ERECTING THE REMAINING FRAMES & EAVE STRUTS

The remaining frames are erected in like manner, initially with only a few purlins being installed in

each bay working from one end of the building to the other. To lend overall rigidity to the structure,

install ﬂange braces to the purlins at speciﬁed locations. All purlin, girt and eave strut connection

bolts are left loose so the entire skeleton framework can be plumbed without undue difﬁculty. The

remaining purlins can be positioned on the rafter in each bay to facilitate the completion of the roof

framing.

NOTE: Take precautions to secure structure during assembly. Temporary

bracing may be required to stabilize the structure during erection.

Never leave the structure unbraced.
