<strong>ERECTION</strong> <strong>AND</strong> <strong>SAFETY</strong> <strong>MANUAL</strong><br />
A second method, when equipment is limited, (while not recommended) is illustrated below. After the column<br />
is erected, the fi rst rafter section, with the lifting cable around the balance point, is raised into position and<br />
bolted to the column. Then, when the free end of the rafter is supported by any safe method (such as an<br />
adequate wood frame, or a metal scaffold, properly braced, and of satisfactory capacity ) the lifting cable can<br />
be released. The procedure is then repeated until the entire frame is in place and bolted together at the ridge.<br />
Still a third method for erecting rigid frames with limited equipment adopts the same support procedure described<br />
previously, but differs in that the sidewall column and the fi rst rafter section are bolted together on<br />
the ground and raised into position in one lift. The lifting cable is again attached at the balance point (about<br />
the quarter point of the rafter in this case). When the column is secured by the anchor bolts and the free end<br />
supported, the process is repeated with the frame bolted together at the ridge.<br />

Stay well in the clear of loads being moved by any type of lifting equipment or supported<br />
by temporary bracing. Safety fi rst!<br />
