Never change the order of the steps to be performed. If any aspect of the assembly
procedure is unclear, please contact you’re the Canopy Shop. We reserve the right to make
technical changes without written notice.
•We normally recommend that the veranda must be assembled by at least two
people (qualified technicians/authorized installers) working together.
•Check the delivery immediately upon receipt. In the event of damage or an incomplete
delivery please contact The Canopy Shop immediately.
•The materials must be stored in a dry, ventilated area, not exposed to direct sunlight.

•Adding or removing parts, the use or installation of materials. other than described in this
manual, may adversely affect the safety of the veranda and is therefore strongly
discouraged!
•Cordon off the assembly location so that others are kept at a safe distance.
•Always place a ladder on a firm, stable surface.
•Always wear the correct protective clothing (work gloves, dust mask, safety glasses, shoes
with non-slip soles, etc.) during installation or servicing.
•Mount the system against a firm, flat wall and on a flat and stable foundation. Ensure that
the wall and the ground are clean and dry.
•Never stand on the polycarbonate sheets.
The polycarbonate sheets are strong, but insufficiently resistant to point loads. Do not walk
on them!
•Make sure all fasteners are properly tightened. Check this regularly.
•Make sure you have used sealant on the veranda so it is completely waterproof.
•You must maintain and clean your veranda at least once a year. During this yearly
maintenance make sure all fasteners are properly tightened.
•Dispose the product in accordance with local laws and regulations.
•When safety regulations and instructions are not followed correctly, The Canopy Shop

5.1 Conditions for assembly
•Note: The optimal processing temperature for the sealant is +5 °C to +40 °C.
Ground & façade
•A good flat stable surface is required for construction of the veranda.
•The location where the roof will be placed must be construction-ready and free of obstacles
(garden furniture, flower boxes, etc.) so installers can perform their work withouthindrance.
•Any obstacles, including utility lines (such as power cables, etc.), roots and debris, must have
been removed from the ground.
•The façade must be free of sun shades, etc.
•The place where the wall profile will be placed must be firm, even and flat.
Dimensions & slope
•This Ravenna Veranda roof should be installed with a slope of 15,7cm per metre.
The height of the wall profile and the passage height (distance from bottom of gutter to the
ground) are completely dependent on each other and determined by this slope.
•The maximum length of the roof is 4 metres. However, keep in mind the requirements
concerning the maximum free span and number of posts.
Posts & joined verandas
•Maximum distance between the posts is 4 metres.
•When verandas are joined, a post is always placed under the coupling.
•The rainwater discharge cannot be placed inside a post above which gutters are joined.
Attachments at walls
•Due to expansion of the materials, the veranda may not be placed tightly between two walls;
there must be a gap of 1.5 mm per metre of width of the veranda.
•When concrete bases are used the posts cannot be placed against the wall, because the
block is wider than the post.
•If you want to place a post against a wall, you must saw the flange off of one side and drill
two new holes in the flange so that you can secure the post in four places.
Screws and drilling
•We supply special 4.2x19 mm and 4.2x40 mm stainless steel screws with the veranda.
Note: Pre-drill a hole for each screw with a 3 mm drill bit!
If you continue to turn them after they are tight, the screw head may break off. It is
recommended that you screw carefully, with the torque limiter on your drill set properly.
•Note: Never drill and screw through the PVC rainwater discharge pipe in one of the posts.
5. Preparation for assembly

page 12
5.1 Conditions for assembly (continued)
Sealant
•We supply sealant in the colours RAL9001, RAL9016 and RAL7024. This supplied sealant has
been specially selected for the waterproof sealing of aluminium to aluminium or to most
common construction materials, such as walls, concrete, etc. Follow the instructions on the
tube.
•Note: This sealant is not suitable for sealing the polycarbonate sheets. If you need to seal
your sheets, because you have a rainwater discharge (downspout) pipe run through it for
example, we have special transparent sealant in our range.
Rubber seals
•A Ravenna veranda is standard equipped with pre-assembled, colour-matched rubber seals.
Before installation, the rubber seals for both the aluminium cover strips and the beams must
be cut to length.
•If the rubber seals are deformed, they can be straightened again with a little heat, from a hot
air heater or hair dryer for example.
Remove protective film
•It is recommended that the protective film be removed from the aluminium parts and the
roofing sheets at the last possible moment, to prevent damage. When mounting the roofing
sheets, however, the edges of the protective film must be pulled back a few centimetres
towards the middle of the sheet so the film does not get stuck in the profiles; otherwise it
will be difficult to remove later.
Warranty is void if the Ravenna veranda is not assembled and installed in accordance
with the instructions.

