IMPORTANT

Under no circumstances should a 

support structure allow force or weight to be applied to 

polycarbonate panels! Supports must span from rafter 

to rafter when used. Consult a contractor if needed for 

additional information. Take additional steps to protect 

polycarbonate panel surface. 

Use of a lift is strongly 

recommended.

If bracing and U-channel trim were installed during 

panel installation, skip this section and continue with the 

installation of baseboards.
