3. Determine anchor spacing and pre-drill Wall Hanger accordingly.  Attach Wall Hanger/Skyview 

Hanger assembly to house. Follow Craft-Bilt anchor tables and connection details or as 
determined by your designer, architect or engineer. See drawing at the end of this guide for 
more details. Mounting height is determined by using 1:12 pitch minimum, however 2:12 is 
ideal for multi-wall sheets.

Follow this section if you are installing a patio cover.

columns to required height.

design must meed local code. If you are using Craft-Bilt columns and beam follow our 
load tables and column spacing based on your local snow loads.

3. Your connection of the columns to your floor and beam must meet local codes. If you
are using Craft-Bilt columns and beam follow our connection details.
