Installation Basics

The installation is completed in three stages

.  

1. Stage One

: Layout and install Floor Channel, Mounting Rail and Wall Channel.  

2. Stage Two:

 Install the Wall and Door Panels.  

3. Stage Three:

 Install Roof and Gable Ends.

It is suggested that you read these instructions completely before starting the job.  They detail the steps in each 
of the three stages of the project. 

All references to ‘Left and ‘Right are while you are facing the room from outside the room.

As in all quality construction, key elements are to be kept square, level and plumb.  This is especially critical 
with the Floor Channel and Wall Channel.  Taking the time to install these correctly will help avoid problems 
later in the project.

Because of the wide variety of patio, porch and deck fl oors, it is left to the judgment of the job contractor on 
how best to level the Floor Channel.

The length of Front Wall is distance between the outside edge of the Side Floor Channels.  Length of the Side 
Walls is from the back of the Wall Channel to the front of the Floor Channel.  The measurements in your 
Project Planner are these outside measurements.

*If you are installing a Dura-Bilt Roof and Deluxe Three-Season Room at the same time, the Mounting Rail 
is to be installed in Stage One.  Establishing the Mounting Rail location is covered in these instructions.  
However, you must follow the Dura-Therm or Dura-Lock instructions for proper Mounting Rail installation 
procedures.

If the roof is already installed, it is necessary to raise the front of the roof several inches above the fi nal height 
of the room wall.  Brace the roof solidly in position.  Remove any Roof  Post Assemblies not needed.

  

If the 

existing Front Header will interfere with the Deluxe Front Header, it must be removed. New screws are
provided for the new Deluxe Front Header.  

Because you may encounter out of plumb home walls or some growth in the side walls of the room, the two 
Starter Panels will give you the fl exiblity to position them within the wall channel or to cut down their width, 
if necessary.
