Vinyl Beam Assembly

www.edenarbors.com

Lay out two 94 1/2” beams (part 7) as shown. Align and fasten

mounting brackets to the pre-drilled holes on top of the beams

using the 3/4“ screws provided.

Using a helper and two ladders, proceed to complete the

following steps”

Slide the vinyl beam with rafter clips pre-installed through

both holes of the vinyl column (overshooting), and then back

through both holes of the opposite column. Repeat for

opposite beam.

Please note:

The top of the vinyl columns may need to be tensioned in opposite

directions to each other to allow the beams and rafters to be

installed on a slight angle. The vinyl columns naturally allow for

some measure of flex.

Stop when the end of the beam measures 3 1/4” from the

outside edge of the post. Fasten both ends of the beam to

the posts as illustrated using four 4“ screws per post.

Repeat step 2 for the remaining posts and bracketed beam.

would be the ideal time to install the base

moldings and post trims.

2. Apply a generous amount of vinyl glue around the post

3. Slide the post trim back up to the desired location and

allow a few minutes for glue to cure.
