Chapter 7: Roof Assembly Attachment Locations of Purlins to Rafters Purlins are horizontal members between the rafters that give support to the roof structure. The length of the purlin determines its location on the A-frame assembly. The following reference depicts a completely assembled A-frame roof rafter section with X-bracing installed.

Page 100: Guidelines For Assembling And Lifting The A-Frame Rafter Sections
Chapter 7: Roof Assembly Guidelines for Assembling and Lifting the A-Frame Rafter Sections The roof is assembled in sections and referred to as A-frame rafter sections. Each A-frame rafter section is assembled on the ground and lifted into place. IMPORTANT: Do not drill additional holes in purlins. Install the flange bolts and nuts as dictated by the number of holes in the purlin.
Page 101: Attaching The A-Frames To The Center Collar
Chapter 7: Roof Assembly • Always practice safety when assembling rafter sections. Be aware of others around you when moving long A-frame sections. • Use evenly distributed connection points of support when lifting. • Before attempting a lift, adjust each lifting cable to achieve the appropriate angle needed (approxi- mately 30 degrees).

NOTE: If a sidedraw system is installed, the standard 3/4 in. anchor bolts must be replaced with 1 in. anchor bolts. • Side discharge is only permitted in GSI commercial bins when a GSI manufactured sidedraw flume system has been installed. No corrugated steel bin must be unloaded through the side wall without installation of such a system and permission of the manufacturer.
Page 144 90 degrees apart. Installation of multiple systems requires approval of GSI. • Sidedraw systems are intended for use with dry, flowable grain. Sidedraws are not to be used for poorly flowing products. This is not unique to GSI bins and flume systems, but is a general rule for such systems.
