FEATURES
Steel purlins & girts are designed to carry load in one
direction, that is perpendicular to the roof plane.
Purlins/Grirts cannot be allowed to deflect from that
line. Bridging is a method of preventing torsion and
increasing the carrying capacity. It helps the purlins
from twisting and to keep it perpendicular to roof plane.

Bridging is by far the quickest and most common

method to stiffen and enhance the load carrying
capacity of purlins.

INSTALLATION
Bridging can be installed up the slope of the roof, starting with fascia bridging, then all intermediate bridging. Then
install the ridge bridging to pull the purlins straight, and finally adjust the fascia bridging to correct fascia purlin twist.

Alternatively, install the ridge bridging and straighten the ridge purlins, then install the immediate bridging to the fascia.
Fix and adjust the fascia bridging for straightness and twist.

Note that on steep roofs or where long bridging runs are used, the turn-buckles used for the ridge bridging are not
intended to pull straight a large number of sagging purlins.

Similarly, care should be taken when girts are used on high wall, whereby long intermediate bridging members are not
subjected to an excessive compressive load.
