5. On the base tube surface facing the inside of the
greenhouse, install a short Tek screw at each joint and

6. Consult the End frame diagram (Quick Start section)
and mark the rough opening for the width of the double
door assembly.
7. Place the band clamps on the end rafter above the

9. Measure the distance
between the top of the base tube
and band clamp (Step 7)
to determine the length of the
first vertical section of the door frame tube.
10. Choose one (1) square tube (#102897), insert the
swaged end of the long tube into the plain end of
another tube and tap with a hammer to properly seat
the tubes at the joint.
11. On this assembled frame member, mark the length
determined in Step 9 (above) and
subtract the amount
needed to account for the square-to-round tube
connect bracket
, which is attached to the top of the
frame tube. See the diagram that follows.
12. Select a square-to-round tube connect bracket and
attach the bracket to one end of the vertical frame
member. Use a 5/16" drill bit to drill a hole through the

carriage bolt.
13. Repeat Steps 9-12 for the remaining vertical frame
member for the door.
14. With the square-to-round tube connect bracket
attached to the top of each vertical door frame tube,
use the bolt in the band clamp to attach the bracket to
the band clamp. DO NOT TIGHTEN AT THIS TIME.
NOTE:
The heads of the bolts for each clamp are to the
outside (or front/back) of the greenhouse. At this point,
the two vertical door frame members should be loosely
attached to the end rafter assembly.
• One (1) long 99" section of square tubing (#102897
