1. Positioning Base Rails Its critical that the base rails are properly oriented when anchored Failure to properly install the base rails will cause the rest of the installation to be difficult or impossible Ensure that the base rails are the proper width apart lying flat and parallel to each other Check this by having the diagonal measurements equaling the same from inside corner to inside corner approximately 27 11 1 4 If the diagonal measurements are not the same then the base rails are not square and must be corrected fig 1 fig 1 PWS Premier Canopies 1 888 547 8797 Page 7 Option 2 Anchoring to New Concrete Pier The second simplest method to anchor the canopy frame is to pour concrete piers Layout the base rails per the previous instruction see Positioning Base Rails page 7 and mark the locations where the Anchor Stake are to be located Remove the base rails and dig each hole a minimum of 24 or down to the frost line whichever is greater fig 2 Once the holes are dug fill with concrete replace the base rails over the holes and make the necessary measurements to ensure proper placement Insert the supplied rebar stakes into the wet concrete Double check the measure ments to ensure that the base rails are in the proper position Concrete should cure for 24 hours before canopy assembly fig 2 24 MIN DEPTH EXTEND BLW FROST LINE AS OCCURS Option 3 Anchoring to2. However you can drill the remaining sinker screw through the top purlin where the rake trim pieces come together photo 34 Step 4 Just as the left piece make sure it is square and straight before attaching The right side rake trim piece is cut such that it makes a vertical seam in the front for aesthetics photo 35 The top flap is meant to fold over the left piece making it such that water cant get in as easily It may be necessary to manipulate the flap so that it fits well Attach the right trim piece according to the same instruc tions in previous steps 1 through 3 Step 5 The last stitcher screw goes through both rake trim pieces and into the middle high rib of the end gable sheet photo 36 Each rake piece should have a total of 8 screws holding it down Step 6 Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the other end of the canopy 1 888 547 8797 Page 18 Note The ridge cap attaches in two pieces Be careful while handling they can buckle which will leave an undesirable crease Step 1 Begin by laying the first ridge cap starting from the back Align the ridge cap end even with the outside face of the rake trim photo 37 Using color matched stitcher screws attach through the edges of the ridge cap into the rake trim on both sides Align the other end of the ridge cap with the center of roof ridge Do not attach at this time Step 2 Repeat step 1 for the front trim overlapping the back ridge in the middle Now

4. Existing Concrete Slab 12 so MN If you already have a level concrete slab you have the option of using wedge anchors not provided to anchor directly to the concrete slab Layout the base rails per the previous instruction and mark the locations where the anchors are to be located Using the hammer drill and 1 2 x 8 concrete bit drill a minimum of 3 1 2 into the concrete slab for each anchor location photo 1 Be aware that the vibration from the drill could move the base rail be sure to double check that it is in the proper location prior to drilling the next hole Once the holes are drilled verify that they are deep enough before installing the wedge anchors fig 3 Follow the anchors installation instructions Be mindful not to overtighten the bolt and crush the base rail tube 1 2 x 5 1 2 Wedge Anchor 3 Minimum Embedment Base rail photo 1 a fig 3 le SS 53 o AIN PWS Premier Canopies 1 888 547 8797 Page 8 Frame Assembly photo 4 Truss Face Truss Cord Cord Insert Roof Truss Assembly Step 1 Verify the placement of the Base rail assemblys for squareness and correct rail separation Tip Laying the truss components at least 8 feet in front of the Base rails will help simplify the ease of assembly Step 2 In preparation for assembly stack all the truss halves eparating them half on left and half on right Using dimensions in fig 4 page 10 measuring from th

6. sheet metal should sit down into the bottom of the J trim Check that J trim is even with bottom of rafter cord as well as rela tively flush with the top edges of the rafter before attaching Note Each sheet to the left of the center will slip under the previous sheet Sheets to the right of center will over lap the previous sheet Due to variations in cutting the sheets may be somewhat irregular however this irregularity will be covered by the rake trim Just as in the roof sheet metal use stitcher screws on the high ribs where it is a sheet metal to sheet metal Use sinker screws where you screw into the rafter The diagram on page 17 shows where to fasten the gable pieces fig 10 In order to hide the bottom screws try to screw down as low as possible in the J trim without marring its paint finish photo 29 Make sure the screws are down far enough so that they are going into the cord of the rafter a bit driver extension will make this easier to do y METAL BUNDI AGA Step 3 Repeat steps 1 amp 2 for the other end of the canopy photo 29 PWS Premier Canopies 1 888 547 8797 Page 16 Dee TR IN A wa A Cr ISA TU ri oi Step 1 Locate the left side uncut Rake trim and position it as shown in photo 30 If the roof sheet was fastened in the correct location the top edge should line up directly in the middle of the peak and the bottom
