COVER INSTALLATION (CONTINUED)
OPTIONAL MAIN COVER INSTALLATION WITH ROLL-
UP SIDES
Attach Poly Latch U-Channel
For a roll-up side application,
attaching the ribbon board to
the rafters and then attaching the poly-latch U-channel to
the ribbon board is recommended for the best results.
NOTE:
Ribbon board and baseboard (recommended)
shown in the diagram below
are not included
and are
supplied by the customer. A treated or recycled plastic 2'' x
4'' works well as a ribbon board.
1.
Attach the ribbon boards flush with the outside
edge of the end rafters at the height best suited for
the application. (The height depends on the roll-up
assembly.)
NOTE:
Attach U-channel to baseboard or to the ground
posts if no roll-up sides are desired.
2.
Attach the poly latch U-channel flush with the ends of
the ribbon board using Tek screws.

NOTE:
Maintain an even length along the side. The
final stretching of the cover takes place when the last
side is secured.
9. After securing the first side, move to the remaining side
and secure it in place.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT REMOVE TOO MUCH OF THE
EXCESS COVER MATERIAL AT EACH END.
Some
excess main cover material–the material that extends
beyond the end rafters–should remain in place. If the
main cover needs stretched in the future, remove the
spring from the U-channel, grasp the excess material,
pull the cover tight, and reinstall the spring.
