Product Description and Features

LYSAGHT® Purlins and Girts are lightweight structural steel members, designed in accordance with the AS/NZS 4600: 1996 Cold Formed Steel Structures utilising high strength zinc-coated steel.

Purlins and Girts LYSAGHT® Zed sections may be used over single spans, unlapped and lapped continuous spans in multi-bay buildings. Lapped continuous spans result in considerable capacity increase in the system.

Purlins should be stored off the ground and on a slight slope so that water can drain away
Direct contact of incompatible material with coating should be avoided. In such applications, suitable paint systems should be obtained from paint manufacturers
Consider orientation of Zed and Cee purlins in relation to possible build-up of substances such as dust or grain
Special transport requirements are needed for lengths over 12000mm
Span tables assume the use of LYSAGHT® bridging and LYSAGHT® recommended bolts
