3. Connecting frame to the wall
When erecting the canopy frame, judgement should be used to determine the most appropriate fixing component to attach the metal plates to the exterior wall, bearing
in mind the strength and condition of the wall. If deemed appropriate, substitute the included wall fixing.
Lock into position the two square metal tubes using 4 x12mm bolts with the four metal brackets at the wall end of the canopy. At the opposite end position a Rafter on
top of the track sections up against the outside of the legs and secure in place with 3 x 70mm screws as shown. Put the canopy frame into position, ensure that feet are
flat on the floor and the tracks are level using a sprit level. Mark the wall with the position of the 4 holes of each wall plate.
For the fixings included, remove the frame work and drill 10mm diameter holes at positions marked to a depth of 50mm. Gently tap the fixing bolts into the hole. Reposition
the canopy frame on to the studs and secure using the washer, spring washer and the nut.
