E-Lite Fabrication, Assembly and Installation Instructions
Section IV: E-Lite “Stick Built” Aluminum Panel Installation
B.) Insert the bottom panel in the same manner as the upper, squaring and spacing the struts down the length of
the light shelf. The aluminum panel, once seated, should extend approximately ¼” past the end of the struts.
C.) Once the bottom panels are in place, support the assembly at each strut approximately ¼” higher than the
desired level above the finished floor. With panels supported and level along the run, align drill and countersink
the bottom panel at each strut location. Then pin with the flat head fasteners provided. This will minimize
unleveling due to sag over time. On panels that extend up to the maximum depth, it may be necessary to pin
both top and bottom panels at the strut locations in the “flexed” position as illustrated below.
