1. The concrete base should be 6” thick x 14” longer than enclosure ID x 14” wider than enclosure ID.
A. Mark the concrete base for the outside of the enclosure (3” wider than ID and 3” longer than ID).
2. The PVC masking film will help to protect the finish of the metal panels during installation. These
coatings should be left intact and removed only after assembly of the enclosure is complete.
A. Stand both sets of “A1” & “A2” panels firmly together. Fasten the panels together through the holes
provided on the inside of the panels using hex headed screws. Make sure the panels are pulled tightly
together before tightening the screws. (For best results, insert a bead of silicone caulk into the inside
bend of the “A1” panel flanges.)
B. Assemble each “B-A1-A2-B” (side-end-side) assembly through the holes provided using hex headed

screws. Set them on the marked concrete base (Fig. 2). (For best results, insert a bead of silicone caulk
into the inside bend of the “A#” panel corners.)
3. Inspect the alignment of the “C” (access) panels during the assembly process. Verify that their
removal and replacement allows adequate space and positioning within the openings and with the
adjacent panels prior to attaching any bracket to the concrete.
NOTE: model sizes and configurations vary, see the chart.
4. Set a “D1” (roof) panel on a “B-A1-A2-B” (side-end-side) assembly. Fasten the “D1” (roof) panel to
the “B-A1-A2-B” (side-end-side) assembly through the holes provided (Fig. 1) using three (3) hex
headed screws.
A. Insert an Inside Roof Clip into the “D1” (roof) panel at the “A2” panel stud (Fig. 1C). Attach the clip to
the “A2” panel stud as shown using one (1) hex headed screw.
B. Repeat 4 and 4A for the other “D1” (roof) panel and “B-A1-A2-B” (side-end-side) assembly.

5. Set the “C” (access) panels and the “F” (support) posts in place with about a 3/16” gap on each side of
the “C” panels as the roof is assembled.
A. Position the “D2” and “D3” (roof) middle panels (Fig. 3) between the “D1” (roof) end panels and set
them in place. On the inside, place Inner Roof Connection Brackets under the “D#-D#” 2x6 panel
connections. Fasten the Inner Roof Connection Brackets into place (Fig. 1E) using hex headed screws.
Note that one of the Inner Roof Connection Brackets has tabs that will connect to the “F” (support) posts
in the middle later.
6. Attach an Outside Corner Anchoring Bracket to an “A#-B” (corner) assembly (Fig. 1A) using two (2)
hex headed screws. Fasten the bracket to the concrete using one (1) anchor. Fasten one (1) Outside
Corner Anchoring Bracket at both “A#-B” (corner) assemblies on one side.
A. Attach Inside Anchoring Brackets to the “B” (side) panels at the bottom, inside at the concrete (Fig. 1B)
using two (2) hex headed screws per bracket. Fasten them to the concrete using one (1) anchor per
bracket. Fasten Inside Anchoring Brackets to the “B” panels and concrete along one side of the
enclosure.
B. Insert Inside Roof Clips into the “D1” (roof) panels at the “B” (side) panel studs (Fig. 1C). Attach the
clips to the “B” panels using one (1) hex headed screw per clip. Fasten Inside Roof Clips to the “B” and
“D1” panels along one side of the enclosure.
C. Repeat Steps 6, 6A and 6B on the other side and end of the enclosure.
7. With the “F” (support) posts properly positioned in the spaces between the “C” (access) panels (see
Step 5), install Inside Anchoring Brackets (Fig. 1B) at the bottom of the “F” (support) posts.
A. Attach the “F” (support) posts studs to the Inner Roof Connection Bracket tabs using hex headed screws.
8. Install Roof Cover Plates on the “D1-D2” roof seams (Fig. 1D) using two (2) hex headed screws per
plate.
9. Provide a ground-fault interrupter device in all electrical circuits per all applicable codes. Install the
heater(s) as per the manufacturer’s instructions and governing local and national codes.
10. For maximum protection, it is suggested that the area between the bottom of the enclosure and the
concrete base should be caulked except for the “C” panels. DO NOT CAULK THE BOTTOM OF
THE “C” PANELS.
11. REMOVE THE PVC MASKING FILM IMMEDIATELY AFTER INSTALLATION. If the panels
get wet with the masking film in place, water will irreversibly stain the panels. Summertime heat will
bake the masking film onto the panels.
