Before attempting to install this Add-A-
Room, read this manual and follow all its
Safety Rules and Installation Instructions.
Keep open flames and flammable materials outside
and at a safe distance from your Add-A-Room.
Although the roof meets CPAI Code 84 requirements
for flame retardancy, it is NOT fireproof.
The roof must be removed during the winter season.
This Add-A-Room is NOT designed to support a snow
load.
Rain gutters on the house roof in the area above the
Add-A-Room are required to prevent possible damage
from excessive water accumulation on the roof.
Under certain conditions, the vinyl roof may display a
slight relaxing effect, causing slight depressions.
Should water collect in these depressions, remove it
by standing inside the Add-A-Room and pushing
upward and outward with a broom or other soft object
that will not damage the roof. Do not use a sharp
object that will cut the roof.
Remove the roof from your Add-A-Room if strong
winds or storms are forecasted to prevent damage to
the roof.
Do not attempt to assemble your Add-A-Room under
windy conditions to avoid damaging the components
and to prevent possible injury.
1. We recommend using two people to assemble and
install the Add-A-Room. It is safer and easier with two
people.
2. Check the height from your patio or deck. You must
have a height of at least 96” E series, 88” G series or
107” H series to install the roof.
3. Prepare a base for the Add-A-Room. It is critical that
the base be solid and level to allow you to install the
Add-A-Room properly and to prevent it from shifting
over time. The best base is concrete or a wooden
deck. At the very least, a weather resistant 2” x 4”.
4. As a minimum, you will need the following tools to
assemble and install your Add-A-Room:
Electric or cordless drill
1/8” & 5/32” drill bits
#2 Robertson (square) screwdriver
Medium sized slot screwdriver
9/16” wrench
Pliers
Cutting pliers or scissors
Stepladder
NOTE: You will need fasteners to anchor the Add-A-Room
to the base and to the wall of the house. As these
surfaces and fastener requirements vary widely, these
fasteners are not included with the hardware.
OPEN CARTONS
1. Open the long box and remove all components.
Check components against the parts list to make sure
all parts are present.
2. Open the wide box and remove the parts bag and
vinyl roof only.
Open parts bag and check components against
the parts list to make sure all parts are present.
Remove vinyl roof from the plastic bag, and hen
open up the roof on a clean dry surface with no
sharp objects. Leave vinyl roof in the direct sun so
it will become more pliable and easier to handle
during installation.
NOTE: Do not remove screen wall assembly from
the carton at this point.
INSTALL REAR ROOF TRACK
Install rear roof track to the wall of the house at exactly 96”
E series, 88” G series or 107” H series above the deck or
base you prepared for your Add-a-Room (see Fig.1).
NOTE: The rear roof track is shipped in two pieces. Make
sure they are butted firmly against each other and
perfectly aligned when installed.
1. Mark the wall at 96” E series, 88” G series or 107”
H series) above the deck or base (1).
2. Position rear roof track (2) with the top surface at the
marks.
3. Drill appropriate holes in flat section of the roof track
(3) to accommodate fasteners you will use to fasten
the rear track to the wall.
NOTE:
a) Make sure you use adequate fasteners and that
they are solidly anchored into the brick wall, wall studs
or wall sheeting. Fasteners should be spaced no more
than 16” apart.
b) For best results, use flat head screws and
countersink into the roof track.
