Components for a roof assembly include a glazing having a main support member and a cap engaging member. The cap engaging member has a detent portion extending from an edge region back towards an opposite edge region. The component also includes a beam member a main support member and a rafter support member for supporting a rafter assembly. The rafter support member has a securing portion extending from an edge region. A ridge end member is also disclosed which has a plurality of segment extending radially outwardly from a hub member. Each segment has an elongate mounting member on an edge opposite the hub member. There is also disclosed a wing member for a valley rafter assembly. The wing member has first and second elements secured together. Each of the elements comprises a portion of a mounting formation to which a glazing bar can be mounted. The components further include a bracket arrangement comprising a first bracket mountable on a first rafter assembly, and a second bracket mountable on a second rafter assembly. Securing means is provided to secure the first bracket to the second bracket.
A beam member for a roof arrangement, the beam member comprising a main support member and a rafter support member for supporting a rafter assembly, the rafter support member extending outwardly from the main support member, wherein securing means is provided on the rafter support member at an edge region of the rafter support member, the securing means comprising upstanding means extending from the rafter support member and adapted to cooperate with a part of a securing member of a rafter assembly.
A glazing bar comprising a main support member and a cap engaging member on an edge region of the main support member, the cap engaging member comprising a detent portion extending from said edge region back towards an opposite edge region of the main support member to engage a selected one of a plurality of corresponding detents on a cap to be engaged by the cap engaging member.
A ridge end member for a hipped roof arrangement, the ridge end member comprising a plurality of segments extending outwardly from a hub member, and each segment comprising an elongate mounting member on an edge thereof opposite the hub member to which a plurality of glazing bars can be mounted.
A ridge end member according to claim 48 wherein the connecting device is provided with indicia to represent the angle to the horizontal at which the glazing bars should extend therefrom.
A wing member for a valley rafter assembly, the wing member comprising first and second elements secured together, wherein each of the first and second elements comprises a portion of a mounting formation, and the first and second elements being arranged such that the mounting portions together form the mounting formation to which a glazing bar can be mounted.
A bracket arrangement for connecting a first rafter assembly to a second rafter assembly, the bracket arrangement comprising a first bracket mountable on the first rafter assembly and a second bracket mountable on the second rafter assembly, and the arrangement further including securing means for securing the first bracket to the second bracket, wherein the first bracket comprises a first main portion and first holding means for holding the securing means in adjustable relationship relative to the first main portion, and the second bracket comprises a second main portion and second holding means for holding the securing means in adjustable relationship relative to the second main portion.
