Lateral Support of Roof Z Purlins
Lateral Support of Roof Z Purlins
(OP)
In an existing 50x120 ft metal building, Insul Basket is installed between the purlins that support standing seam metal roof. I believe that Insul Basket is not adequate for lateral bracing of the Purlins. What do you think?

You also have to resist the rollover of the purlins too. How is that being done?

The type bridging I have in mind restrains purlins against both translation and rotation. The "Insul Basket" does neither.
