With the door jambs attached, measure and mark the height of the
5.
rough door opening.
Consult drawing below and the Door Frame
Layout located in the Quick Start
section located at the back of these
instructions
. Measure from finished grade to underside of header.
Locate the 105488120 header, measure the
6.
outside-to-outside
distance of the door jambs and cut the header to required length.
Using a metal saw, cut two 2" sections and bend the lip inward from
7.
both ends of the door header as shown to the right (see photos F and
G). This creates two (2) lips and allows the header to be attached to
the door jambs.
Open channel of the header points upward.
Drill a 3/8" hole near each end of the header to create a drain hole for
8.
the header. This helps prevent water from collecting inside the door
header (see photo H).
Position the header so that the two (2) lips on each side overlap the
9.
door jambs (see photo H) and align the bottom of the header with
vertical support marks made in Step 5.
With the header level, attach the front and back of the header to
10.
the door jambs using wafer head screws. Reinforce the header by
securing the bent lip to the vertical support using Tek screws as
shown in photo H. (or, customer-supplied bolts can be used.)
After the door frame is square and assembled, secure the door jambs
11.
in the ground using concrete.
NoTe:
Concrete should remain at least 2"-4" below ground level so
that it does not interfere with construction, installation of other end
wall components (if equipped), or the operation of the door.
After assembling the door frame, continue with the door assembly.
