SKIP THIS STEP FOR WIDTH BELOW 16 ft Components List Tools Required Front fascia rails (D) Front fascia splice (E)* Tek screws Sealant tub & gun This step only applies to patio covers with a total front width that is greater than 16 feet wide due to shipping limitations. Installer needs to splice two front fascia pieces together by inserting a “front fascia splice” insert.
STEP 1: PREPARE FRONT FASCIA Components Needed Tools Recommended Front fascia rails (D) Front fascia splice insert (B)* Fascia dams (foam) Sealant tube & gun FIRST: Lay the hanging channel and front fascia parallel and evenly on a flat level nonabrasive surface or slab. Make sure both front fascia and hanging channel rails remain even and flush together by taping every 15” across span.
STEP 2: PREPARE FRONT FASCIA Components Needed Tools Recommended Front fascia rails (D) Front fascia splice insert (B)* Fascia drains (F) Fascia dams (foam) Sealant tube & gun Top post connector (G) FIRST: Determine post spacing across entire bottom of front fascia by marking 1’ 3” from both ends of front fascia as top post connector as guide. Measure distance between the two end post locations. Evenly space remaining post within opening to provide proper support.
STEP 3: HANGING CHANNEL Components Needed Tools Recommended Hanging rail (A) Hanging channel (C) #12 x 2-1/2” Determine and Measure center point for installation on desired structure wall FIRST: Place hanging rail in desired position on structure wall or roof fascia board and mark first hole to be drilled in hanging rail relative to rafters or wall studs. Widths greater than 16 ft will require two hanging rails connected at center point.
STEP 4: ATTACH FRONT FASCIA Components Needed Tools Recommended Front fascia (D) Sealant tube & gun Post Top Brackets (G) FIRST: Determine post spacing across entire bottom of front fascia by marking 15” from both ends of front fascia with post top bracket connector (G) as guide. Mark equal spacing for remaining post by dividing entire space by number of openings between the post (4 post = 3 openings). Drill ¼” holes on marks in bottom side of fascia.
STEP 5: PREPARE POST Components Needed Tools Recommended Front fascia (D) Bottom post bracket Square post (H) A minimum of ½” per foot slope recommended for proper water drainage FIRST: Now fasten the square post to the top post connector previously installed to fascia. Drill two 3/8” diameter holes through both post and post connector. Use two 3/8” x 31/2” bolt & nuts to fasten. SECOND: Front fascia profile shown must be “level” across width of patio cover.
STEP 6: FIRST ROOF PANELS Components Needed Tools Recommended 13” wide “W” roof panels (J) Sealant tube & gun #10 x 3/8” sheet metal screw FIRST: Begin this step on far RIGHT side of hanging channel when facing the structure. Begin with “female” lock edge (see Step #8) of panel flush to hanging channel and front fascia. Top of panel slides below ledge of hanging channel to sit on groove for screw location.
STEP 7: LAST ROOF PANELS Components Needed Tools Recommended 13” wide “W” roof panels (J) #10 x 3/8” sheet metal screw FIRST: Begin this step on far LEFT side of hanging channel when facing the structure leaving large space from first roof panel. Last roof panel needs “male” lock edge (see Step #8) flush to outside edge of hanging channel and front fascia. Top of panel slide below top ledge of hanging channel to sit on groove for screw location.
STEP 8: SNAPPING PANELS Components Needed Tools Recommended 13” wide “W” roof panel (J) #10 x 3/8” sheet metal screw Sealant tube & gun FIRST: YOU MUST ALWAYS ADJUST THE INTERLOCKING JOINT BETWEEN THE TWO PANELS TO ALIGN WITH THE 12” MARKS ON THE HANGING CHANNEL AND THE FRONT FASCIA.
