BEFORE YOU START
It is important to check your Local Government Authority requirements before the installation of your new Stratco Outback
is the builder's responsibility to ensure any existing structure that an Outback Clearspan Gable is being attached to is adequately reinforced to
accommodate the additional loads imposed by the verandah, patio or carport. Read these instructions thoroughly before starting your project
and refer to them constantly during each stage of construction. Contact Stratco for advice if you do not have the necessary tools or information.
Before starting, lay out the main components in order of assembly on the ground and check them against the delivery note. The 'Components'
section identifies each part of your Outback Clearspan Gable with Cooldek and shows the relative location of the components.
Mark out the overall area of your verandah, patio or carport and ensure that it is free from obstructions. Beam to wall connections can cause
difficulty if they coincide with door and window openings, so avoid these in your design. Ensure there is reasonable access for materials and
working space and consider the disposal of run-off water. Check the column and beam positions on the ground; roughly check they are square
by measuring the diagonals, then mark out the column locations. If columns are to be 'in ground', dig the holes to Stratco specifications.
ADDITIONAL MATERIALS
The Outback kit does not include fixings to attach the unit to an existing structure or concrete/masonry anchors for the column installation.
