INSTALLATION GUIDE
BEFORE YOU START
It is important to check your Local Government Authority requirements before the installation of your new Stratco Outback®
Flat Verandah. It is the builder’s responsibility to ensure any existing structure that an Outback Flat is being attached to is
adequately reinforced to accommodate the additional loads imposed by the verandah, patio or carport. Read these instructions
thoroughly before starting your project and refer to them constantly during each stage of construction. Contact Stratco for
advice if you do not have the necessary tools or information.
Before starting, lay out the main components in order of assembly on the ground and check them against the delivery note.
The ‘Components’ section identifies each part of your Outback Flat Verandah and shows the relative location of the
components.
Mark out the overall area of your verandah, patio or carport and ensure that it is free from obstructions. Beam to wall
connections can cause diculty if they coincide with door and window openings, so avoid these in your design. Ensure there
is reasonable access for materials and working space and consider the disposal of run-o water. Check the column and beam
positions on the ground; roughly check they are square by measuring the diagonals, then mark out the column locations. If
columns are to be ‘in ground’, dig the holes to Stratco specifications.
If required, search the Stratco YouTube channel for our range of installation videos for additional guidance.
