To make the roof erection easier it better to build the aluminium section of the frame on the floor then lift it onto the porch after its built. Once built you can lift the roof onto the window frames and use the roof as a guide to mark out where you flashing will need to be fixed.

Do not forget the lower sides of the roof bars have plastic covers which need to go on before you bolt the roof together.

You will need some help to lift the roof into place on top of the frames once its on top of the frames you need to line up the inner side of the ring beam with the inner face of the frames.The roof is fixed by screwing up through the frames into the bottom of the ring beam.

You can add the polycarbonate sheets to the roof you need to start with any square sheets you can glaze the square sheets however if you have any sheets which meet a hip corner bar the top cap does not go on the roof until the hip corner bar cap is fixed.

Place the sheet into place and push it up in to the ridge section ensure a gap is left both sides of the sheet to allow for expansion.

Add the sheet closure to the bottom of the sheet please note the sheet closures for angled sheets will not be cut to size. Line the plastic cap up with the bar below as shown then tap the cap into place.

Add the next section of polycarbonate then add the mid section top cap as shown. Top caps can only be added where they meet the flat ridge the top caps that meet the hip bar go on after the hip bar cap. These caps are supplied over sized puch the cap down and fix a small section onf the cap then tap on the bottom of the trim to push it up tight to the ridge. Tap the whole cap down in to place then cut to size.

The hip closure will be supplied over sized you need to add the sheet closure to the sheet hold in it place on the roof. Mark the angle of the roof and cut as shown in the more information page. We do this because the roof panels and the sheet closures come from different factories.

Next fit the hip cap as shown the hip caps are similer to the mid caps except they are taller. The hip caps are shorter then the roof hip bar so line up the bottom end of the cap with the roof bar as shown.

The top caps that meet the hip bar cap can now be fitted. Start by tapping the top of the cap into place by the hip cap. Tap the top 6 inches or so down in to place then tap the bottom of the cap to push the cap up tight to the hip bar.

The gap between the top of the hip bars and the ridge is filled with two sections of foam the front section goes in first and the back section completes the gap behind.

Fix the front of the ridge cap with the push in rivets then slide in the finial followed by the cresting the add the rear cap and finish by pushing in the final rivets. Its better to do this on the ground then lift the hole ridge into place.

Lift the ridge into place note we have left one section of polycarbonate out to make access a little easier. Line the cap up with the groves then use your hand to tap into place until its tight. Once the cap is into place fix the final polycarbonate panel.

Once the last sheet of polycarbonate goes in fix your bar end caps into place and cover the screws with the plugs.

With all the end caps in place you can now add the gutter brackets. The gutter brackets will be inside the guter clip the top of the bracket into place then pull down on the support arm until the bracket clips into place. Brackets need to be approx 800mm a part.

The guttering pushes up onto the brackets line the gutter up then push up with your hands until the gutter clips in. Repeat this on all the sides of the porch.

Next push the gutter angle and end caps up into place and clip in one side will have an outlet the outlet should not be used where it will clash with opening windows.

To complete the guttering you now need to add the gutter trims these fit into the gap below the guttering start with your corner trims and end trims.

Next fit the internal ridge cap line up the plugs with the holes and tap into place with your hand.

The internal trims now need to go on do not forget to add the internal coner section before fitting the trims. Start on one side the work aorung the ring beam.
