Always install Joiner Caps wide side down.
Builder's Notes: Caps are easily cut to length with a hacksaw.

Poly 101 Question: I noticed it said you recommended a 24 1/2" OC framing. If it is just "24 OC" Does that mean with your clear joiner caps each panel will need 1/2" shaved off the width? Or is there a way to make it compatible without modifications to the panels?
Answer: Either rip the panels to 23.5" or layout framing at 24.5" O.C. The Joiner Caps have a ½" spacing gap for screws in the center, and this forces the frame spacing to 24-1/2" O.C.
(NOTE: You can use the aluminum Bar Caps on the roof and use framing at 24" O.C., but this forces the panels to fit tightly together, without room for expansion, okay for a small project.)
