What happens here
Following the initial fastenings, the installer continues to work across the transparent panel, systematically driving additional roofing screws into each wooden rafter that the panel spans. This methodical approach ensures that the panel is uniformly secured and capable of withstanding environmental forces such as wind uplift, rain, and snow loads. The process involves carefully moving along the structure, accurately positioning the drill over the pre-drilled holes or marking new points, and driving each screw until it is snug. Care is taken to avoid overtightening, which could stress or crack the panel, while ensuring a firm, weather-tight attachment across the entire roof surface.
Goal: Securely fasten the entire transparent roofing panel to the wooden structure
