2

Modify your site: Modify your existing mounting surface to fit a standard size using on-site building materials.

Standard widths & heights – (Series 6, 9, 12 & 15)

3

Custom modifications: Factory modifications are the most costly option and you incur additional charges. Refer to page 17 of this Planning Guide. (see following pages for details)

Leveling and mounting to a concrete slab

Step 1 Tape

Weatherable shims Base channel Level

Mounting notes: The sunroom base must be mounted to a properly anchored surface to prevent movement. Because every installation has unique requirements, 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.

Mounting to a brick patio

4

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 preparation requirements may vary by region. Your local building inspector may or may not require modifications to your deck, slab or patio.

Beam

3

Mounting surface: The sunroom has been designed to mount on wood decks, Beam concrete slabs, and patios. The heavy-duty aluminum framing is flexible, yet strong, and the glazing materials are rigid, shatter-resistant, and lightweight.

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. 18

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. Wedge anchor Base channel PT shim Concrete

2014 SunPorch Planning Guide 21


If you do have to get a building permit... Here’s what you need to know Permit application

Current plot plan and survey

New construction drawings

(Get from your Building Dept.)

(Get from your Zoning Dept.)

(available from SunPorch)

Varies by Locale

The IRC (International Residential Code) is the nationally accepted building code for the United States. Referencing Appendix H of the IRC, SunPorch/ShadePorch is 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 construction is considerably more expensive and costly than building a simple Patio Cover.

Approved Material

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 details related to how the SunPorch is constructed. Local codes may require modifications to the mounting surface of your home. Special notice regarding permits: It is the sole responsibility of the homeowner to confirm compliance with building code and permit requirements for your site. SunPorch shall have no responsibility in that regard. These code related issues should be discussed with your local building code official prior to taking delivery of your SunPorch structure.
