NOTES
INSTALLATION NOTES 1The required number of Anchors and Clips for your order are calculated using nominal parameters for your application and geographic location. These parameters are; type of construction, wind pressure estimate and attachment span. 2The vast majority of our applications use ¼ (1/20) Elco Panelmate anchors (male or female) or concrete flush inserts. TAN 3Hurricane Fabric is designed and engineered to be attached side to side or top and bottom. Our hardware calculations assume the attachment span is the shortest of the two dimensions. WHITE
INSTALLATION NOTES Although it is not necessary to attach or anchor on 3 or sides, in cases where the unattached dimension exceeds, it is good installation practice to use an additional anchor(s) on the nonattachment span dimension to prevent sagging or billowing. Supplemental anchors should be placed mid dimension or every 23 on center as needed. We do include some extra Clips and Anchors for this purpose, however, the installer is responsible for identifying anchor counts for his/her specific requirement.
INSTALLATION NOTES Please refer to the example sketches to identify what you can expect for standard hardware definition. I f you desire to anchor/clip your openings differently, you must request additional hardware on your Order Form or Measurement Cut Sheet. Please refer to the appropriate Product Approval Engineering documents on our website for your specific needs.
