More About Cladco Metal Cleats
Our metal pre-punched cleats are designed specifically with our existing Z and C purlins in mind. These corresponding purlin cleats ease the installation process of purlins onto the structural frame, ideal for either cladding and roofing< projects.
This metal bracket is secured to a supporting fixture, such as an RSJ, allowing for your purlins to be easily attached to the structural joists. Cleats can be mounted either on the top of the joist or positioned perpendicularly within it, enabling the purlin to sit flush with the edge. This configuration can be chosen based on your specific purlin support requirements.
Cleat specifications
- Length: 135mm, 173mm, 195mm
- Width: 129mm
- Depth: 69mm
- Punched hole size: 18.25mm
- Material: S450 pre-galvanised steel
(Allow for 1mm tolerance)
The cleats are manufactured from high-strength galvanised steel to ensure that potential rusting and corrosion is minimal and that the purlin system remains sturdy and properly secured.
As well as being tailor-made for our range of metal purlins, the pre-punched cleats fit seamlessly with our bolt set. This will allow you to complete your purlin roofing or cladding installation with ease. These fixings are also sold as a set, or separately if needed.
It is advised to store the cleats in a dry and covered area to minimise contact with moisture and reduce the risk of rust. Keep off the ground using pallets and cover with tarpaulins where possible to avoid any unnecessary wear and tear or water damage prior to installation.
We recommend using two cleats for every purlin used, for a highly secure finish.
Make sure to handle the cleats with care to avoid damage or injury. Use safety gloves for protection from the sharp edges of the steel cleats.

Customer Collection Notice
Please ensure you have pre-booked your collection slot before travelling to site.
When arriving to collect your order, please report to a member of our Warehouse Team who will register your arrival and locate your goods. Once ready, your items will be picked and brought to your vehicle loading area.
During busy periods, there may be a short wait while our yard team assist other customers or complete other loading tasks. We always do our best to work within your booked collection time.
We respectfully draw your attention to the following important points:
- Loading is ultimately the customer’s responsibility. While our team can assist with mechanical loading using forklifts, we cannot handball items into enclosed vehicles. Customers must ensure their vehicle is suitable and that goods are safely loaded and adequately secured before leaving the premises.
- Sharp sheeting, metal goods, and long/heavy items may pose additional handling risks. Please come prepared with high-quality protective gloves, and any appropriate protection materials to avoid damage to your vehicle or restraints (e.g. ropes or straps). The edges of roofing sheets and metal products can be extremely sharp, and care should be taken when handling.
- We strongly recommend that customers bring their own straps, ropes, or other securing materials, as we are unable to provide these at the point of collection.
- If you are unsure of your vehicle’s load capacity, we can advise the approximate weight of your order in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure your vehicle is suitable for transporting the goods safely and legally.
- Cladco will not be held liable for any damage to your vehicle or goods once they have been loaded and leave our premises. Loading assistance is provided entirely at the customer’s own risk.
Click & Collect – Pre-Booking Required
You are welcome to collect your order from either our Okehampton (Devon) or Andover (Hampshire) site. All collections must be pre-booked in advance so your items can be picked, packed and ready for you.
Please do not travel to site without a confirmed collection time, as we cannot guarantee your order will be available.
Once your items are ready, you will receive an email with a link to book your collection slot. Please note, same-day collections are not available and bookings must be made at least two hours in advance.
When you arrive, please bring your order confirmation and follow the signage to the collection area where a member of our team will assist you.
