Preparing and Installing Gable Panels

1. The 24” x 96” panel received with your Dura-Breeze Screen Room must be cut into two 

pieces to match your roof pitch. 

Before proceeding, make sure roof is 

fi

 rmly seated on the front Wall Panels.  

2. Start the layout for cutting the Panel by getting

measurement “A” (See Drawing) which is along the top of

the Wall Panels from back of RV Wall Channel to the front

end of the Side Wall Panels.  Measurement “B” is the

RV Wall Channel; from top of Wall Panel to top of the RV 

Channel.  Measurement “C” is 1/2” up the side of 

Panel from the edge of “A”.  “D” is line drawn between “B”

and “C”.  Cut Panel on line “D”.

10. Install Center Post inside the room.  Center Post on 

the joint of the two screen panels.  Loosen Black Knob and 

adjust the post insert up into position and then tighten 

Black Knob to hold into position.  Plumb post and then mark 

position of Post Top on the underside of Awning.  Lower 

post insert and tighten knob to prevent insert from sliding 

down inside post.  Remove Post Top Bracket and fasten in 

position just marked.  Fasten with #8 x 1/2” screw through 

center of Post Top Bracket.   Slide Post back up into 

position and install screw and wing nut.  Be sure wing nut 

is on inside of room.  Recheck to be sure post is plumb.

12. Attach Trim Cover by 

fi

 rst drilling through 

pre-punched center and bottom holes and then 

install Bolts and Wing Nuts as in the other 

Trim Cover installations.

 

13.  Install the provided 3” long Anchor Angle 

as you did at the front corners.  It should be 

located at the joint of the Wall Panel and the 

Spacer Panel.

14.  Repeat process for other side wall.

11.  Secure bottom Post Anchor with screws supplied.  When the post has been installed 

correctly it will leave a 1-1/4” space between head of the screw on Post Top Bracket and 

Valance Track.  The 1-1/4” is clearance needed for Gable Panel.

Note: If  You are installing Posts on a Pressure Treated Lumber Deck.  
You will be supplied with a piece of 4” x 4-1/2” Black Flashing with 
Paper coated adhesive on one side for each Post.  Peel the paper off 
from the Flashing and stick the Flashing to the bottom of the Post 
Anchor.  Then trim the excess Flashing from around the Post Anchor.
