1. Mounting Bracket Locations
For 16'-18' doors three mounting brackets will be used. Mark a line in the center above the door where the trellis is to be mounted. Mark two
more lines on either side of the center line at a distance of 96" (See diagram below). For 8'-9' doors two mounting brackets will be used. Mark
a line in the center above the door where the trellis is to be mounted. Mark two more lines on either side of the center line at a distance of
48". Determine the height that the beams are to be mounted above the door. The bottom edge of the angle bracket should be 1/8" below this
determined height. Mark each bracket location for reference later.
2. Angle Bracket Installation
A fastener with a diameter of at least a 5/16" should be used to attach the angle brackets to the mounting surface. Attach angle brackets
using the marks made in the previous step.
3. Preparing the Beams for Installation
Before installing the beams they must be cut to the proper lengths. Below is a chart showing the recommended beam lengths based on door
size. Measure each beam, 2 left side and 2 right side, and cut them to the length.
DOOR SIZE LEFT SIDE BEAM LENGTH RIGHT SIDE BEAM LENGTH
18' 142 1/2" 142 1/2"
16' 130 1/2" 130 1/2"
9' 136 1/2" 40 1/2"
8' 130 1/2" 34 1/2"
4. Drilling Holes in Beams
Position the U-shaped strap brackets on the ground centering each bracket at the same center location that the angle brackets were marked
in Step 1. Place all four beams into the U-shaped strap brackets as if they were going to be installed. The joint end of each beam should
split the U-shaped strap. After U-shaped strap brackets are properly located, clamps should be used to hold the U-shaped strap bracket in
place while drilling and marking. Using a 3 /
8
" diameter drill bit drill through the holes in the U-shaped strap brackets and into the beams as
far as possible. This can only be done on the face of the front beams and the rear of the back beams. Using the holes in the U-shaped strap
brackets, marks must be made on the inside of the beams as references. After all possible holes are drilled and all of the inside holes are
marked, the beams may be taken out of the U-shaped strap brackets. Use the marks made on the inside edges of the beams to drill through
the beams the rest of the way. The holes on the inside of the beams may have to be enlarged slightly for the holes to line up.
5. Mounting the Beams
Note: For 8’ - 9’ door kit, follow below procedure, omitting center U-shaped strap bracket.
A) (For the 16'-18' door kit) Using the
5 /

U-shaped strap brackets to the left side back beam. Do not completely tighten the nuts as this will allow for any adjustment required later.
B) This assembly can now be bolted to the angle brackets mounted in Step 2 using the 3 /
