Introduction
✅Step 1 - First, dig holes on the ground with equipment. The depth of the holes is determined according to the drawings.
✅Step 2 - Put the pile in the hole and fixed with a bracket, and then the concrete is poured into the hole.
✅Step 3 - Connect the triangular connector to the upper column, then fix the upper column to the pile.
✅Step 4 - Secure the clamp to the upper column.
✅Step 5 - Fix the purlin bracket to the inclined beam.
✅Step 6 - Then, overlap the inclined beam with the triangular connector, and fix the inclined brace between the inclined beam and the clamp.
✅Step 7 - Install the column tie rod and diagonal beam tie rod.
✅Step 8 - The purlins are connected in sequence with purlin connectors and purlin tie rods are installed.
✅Step 9 - Finally, solar panels are bolted to the purlins
