STEEL BUILDINGS FRAMING (Con't.)

STEP 6
Steel Building Endwall Framing: Add corner columns, sidewall
girts and eave struts. Then proceed with endwall columns, rafters,
remaining roof purlins and flange braces.
When the frame work is standing, the structure should be plumbed
and squared. Use a level as shown for wall columns. If
shimming is needed, see page 27 for suggestions. Square the
roof with the use of the cable braces as shown. Taking diagonal
measurements and adjusting the tension of the xbracing will
square the roof and aid in plumbing the metal buildings endwalls.
Some steel buildings will also have cable bracing in the steel
building endwalls.
STEP 7
Plumbing and squaring the framework for metal building.

NOTE: Flange Braces to be installed only at designated
locations. Refer to metal buildings erection drawings marked "For
Construction."
