Lift the eaves beam onto the bi fold
support beam ensuring the bolt
channel is positioned to the inside
and taking care to allign the drilled
holes with the bolts.
Using the socket flange nuts
provided locate them on the bolts.
Once all nuts have been located on
their corresponding bolts fully peel
back the sealing tape film on both
sides and tighten down the nuts.
Fitting bi-fold bolster to the eaves.
PRE-FITTING NOTES:
9mm fixing holes should be pre-drilled in the eaves beam 50mm in from each end of the bolster and at a maximum of
300mm centres.
The bolts should be prefitted to the bolster and secured in place using flange nuts to prevent them moving out of
alignment. Don't loosen the flange nuts unless they require alteration to align them with the eaves beam holes. It is
advisable to check all bolts align correctly with their corresponding holes in the eaves beam prior to removing the film
from the sealing tape.
The bolster is to be fitted between corner posts with frames below. If only one side is bolstered, none bolstered sides will
require a 70mm frame addon to allow all frames to be manufactured to the same height.
The bolster is not a symmetrical component so must be positioned in the correct orientation to allow for the bolts
to align correctly and the bolster to sit flush with the eaves beam.
Fix the bolster to the frames using
self drilling screws through the
frames and up into the bolster.
If steel reinforcement is included in
the frames it may require pre-
drilling.
Using sealant apply around the
heads of the fixings ensuring a
water tight seal.
Apply sealant to the frames to
ensure a weather tight seal between
the bolster and the frames. Once
the sealant has been applied lower
the bolstered eaves onto the
frames.
