  4. Repeat step 3 on the right side of the window using the right canopy frame.

  5. Cut 3 battens to length i.e. the distance from the outer edge of the left canopy frame to the outside edge of the right canopy frame.

  6. Using 50mm screws fix the battens to the top of the frames positioning as follows
