Once the eave is prepared, the first roof panel may be installed . Check the erection drawings to
determine the roof overhang at the eave . Set the roof panel in place over the inside closure (after
removing the paper from the sealant tape) ensuring the major ribs of the panel nest properly
with the inside closure . Align the center of the major rib of the panel edge with the edge of the
endwall roofline . With the panel properly placed, secure the panel to the structure with appropriate
fasteners . If the building requires more than one panel per run, do not install fasteners at the purlin
located at the upslope end of the panel . These fasteners will be installed after the overlapped
panel is installed .
