Whilst the next steps show you how to assemble your shower we
want to make sure you have a correct build to ensure you get a
trouble free shower. Therefore our advice is to follow the instruc-

build and you understand fully how the unit is assembled. When
we use the word “DRY RUN” this means you do not silicone any-
thing, just simply construct the shower, align, drill and screw every-
thing together. Once you are happy with the build take the unit
apart and carry out the final fix.
