- Pour concrete slab at least 4" plus the required footer. The slab
should exceed the room dimension by 2 ~ 3 inches and should be perfectly level.
- To insure against leakage, recess the perimeter of the slab approximately
¾" deep by 3½" wide using a standard 1" x 4" plank nailed to the top
of the form boards.
- Lay cabana base channels on the floor using the wall as a starting point.
Then 2 ~ 3 inches from the edge, secure with T-bolts every 12 inches. Before setting in
place, be sure to notch out for doors. Use plenty of caulking under and along the sides of
the cabana base as an extra precaution.
- Install receiving channel vertically on the wall of the house starting at
either side of the slab, preferably the side closest to the power source
- Using the set of numbered specifications, locate panel number one (1) and
set in place.
- When forming a window opening, first locate the two numbered panels for
that wall section. Second, attach the specified receiving channel to the top of the bottom
panel and the bottom of the top panel. Insert the bottom panel in cabana base and H-beam,
receiving channel, or corner post. Next, locate the specified DRC channels and place
vertically in the channels to form a flat surface. Finally, set the top panel in place
resting on the top of the DRC channels. Continue Wall.
- When turning a corner, place corner post so that it overlaps the cabana
base. Continue wall placements.
- To form door opening, first place the appropriate channels (H-beam,
receiving channel, or corner post) on both sides of the opening. Using a pair of pliers,
bend the inside lip of the cabana base back approximately one (1) inch so the DRC channels
can go all the way to the floor. Insert the specified DRC channels on both sides. Locate
the numbered panel for the top of the door opening. Attach the specified receiving channel
to the bottom of the panel and set in place. Continue wall.

- After the wall assembly procedure is complete, locate the specified top
cap. Measure the completed wall sections and cut the top cap accordingly.
- Finally secure structure using #6 or #8 x ½" TEK screws at every
H-beam, corner post and receiving channel. Screws should be used at the top and bottom of
every vertical extrusion to attach that extrusion to the top cap and cabana base.
- Run the specified header along the wall of the house allowing for the
overhang at each end of the room and considering the cleat connector gain. Attach to the
wall of the house.
- Lay the first numbered roof panel starting with the overhang, square
panel and continue across the room adding connectors as you go.
- After roof panels are up and square, attach roof to the top cap of the
walls using 4" x ¼" lag bolts with a neoprene washer every foot around the
perimeter of the roof.
- Cap the end of the roof with the specified receiving channel.
- Connect T-gutter to receiving channel and add down spouts according to
the size of the room.
- Cap the two sides of the roof with the specified fascia.
- Return to walls and install windows and doors.
- Lay electric base according to specification. Glue all joints.
- Install exterior lights and switches.
- Seal all wall and window joints with the supplied silicone.
- Seal all roof connectors and joints with the supplied C-14 sealer.
- Touch up the extrusions with the supplied extrusions touch-up paint.
- Your insulated patio enclosure is complete.
