UNDER PURLINS

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 14

THE UNDER PURLIN IS FIXED UNDER THE RAFTERS AND 2/3rds UP THE ROOF SLOPE FROM THE TOP PLATES .

TO ASSIST IN THE CORRECT POSITIONING OF THE UNDER PURLIN LOCATION LINES SHOULD BE SET OUT ON THE PATTERN RAFTER.

UNDER PURLIN

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 15

PURLIN PROPS

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 16

PURLIN PROPS ARE THE UP RIGHT MEMBERS THAT SUPPORT THE ROOF LOAD.

THEY SIT ON TOP OF A WALL PLATE AND CONNECT TO THE UNDER PURLIN THIS IS CALLED A POINT LOAD AND SHOULD BE SUPPORTED TO THE GROUND.

PURLIN PROPS

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 17

CRIPPLE CREEPERS

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 18

CRIPPLE CEEPERS ARE SIMILAR TO CREEPERS ALTHOUGH THEY START FROM THE RIDGE OR FLYING HIP AND FINISH AT THE VALLEY.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE CREEPER AND THE CRIPPLE CREEPER IS THAT THERE IS NO BIRDSMOUTH CUT . IT IS A STRAIGHT PLUMB CUT AT ONE END AND A REVERSED CREEPER CUT AT THE OTHER.

RAFTER LENGTH CALCULATION EXAMPLE.FIND THE SPAN EXAMPLE 6000 mmFIND THE 1/2 SPAN EXAMPLE 3000 mmFIND THE 1/2 SPAN MINUS 1/2 RIDGE THICKNESSEXAMPLE 3000mm MINUS 19mm = 2981 mm

Presentation Title | 00 Month 2010 | Slide 22

• RIDGE SIZE = 175 X 38• ROOF PITCH = 40 deg 2’• BUILDING SPAN = 6000 mm• BUILDING HALF SPAN = 3000 mm • = 2981 mm• = 3892 mm
