2. Allow a nominal 40mm sag between purlins. If mesh is used, ensure that the mesh is installed loosely to allow for this sag
3. Overlap by 50mm at joints and apply 72 to 100mm reinforced foil tape to top of join.
4. End joins should be overlapped by 600mm if not taped.
5. Fix roof sheeting by screwing through AIR-CELL^® to the purlins.
