Installation Instructions

INSTALLING PANEL TWO: Check the list on the previous page for the length of panel 2 and any additional pan-
els for your building.
If you have not removed the protective paper on the butyl tape that you applied to panel 1, do that at this time.
Now, position panel two as shown below with a 2” (or more depending on the panels used on your building) overlap on
panel one. Press the panels together well to create a good seal with the butyl caulk. The lower (under lap) edge of the
panel should line up with the marks on the peaks. Before you install screws, make sure that the frame sections are the
same distance apart at the peak as they are at the base rail. Attach the panel with screws on both sides of the major ribs
at the lap joint and above the major ribs at other locations. Do not install screws above the lower edge rib or at the end of
panels that continue on down the roof. Assemble all the panels in the first course required for your building.

INSTALLING THE SECOND LOWER COURSE OF PANELS:
The second course of panels will be installed starting at the opposite end of the carport.
Slide the under lap edge of the first panel of the second course under the lower edge of the last panel in the first course.
Note: On one side of the roof, you will be inserting a under lap edge under an under lap edge. This is fine and it only oc-
curs once. In the rest of the installation, the under lap rib will go under an overlap rib. Install the screws at the end of the
carport to hold the panel in place. (No screws above the lower edge at this time.)
Select the next panel to be installed and run a bead of butyl caulk tape on one end 1” from the end. The panel should be
positioned with the under lap edge on the upper side of the panel. Remove the protective paper from the butyl caulk.
Now, lift the end of the panel you just installed and the edge of the first course of panels above and insert the next panel
2” under the previous panel. Check your dimensions and press the panel overlap tightly together. Install screws in the
overlap joint and all screws in the previous panel and the panels above that will not have to be lifted to insert additional
panels. Note: To reach all of the screw locations, you will have to get up high on your ladder and lean on the roof with
your hand or knee. When you do this, press only on the flat sections between ribs and make sure that you press only
over a frame section.
NOTE: The second panel will also be 10’
long if your frame is only 18’ long. This panel
will overhang the other end of the carport
frame 11”.
ADDITIONAL PANELS DOWN CARPORT
LENGTH: Install additional panels down the
length of the carport as needed in the same
manner as you installed panel 2. See list on
previous page for panel lengths on your
building.
Install all panels down the peak of the car-
port/building before moving on to the second
lower course of panels.
Don’t forget to install foam closures at the
ends of the structure if the end is to be
enclosed.

Continue this installation method until
the roof is sheeted on one side. The
last panel on the side will be bent down
around the frame and become a short
side panel. Start all panels courses
from the end of the carport that you
started the second course of panels.
