Sizes Since the barrel vault is made to size, the overall length and widht of the curb (roofing included) must be equal to the ordered size dimensions of the barrel vault. Look for the narrowest and widest spaces* and measure the min. and max.
Assembly sequence fixed and opening parts 1 Install the end profiles and lateral profiles. See first step in this manual (see further). 2 Then, install the reference profiles of the opening parts (see 4. opening part mounting instructions of the Cintramax opening parts). 3 Finish the fixed part as described further in this manual.
Assembly sequence for fixed parts 1. Installation of the end profile and lateral profile 2. Installation of the lower arches and inner sheets 3. Installation of the intermediate arch profiles and the spacer profiles 4. Installation of the outer sheets 5.

Install all lateral profiles on one side of the curb nicely in line (use the rope). We advise you NOT to position the seams of the lateral profiles opposite of the Cintramax opening parts. Make sure the seams are next to the opening parts to avoid incorrect alignment of the opening parts.
2. Installation of the lower arches and inner sheets In case there are Cintramax opening parts in the barrel vault: reference profiles Install the reference profiles of the opening parts first (see separate manual for the Cintramax opening parts). Finish the fixed part afterwards as described further in this manual.
3. Installation of the intermediate arches Install the intermediate arch above the lower arch, according to the image. Insert the M8x60 bolts in the pre-drilled holes in the lateral profile in the intermediate arch. Do not tighten the bolts yet. intermediate arch intermediate arch bolt M8x60...
5. Installation of the upper arches Make sure the lower profiles in the middle of the bottom side of the upper arch profile fit into the notch of the intermediate arch profile. Fix the upper arch profiles by hand with the stainless-steel bolts M6 or M8.
6. Tighten the bolts You can now tighten the bolts to fix the intermediate arches and the upper arches. M8x60 bolts 7. Installation of the outer end sheets Install a PVC tube on both sides between the lower arch and the intermediate arch. PVC tube intermediate arch PVC tube...

Install the entire 32 mm end sheet in the lowest end profile and mark the top side of the intermediate arch on the protective film. The UV side must face outwards. Mark until the ends of the lowest end profile for the correct sheet length.
Tighten the lateral arch (= upper arch with downward flange) with the uppermost end profile. Use the M8 x 60 mm bolts. Finish the 4 corners by installing the corner profile on the lowest and uppermost end profile (on the ends of the barrel vault): corner profile 8.
Fixing materials: use suitable fixing material depending on the surface and the load. If any doubt, contact the screw supplier or a specialised engineering firm. We supply fixing material that is suitable for most metal or wooden surfaces, but this needs to be checked before starting the installation. Skylux is not responsible for the fixing materials used.
