ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION FOR ROOF PANELS
Skip this section if panels are installed.
An alternative
method to sliding upper panels in from side shows sliding
upper panel into H-channel from the bottom. If you were
unable to install panels from the side, try this procedure:
a.
After installing first upper panel and the next
set of lower panels, prepare next upper panel
as previously described
but do not attach any
H-channel along the edge
.
b. With an assistant stationed along side, someone
near panel bottom, and another at top, insert panel
corner into H-channel of installed upper panel.
c. With someone pushing gently from side to keep
panel in H-channel, have an assistant push panel
up from bottom.
Lubricate the H-channel and edge
of panel with water if needed. See circle above.
d. Once panel is fully installed, prepare and attach a
piece of H-channel to panel edge.
REMEMBER:
Cut H-channel 2" shorter than panel
length to install U-channel at each end later.
Install UV-protected
side toward sun.
e. Align ends of panel with ends of previous installed
panel and secure panel to rafters as described
(See Step 7).
ATTENTION:
Verify that upper panel ends on both
sides of frame are aligned. See solid line above.
Dashed line shows tops of lower panels under
upper panels.
f. Repeat steps as needed to install all remaining
panels.
g. With all panels installed, continue with procedure
on next page.
