Here are the install direction in an abbreviated version:
Measure your bow spacings- the distance between the supports.
You should be at 4,5,6 feet or 2 meter spacing. If this is not the case please make adjustments to the bows or add additional perlins to make this possible. (Call us we are here to help and give you options).
Unevenly spaced bows make your vertical installation difficult, but not impossible. (Again just give us a ring).
Measure your longest length run needed. This is how much material will be required for your structure. Please keep in mind that you can not successfully seam the material without loss of structural strength.
Rolls are sold either in custom lengths or as master rolls, which are 328 feet in length. **Please note that the first wrap around the rolls is not part of this count, it is given as additional protection during shipping, if your first layer is damaged, not to worry! It is not calculated in your material request.
Install tracks into your frame with self-taping screws (stainless or galvanized is recommended) 1 ¼” to 1 1/2 “ in length. Insert the Solawrap film into the tracks.
***Optional for Warmer Climates: It is suggested that a neoprene washer to added to the screw at the assembly to help spread the load and prevent the screw from heating up and melting through the extrusion. Screw spacing recommendation is 12” -24” apart depending on the wind, rain, and snow loads. For low snow load areas, 17” spacing is adequate. In high wind and snow loads, 12” spacing is recommend.
Tracking must be aligned properly or film could get damaged when inserted.
