- For fixing left to right start with
sheet 'A' (Fig.7).
- The first sheet is laid at the eaves,
square to the purlin with downward corrugation on left hand and upward corrugation on
right hand, to be covered by the downward corrugation of next sheet.
- Determine the overhang at eaves and
verge.
- Next, fix sheet 'B' which is mitred at
the bottom right hand corner
on the under lap (Fig.8).
- The sheets are supplied with square corners
to ensure that only three thicknesses occur at the point. Where four sheets meet it
is necessary to cut or mitre the appropriate corner of the sheet.
(For size of mitre please refer Fig.9)

All other
sheets in this tier are fixed similarly including the ridge sheet 'C'. These sheets should
be in a straight line. Start the next tier with sheet 'D' which is mitred at the top left
hand on the cover lap.

Fig.10. Details of Side lap Joint |
Make sure
that side lap is correct and the eaves line straight. Continue with sheet 'E' which is
mitred at the top left hand corner on the cover lap and the bottom right hand corner on
the under lap. Finish the tier with ridge sheet 'F' which is mitred on the bottom right
hand corner only.
|
|
- Don't straighten a tier by decreasing
the side lap. The last tier of a roof consists of eaves sheet 'G' and intermediate sheet
'H' which are mitred on the top left hand corner (cover lap) and ridge sheet 'I' which fis
not mitred.
- The bolts should pass through the
second and last corrugations.
- Drilling on sheets must be done
atleast 75 mm away from edge of sheet.
- Bolts and Nuts should be hand-tightened
only.

Fig.11. Details of End laps Joint
Minimum End laps are 150 mm. But in exposed positions and in case of flat roofs. End laps
are increased. |
| The same procedure is applied if
the sheets are required to be laid right to left. The plan of mitring shown in Fig.8 is to
be reversed. The rest of the procedure is the same. |
