all additional documentation included with shipment
before
you begin assembling.
3. Gather the tools, bracing, ladders (and lifts), and
assistants needed to assemble greenhouse.

POLYCARBONATE PANELS
Do not allow panels to remain in direct sunlight with
protective film in place. Doing so will cause protective
film to become difficult if not impossible to remove before
installation.
Store panels indoors or cover with a light-colored
tarp until you are ready to install.
PANEL AND RIDGE CAP INSTALLATION NOTE
Depending on available equipment, it may be necessary to
construct a support structure to allow a person to reach top
of greenhouse from outside.
If a support structure has to be used, design structure to
support both the weight of structure and the person using it.
Use of a lift is strongly recommended.
CAUTION:
Under no circumstances should support
structure allow any force or weight to be applied directly
to polycarbonate sheets!
All supports must span
from rafter-to-rafter.
Consult a contractor if needed for additional information.
Take the necessary steps to protect polycarbonate panels.
POLYCARBONATE PANELS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO
SUPPORT WEIGHT.
NOTE:
Position supports so they span from rafter-to-rafter
to protect panels. DO NOT use materials that will damage
or scratch panels.
Cover panels to protect panel surface.
CAUTION:
DO NOT place support structure directly
on polycarbonate panels; serious injury may occur.
Polycarbonate panels are not designed to support
excess weight.
