7.9SHEETING;
Use a chalk line for accurate drilling and screwing. This gives better appearance and less risk of leakage
due to mis drilling.

from drill or cutting. These items can cause rusting if they are not removed.
When walking on the roof, do not stand on high ribs; stand only on the low ribs, preferably over the purlin
line. Standing on the high ribs can cause severe damage which could lead to possible leakage. Not that
stitch crews are required at side laps on roof sheets.
Do not walk on sky lights sheets if any, mark out the sheeting along the length of the building, this will
give the correct overlaps and avoid creep.
Touch-up any damaged paint on the main frames prior to sheeting.
Mark the notch as per cover width as an aid to keeping the correct sheet coverage, take note of the starting
dimensions’ shown on the erection drawing, proceed with roof fixing from valley from valley gutter to
ridge. Direction of erection shall be as per drawing.
Final Check:
After completing all trims and accessories a final inspection of the building should be made.
All bracing in position and tightened.
