INSTALLING THE 2ND PANEL, 2ND COURSE AND ADDITIONAL PANELS 2ND COURSE

The additional panel/panels in the second course must be positioned with the underlap edge to the upper side of the

panel. The upper underlap edge of the panel will lap under the panel above and the end of the panel will lap under the

panel you just installed. Run a bead of butyl caulk on the end to be lapped under the previous panel 1” from the end and

remove the protective paper. Now, lift the panels above and the previous panel in the course you are installing and slide

the upper edge of the panel under the panel above and the end 2” (or more, depending on the panels used in your build-

ing) under the previous panel. Press the panels together well at the caulked end to get a good seal. For longer carports,

continue installing panels in the same manner to the end of the carport. Both ends of the carport should have the same

overhang.

Additional Courses of Sheet metal: Start all additional courses of metal on the carport at the same end as you started

the second course (the high end of the carport). Install them in the same manner. Place underlap edges under overlap

edges.
