1. Now work out the height of the posts for the
standard 2 degree fall.
Take a measurement from foundation up to the
underside of the mounted receiver channel, let’s
call this dimension ‘x’. Then subtract 90 mm to
determine finished post height.
NOTE:
If height to underside of receiver channel is at
the maximum height, 3090 mm, do not trim
post. Instead go to step 3.
2. Take a post PT5 and mark all faces then safely
cut post to length. Consider sealing cut with
supplied paint.
3. Take a BK3 bracket and orientate as shown
and align so it’s flush with the end and side of
the post.
4. Fasten with five 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.
This completes the left post
5. Make the right post by repeating these steps
but aligning and fixing the BK3 bracket as shown
below.
This completes the right post.

The other end goes into the receiver channel and
requires some preparation.
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
Familiarize yourself with the weight and orientation
of the AD1 panel before lifting.
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
beam and insert into the receiver channel - all the
way to the right.
The steel ‘top skin’ edge will be flush with right
end of the receiver channel as shown.
2. Check the beam for alignment, the roof panel
bottom skin is to be flush with the exterior side of
the beam as shown.
3. For now fix the AD1 panel to the receiver panel
from below with two 4mm pop rivets FAST102.
Inset 150 mm from the right and another 300 mm
further along.
