OUTBACK® GABLE PATIO SUNROOF
The New Generation Outback® Gable Patio system has been designed and engineered to generate modern and versatile structures
that provide more design flexibility and increased spanning capabilities.
The New Generation Outback® Gable Patio system integrates new bracketry, new fixings, new design options and new accessories, to
produce the best gable patio product on the market today.
This product has been designed with D.I.Y in mind for ease of installation.
BEFORE YOU START
It is important to check your Local Government Authority requirements before the installation of your new Stratco Outback® Gable
Patio System.
It is the builder's responsibility to ensure any existing structure that an Outback® Gable Patio is being attached to is adequately
reinforced to accommodate the additional loads imposed by the verandah, patio or carport. Read these instructions thoroughly before
starting your project and refer to them constantly during each stage of construction. Contact Stratco for advice if you do not have the
necessary tools or information.
Carefully read these instructions, along with the 'Outback Gable Installation Guide'. Lay out the main components in order of
assembly on the ground and check them against the delivery note. The 'Components' section identifies each part of your Stratco
Outback Gable Sunroof Bank and shows the location of the components.
If you do not have all the necessary tools or information, contact Stratco for advice. Before starting lay out all components
and check them against the delivery docket. The parts description identifies additional gable parts, and the component layout
diagram indicates their fastening position.
