1. CONSTRUCTING A CHALK LINE
LAYOUT:

DETAIL INSTRUCTION No. 1

Strike a chalk line (#1) on the floor to
establish location of the first wall. This line
will represent the outside edge of the base
plate. Using the 3,4,5 triangle method,
construct the first corner of your building.
Measure 4' from point A on line #1, and
mark this point B. Strike a 5' arc from point
B and a 3' arc from point A, the intersection
of the two arcs is point C. Strike chalk line
#2 through point A and C to form a 90
degree corner. Continue with this procedure
to establish the remaining chalk lines. Once
layout is complete, take diagonal
measurements from corner to corner. Diagonal measurement should be within 1/8" of each other to ensure the building
is in square.

2. BASE PLATE INSTALLATION:
The base plate will be mitered and sized to fit the
required layout. Attach the base plate to the foundation

DETAIL INSTRUCTION No. 2

using appropriate fasteners, install the fasteners starting
from one corner and proceeding on 24" centers.
Appropriate fasteners for attachment of the base plate
to the foundation to be furnished by others, depending
on site conditions.

Note: Be sure that the base plate is installed level and
in square.

3. CORNER POST - PANEL INSTALLATION:
(If the building is a Two or Three Wall type which is attached to existing walls, refer to Instruction #9.)
Start with one corner post. Insert corner post into base plate at any corner (support corner until panels are installed on
each side). Insert panel into base plate and corner post, sliding panel firmly into place, proceed with panel on opposite
side of corner post. Screw corner cover to corner post with #12 x 3/4” slotted hex head screws to secure panels.

DETAIL INSTRUCTION No. 3

Notes: Check layout for appropriate colors for interior

and exterior of building.
Check layout for any critical dimensions. Refer
to Installation Drawings for proper location of sized
components.
Visually inspect to ensure panels fit properly at
all connections. Panel should fit flush with panel stop of
corner or connector. As each wall is installed, be sure
the length of wall is the same dimension at the top and
bottom, to keep wall square.
Buildings with overheight wall pane ls will have a
splice. Shim splice as required to keep level.
Helpful hint: Start the #12 x 3/4” slotted hex­head screws into covers before putting the covers into
place.

DETAIL INSTRUCTION No. 4

4. CONNECTOR - PANEL INSTALLATION:

Insert exterior connector into base plate and slide firmly
against panel. Insert the next panel on the other side of
the exterior connector. Attach interior connector to
exterior connector with #12 x 3/4” slotted hex head
screws to secure panel connection. Plumb every panel
connection. Once panel connection is secured, install
#8 x 5/8" self drilling screw through 1 1/4" lip of base
plate and into connector.
Install connector cover by snapping into interior
connector. If electric is required in connector, wait to
install connector cover until electric is installed.

Note: Do not over tighten connector fasteners as this
can squeeze the shoulders of the extrusion making it
difficult to install the connector covers.

5. ELECTRICAL BOX INSTALLATION:

The light switches and electrical outlets are shipped
from the factory knocked down and are to be
installed on site. The electrical junction boxes are to
be installed on site, using the #8 x 5/8" self drilling
screws supplied. Screw through the back of the
junction box and into the connector. After junction
box is attached, measure and cut the connector cover
to fit above and below junction box.
Note: You may also want to cut the connector cover
just above or even with the ceiling line to facilitate
later access without removal of the ceiling.

DETAIL INSTRUCTION No. 5

6. CEILING CAP INSTALLATION:

The ceiling cap will be mitered and sized to fit the
required layout. It is important to install the ceiling
cap in conjunction with the wall panels to ensure the
dimensional stability of the building. Ceiling cap are
sections are spliced at vertical connectors. Secure
ceiling cap to the vertical extrusion (corner post and
connector) by fastening through the ceiling cap legs
and into the vertical extrusions with a #8 x 5/8" self
drilling screw. Do this at every panel connection, on
both the interior and exterior around entire perimeter
of building.
