Step 1: Prepare construction materials and tools

Supplies

Below are 6 types of materials you need to prepare:

  1. Stainless steel or galvanized steel bar
  2. Wood plastic slats (LAM35X35, LAM50X50, LAM60X40, LAM80X40, L105X50, LAM160X80)
  3. Iron bracket
  4. Stainless steel screw with pee tail
  5. Code
  6. Iron anchor.

Tool

6 necessary tools for the construction process of sunshade horizontal slats include:

  1. Welding machine, angle cutting machine, drilling machine, laser machine
  2. Tape measure, protractor.

LAM60X4025 x 25mm or 20 x 40mm
LAM80X4025 x 50mm
L105X5030 x 30mm
LAM160X8050 x 100mm

B3: Build the skeleton

Column section 

  1. Welding stainless steel or galvanized steel bars with brackets
  2. Fix the bracket to the concrete floor with 12mm iron anchors for security.

The 3 popular types of codes today include code 160, code 120, code 100.

Roof

  1. Weld 4 tie bars to the column
  2. Weld 2 crossbeams to form 4 cells with each cell length or width ≤ 1,5m.
Fix the tie bars and cross beams to build the roof section.

Step 4: Install 1 layer wood plastic slats on the roof

  1. Fix the slat with its inner galvanized steel or stainless steel core with an iron bracket by stainless steel screws.
  2. Fix the slats to the tie beams and cross beams through the iron brackets.
Length of slats ≤ 1,5m
Length of slats ≤ 1,5m

Kosmos recommends a distance of 5mm between the ends of the slats when in contact with the tie beam or cross beam.

To build a roof longer than 1,5m, it is necessary to use horizontal beams as support for the slats. Absolutely do not connect the slats directly together.

Wood plastic slats expand from 5 - 10%, below is the expansion table of wood plastic slats according to the weather:

Summer/Fall3 - 5mm4 - 5mm3 - 4mm

Depending on the weather of the installation area, customers should refer to the expansion table to leave appropriate gaps.

Every 3-6 months, the project needs to be checked and periodically maintained to ensure the best lifespan of the project. If any abnormalities are detected in screws or slats, the construction unit must be notified immediately.

Note: Instructions are for reference only. To have the most suitable construction plan, it is necessary to survey the specific project and come up with an optimal construction solution.
