Carport Side Hat Channel Bracing.pdf

This document is a technical drawing depicting side hat channel bracing for a structure. The diagram illustrates the assembly of structural components including vertical framing members connected by hat channels positioned on the interior sides of the structure. The hat channels are specified as 1"x1⅝"x16-gauge material, with two channels required on each side of the structure spaced 18 inches apart vertically. Connection between the hat channels and vertical framing is achieved using two #12 TEK screws per connection point. The rafter component is shown mounted atop the assembly. The drawing is labeled "N.T.S." (not to scale) and appears to be a construction or assembly detail typical of architectural or engineering specifications for building systems.
