SUPPORT ROOF FIXING GUIDE
Before
you start approximately 4 inches above your intended wall
plate height cut a grove into the wall
1.
First decide on the correct height for the aluminum wall plate
(5 to 10 degrees) then ensuring it is level fix it to the wall at approximately
every 600mm note pvc under cladding should be on wall plate
before fixing
2.
There is a grove along the length of the wall plate designed to take
captive bolts slide these bolts into place allowing two per bar.
3.
Drill a pair of holes into the end of each bar30mm from the
top of the bar then pass the bolts through the holes you have
drilled secure into position with fixing nut. (bar spacing =
sheet size + 8mm
4.Offer
aluminum end closure up to wall on top of glazing bars and mark
glazing bar centers. Then cut a notch into the bottom of the
profile approximately 5mm wide up to the up stand. This
profile should then locate onto the end of glazing bars. Check
it
5.The
lower end of the bar should be drilled into a the lower wall
plate( not supplied) you can either use timber 4x4 which can be clad
later or if using upvc windows a purpose designed wall plate.
6.Cut
bars to length (remember to allow 60mm into the
guttering) then cut your sheets to length (remove swarf from sheets
with a vacuum then seal sheets with anti dust tape) solid tape
goes on the top edge of the poly vented on the bottom edge.
7.Fit
polycarbonate sheets in place and locate into aluminium
closure silicone to seal sheets
