AS&D IMPORTANT NOTE

• Consult your local building department for any required permits. You may be required to obtain a building permit for this structure.
• Patio cover design and engineering do not allow for bearing any additional loads (for example: hanging plants, swings, people, trellises or other objects).
• American Structures and Design is not responsible for replacing parts lost or damaged due to incorrect assembly.
• All points of attachment to existing structures (such as house or patio) must be to solid, structurally sound, and secure material. Example: wood or metal studs, joists, headers, plates, or sills. Additional engineering may be required if surface you are attaching to is not included in the engineering report.

Note: Failure to properly attach and anchor unit per engineering requirements to existing structure may result in damage to the unit, damage to the structure it is attached to, and could cause serious bodily injury.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Check the Sales Order paperwork for any missing parts. Also, make sure that you have the correct quantities and sizes of components and hardware. If you find anything missing, please contact AS&D within two business days of receipt of materials.
Before beginning installation, make sure you read each step carefully.

• Clear work area of all obstacles prior to beginning installation.
• To prevent damage to material finishes, place patio components on protective surface (for example, on soft grass, etc).
• Have all the necessary tools and equipment. A list can be found on page 2.

PATIO COVER DO'S

DO follow the instructions in this guide.
DO check local building regulations before you begin.
DO use only fasteners per the engineering requirements.
DO store all materials indoors, under cover or keep them in a cool and protected environment until installation.

PATIO COVER DONT'S

DON'T proceed without reading this guide.
DON'T assume that any structure will meet local regulations without checking.
DON'T substitute with fasteners that do not meet engineering requirements.
DON'T store materials which have protective film (such as PolyPanel or Insulated Panel) in direct sunlight. Expansion prior to installation can cause installation difficulties.

Required Tools

Required Hardware

Attachment Types

1A,1B,1C - Patio covers are mounted to the structure in multiple ways. Always refer to AS&D Engineering documentation. Contact your local representative for detailed information.

Preparation

Lay out hanger rail, hanger, and gutter extrusions on the ground in the same direction as they will be installed on the house.

3A. Install hanger tape to the inside of the hanger between the top and bottom flange.

3B. Slide the hanger rail onto the hanger until they align on each end.

3C. Starting on the LEFT, mark the top flange of hanger as per your roof type: 12" o.c. for V-Pan and PolyPanel 6" o.c. for Flat Pan

4A. Starting at the left end of the gutter, mark the top flange according to panel type.

4B. Using a razor knife, modify the gutter dam to snugly fit inside the gutter. Apply a generous bead of caulk around the gutter dam and the gutter. Spread evenly for a watertight fit.

Hanger and Rail Installation

5A. Starting on the LEFT side of desired attachment point, determine and mark the appropriate height.
5B. Using a leveling tool or chalk line, mark the width of the cover on the attachment wall.
Note: Cover must slope a minimum of 1/2" per foot.

Important Note: Customer is responsible for determining required lag screw length based on siding type.
Attach hanger rail using Hex Lag Screws 3/8” x 3”, 4”, or 5” (Part No.: FS-3/8X HEXLAG-18-8) @ 16" o.c. with a minimum of 3" penetration into wall studs.
Note:
• Ensure fasteners are fully secured into stud framing.
• [For additional attachment options, see engineering pages S4.4]

Rain Flashing Installation

Depending on your site conditions, there are three different ways to secure flashing.

Flashing Installation
8A. Starting at the left end, fasten flashing per Step 7, using appropriate fasteners.
8B. When two courses of flashing come together (over 10'), tuck the second course UNDER the first course a minimum of 2”.
8C. Repeat process the width of the patio cover.

Preparation for Gutter, Post, and Beam Assembly

9A. Prior to laying out post and brackets, find a protected work area (to avoid material damage) to mark bracket locations on gutter or I-Beam.
9B. If there are more than 2 posts, determine intermediate post spacing.
9C. Determine desired post layout and mark centerline of each post bracket location on gutter or I-beam.
Note: Post spacing is not to exceed engineering specifications.

Attach bracket to gutter or I-Beam using 4ea. Hex Tek #14 x 1" fasteners (Part No.: FZ-14X1-HEXTEK).

Site Layout for Post Locations

Understanding Patio Cover Slope
The front of the patio cover must be lower than the back. This will ensure water drains away from the house. The minimum slope must be ½” per foot.
Examples:
12’-0” Projection = 6” Drop
10’-0” Projection = 5” Drop
8’-0” Projection = 4” Drop
Important: Do NOT install patio cover completely flat.

Determine post height with I-Beam system
To determine the post height, follow this formula: A-B-C = Post height dimension
4” I-Beam Example: 120” (A) – 5”(B) – 4”(C) = Post Height (D) = 111” (9’ 3”)
7” I-Beam Example:120” (A) – 5”(B) – 7”(C) = Post Height (D) = 108” (9”)
Cut post to desired dimension (D) using a miter saw, Step 15.

Determine Post Height with Gutter System
To determine the post height, follow this formula: A-B-C = Post height dimension
Example:120”(A) – 5” (B) – 2” (C) = Post Height (D)=113" (9' 5")
Cut post to desired dimension (D) using a miter saw, Step 15.

Bracket Attachment to Post and Concrete Slab
16A. Transfer dimensions from previously installed post brackets to slab. (Step 11)
16B. Install post brackets using wedge anchors.
Note: Minimum 6” setback from concrete edge is required.
See Engineering report for wedge anchor or footing sizes

Insulated Panel Installation

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Do not drag or jam the panels while moving or storing them.
• Always use two people while handling panels.
• Since protective film can stick to panel, do not store in direct sunlight.
• Insulated panels are larger than other panel options, so greater care is needed when handling in order to preserve finish.
• Before the installation of each panel, peel off protective coating

IN1A. Attach insulated hanger using 2 ea. 1/4” Lag Screws @ 16" o.c. maximum with a minimum of 2½" penetration into wall studs. If space allows above the hanger, apply and smooth a bead of caulk.
