9. Attach the rear built in base/cill (marked rear end) to the bottom of the side corner bars by in-
serting a bolt in the facing bolt slot at the bottom of the side corner bar and then into the pre-
fabricated slot in the built in base/cill.
10. Attach the vertical glazing bars to the built in base/cill by inserting a bolt into the bolt channel
of each glazing bar and locating it with the punched holes in the built in base. Before securing
the nuts attach the angle diagonal ties to the bottom of the 3
rd
and 5
th
glazing bar as illustrated
on the rear end exploded diagram). The top of the diagonal angle tie now attaches to the
bot-
tom
hole in the eaves gusset plate.
(Key point).
Do not tighten the nuts that hold the diagonal
angles yet.
11. Slide five bolts (4 for dwarf wall models) into the bolt channel at the top of the 1st and 7th
vertical glazing bars, four bolts into 3rd and 5th, and 2 bolts into the top of the 2nd, 4th and
6th vertical glazing bars. Secure the last one in each bar to the roof corner bars by inserting
the bolt through the punched hole in the flange. Remember, if you are fitting a louvre into the
rear gable, you must slide 2 extra bolts down each bar onto which the louvre will be fitted.
(Key point).
12. You can now attach the horizontal angle brace to the
top bolt
of the eaves gusset plates and to
the top bolts in the glazing bars you inserted, above. The horizontal brace is not bolted to the
2
nd
, 4
th
and 6
th
glazing bar. The remaining bolts will be used to attach the diamond shelf. The
shelf can be fitted at any time provided the bolts have been inserted .
13. Check that all angles between the built in base and the vertical members are at right angles
and that the glazing bars are right into the built in base at the bottom.
(Key point).
14. Tighten all nuts.
