POST LOCATIONS
ANCHORING
Use a chalk line, or equivalent, to mark nominal
outside dimensions onto foundation.
The diagonal measurement will confirm
squareness.
NOTE: Make the decision which side the gutter
will go.
For illustrative purposes the gutter will on the
right side for the rest of this manual.
Drill the holes for the anchors using the post
baseplate as a template.
Use a hammer drill with a 12mm diameter
masonry drill bit drill to a depth of 100mm
Fasten to foundations with four concrete screws
FAST103 per post using a 16mm socket.
NOTE: Uneven foundations will cause posts to
pull away from vertical.
Position posts in the corners.
• Shorter PT3 posts to the gutter side.
• Taller posts PT4 to the other side.
• Make sure the faces with the brackets are all
inward.
These internal dimensions can be used to
confirm alignment.

4. Safely lift and place the first shorter beam SB1
inside the post brackets BK3 as shown.
5. Make sure the ends of the beam are as far
as they can go into the brackets, there will be a
small gap at the high-side due to angle.
Fasten each end with four FAST100 tek screws
as before.
6. Repeat these steps for the last SB1 beam
2. Make sure the ends of the beam are all the
way into the brackets and fasten each end with
four FAST100 tek screws.
These are visible screws so take time to position
them on the centreline of the BK3 bracket and
inset equally from the top and bottom.
3. Repeat these steps for the other long beam
SB2 before proceeding to step 4.
On the exterior side of the beam that will get the
gutter, only put in the lower teks for now.

equivalent as shown. (Non gutter end only)
Familiarize yourself with the weight and orientation
of the AD1 panel before lifting.
The panel end with ‘top skin’ overhang & sticker
must go to the low side beam.
The ‘bottom skin’ has a protective plastic coating,
this can be peeled off just before lifting.
Remember to lift and place do not slide, this can
scratch the panel.
1. Safely position the first panel on top of the
frame - all the way to the end shown.
The steel ‘top skin’ will sit over the rear flashing.

Leave the protective plastic on TR36 flashing until
fastening, It’s good to mark on.
Do one TR36 as pictured - the other TR36 is the
same but ‘mirrored’.
1. Mark out and cut away 15mm from the top
and bottom sides using tinsnips (offcuts shown in
grey).
2. You’ll be left with a tab as shown. Use “Sheet
Metal Locking Pliers” to easily fold it 90 degrees.
3. Check fit by placing flashing along the edge of
roof panel.
• Bent tab hard up against end.
• Top face sits on two sheet ribs.
• Bottom face covers the Z flashing.

0. TR36 flashing will overhang roof panel at the
rear and we’ll need to trim to make the gutter fit
later.
NOTE: If the flashing is the same length as the
roof panel you don’t need to trim the top.
1. Mark off where ‘top skin’ end is against the top
side of the TR36 flashing.
Then continue 30mm down the side.
2. Mark off where the rear ‘Z’ flashing is against
the bottom side of the flashing.
Then continue 40mm up the side.

GUTTERING
8. The gutter needs fall to drive water to a specific
end. At the end you’d like the downpipe, mark
the underside of the gutter onto the beam.
This will be used as a reference when mounting
the gutter brackets RWG24.
Take the gutter down for now.
9. At the other end measure up another 10mm
from this reference line and make another mark
onto the beam at the point shown.
10. Take a string line and make a line from the
high to low point.
11. Align the bottom of the gutter bracket with
the marks and fasten to rear beam using rivets
FAST102.
• Place middle bracket at centre panel join.
• From there align with every 4th pan as shown.
12. Lift the gutter assembly and placed the rolled
top edge over the gutter bracket in the orientation
shown.
Roll the gutter around, make sure the front and
rear flashings go inside.
13. Lift so the bottom sits on the lower part of the
bracket.
Fold the tabs down by hand then rivet from below
as shown.
14. Rivet the gutter end stop to the front and rear
flashing.
