1) Please read all instructions and notes carefully. Check the Parts List or Bill of Materials for
any missing parts and gather necessary tools. To prevent scratching of painted materials,
place on a tarp, paper, or other protective material.
2) You may be required to obtain a building permit for this structure from your local building
authority. Contact your local building department for details.
3) Note that this shade structure is not designed to carry additional loads such as hanging
heavy plants, swings, people, or other objects.
Saftey Glasses, Tape Measure, Carpenters Level, Framing Square, Hex Head Nut Drivers,
Chalk Line, Electric Drill w/ Bits, Pliers, Metal Hack Saw, Silicone Caulking,
Regular and Phillips Screw Drivers
We recommend lowering the speed of your drill during this installation. Installing Tek screws
at a high rpm may cause the Tek screws to become damaged or break during installation.
The center to center of roof panel lock spacing MUST be maintained as the panels are
installed. If this is not done, problems may not show up until towards the end of installation
when parts may appear to be cut too short or too long. If this happens, go back and check the
spacing and re-set if necessary. The spacing is 24" for the W shaped panel, 10" for the
V shaped panel, and 8" or 18" for the flat panel.
We strongly recommend using a high grade sealant, such as our 100% Silicone Caulk and Sealant.
Caulking should be applied uniformly without skips. A poor caulking job can cause leaks.
Cutting and drilling will cause metal shavings. These shavings must be carefully removed by
sweeping or brushing. If this is not done, the metal shavings will quickly rust and stain the
surface finish.
