PATIO COVER INSTRUCTION SHEETS Check Roof panel is SQUARE J K L Line up all POSTS on the front side of the chaulk line popped in step #4-B Keeping back side of post BOTTOMS on the chaulk line...Plumb level the front side of the post, only moving the top…when it is plumb level, REMOVE THE CARDBOARD... Then Use a hammer to slowly drive a 5inch tek screw with washer SLOWLY through the top skin of ROOF PANEL until it hits the BEAM keeping it 4 inches away from MALE edge of panel.
PATIO COVER INSTRUCTION SHEETS M ANCHOR the POSTS: Set each post in front of the chaulk line…use 4ft level to plumb level the post on front and side of each post. Once post is plumb level both directions drill a 3/8" hole through the Bottom Post Bracket(#K) into the slab and insert the WEDGE ANCHORS and tighten Repeat for each post STEP #5 : Setting All Roof Panels A B Carefully unwrap the next roof panel…look for any dents….turn panel so any dents or dings are up on top side.
