Before You Begin:
Consult your local building department for any required permits
You may be required to obtain a building permit for this structure. Contact your local building department
for details.
Read instructions thoroughly
Please read all instructions and notes carefully prior to assembly. Americana is not responsible for replacing
parts lost or damaged due to incorrect assembly.
A solid attachment is required for all existing structures
All points of attachment to existing structures (such as house, deck, or patio) must be into solid, structurally
sound, and secure material. Example: wood or metal studs, joists, headers, plates, or sills.
Attachment may be made to block, concrete, brick, or stone veneer with suitable anchors, purchased
separately. Note: Failure to properly fasten unit to wall, deck, porch, or patio may result in damage to the
unit, damage to the structure it is attached to, and could cause serious bodily injury.
Check for all parts
Use the Parts and Hardware List to check for any missing parts. To prevent scratching of painted materials,
place on a tarp or other protective material.
Assistance may be required during certain steps of assembly.
CAUTION
Proper site preparation is required.
Standard shade structure design does not include additional loads such as hanging heavy plants,
swings, or other objects.
DO NOT stand or sit on the shade structure roof.
Repair or replace broken parts immediately.
This kit contains parts with metal edges. Please be careful when handling.
