Assembling Westeel Flat Roof System 1. Assemble top ring of wall sheets as per wall sheet layout provided with water tank. a. Install 90° ring angle around the top perimeter of the tank such that the leg is out. b. Apply sealant tape around the edge of the diameter of the 90° ring angle.

6. Select and mark a point on the top ring angles on both sides of the water tank such that a line drawn between them will bisect the tank into two equal parts…use the bolt holes holding the top ring angles as reference points. These marks will be used to initially position the “Z”...

9. Pull a string across the rafters to insure that the holes in the top surface are aligned. If holes are out of alignment the rafter in question will need to be repositioned by moving back and forth within the slots on the attachment brackets. Again the holes should be centered relative to the wall sheets.

12. Check the roof sheet orientation and begin lying on roof sheets beginning at the center and progressively working outwards in all directions. d. The roof sheets should be orientated such that the outer corrugations are towards the top (I.e. a hill rather than a valley). This will result in the label on the wall sheet being on the bottom.

13. Before the outer periphery roof sheets are installed that will cover the rafter end locations, remove the clamps, reposition the attachment brackets for a final time (as described above) and tighten the bolted connections in the slots, and secure the rafters to the top ring angle with at least 2 self drilling screws at every location.
