ATTACHING THE PANELS
When setting the panels in position, remember to install
each panel with the UV-protected surface facing toward
the outside. Read the information printed on each panel.
The diagrams in the Quick Start section show frames
with installed sidewall panels. View these before
attaching the panels to determine the best way to align
the end panels with the sidewall panels if your building
is equipped with sidewall panels.
