|
Position all of the parts on the floor ready to fix them together. |
Each of the polycarbonate sheets is covered with a protective film to indicate which side faces outwards. It is important that you mount them the correct way round as only one side is UV-protected. |
|
|
|
|
Attach the plastic strip no. 40 to the bottom of the K polycarbonate sheet. |
This is how to attach the plastic strip to the polycarbonate sheet. |
|
|
|
|
It is important that the plastic profile is correctly fitted to the polycarbonate sheet. |
Slide two bolts part no. 78 onto the corner post no. 14 and gable bar no. 15. |
|
|
|
|
Slide one leg of the plastic fitting no. 86 into the corner post no. 14. |
Push the other leg of the plastic fitting no. 86 into the gable bar no. 15. |
|
|
|
|
Join the corner post no. 14 to the gable bar no. 15 around the plastic fitting no. 86 to get the correct angle for the roof. |
The corners are held together by the eaves gusset plate no. 18 and four bolts no. 78. |
|
|
|
|
Tighten the nuts no. 79 and bolts no. 78. |
Make sure that the corner post no. 14 and the gable bar no. 15 sit tightly around the plastic fitting no. 86. |
|
|
|
|
Now push the polycarbonate sheet K into the frame with the plastic strip no. 40 attached. |
Now insert two bolts no. 78 into the wall post no. 11/21 and one bolt no. 78 into the gable bar no. 15. |
|
|
|
|
Push the wall post no. 11/21 against the polycarbonate sheet K and the gable bar no. 15. |
Join the wall post no. 11/21 and gable bar no. 15 together using the top gusset plate no. 17. |
|
|
|
|
Fasten the top gusset no. 17 with the nuts no. 79. |
Push one bolt no. 78 into the wall post 11/21 and through the bottom of the corner post no. 14. |
