts (B), leaving the last hole open for the next eave angle to

be installed.

NOTE: The quantity of flange bolts (D) and flange nuts (B) may vary, depending on the sidewall

punch pattern.

6. Bend the eave angle tabs (G) upward to conform with each roof panel rib.

7. Tighten all hardware to the recommended torque specification. See
