INSTALL ROOF PANELS
The following steps describe one way to install the roof.
Gather the Parts:
• Corrugated roof panels - 12' ft. (#104621G)
• Corrugated roof panels - 8' ft. (#104620G)
• Corrugated ridge caps (#105520)
• Tek screws and neo-bonded washers
ATTENTION:
Use Tek screws and neo-bonded washers to
attach the roof panels.
Install all roof panels with the
UV-protected side toward the sun. Install the Tek screws in
the valleys of the panels.
The position of the panels depends on where the upper hat
channel runs were installed.
Before you secure the panels
to the hat channel,
use a section of ridge cap to verify that
the upper gap between the panels can be covered with the
ridge cap. Adjust panel positions as needed.
1. Locate all 12' polycarbonate panels (#104621G) and
cut each of these panels in half. These panels are used
for the top row on both sides of the roof. Tin snips or
other similar cutters can be used to cut panels.
ATTENTION:
Do not
cut the 8' polycarbonate panels
(#104620G). These are used for the bottom row.
2. After cutting all 12' panels in half, place these in an
accessible location and continue with the next step.
3. Position the first 8' corrugated panel (#104620G) on the
roof as shown
with the UV-protected surface exposed
to the sun
. (Panels are marked.)
INSTALL SHELTER BRACING
The diagonal shelter bracing is installed
after
the frame is
squared and anchored and
before
installing the roof panels.
Gather the parts:
• Bracing (#105090)
• Tek screws
Complete these steps to install the diagonal bracing for the
shelter.
1. Locate one (1) five-foot (5') brace and place it into
position as shown below.
NOTE:
Before attaching the brace to the rafter leg,
verify that the rafter is plumb (side-to-side and front-to-
back).
2. Secure the brace to the rafter using Tek screws as
shown above.
3. Repeat the procedure for the remaining diagonal rafter
braces.
NOTE:
To keep all diagonal bracing consistent
throughout the frame, measure the location of the
first brace and duplicate that measurement for the
remaining braces.
4. After all diagonal bracing is installed and secured to the
assembled frame, install the roof panels.
End rafter showing
the location of the
diagonal brace.
