If the door is going to be used on a side wall the vertical uprights should be cut at an angle to match the slope of the wall.Īt the intersection of the upright post and the base framework, secure an angle anchor through the 1” x 2” framework and into the foundation using the ¼” x 2 ¼” quickset anchor.Īttach the angle anchor to the 2” x 2” upright post using the 8” x 9/16” self-drilling screws.īy using a castle clip and the 8” x 9/16 self-drilling screws, secure the 2” x 2” header to the upright post. Place two(2) 2” x 2” vertical posts on either side of a 3” x 6/8” door opening and one 2”x 2” horizontal framework over the door. See section G for kickplate coil installation.

Secure the wall to the foundation using the ¼” x 2 ¼” quickset anchors at 6” intervals from each vertical post, then every 24”. ![]() Using the capri clips and the 8” x 9/16” self-drilling screws, secure the 2” x 2” header and the upright posts at the abutting angles. Secure the framework to the house with the 10” x 3” hex-head screws.Īt the intersection of the upright post and the base framework, secure an angle anchor through the 1” x 2” framework into the foundation with the ¼” by 2 ¼” quickset anchors, then attach the angle anchor to the 1” x 2” front upright post using the 10” x 2” sheet metal screws, and the back upright post with the 8” x 9/16” self-drilling screws, attach the angle anchor to the 2” x 2” upright post using the 8” x 9/6” self-drilling screws. Secure the framework to the house with the ¼” x 2 ¼” quickset anchors.įor wood walls: Pre-drill with the 5/64” drillbit through the 1” x 2” framework and into the house every 24”. Using the 2” x 2” header as a guide, place the 2” x 2” header upright post and scribe all upright to match the slope, make sure the spline grooves face outward before assembly.įor masonry walls: pre-drill with a 3/16” drillbit through the 1” x 2” framework and into the house every 24”. To ensure the proper angle, attach the 1” x 2” for the back wall and front wall to the 1” x 2” framework base.Ĭut the 2” x 2” header to fit between the house and the front wall. Remember: Since the front and back walls are angled for a slope, the side wall should be at an angle as well to allow for this slope. Secure them 6” from each vertical post then every 24”.ĭetermine the number of 2” x 2” framework needed for the center upright based on a maximum of 5” between posts and a 2” x 2” framework for the header.Īlso needed are 1” x 2” framework for the base and front and back support posts. Use the ¼” x 2 ¼”quickset anchors to secure the wall to the foundation. Using the capri clips and the 8 x 9/16” self-drilling screws secure the 2 x 3 header and the 2 x 3 upright post at the abutting angles. Secure an angle anchor at the 1” x 2” intersection of the upright post and the base framework with the ¼” x 2 ¼” quickset anchors.Īttach the angle anchor to the upright post using the 8 x 9/16” self-drilling screws. Lay the framework pieces on the ground with the spline grooves facing outward. Once a front wall height is determined you can determine the amount of 2” x 3” framework needed by upright posts by a maximum of 5” per post.īuild a 1” x 2” framework for the base, and a 2” x 3” framework for the headers.įor corner posts, add 1” to the headers for a 6” overhang on either side of the post.
