Before assembly

1. Select a site: The product must be positioned and fixed on a flat level surface.
2. We strongly recommend this product be secured directly to a solid foundation.
3. This is a multi-part assembly; it is best achieved by two people. Allow at least half a day for the assembly process.
4. Take all components and parts out of the packages. Sort the parts and check against the parts list.
5. Parts should be laid out close at hand. Keep all small parts (screws, etc.) in a bowl so they do not get lost.
6. Review all instructions before starting. Carry out the assembly steps in the exact order.
7. Consult local authorities if any permits are required prior to building the product.

During assembly

• You may use silicone lubricant spray on the frame to help you slide the panels into the profiles.
• Do not spray the Polycarbonate panels.
• Use a rubber mallet if necessary.
• Ensure you install the panels with the UV protected side out (marked with "THIS SIDE OUT") and remove the plastic stickers once the panels are in place.
• Do not tighten screws (8192 & 466) more than 2-3 turns until panel assembly is complete.

Important assembly steps

• Steps 3-12: It is recommended to use a carton or other soft material under the lowered corner in order to avoid scratches and peeling of paint.
• Step 10: Optional: If you wish to add Palram Canopia's Curtains or Netting Set, please thread the plastic clips through the rail in each profile.
• Steps 11a+13a: Please note that threading of the screws should be done from the outside.
• Steps 12+14: Please note that threading of the screws should be made from the bottom up.
• Step 15a: Please add silicone on the inner area of part #8327 as illustrated.
• Step 21a: Please drill holes in the panels to be located precisely parallel to the holes in profiles #9249.
• Step 22: Please level the profile's legs and adapt screws and plugs to your specific ground type.

Care and maintenance

When your product needs to be cleaned, use a mild detergent solution and rinse with cold clean water. DO NOT use acetone, abrasive cleaners, or other special detergents to clean the panels. Clean the product once assembly is complete.
