9. Next, move to the remaining side, stretch the cover,
and secure it in place. Pull the cover tight as the
spring and insert spring into u-channel.
10. Trim excess cover material if desired.
ATTENTION:
Allow some material to remain. This
allows easier stretching of the cover in the event that
the material relaxes after it is installed.
11. Read care and maintenance information near the
beginning of this guide.
INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
5. Once main cover is in place and centered, begin at
the peak of one end and install the 102198 wire spring
into the channel.
ATTENTION:
Ensure that enough cover material is
present to lock into the end rafter channel. Typically,
the cover material is cut longer/wider than required
to cover the building. For easier anchoring, allow
approximately 10" to extend past the edge of the end
rafter as the cover is anchored. Remove the ropes
after the cover is secure.
6. Continue down both edges of first end rafter until main
cover is secured to the first end rafter.
7. Move to the other end, pull cover tight, and repeat
steps to secure cover in end rafter channel.
8. After securing cover end-to-end, move to one side
and install the 102198 spring in the side u-channel.
NOTE:
Begin at one end of channel and work toward
the other. Maintain an even length working along the
side. Final stretching of cover takes place when last
side is secured.
