• Mark position of each Supporting
Post (Use the graph above).
• Dig holes for each Supporting Post.
• These holes should be a minimum of
300mm square & 500mm deep.
Depending on grounds conditions you may
need to dig deeper untill secure ground is
reached.
• Pour concrete mix into each hole to a
depth of 100mm to provide footing
for Supporting Post Feet.
Do not overwater as the mix needs to start
‘skinning over’ as soon as possible so the
legs to not sink when you stand them on the
concrete.
Note: Concrete mix should ideally be:
• 1 part cement: 3.5 parts sand : 2.5 parts
course aggregate.
If using combined aggregate the mix should be:
• 1 part cement: 5 parts combined aggregate.

9. Fit the sheet closure bars to the roof panels (at the gutter end)
• Make sure there is a breather gap
between the end of the roof sheet and
the ‘end sheet closure’ of roughly
8mm (purple arrow).
• Run silicone along the top edge of the
sheet closure where it meets the top
of the roof panel to stop water ingress
(Yellow arrow).
o CLEAR AS GLASS DOES
NOT USE THESE

• Check the positions of the main
glazing bars
If you cut a measuring block earlier for the
edge glazing bars use this to get the correct
distance from the gutter. If not use a tape
measure.
• Secure the main glazing bars in
position by drilling the first of 2 holes
and inserting that screw then repeat
for the second hole and screw.
If you do not follow the above and try to
drill both holes first you could snap the
screw.
11. Secure post feet in the foundations & Make rain drainage holes in the legs.
• Pour Concrete mix into Supporting
Post Holes covering the Supporting
Post Feet with recommended 300mm
cube of concrete.
• Make the surface good.
• Once installation is complete and the
ground has been made good around
support posts.
• Cut the rainwater drainage holes in
Supporting Post(s).
Make sure that the hole is on the correct face
of the Supporting Post(s) so that the
rainwater flows out of the hole in the correct
direction.
This hole(s) should be drilled as close as
possible to the ground level
This Final Step only applies if you have more than one gutter section
