Place eaves beam onto front frames ensuring that the front lip overhangs. Fix into frames using self tapping screws at approx. 600mm centres Step 3 - After fixing the wall plate adjust the variable angle plate to suit correct ‘tilt’ and add 10mm to the glazing bar length Variable angle plate Step 5 - Trim PVC end caps to angle and fix.
