L:\WP51\Instructions\SOLARIUMS INSTRUCTION BOOKS\W1207\ -187.W1207.GP.EN.REV5.doc SUN-HO-REV5 2
TOOLS REQUIRED:
•Screwdriver (Philips #2)
(supplied)
•Knife
•File (smooth)
•Needle-nosed pliers
•Rubber mallet
•Step ladder (minmum 6' in height)
•Spatula
•Power drill
•Drill bit 5/16" cement
(according to surface)
STEP #1
Make sure that deck or floor is level and not slanted more than 1" per 8'. Decide the position of the door
frames before assembly according to where you intend to slide the door. At the front of the solarium, use
frame D3 for the opening of the door and B3 for the direction of the door when open. Use E3 between frame
ends and use two (2) K3 joints for corners.
NOTE:
When placing the door frame opening,
make sure the inserts on the frame are
on the inside and on the upper half of
the frame of the solarium because the
door will be set on the inside due to
clearance.
NOTE:
When sliding the connectors, shake the
frame so that they will slide easily. Do
not use tools to force. If needed, clean
the paint with a file and make sure the
ends of the frame and joints are not bent
or warped. If so, use the needle-nosed
pliers to straighten.
STEP #2
Slide the vertical guides Vv-3 left and Ww-3 right into the 2 ends of the frames along the grooves, shaking
while sliding for easier movement. Next, slide two (2) Yy-3 and one (1) Zz-3 from left side to right on top of
the frame. The groove should be towards the interior of the unit. Repeat from right side with two (2) YY-3
and one (1) Zz-3 and space evenly.
YOU WILL NEED:
Tube of silicon

ASSEMBLE PIECES
BEFORE SCREWING
THEM TO THE WALL
STEP #4
Set polycarbonate exposed side on the outside over horizontal left guide I-3, use one (1) Rr-3 panel, one (1)
P-3 joint and one (1) Ss-3 panel, then do the right side with one (1) Tt-3 panel, one (1) Q-3 joint and one (1)
Uu-3 panel over the J-3 horizontal panel. Secure P-3 and Q-3 to I-3 and J-3 respectively with self-tapping
screws.
NOTE:
Once the wall track is in place,
apply silicon along the top of the
wall track and at the joint of the
two tracks. Silicon is not
supplied.
STEP #3
Assemble ML-3, N-3, O-3, and MR-3 as shown
and position evenly above vertical guides. Secure
wall track and vertical tracks to brick or cement
wall by drilling through the aluminum and using
screws Xx-3. Insert the 2 horizontal guides, I3 & J3
at the top of the frame. Make sure the 2 frames
are at the correct level, if not, use shims to
compensate. Do not use tools to force.

STEP #5
Set right rafter T-3 over last bracket
then secure it with Bb-3 screw and
continue screwing through joint K-3
with the Bb-3 screw. Secure to Q-3
bracket with self-tapping screw.
Repeat on left side with rafter S-3.
STEP #6
Set U-3 rafters over the middle of each
panel with Bb-3 screws at the top and
two (2) Z-3 screws over the brackets
on frame manually. Set U-3 rafter on
each joint and use Z-3 screws
manually. Do not use power drill.

L:\WP51\Instructions\SOLARIUMS INSTRUCTION BOOKS\W1207\ -187.W1207.GP.EN.REV5.doc SUN-HO-REV5 5
STEP #7
Remove protective film from two (2) sides of each panel and make sure the top side of the panel faces the
sunlight. Insert and slide on the top groove of the rafters all the way to the end. Pp-3 should go first and last with
the Qq-3 panels in between.
STEP #8
Insert the aluminum middle roof joint between the rafters, making sure the slotted holes are at the bottom. Slide
into upper and lower grooves of the rafters then slide all the way into the panels. Make sure the panels are inside
the aluminum middle roof joint groove. Insert a V-3 at either end, then insert all W-3 and then the remaining V-3.
Tap gently with rubber mallet if needed.

L:\WP51\Instructions\SOLARIUMS INSTRUCTION BOOKS\W1207\ -187.W1207.GP.EN.REV5.doc SUN-HO-REV5 6
STEP #9
Insert the second row of panels into the lower groove on the rafter. Slide panels until they reach the aluminum
pieces between the panels and gently tap on the panel to guide it into the aluminum groove. Use a spatula if
needed to make it fit. Insert two (2) Pp-3 on either end, then insert the Qq-3 panels.
STEP #10
Starting at either end, add X-3 edging and one (1) R-3 bracket and screw with Bb-3 manually, do not use power
drill. Add Y-3 edging and repeat until you reach the end, then add the X-3 edging.

STEP #11
On the inside of the solarium under each rafter there are two rows of inserts with threads. Start the upper row
with a Jj-3 at either end and screw it with Ff3 and in between the Kk-3 panels. Use Ff-3 screws at the lower row
Ll-3 at the 2 ends then the others in between the Mm-3 panels. Make sure screws are manually tight.
STEP #12
DOOR UNIT(S) MUST BE
ASSEMBLED INSIDE OF
SOLARIUM.
Slide upper door track F-3 into
wheels of sliding door C-3. Slide
lower door track G-3 and make
sure inserts are close enough to
the frame to attach. Use bolt
Bb-3 to affix the plastic stopper
H-3 on each end of top door rail
F-3. Use Oo-3 screws to affix
upper door rail and cap Nn-3, at
each end of top rail door.
