Step 1
CAUTION:
To avoid damage to the finish of your Cabana frame,
prepare a smooth, non-scratch work surface (shipping container, a
tarp or pool towels can be used).
Set the (4) Corner Bracket Assemblies in a
square spaced at a distance to accept the
length of the Curtain Rods.
Connect the (4) Curtain Rods to the Corner
Bracket Assemblies in such a way that the
assembly hole for the Curtain Rod Bracket
is located at the top and outside of the
frame (shown in diagram
A)
. This will allow
the Curtain Rod Bracket (installed in
Step 2
)
to receive the Arm as shown in the cutaway
diagram in the Step below. Curtain Rods
with a secondary sheer rod will require the
smaller sheer rod to be oriented to the
inside of the assembled Cabana (Optional
Sheer Curtain Rod shown in diagram
B
).
Note:
Curtain Rods and Sheer Curtain
Rods for 12’ Cabanas are equipped with a
Valance Support located in the center of the
curtain rod.
Slide Rods
fully
onto the end tube of the
Corner Brackets. Install (8) ¼-20 x 2-1/2”
Socket Head Screws with (8) ¼” Flat
Washers into pre-drilled thru holes of the
Curtain Rods loosely to retain the Corner
Brackets (at 4 corners). Secure with (8) ¼”
Flat Washers and (8) ¼-20 Locking Nuts.
Do NOT fully tighten the Socket Head
Screws and Locking Nuts until Step 3.
