Steeples Installations

Typical Anchoring Detail

Because every building is different, exact installation techniques will vary. The drawing below demonstrates one of the most commonly used anchoring methods.

The installer should verify that the steeple or cupola is firmly bolted to structural members sufficient to withstand the wind load forces imposed by the steeple. Texas Clear Water, Inc. can provide these loads to your building engineer or architect upon request.

All Texas Clear Water steeples are designs to rest on the fiberglass panels or the steel anchoring collar.

To prevent shingle damage, the installer may wish to rest the fiberglass edge on a metal flashing. This can be easily installed by attaching it to the steeple base.

Standing Seam Roof Installation

Mounting ring for top of customer’s piers also available from Texas Clear Water. Call for pricing.

To determine the pitch of your roof, place a level against the roof as shown below. From the point where the level touches the roof, measure out 12 inches. From this point, measure the distance, in inches, down to the roof. The number out will always be 12. For example, the roof pitch here would be expressed as 6″ on 12″.

Your Texas Clear Water steeple will arrive with the roof pitch per-cut to your specifications, so installation is simple! It is CRUCIAL, however, that you provide us with accurate information. Please study this section carefully before ordering.