The Ravenna veranda is available in a large range of sizes. Moreover, the roof has a modular design
and can be quickly and easily made to size. However, please note that our current and future
modular options are based on standard sizes. If you do not install your roof using the standard sizes,
your options will also have to be adapted to size.
With the Ravenna veranda, you must cut the posts, the Grillo parts and the polycarbonate
sheet (optional for the side wall) to size.

5.3.1 Height adjustments
A Ravenna veranda is designed for a slope of 15,7 cm per metre. All the static strength calculations,
as well as all sizes and dimensions in this manual, are based on this. The height of the wall profile and
the passage height (distance from bottom of gutter to the ground) are completely dependent on
each other and determined by this slope. However, these heights can be adjusted very easily while
maintaining the slope. However, these heights are very easy to adjust while maintaining the slope.
o Please note that choosing a different height also affects the height of other parts.
If you are going to install your veranda based on the standard dimensions, you can use the
dimension table below.

5.4 Joining verandas
There is no limit to the width in which the Ravenna verandas can be delivered. This is because
the verandas can be joined end to end.
In this case the gutter profile, wall profile and decorative profile are supplied in multiple lengths of
4060, 5060, 6060 or 7060 mm.
The centre-to-centre distance between the beams of a Ravennaveranda is 1000 mm (1 metre).
A roof with five one-metre sections has a total width of 5060 mm. The extra 60 mm is the distance
from the centre of the beam to the outside of the beam, which is 30 mm; this extra width is at both
ends, for a total of 60 mm.
When standard size sheets are used, the total width of joined roofs must therefore also end with 60
mm, e.g. 8060, 9060, 10060, etc.
So if you have ordered a roof with a width of 9060 mm, the delivery will consist of one 5060 mm
gutter section and one 4060 mm gutter section. Together this is 9120 mm. You must ensure that the
width ends with xx60, so these profiles must be shorted by a total of 60 mm before installation. This
can be done by removing 30 mm from both sections: 5030 mm + 4030 mm = 9060 mm. You can also
choose to shorten one profile by 60 mm. 5060 mm + 4000 mm = 9060 mm.
This shortening applies to the wall profile, gutter profile and decorative profile.
After this shortening the further assembly is identical to that for a normal roof.

page 17
It is recommended that you join the gutter sections with the supplied gutter extension before
installation. The installation steps are shown below:
1. Clean and degrease the gutter
and the gutter extension.
4. Insert the second gutter ¼ of the
way into the other side of the
gutter extenstion and put sealant
on the edges.
2. Insert the gutter extension ¼ of
the way into the gutter and put
sealant on the inside edge.
5. Now press the second gutter
completely over the gutter
extension to form a seamless joint
3. Now press the gutter extension
further until it is half way into the
gutter.
6. The gutter extension can now be
secured with the short stainless steel
screws in the chamber of the gutter and
on the front side under the decorative
profile. Put sealant on the assembly so it
is smooth and waterproof!

6.1 Positioning and placement of theposts
Determine the positions of the posts and the optional concrete bases and the optional concrete bases with
rainwater drainage. The sizes shown in the drawing below are from the centre of the posts. Make sure the
positions are completely at right angles and make sure the height is level.
6. Assembly

page 19
6.1.1 Installing concrete bases
Place the concrete bases in the ground as accurately as possible. Make sure that the top of the concrete
base is placed at least 100mm below ground level, and place them level.
Connect the drain to the side outlet of the rainwater discharge concrete base.
6.1.2 Shorten the length of the posts.
Cut the posts to size before placing them.
If you are going to place your veranda according
to the standard sizes, you can use the sizes from
the table below.
If you choose to change the height the
Ravenna veranda, make sure that you cut off
the same amount of centimeters on all the
posts.
Use the image on the right and the below table
for the sizes and details.
Note: When shortening the posts, take into
account the depth of the concrete bases and the
footplate.
