POLYCARBONATE ROOF PANELS (continued)
10. Repeat steps 1-9 to prepare and install next two lower
panels for next frame bay.
ATTENTION:
Do not install H-channel along panel
edge that will connect to previously installed panel.
Verify that panels align with center of rafters and that
each panel is fully inserted into H-channel of previously
installed panel.
If you are unable to install second set of panels due
to limited assistants or other reasons, review the
alternative installation steps in next column. If you
were able to install panels, continue with Step 11.
ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION FOR ROOF PANELS
During assembly, sometimes installing panel from the side
is challenging. An alternative method shows sliding lower
panels into H-channel from top. Review diagrams below for
another way to install lower panels.
a. After installing lower panels of first frame bay,
prepare the next lower panel as previously
described
but do not attach any H-channel along
the edge
.
b. With an assistant stationed along side and
someone near panel top, insert lower corner of
panel into H-channel of installed panel.
c. With someone pushing gently from the side to keep
panel in H-channel, have an assistant push panel
down from top.
Lubricate H-channel and edge of
panel with water if needed.
d. Once panel is fully installed, attach a piece of
H-channel to panel edge and secure panel to frame
as previously described (See Step 7).
e. Continue with next step.

8. After installing first lower panel, select another 116051
panel (47-1/4" x 144") and prepare for installation as
described in Steps 1-4.
9. Move to opposite side of frame (same bay) and install
panel in lower position for that side. Review previous
panel installation steps and information if needed.
