END PANEL INSTALLATION
After end wall framing is installed, attach polycarbonate
panels. Steps that follow describe one way to complete the
end wall panel installation.
Materials and parts needed to assemble end panels
include:
• Polycarbonate panels and white vent tape
• Aluminum U-channel profile (104213)
• Aluminum End Cap provile (104548)
• Aluminum 8' H-channel (113236Z096)
• Tek screws (FA4484B)
• Neo-bonded, galvanized washers (102921B)
Read the following information before starting:
• U-channel profile is used to finish the sides and top
edges of the polycarbonate panels.
• H-channel is used to join two (2) separate
polycarbonate panels at the seam.
• Tek Screws and galvanized washers are used to
secure aluminum channel and panels to end wall
frame.
• Install the polycarbonate panels with the UV-protected
side to the outside. Mark this side with a marker if
needed after removing the protective film.
ATTENTION:
The protective film must be removed
from the polycarbonate panels. Allowing the film to
remain intact and in direct sunlight will make the film
difficult if not impossible to remove.
• During preparation, rest the edges of the panels on
cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt
and damage.
• Seal the bottom edge of the panels with white vent
tape.
•
Consult the polycarbonate panels (Quick Start section)
for the location and lengths of each panel. The
diagrams are located at the back of these instructions
.
ATTENTION:
Panels must be position as shown on the
panel diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can
affect the placement of subsequent panels. In addition, the
amount of aluminum profile used between panels and to
finish the panel edges may not be adequate if additional
seams are created. Begin at the
door end
of the building.
NOTE:
Install all accessories (fans, vents, heaters, etc.)
after installing all polycarbonate sheets.
Secure all polycarbonate panels as shown in the diagrams
and photos below, unless otherwise noted.
