Bahama Shutters - Installation Instructions
Tools that are required are a level, drill
driver bits, appropriate fasteners, tape
measure, ladder and a pencil.
1. Measure width of opening and mark the
center at the top 1-1/2" up from window
opening on the window header.
2. Measure hinge at top of shutter panel
and mark the center of the hinge. Mark every
10"-16" right and left of center
mark.
3. Drill 1/4" hole in hinge at previous
marks on hinge.
4. Place shutter over opening aligning
center hole in hinge with mark on header.
Check for even overlap above and below opening.
If there is a sill rest the shutter on the
sill and mark the header thru the center
hole in the hinge.
5. Set aside shutter and drill appropriate
size hole in header 1/4" above mark
made in previous step.
6. Attach shutter thru hole in center of
hinge using appropriate fastener. Snug the
fastener up to the point the shutter stays
in place but can still be moved.
7. Level shutter. Stand back and check
the look for consistency of overlap. Tighten
the fastener so the shutter wont move while
completing the installation.
8. Drill holes thru hinge into header as
before and using appropriate fasteners attach
the hinge firmly in place.
9. Attach support tubes to shutter panel
using supplied fasteners. Then lift up panel
and extend each arm to the face of the building.
The arms should be at a 90 degree angle
to the building.
10. Using the supplied support arm brackets
attach them to the surface of the wall in
the position that allows the panel to close
completely on the surface of the building.
You will receive more detailed instructions
with your shutters. There are a couple of
variations on how and where the support
arms and brackets can be attached.
11. Adjust the arm extensions to the desired
point that provides the most effective angle
for your Bahama shutter.
