Vinyl Beam Assembly
Lay out two 94” beams (part 7) as shown. Align and fasten
mounting brackets to the pre-drilled holes on top of the beams
using the 3/4“ screws provided. cover the screw heads with
provided snap caps.
Using a helper and two ladders, proceed to complete the
following steps
Slide the vinyl beam with rafter clips pre-installed through
both holes of the vinyl column (overshooting), and then back
through both holes of the opposite column. Repeat for
opposite beam.
Please note:
The top of the vinyl columns may need to be tensioned in opposite
directions to each other to allow the beams and rafters to be
installed on a slight angle. The vinyl columns naturally allow for
some measure of flex.
Stop when the end of the beam measures 3” from the
outside edge of the post. Fasten both ends of the beam to
the posts as illustrated using four 4“ screws per post.
Cover the screw heads with provided snap caps.
Repeat step 2 for the remaining posts and bracketed beam.
