Layout Parts and ensure all parts listed above are included.
-
If you purchased your unit pre-assembled, please skip to step 5.
-
-
-
Orient the Roof Panel with the gutter facing up and line up the Left Side Gusset under the left edge of the Roof Panel.
-
Be sure the mounting flange is facing towards the center of the Roof Panel and the top pre-drilled holes are aligned with the Gusset and the Roof Panel.
-
Once the Left Side Gusset is aligned properly, secure it by fastening the (3) provided self-tapping screws through the Roof Panel into the Gusset.
-
Repeat this for the Right Side Gusset.
-
It may help to prop the unit up on 2x4 planks.
-
-
-
The Center Gussets will have slightly larger notches to make installation of the Roof onto the Mounting Cleat easier.
-
Line up the (2) Center Gussets with the pre-drilled holes in the Roof Panel.
-
Secure the Center Gussets by fastening the (3) provided self-tapping screws through the Roof Panel into the Gusset.
-
-
-
Measure the Roof Mounting Cleat width and the opening width and mark the center lines for reference to ensure The Metal Roof is mounted centered to the opening.
-
The bottom of the Metal Roof will end up 5" lower than the holes in the Roof Mounting Cleat.
-
Orient the Roof Mounting Cleat centered on the wall with the bend in the Cleat facing up and away from the wall as shown. Make sure the Cleat is level and the mounting holes are 5" above where you want the bottom of the roof to be.
-
Once you have the cleat located properly, using best practices for your surface material, anchor the cleat in place.
-
-
-
Using a Fork Lift or some other source for lifting the roof up, gently hang the Roof assembly by interlocking the back lip of the Roof onto the Roof Mounting Cleat.
-
Be sure that the back edge of the Roof Assembly is fully seated along the entire span of the Roof Mounting Cleat.
-
There is some wiggle room left to right to adjust and make sure your roof is centered on the opening before fully securing the Roof Assembly to the mounting surface.
-
-
-
Once the Roof Assembly is in the desired location, using best practices for your surface material, anchor the (4) Gussets into the mounting surface.
-
-
-
Locate the provided Aircraft Cable Kits.
-
Fasten one end of the Aircraft Cable to the inside of the gutter by taking the Bolt and Washer through the pre-drilled hole on the inside face of the gutter located roughly 12" from each end and attach the nut on the backside.
-
Secure the other side of the aircraft cable using best practices for your surface material to anchor the cable to the mounting surface.
-
Be sure the cables are taut and helping support the Roof Assembly.
-
Repeat for the other side.
-
-
-
Once The Roof Assembly is installed, be sure to caulk anywhere that you can see daylight.
-
Pay extra attention to the gaps between the back edge of The Roof Assembly and the mounting surface.
