    NOTES:
    1. All spans are in mm.
    2. Pressures are maximum permissible values with a safety factor of 1.8 on the ultimate mean failure load.
    3. Where required, Ultimate Limit State Pressure values are obtained by multiplying table values by 1.8 (Safety factor) and 0.9 (Material factor).
      i.e., Ultimate Limit State value (kPa) = Table value x 1.8 x 0.9 (kPa).
    4. The maximum permissible pull out load on a rib fixing is 1.8 kN. Always check that adequate fixing capacity is provided.
    5. The spans are for single spans i.e. panel supported at the ends. The spans in multi-span cases are no greater than for the single span case.
    6. The maximum overhang is 0.25 times the maximum span for the given conditions, provided this value does not exceed 600 mm for 50mm SolarSpan, 1000mm for 75mm SolarSpan and 1200mm for 90mm SolarSpan.
