sides and cut H-channel to the measured length. For
greenhouse frames equipped with the 108867 end cap, the
H-channel, when installed properly, is positioned under the
end cap.
Set the panel back in place,

to the outside,
against the end wall and install the H-channel
along the edges. (Greenhouse frames only: Position the top
