Chapter 7: Roof Assembly

Installing the 4–Hole Intermediate Purlins

Intermediate purlins must be installed to connect each A-frame roof rafter assembly together. 4-hole inter-
mediate purlins have only four holes on each side to secure them with the purlin clips.

Before You Begin
All A-frame roof rafter assemblies must be installed and secured to both the center collar and the eave
brackets.

1. Install the intermediate purlin (A) to the purlin clips (B and D) located outside of each A-frame roof

rafter assembly (E).

IMPORTANT: Do not drill additional holes in purlins. Install the flange bolts and nuts as dictated by

the number of holes in the purlin.

2. Install four flange bolts (C) and four flange nuts (F) to each end of the purlin (A) securing the inter-

mediate purlin to the purlin clips.

3. Tighten the hardware to the recommended torque specifications. See
