7.0 BARGE CAPPING
Only the front and two sides of the carport require the
attachment of barge capping. The rear has the gutter
attached.
Fix the side barge capping first. Position capping flush with
the front of the roof sheets and fasten through the top crest
of the roof sheets using rivets at 500mm centres (Figure 9).
Fasten the base of the capping to posts with one 12x35mm
self drilling screw. Repeat for the other side of the carport.

10.0 HELPFUL TIPS
11.0 MAINTENANCE
Sweep the roof and clean gutters after the completion of
work. Ensure any swarf and rivet stubs are removed as they
can cause unsightly rust stains.
Leave bracing struts and construction props in position until
structure is complete and concreted in. This stabilises the
structure and holds it square during construction.
Double check all measurements and drilling locations
before proceding.
Regularly check framework for squareness and vertical
alignment to make sure it hasn't moved during construction.
Regular washing or hosing of the inside and outside of your
Stratco Front Carport will ensure it looks its best at all
times. Refer to the "Selection, Use and Maintenance of
Stratco Steel Products" brochure for complete details of
maintenance requirements.

FRONT CAPPING
RIVET
The front cap is fixed through every third rib and will need to
have the return lip on the bottom edge notched using tin
snips. This should provide a neat corner joint and can be
fastened from below to hold the corner closed using a rivet
(Figure 10).
Seal with silicone at all rivet locations to waterproof.
