Requires 96” clearance at the wall
Base Dimensions 190’’x 94 1/2’’,
Largest Dimensions 190’’x98 1/2’’
(see pg.19)
TOOLS REQUIRED:
Screwdriver (Philips #2)
Knife
File (smooth)
Needle-nosed pliers
Rubber mallet
Step ladder (minmum 6' in height)
Spatula
Power drill
Tube of silicon
Drill bit 5/16" cement
(according to surface)
Round file + flat

BEFORE STARTING:
Ensure that you have a solid base,
such as concrete or wooden deck,
not slanted more than 1” per 8’. Avoid
installing unit adjacent to trees or a sloped
roof, as snow and ice may slide onto the
solarium and cause it to collapse.
Please don't destroy boxes until completely assembled.
STEP #1
Decide the position of the door frames before assembly according to where you intend to slide the door. At
the front of the solarium, use frame D3 for the opening of the door and B3 for the direction of the door when
open. Use E3 between frame ends and use two (2) K3 joints for corners.
Look for the sticker that will show you which side is up. (See sketch on page 14)
NOTE:
When sliding the connectors,
shake the frame so that they
will slide easily. Do not use
tools to force. If needed, clean
the paint with a file and make
sure the ends of the frame and
joints are not bent or warped.
If so, use the needle-nosed
pliers to straighten.
STEP #2
Slide the vertical guides Vv-3
left and Ww-3 right into the 2
ends of the frames along the
grooves, shaking while sliding
for easier movement.

ASSEMBLE PIECES
NOTE:
Once the wall track is in place,
apply silicon along the top of the
wall track and at the joint of the
two tracks.
Silicon is not supplied.
STEP #3
Assemble ML-3, O-3, N-3, and MR-3 as shown
and position evenly above vertical guides, at 96’’
from the ground. Secure wall track and vertical
tracks to brick or cement wall by drilling through
the aluminum and using screws Xx-3. Insert the 2
horizontal guides, I3 & J3 at the top of the frame.
Make sure the 2 frames are at the correct level, if
not, use shims to compensate. Do not use tools to
force.
BEFORE SCREWING
THEM TO THE WALL
STEP #4
Set polycarbonate exposed side on the outside over horizontal left guide I-3, use one (1) Rr-3 panel, one (1)
P-3 joint and one (1) Ss-3 panel, then do the right side with one (1) Tt-3 panel, one (1) Q-3 joint and one (1)
Uu-3 panel over the J-3 horizontal guide. Secure P-3 and Q-3 to I-3 and J-3 respectively with self-tapping
screws (PQ-3).

STEP #6
Set G rafters over the bracket with
Bb-3 screws at the top and two (2)
Z-3 screws over the preset
brackets on the rafters.
Set G rafter on each joint and use
Z-3 screws manually. Do not use
power drill to screw Z-3.
STEP #5
Set left rafter F over last bracket
then secure it with Bb-3 screw and
continue screwing through joint K-3
with the Bb-3 screw. Secure to Q-3
bracket with self-tapping screw
(PQ-3). Repeat on right side with
rafter F1.
STEP #6
Set G rafters over the bracket with
Bb-3 screws at the top and two (2)
Z-3 screws over the preset
brackets on the rafters.
Set G rafter on each joint and use
Z-3 screws manually. Do not use
power drill to screw Z-3.
STEP #6
Set G rafters over the bracket with
Bb-3 screws at the top and two (2)
Z-3 screws over the preset
brackets on the rafters.
Set G rafter on each joint and use
Z-3 screws manually. Do not use

STEP #7
DOOR UNIT(S) MUST BE
ASSEMBLED INSIDE OF
SOLARIUM.
Slide upper door track F-3 into
wheels of sliding door C-3. Slide
lower door track G-3 and make
sure inserts are close enough to
the frame to attach. Use bolt
Bb-3 to affix the plastic stopper
H-3 on each end of top door rail
F-3. Use Oo-3 screws to affix

STEP #8
STEP #9
Install crossbeams (L1, L2) under rafters (F, F1, G).
Use Cc-3 screws + Hh-3 nuts for the splice, then secure to the rafter with Cc-3 screws.
Make sure it’s tight.
Lift up door and track inside of solarium then set it over the door opening by screwing at the top. First
use bolts (Ww) and washers (Gg-3) on the inside and female bolts (Cc-3-2) on the outside for the top
assembly. See diagram below. Attach lower track with bolts (Cc-3) and washers (Gg-3). Set up door
latch on the side required for your door to lock, adjust latch as required.
