3 Theoretical allowable loads are based on section properties and allowables calculated in accordance with 2001 AISI Specifications. allowable loads are based on three or more uniform For roof panels, deduct self weight for actual live load capacity of the These loads are for panel strength. Frames, purlins, decks and fasteners must be designed to resist all loads imposed on the Check local building codes if panel testing is Tuff-Rib panel is an industry leader in strength and durability.

6 Condensation or other moisture can formbetween the sheets during storage causing water stains or white rust which detract from the appearance of the product andmay affect the product s useful life. Trapped moisture between sheets of painted metal can cause white rust to form under-neath the paint. This can cause the paint to flake off the panel immediately or several years later. To prevent white rust andstaining, break the shipping bands on the material. Store the material on end or on an incline of at least 8 with a supportingboard underneath to prevent sagging.

7 Fan the sheets slightly at the bottom to allow for air circulation. Keep the sheets off ofthe ground with an insulator such as wood. Any outdoor storage is at the customer s own risk. If outdoor storage cannot beavoided, protect the metal using a canvas cover or waterproof paper. Never cover the metal with plastic as this will causecondensation to wear protective gloves when working with steel panels to avoid cuts from sharp edges. When cutting or drilling steelpanels, always wear safety glasses and sweep off any metal shavings immediately to prevent eye injury from flying metalfragments.

8 If you must walk on a metal roof, take great care. metal panels can become slippery, so always wear shoes withnon-slip soles. Avoid working on metal roofs during wet conditions when the panels can become extremely that the structure is square and true before beginning panel installation. If the structure is not square, the panels willnot properly seal at the sidelaps. Start the first panel square to eave by using the 3, 4, 5 Triangle Method. Green or damplumber is not recommended.

9 Moisture released from the damp lumber may damage the metal panels. Nails installed ingreen or damp lumber may back out. Remove any loose metal shavings left on the roof surface immediately to preventcorrosion. After installing roof, remove any debris such as leaves or dirt to prevent moisture from getting trapped on you wish to predrill fastener holes, use a cover sheet to prevent hot shavings from sticking to panels. Screws - For bestresults, use a 1-1/2 washered wood screw in the flat of the panel as shown in the illustration below.

10 Drive the fastener sothat the washer is compressed securely against the metal . Do not over drive the fastener as this will form a dimple thatcan collect water and cause leakage. Do not leave any loose fasteners that have missed the purlin.
