END PANEL INSTALLATION
After the end wall framing is attached, the end wall panels
are installed.
The following procedure describes one way to install the
end panels. This procedure installs the panels so the
corrugated ribs run horizontally.
Complete these steps to install the end panels.
NOTE:
End panels overlap each other and are attached to
each frame member of the end wall and to the rafter.
Use Tek screws (#FA4482B) and washers (#102921) to
secure all polycarbonate panels to the framing
.
Both end walls are covered using 4' x 8' and
4' x 12'
panels for the end walls
.
Consult the Front and Back End
Panel Details diagrams in the Quick Start section of this
document.
1. Locate the vertical closure foam strips (104710),
remove the plastic film to expose the adhesive, and
attach the strips to the bottom frame member of the
end wall and to the outside edge of the end rafter.

Dashed lines show where to attach the vertical foam
closure strips (#104710). The solid lines show where to
install the horizontal closure strips (#104709).
NOTE:
The foam stripping regarding the arch of the
rafter is installed on the
end wall face of the rafter. It is
used to seal the edges of the end panels
.
2. Choose one 12' corrugated panel, set it in place to one
side of the rough door opening, and secure it to the end
wall frame tube in a few places.
DO NOT attach it along the edges at this time
.
All screws that hold the panels to the frame are spaced
at approximately 24" apart.
3. Take a section of the horizontal foam stripping (104709)
and install it under the edge of the end panel to seal
the edge along the door frame.
4. Install a Tek screw and washer to hold the panel and
foam seal in place.
ATTENTION:
DO NOT
install the screw near the top of
the end panel where the next panel will overlap.

5. Install the next bottom end panel and foam strip to the
end wall frame on the other side of the door.
6. After installing all bottom end panels on each side of
the door, secure the outside end panels to the rafter
using Tek screws and washers.
NOTE:
Do not completely secure the panels in place
until the next panel (moving up) is installed.
