If you have purchased a one-canopy system, skip steps 9 & 10.

Measure inward from the centerline of the outside track 5’-4”.
Place the 

Mid-beam Bracket

on the cross beam at this distance.

This location should be directly across from the End Mounting
Bracket on the house (step 1.)  Using the 

Mid-beam Bracket

as

a template, mark the four mounting hole locations.  Remove
the bracket and drill through one side of the 

Header Beam

and

its  aluminum  insert  with  the  9/64”  drill  bit.    Secure  the 

Mid-

beam Bracket

in place with four 7/8” Tapping Screws (A).

Step 12  Fasten 

the system together

If the posts are cemented, remove the screw holding the vinyl
posts up and slide the vinyl posts backdown the wood posts.
Use a square and a level to make sure the posts are all square
and  the  beams  are  level.    Proceed  to  insert  screws  into  all
remaining fastening points.  The quantity, type, and location of
all screws is shown below.

Be sure to use the plastic washer on each screw so a plastic cap
can be applied to cover the screw.
