Roof Curb Supports and Levelling

To ensure the roof curb and GRW unit is properly braced, 
the curb must be supported at all indicated roof curb beam 
intersection points, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The red 
circles indicate intersections that must be supported.  The 
support structure is to be determined at the discretion of 
the unit’s owner. 

Figure 2 depicts the required roof curb support points 
for units 180” wide and less. Figure 3 depicts the required 
roof curb support points for units over 180” wide. Refer to 
submittal drawings for the exact width of the unit. 

To ensure proper drainage, the roof curb must be installed 
more level or equal to 1/100” per 1’, measured from corner 
to corner of the curb as shown in Figure 4. The maximum 
deviation in height between any two corners is ¼”.
