POLYCARBONATE ROOF PANELS (continued)
Do not overtighten the screws.
Verify that 1" of the
panel extends beyond the ends of the H-Channel at the
top of the panel.
With the panel attached to the rafter, verify that the
17.
UV-protected surface is up and repeat the steps to
install the second 4' x 8' side panel.
Verify that the 1" clearance (Step 14) is maintained at
the top of the panel.
With the second panel in place, continue installing the
18.
remaining panels along the first side of the frame.
Repeat the procedure to install all lower panels along
19.
the remaining side of the frame.
Ground Level
Arrows show the tops
of the lower panels and
where to attach profile.
After installing all lower panels, attach the aluminum
20.
profile (104213) to the upper edge of all lower
polycarbonate panels.
NOTE:
Do not use Tek screws or washers when
installing the aluminum profile. One (1) 8' section will
cover the top edge of two adjacent panels. Trim to
length if needed.
The following steps describe measuring and trimming
12' panels to fit as upper panels. This is optional. If
you wish to use the whole length of the 12' panel,
ignore directions that involve measuring and trimming
upper panels, and simply center the panels as they fit.
Reposition mounting screws as needed if you do not
trim the panel length.
Measure 4"-6" down from the upper edge of each lower
21.
side panel and snap a chalk line to mark the bottom
edge of the upper panels.
NOTE:
The top panel overlaps the lower panel when
installed correctly.
Measure the distance between the two lines.
