FlashRite Weather Seal
If using a FlashRite weather seal, slide it over the loop and down the shaft. Ensure roofing area is clean and dry, mark the position of the FlashRite weather seal on the roofing. Apply clear neutral cure silicone inside the area marked, press the FlashRite weather seal into position and finish with a bead of silicone to the edges of the FlashRite weather seal to complete the fitting.
Flexatile
If using a flexatile, remove the middle lining from the underside of the flexatile. Cut the rubber cone at least 15mm smaller than the Shade Sail Anchor bracket OD with a sharp knife or scissors. Ensure tiles are cleaned before installation. Lubricate the bracket with water and slide the flashing down the bracket. Form an anti-capillary fold at top of base sheet. Remove the protective backing from the underside of the flashing, that is covering the butyl adhesive strips. Hand form the base all around the tile and apply pressure to the butyl adhesive side strip.
Installation Guide Shade Sail Anchor Roof Extenda
Roof Extenda works with its manufacturers to produce a quality product. Roof Extenda has both electroplated mild steel & 316 marine grade stainless steel brackets available.
The zinc electroplated brackets have a top coating. Roof Extenda cannot provide any guarantees on the lifetime of the brackets and recommends the following:
- Roof Extenda recommends a qualified installer to seek advice from a coating manufacturer if brackets are to be coated prior to installation.
- Check brackets annually.
- Clean and coat if required with a cold galvanized paint which can be purchased at most hardware stores. This can be easily applied to the exposed surfaces of the brackets.
- If brackets show signs of corrosion they can be replaced by a builder.
If installing Roof Extenda shade sail anchor in a highly corrosive area we recommend the installer has the bracket coated in an appropriate anti-corrosive coating.
