Top Cover Valance
Fold down the top cover valance (the portion of the top cover that overhangs the side cover). If you have our standard 1.
top cover you will have pairs of grommets on the underside of the valance hem where a cord has been pre-installed.
If you purchased our premium (Heavy Duty) top cover you will have pairs of grommets along the bottom of the
valance, but no pre-installed cord. Lacing cord has been provided in your hardware box to lace through the valance
grommets horizontally around the circumference. Make sure to lace it so the majority of the cord is visible on the
outside of the valance. With either top cover you will need to install eye screws (included in hardware box) in the
edge of the door frame (level with cord in the valance hem) for securing the ends of the cord.
Pull the cord as tight as possible and tie it securely to the eye screws. This cord cinches the top cover valance tight 2.
against the wall for a good seal.
Using the seam sealer provided (in hardware box) coat the sewn seam, which connects the roof overhang (valance) 3.
to the top cover. (This is not necessary on Premium [Heavy Duty] top covers.) This must be done when the covers
are dry and clean and it is best to do immediately after the top cover is installed.
It is also recommended to apply a coat (of seam sealer) to the seam at the top of the window flap (except on vinyl 4.
side covers).
If you purchased a door awning a local carpenter will need to build a frame to support the awning. Pacific Yurts can provide
some ideas for this. If your yurt has a rain diverter over the door now is a good time to install the PVC pipe inserts.
Slide the PVC inserts into the pockets to make an inverted “V” over the door. The fabric strip can then be pulled down 1.
and attached under the rain diverter to secure the PVC into the pocket.
