Prior to lifting, install as many of your
dimensional lumber splines and I-joist splines
as possible along the connecting sides of each
roof panel. Premier splines should be installed
as panels are installed. The dimensional
lumber at the ridge and eaves should be
installed after the panels are set in place. (If
panels are perpendicular to the ridge.)
Cut a bevel block out of dimensional lumber to
the same pitch as the roof and fasten the full
length of the ridge. The roof panel must bear at
least 1 1/2” on the beveled block. Next, tack
SIP Tape that is 18” wide on top of the ridge
beam. (Be sure that the release paper is facing
up towards the underside of the roof panels.)
liFting Panels
Use either a picking eye or strap
method to lift your roof panels. (A
lifting apparatus can be fashioned
from a 4” eye made from 3/4” steel
rod.) The shaft should be at least
14” long. The nut should be tack
welded to a minimum 4” diameter
washer made of 1/2” thick steel.
