• Consult the rafter chart above in selecting the components needed for the span
you intend to install. Please note that:
• All spans use (2) base columns and (1) apex. The base column is a male piece
at the upper end. The apex is female on both ends.
• The 30 ft span uses no rafters.
• The 40 ft span uses only a pair of short rafters to complete the beam arch.
• The 50 ft span uses only a pair of long rafters to complete the beam arch.
• The 60 ft span uses both a pair of short rafters and a pair of long rafters
positioned as shown above.
• Male ends of the base column and all rafters point toward the apex in all spans.
Male ends consist of pre-installed splices protruding from the end of beam section.
We suggest leaving these splices installed during storage of beams.
