SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY
PROCEDURE
For the point of this plan we have used a standard 2.57m wide x 3.80m Length as an illustration. Other models will have
different final dimensions or views, but use the same process for assembly.
From the main box you require:
Pack of side bars marked “side bars”.
Pack of gutters, angles and cills marked “side”.
From the pack of fittings you need: Nuts and bolts + the Glazing beading.
You need for each frame: 1 gutter/eave, 1 cill, 2 diagonal angles and 5 side bars. Before assembling any of the side frame
section you will need to slide the required number of bolts into the glazing bars. (See drawing). Assemble the side frames as
shown.
1.
Slide the glazing beading into each side bar taking care not to stretch the material. Trim off any surplus level with the ends
of the glazing bar.
2.
Lay the 9 components on the floor as though you were standing inside the Polycarbhouse i.e. with the gutter and cill facing
downwards and the bolt slot of the glazing bar upwards. (Key point)
3.
Slide 3 bolts into each glazing bar, the middle bolt will be used later to attach the cantilever tee bars. Fix the combined
eaves and gutter bars to the glazing bars by pushing the bolt previously inserted through the holes in the lower flange of the
eave and secure with a nut. Ensure that the glazing bar is pushed up under the gutter and is tight up against the inside
shoulder of the eave. (Key Point). Do the same with the rest of the glazing bars.
4.
Fix the cill in a similar way to 3 above but start with the middle glazing bars and work outwards.
5.
The 2 outer glazing bars have the angle ties bolted to them. Before attaching the nuts, place the tie bar over the bolts so
that they point outwards towards the end of the eaves bar. They must be arranged so that the inside of the angle, in each
case faces towards the middle of the house.
N.B. for the 3.804m model there are 2 angle ties per side, for the 5.040m there are 4 per side: the extra braces are centrally
positioned (diagonally like the 2 end ones) for additional strength.
6.
Ensure that the glazing bars are tight up against the cill and inside shoulder of the eave, tighten all nuts. The nuts and bolts
are aluminum and only require one turn with the spanner after first finger tip tightening. (Key Point).
7.
Do exactly the same with the other side frame.
WELL DONE! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE 2 SIDE FRAMES!
