BARGEBOARDS INSTALLATION GUIDE

Bargeboards should be positioned so that their lap is directly below the end lap of the
sheeting, with the top end of each bargeboard close to the tail end of the sheet in the
course above. The socketed ends of roll top and vergeline bargeboards should point
upslope. Vergeline bargeboards, and eaves bend roll top bargeboards are handed left or right
when facing the gable end of the building.
Lap of the bargeboards should be immediately downslope of the sheet lap.
The sheeting should extend as far as possible under the bargeboard to ensure a
weatherproof junction is provided. When lap sealant is required for the sheets, the sealant
should also be applied to the bargeboards.
When the gable is brick or block, allow 25mm clearance between the wall and the
bargeboard. Fix both legs of the bargeboard at the purlin positions and intermediate fixings
should be introduced as necessary to ensure that both wings of the bargeboards are fixed at
750mm maximum centres.
