.
■ The fixing system comprises:
– Rafter flanges
– Mounting rails
– Clamping brackets
– Screws
■ The rafter flanges can be secured directly to the rafters, the bat-
tens, counter battens or the timber shell.

When doing so, the screws must reach at least 80 mm into the
load bearing wood structure, to ensure sufficient load bearing
capacity.
■ Any unevenness in the roof can be compensated for by adjusting
the rafter flanges.
