Safety
Some parts may have sharp edges. It is
recommended to wear gloves when handling
items and safety glasses when drilling holes.
Sensible shoes are highly recommended.
Minimum two people are required to easily lift
and align assemblies.
Consider the weather and do not build in windy
conditions.
If the structure must be left for a period of time
uncompleted it must be made safe to prevent
damage.
TOOLS REQUIRED
Use as a guide, other tools/equipment may be suitable. Safely work within your ability.
Please wear recommended
PPE for any tool used during
construction
!
General
Read through these instructions in detail to gain
a thorough understanding of assembly methods
and associated details.

1. Take any post and a BK3 bracket.
Orientate the bracket as shown and align so it’s
flush with the end and side of the post.
2. Fasten using four FAST100 tek screws and
5/16” nut setter.
Make sure screws are inset 20 mm from the
edges of bracket for beam clearance.
To keep the parts aligned while fastening use a
clamp or visegrips.
3. Carefully roll the post to the side shown.
4. Take another BK3 bracket and align so it’s
flush with the end and side of the post as shown.
5. As before, fasten using four FAST100 tek
screws.
Make sure they’re inset 20 mm from the sides.
6. Repeat these steps for all posts.

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.

Low side beam
FITTING THE SHURELOCK BEAMS
NOTE: Beam orientation is important to prevent
water entry.
Orientate the beam so the exterior face has the
overlap to the top.
1. Safely lift and place a longer SB2 beam inside
the taller post brackets BK3 as shown.

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.
0. Remove the protective plastic coating from
the outside of the beam.

1. Place one Z flashing TR35 along the lower side
beam as pictured.
Align to be flush with the exterior of the beam.
2. Overhang the end of the beam by 125 mm.
3. Fasten flashing to top of beam with 4 evenly
spaced pop rivets FAST102.
4. Fasten the second Z flashing in the same
manner.

A. Check the foam core is flush with the top and
bottom skins. If it bulges out, safely trim flush with
a Stanley knife.
B. Check if the steel bottom skin corner is bent
down below the bottom face. Bend it up with
pliers.
C. To increase weather protection turn up the
pans 15 degrees with a turn up/down tool or
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.
2. Adjust so it’s butted up against the rear trim
and the side of the ‘top skin’ is flush with the end
of the flashing.

3. On the middle rib, fasten panel to low side
beam with a tek 14 x 125 mm FAST104.
Don’t over-tighten and crush the panel.
For further screw position detail see next page.
4. Check for consistent overhang along end beam
- adjust if required.
Fasten with a tek 14 x 125 mm FAST104 at the
midpoint of end beam - in the sheet pan.
5. On the middle rib, fasten to high side beam
with another a tek 14 x 125 mm FAST104.

FRONT & REAR FLASHING - HIGH SIDE TRIM
NOTE:
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.

- LOW SIDE TRIM
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.
3. On the side mark a line to join these points as
shown.
4. Take the flashing down off the roof and trim
using tinsnips (offcuts shown in grey).

1. Starting at the front end of the structure,
take one TR37 flashing and place over the front
flashing and roof panels as shown.
2. Take the second TR37 flashing and place
alongside, butted against the first & trim so it
finishes at the rear flashing.
3. Fasten with pop rivets FAST102 along the
underside are shown.
Fasten with tek screws with neoprene washers
FAST101 along the top.
To increase weather protection do the following.
A. Turn up pans of sheet 15 degrees using “Sheet
Metal Locking Pliers”
B. Installing foam gaskets RWG28 within 90mm
of the edge.
Some trimming may be required to fit at ends.
Apply silicone to the face that sits in the pan.
