Claims
- 1. A method of providing a roof structure having a plurality of purlins spaced apart from one another in a parallel arrangement, the method comprising:a. providing a carriage upon which is mounted a supply of support sheet and a supply of netting, wherein the netting and the support sheet include longitudinal edges; b. constructing a first section of the roof structure comprising purlins, the support sheet, and the netting; and c. moving the carriage along the length of the purlins in a direction away from the first section of the roof structure, wherein movement of the carriage dispenses the support sheet and the netting such that the longitudinal edges of the netting are placed on top of adjacent purlins.
- 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the netting is dispensed from the carriage such that the netting is underneath the support sheet.
- 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising the step of applying insulation material on top of the dispensed support sheet.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of constructing the first section of the roof structure includes fastening deck sheets to the purlins.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the netting is supplied on a roll.
- 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the roll of netting is supplied in a longitudinally pleated condition and is unfolded as the netting is dispensed from the carriage.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the supply of netting is dispensed from a dispenser having a clutch mechanism which provides tension to the netting as the netting is dispensed.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein portions of the dispensed netting are fastened to the purlins.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the supply of netting is expandable in a lateral direction generally perpendicular to the direction that the carriage moves along the length of the purlins.
- 10. The method of claim 4, wherein the longitudinal edges of the netting and the support sheet are disposed between the purlins and the deck sheets such that the netting and support sheet are supported by the fastening of the deck sheets to the purlins.
- 11. A method of providing a roof structure having a plurality of purlins spaced apart from one another in a parallel arrangement, the method comprising:a. providing a carriage carrying first and second supplies of netting; b. providing a supply of support sheet; c. constructing a first section of the roof structure comprising purlins, the support sheet, and the first and second supplies of netting; d. moving the carriage along the length of the purlins in a direction away from the first section of the roof structure, wherein movement of the carriage dispenses the support sheet and the first and second supplies of netting such that edges of the first and second supplies of netting are dispensed adjacent one another; and e. fastening the adjacent edges of the first and second supplies of netting together.
- 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the edges of the first and second supplies of netting are fastened together by stitching.
- 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the stitching is performed by a stitching machine mounted on the carriage such that the edges of the first and second supplies of netting are simultaneously fastened together as the carriage moves along the purlins.
- 14. The method of claim 11, wherein the edges of the first and second supplies of netting are fastened together by mechanical fasteners.
- 15. The method of claim 11 further comprising the step of applying insulation material on top of the dispensed support sheet.
- 16. The method of claim 11, wherein the step of constructing the first section of the roof structure includes fastening deck sheets to the purlins.
- 17. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second supplies of netting are supplied on rolls.
- 18. The method of claim 17, wherein the rolls of netting are supplied in a longitudinally pleated condition and is unfolded as the netting is dispensed from the carriage.
- 19. The method of claim 11, wherein portions of the dispensed netting are fastened to the purlins.
- 20. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second supplies of netting are expandable in a lateral direction generally perpendicular to the direction that the carriage moves along the length of the purlins.
- 21. The method of claim 11, wherein the first and second supplies of netting are dispensed from the carriage such that the edges of the netting are placed on top of adjacent purlins.
- 22. The method of claim 16, wherein the edges of the first and second supplies of netting are disposed between the purlins and the deck sheets such that the first and second supplies of netting are supported by the fastening of the deck sheets to the purlins.
