Chapter 7: Roof Assembly

NOTE: A-frames labeled “A1” through “A7” have X-bracing and are installed first. A-frames labeled “A8”

through “A16” are standard A-frames, and A-frames “A17” is a triple rafter assembly that will be the
final lift. The empty spaces that are not labeled must have purlins installed between the rafters
after all the A-frames are secured. The numbers reflect the recommended installation sequence of
the A-frame assemblies.

equipment.
