    1. Setting Frame and Posts:
      1. Remove base frame from the single base frame box and lay on surface where the shower unit will be installed. It is important that the base frame is level prior to going any further with the shower installation. If installing a double unit, align the expander base frame with the single base frame and fasten using ¾” self tapping screws. *DOOR MUST BE INSTALLED ON BASE FRAME, NOT THE EXPANDER FRAME. (See PIC 1a) *It is important to determine your door location, door swing, and all wall locations before unit installation begins.* See Floor Plan provided with installation manual.

    1. Installing Wall Panels and Post Bracket:
        1. On the side of the post where the post bracket will sit measure down 1” from the top of the post and measure 1” over from side of the post forming a T and mark with a pencil. (See PIC 2a) *Important This will keep header and top of the wall panel aligned.*
        2. Align the top of the post bracket with the top of the “T” and center the post bracket screw hole with the center of the “T”. Attach the bracket using the self tapping ¾” stainless steel screw (provided in wall panel box). (See PIC 2b)
        3. Measure down from the top of the post bracket 72 1/2” and mark a pencil line. Above that line measure over 1” from the side of the post forming an upside down “T”. (See PIC 2c)
        4. Align the bottom of the post bracket with the bottom line of the upside down “T” and center the post bracket screw hole with the center of the upside down “T”. Attach the bracket using the self tapping ¾” stainless steel screw (provided in wall panel box). (See PIC 2d)
        5. Repeat steps 2a thru 2d on adjacent post where wall panel will be installed.

      1. Set the wall panel into the bottom brackets first, and then pull the posts away at the top. The top of the wall panel should clear the top wall bracket and fit snug. If the wall panel does not clear the top panel bracket and fit snug loosen the post bolts. (See PIC 2f)
      2. Fasten the wall panel to the brackets using the self tapping ¾” stainless steel screws on all four corners of the wall panel. *All screws must be facing the interior of the shower & centered on bracket.* (See PIC 2g)
      3. Continue this process until all wall panels are installed. If there is any part of the shower facing an existing structure and a wall panel is not being installed a header will be provided in order for you to secure the two posts. This header will also need to be installed on the top of the door. Follow steps 2a and 2b to attach the brackets, and then attach the header (open side up) to the brackets using self tapping ¾” stainless steel screws. (See PIC 2h)
      4. Tighten the bottom bolts of each post to secure the unit. The post must be tightened evenly to ensure unit will be level.

      Pic 3c

      1. Only 3 post brackets are required for the half wall. 2 for the half wall header and 1 for the bottom of the half wall. Refer to steps 2a thru 2d for post bracket installation.
      2. Install the half wall panel into the header so that the end of the header is flush with the end of half wall so that the tab is facing toward the center of the header.
      3. Fasten a self tapping screw through the top of the header into the tab of the half wall to secure the frame to the header. The screw should go 14 ½” in from the end of the header that’s flush with end of the half wall. Then install the half wall and header into the wall brackets using the self tapping screws. (See PIC 3c)
    2. Secure Shower Unit to Surface:
      1. If you are placing your shower on pavers, cement or blacktop; attach the frame to a level surface using 2 1/2” x ¼” Tapcon screws (6 screws for a double unit and 4 screws for a single unit). Plastic shims are recommended to avoid contact.
      2. Before screwing down the frame, use galvanized washers or shims to level frame. *The frame must be level prior to fastening*.
      3. If placing your shower on a wooden surface attach the frame using 4” x 3/8” lag bolts (6 qty. for double unit and 4 qty. for a single unit). *The frame must be level prior to fastening*.
    3. Installing the Roof:
      *2 people are recommended for this step.*

          1. Assemble the roof on the ground by sliding the louvers through the cross beams. (See PIC 5a)
            5a

            Pic 5a

          2. For privacy purposes determine the direction you would like your louvers to go. If you are using the pergola end caps it is important to use silicone to secure them to the cross beams in the front of the shower (door side). (See PIC 5b-1) Secure the end caps with silicone to the back side of the cross beams. (See PIC 5b-2)

            Pic 5b-2

        1. Space cross beams approx. 9 ¾” apart. With one person standing inside the shower to guide and support the roof, lift the roof and slide it into place. Make sure the back of the cross beams are flush with the shower unit before proceeding. The end cross beams should sit just inside your top wall brackets. Check measurement on cross beams to ensure they are still at approx. 9 ¾” apart. (See PIC 5c)
        2. Use the L brackets and self tapping ¾” stainless steel screws to attach each cross beam to the inside of a wall panel or header on both the front and rear of the shower. (See PIC 5d)
