Repeat the steps and continue to assemble and feed the PVC conduit into
3.
the pocket.
Once the PVC conduit is fully assembled, secured at the joints, and inserted
4.
into the pocket, repeat the steps for the remaining end of the main cover.
With both PVC conduits installed, verify that the cover is centered on the
5.
frame (side-to-side and end-to-end) and move to one end rafter.
Take rope or strap and cut a few sections long enough to tie the PVC
6.
conduit to the end rafter in a few evenly spaced locations. See example in
the photo below.
Photo shows temporary
straps tied between the
PVC conduit and the end
rafter to keep the main
cover centered on the
frame as the strapping at
the other end of the frame
is installed.
Cover used for illustration
only. Actual cover may
differ from what is shown.
INSTALL PVC CONDUIT (CONTINUED)
Move to the end of the frame opposite the end where the temporary straps
7.
were tied, take one end of the bulk roll of 1" strapping, and weave it around
the end rafter and PVC conduit.
Continue weaving the strap around the end rafter and PVC conduit working
8.
up and over the rafter and down to the other end of the PVC conduit.
NOTE:
Keep the strapping snug during this step, but do not over tighten.
Also, maintain a even distance between the end rafter and the PVC conduit.
Photo shows how to weave strap around the conduit inside
the main cover pocket and the end rafter. (Cover and rafter
shown differ from actual cover.) Distance between the
conduit in the pocket and the end rafter is even.
After weaving the strapping, cut the strap and tie it to the end rafter to
9.
temporarily secure it.
Take the remainder of the bulk strap roll, move to the other end of the
10.
frame, and repeat the steps to weave the strap between the PVC conduit
and the top of the end rafter.
NOTE:
The temporary rope or straps at this end can be removed once the
main strapping is in place.
After the strap is completely installed at this end, cut the strap to length and
11.
tie it to the end rafter.
