Installation Instructions

INSTALL HANGERS AND FASTENERS
• Hangers need to be installed above the main
beams typically every four feet.
• Snap a chalk line for each of the main
beams. Attach hangers and wires to the
deck above the rst row of main beams
at four-foot intervals.
• Stretch a guide string from one end of
the room to the other, below the molding
where the rst main beam will hang.
• Stretch a leveling string from one side
to the other 7/8" above the bottom of the
wall molding.
• Bend the wires at the height of the string
so that the main beam is held at the
correct height.
• Wrap hanger wire securely around itself three
times.
INSTALL THE FIRST MAIN BEAM
• Install the rst section of main beam.
(Cut the end so that a cross tee route hole
is located the border distance in from the
end wall.)
• Insert a hanger wire into a hanger wire
hole near the other end of the main beam.
Bend the wire up and wrap it around itself
three times. Continue to insert all other
hanger wires.
