Failure to properly install the base rails will cause the rest of the installation to be difficult or impossible Ensure that the base rails are the proper width apart lying flat and parallel to each other Check this by having the diagonal measurements equaling the same from inside corner to inside corner approximately 30 11 If the diagonal measurements are not the same then the base rails are not square and must be corrected fig 1 fig 1 PWS Premium Canopy 1 888 547 8797 Page 7 Option 2 Anchor to New Concrete Pier The second simplest method to anchor the canopy frame is to pour concrete piers Layout the base rails per the previous instruction see Positioning Base Rails page 7 and mark the locations where the Anchor Stake are to be located Remove the base rails and dig each hole a minimum of 24 or down to the frost line whichever is greater fig 2 Once the holes are dug fill with concrete replace the base rails over the holes and make the necessary measurements to ensure proper placement Insert the supplied rebar stakes into the wet concrete Double check the measure ments to ensure that the base rails are in the proper position Concrete should cure for 24 hours before canopy assembly fig 2 24 MIN DEPTH EXTEND BLW FROST LINE AS OCCURS Option 3 Anchor to Existing Concrete Slab 12 so MIN If you already have a level concrete slab you have the option of using2. 8797 Page 3 Parts List OT Double Sided Self Adhesive PWS Premium Canopy Sinker Screw Stitcher Screw Left Truss Half Truss Crown Insert Right Truss Half Truss Rafter i ye Eve End msn ois HH BR Bm Truss Face mig Column Insert Truss Cord Columns nl Roof Truss Assembly and Terminology 1 888 547 8797 Page 4 2 tH 9 N z z UO T oS ad iD DN o mM tH ze N rd DO DN o mM iD Ss S _ Base Rail Inserts Long base Rail Base rail assembly and Terminology Page 5 1 888 547 8797 PWS Premium Canopy Canopy Installation Its important to have the site ready for the installation of the canopy The frame is designed to be placed either onto a concrete foundation anchored with concrete piers or staked into the ground There is likely more than one way to properly anchor the canopy however we provide three different options Important If a concrete slab is to be poured preparing the ground by leveling and compacting may be necessary Make sure the area is level both side to side and front to back Failure to erect the structure on level ground may cause poor results in the installation process Make sure you have adequate room around the perimeter of the canopy to be able to move the ladders and handle the materials Base Rail Assembly Column stubs Long base Rail i Bi 1 DA Short base Rail
