British Purlins Rail Systems – Intermediate Support for Structural Stability
At British Purlins, our Rail Systems Intermediate Support solutions ensure optimal structural integrity for cladding rails spanning over 2.5 meters. Intermediate supports play a crucial role in enhancing load distribution, preventing excessive deflection, and maintaining overall stability.
Key Intermediate Support Guidelines
✔ Intermediate struts with diagonal ties are used to reinforce longer spans.
✔ Struts are positioned based on span length:
- Midpoint support for spans up to 6.1m
- Third-span support for spans up to 9m
✔ For spans exceeding 9m, consult our Technical Team for customized solutions.
Midpoint & Third-Point Support for Side Rails
✔ Midpoint Support – Recommended for spans up to 6.1m, positioned at the center of the span.
✔ Third-Point Support – Used for spans up to 9m, positioned at third-span intervals for enhanced structural reinforcement.
📌 Diagonal Tie Wires are required to meet anti-sag minimum requirements for roof slopes exceeding 20m.
