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.
