Ultra-Dek® ERECTION SEQUENCE
Step 1

FLOATING SYSTEM

RAKE SUPPORT

Attach the rake support on top of the rake angle with the proper self-drilling fasteners on 2'-0" centers with a fastener in the first and last prepunched slot. The vertical leg is to be installed flush with the steel line. Center fasteners in slots.

FASTENER REQUIREMENTS

• Fixed System
Purlins- Fastener #1
Joists- Fastener #6

• Floating System
Purlins- Fastener #5
Joists- Fastener #7

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE RAKE SUPPORT IS INSTALLED STRAIGHT AND SQUARE WITH THE EAVE AS IT CONTROLS THE ALIGNMENT OF THE ROOF SYSTEM.

Install 6" long pieces of double faced tape on 3'-0" centers to the top of the horizontal leg of the rake support. This will help hold the insulation in place at the rake.

CAUTION

(For Floating Systems Only)

It is important that shoulder fasteners are installed through the CENTER of the slotted holes of the rake support to allow for expansion and contraction.

CAUTION!

ALL PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FRAMING SHOULD BE ERECTED, PLUMBED, AND BOLTS TIGHTENED PRIOR TO SHEETING.
