tornadoes, or hurricanes.

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to assembling this greenhouse, please read the
MUST READ
document included with the shipment.
WARNING:
The anchor assembly is an integral part
of the greenhouse construction. Improper anchoring
may cause greenhouse instability and failure of the
structure. Failing to anchor the greenhouse properly
will void the manufacturer’s warranty
and may cause
serious injury and damage.
LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
• Never erect the structure under power lines.
• Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present
before
preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
• Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around the building.
• Do not position the greenhouse where large loads
such as snow and ice, large tree branches, or other
overhead obstacles could fall.
•
Always check local building codes before you begin.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. The following site characteristics will help
ensure the integrity of the structure.
•
A level site is required
. The site must be level to
properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.
• If the site is not level, use footings to provide a secure
base to assemble the structure. Pre-cast concrete
blocks, pressure-treated wood posts, or poured
footings are all acceptable when properly used. (Some
shelters use ground posts or rafter feet.)
• Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from
areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING:
The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques
must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.
ASSEMBLY NOTE:
Install Tek screws using a clutched
drill driver running approximately 750 RPM while applying
approximately 50 lbs of force.
Do not use an impact driver to install Tek screws!
