contact Stratco for advice. Before starting, layout all components and check them against the delivery docket. The parts description identifies each key part,
and the component layout diagram indicates their fastening position.
Double check all dimensions, levels and bolting locations before cutting, screwing or bolting structural members. It is recommended that the installers erecting
the structure have had some previous building experience because some modifications to the existing house structure may be required. If a freestanding unit
is being installed, the attachment beam becomes the rear fascia beam and is installed as per the details for the front fascia beam. Box gutters and flashings do
not need to be pre-fixed until all beams have been erected.

that a Screw Extractor kit is used to remove the screw.

construction should allow for this. A minimum 1:200 fall shall be maintained during construction for gutter fall toward
