Mounting Surface: This surface may be a wood deck, concrete slab, or patio area that is level.
Height: Distance from mounting surface up to the first obstruction, such as an overhang etc.
Width: Distance from the house wall, looking out.
Length: Distance parallel along the house wall from right to left.
Front Eave: Top of the front wall of the sunroom.
Height: Distance from mounting surface to top outer dimension.
Bay: Front wall and end wall modules are on 3' centers; each module called a 3' bay.
Right and Left End Walls: Refers to either the right or left hand ends of the sunroom, with your back to the house wall looking outward.
Sash: Either the upper or lower Easy-Slide removable window.
Kneewall: A homeowner site built wall (wood or brick) that is used to increase the overall height of the structure.
Kneewall Door: The location in the Kneewall where the door is located.
Modifications: Changes in size to a standard sized sunroom.
Length Reduction: If it is necessary to reduce the length of the sun-room unit, the 3' front wall and roof panels at the left hand end (from the inside, with back to wall) will be reduced in length.
Width Reduction: If it is necessary to reduce the width of the sunroom unit, the 3' end wall and roof panels closest to the attachment wall of the replace-ment structure will be reduced in width.
Height Reduction: If it is necessary to reduce the height of the sunroom unit, both sashes will be reduced in height.
Height Increased: If it is necessary to raise the height of the sun-room unit, (and the knee-wall is not the best solution), transom panels will be added above the eye-level panel to compensate for the added height.
Transom Panel: Extra panel added above the door or Easy-Slide window to fill the increased height area.

Choose a standard size model for the best value.There are three ways to fit your mounting site. Each has its own associated cost considerations.
Choose a standard size:
will be your best value. Standard size widths & lengths are shown below & on pages 6-11.
Modify your site: Modify your existing
mounting surface to fit a standard size using on-site building materials.
Custom modifications: Factory modifications are the
most costly option and you incur additional charges. Refer to page 17 of this Planning Guide.

Mounting surface: The sunroom has been designed to mount on wood decks, concrete slabs, and patios. The heavy-duty aluminum framing is flexible, yet strong, and the glazing materials are rigid, shatter-resistant, and lightweight.
Average decks have footings and concrete patios are generally poured on a base of well-drained sand or gravel so they will not move in cold weather. Depending upon your climate and codes (if applicable), the base mounting surface prepara-tion requirements may vary by region. Your local building inspector may or may not require modifications to your deck, slab or patio.
You also might be asked to provide details on the mounting surface to make sure it has been designed properly. This may require analysis services of a local engineer at your expense.
Mounting notes: The sunroom base must be mounted to a properly anchored surface to prevent movement. Because every installation has unique require-ments, job-site specific materials such as wood shims, lag bolts, anchors, etc., are not included with the kit. Your local home center or hardware store can provide you with these materials and is an excellent reference source for information on building and construction.
Flooring: Due to the wide variety of mounting surfaces, a floor is not included with your sunroom. Your choice of floors should be designed to withstand sunlight, temperature, and moisture, and be installed only after your SunPorch is fully assembled.
When mounting to a deck, plywood can be used to cover the top-side and exposed gaps. This should be done after the sunroom is installed and to the inside (not underneath) of the base channel. Insulation for this type of flooring is not required.
Indoor/Outdoor carpet is a popular choice because it has excellent qualities, readily available, and moderately priced. It easily installs on existing decks and concrete slabs. Tile or Linoleum can also be used as a flooring choice.

Easy assembly of your sunroom
The frame has been designed as an easy erector-set type assembly. All parts have been pre-cut and most fastener holes pre-drilled so that the assembly consists largely of parts fitting together, squaring and tightening fasteners. For precision fit you must be level and square!

If you do have to get a building permit... Here’s what you need to know
Permit application(Get from your Building Dept.)
New construction drawings(available from SunPorch)
Current plot plan and survey(Get from your Zoning Dept.)
The IRC (International Residential Code) is the nationally accepted building code
specifically recognized as a Patio Cover. By definition, a patio cover requires a separation wall from the adjacent home, is neither conditioned nor habitable, and is considered recreational outdoor space. You will be constructing a screened Patio Cover with removable acrylic windows.
Living space that is heated/cooled is considered to be habitable and has different building code requirements. The building department mandates that new living space must conform to strict code regulation and energy code compliance. This type of con-struction is considerably more expensive and costly than building a simple Patio Cover.
While the IRC is nationally recognized, please note that building code rules and regulations may still differ by city, county, state & region. The need to obtain a permit will vary greatly.
Localized ordinances specific to the your jurisdiction. (Plot Plan) This refers to checking for zoning requirements, property line setbacks, proximity to wetlands, and local homeowners association approvals.
Localized site attachment unique to your installation. (New Construction Drawings) Your local code official may request additional details on any of the following: adjacent house wall, eave or fascia attachment, deck or patio construction, or any de-tails related to how the SunPorch is constructed.
