Glazing bars
Measure 100mm from either end of the glazing bar (fig.1) and using the 5mm drill bit supplied, drill the
first hole by using the central groove in the base of the glazing bar as a guide and drilling through as
shown (fig. 2). Using the Panel length table, now measure along the glazing bar the appropriate length
from the centre point of the first hole and continue to add the remaining holes in the glazing bar in this
manner. The final hole should be approximately 100mm from the opposing end of the glazing bar.

Polycarbonate panels
Two of the roof panels will be fitted as a “mirror”pair with holes down one edge to allow them to be
fixed to the outer rafters. Lay out 2 panels with the UV coated side uppermost and the aluminium tape
on both panels at the same end (fig. 1). Start by placing a piece of scrap timber under the area to be
drilled. Now drill the first hole 100mm from either end of one the panels and 17mm from the edge
(fig.2) using the 5mm drill bit supplied. Using the Panel length table (page 4), now measure along the
panel the appropriate length from the centre point of the first hole, move the scrap timber into position
and continue to add the remaining holes, 17mm from the edge of the panel as before. The final hole
should be approximately 100mm from the opposing end of the panel. Repeat the drilling process for the
second panel, this time drilling the opposing edge as shown (fig 1). We recommend any protective film is
not removed until you are ready to install the panel.
