No Rain On Our Shower



Before

After

January 21, after a few days of rain.
(The first corrugated roof was added in 2006)

3 months later.



Built this shower stall last year.
Now adding a roof.

Actually got these notches right

and got these notches - wrong!

Though notched here, the frame will not
rest on this wall.

Cantilevered from the center T-beam, it
only passes through the outside wall.



Doubled up the inside rafters to absorb
weakness at the misplaced notches.

Attaching a narrow lath to the top edge
of each vertical beam to tilt the ...

... Suntuf Horizontal Closure Strips even
with the slope of the roof.

Again, lath on the top edge of each cross
beam so that the panels will lie flat.

The closure strips raise the panels 1/4" so
lath on the rafters eliminates sagging.

Using the suggested rubber collared
screws, careful not to dimple the panel.

Adding the clear Wall Connector Flashing
across the top - before drilling.

Vacuuming the drilling debris so as not to
litter the area with the plastic spirals.

A SUNTUF® Polycarbonate Corrugated
Panel Roof





Treating the side panels where the
spillage will do some good.



Setting the side panels in loose for now,
but tight.

Will frame them next year
after we return.
