READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The main building and any accessory (end wall, door, etc.)
requires a specific installation sequence.
All buildings
include an instruction guide; each accessory includes an
instruction guide.
Near the beginning of each instruction guide (building or
accessory), you will find information to lead you through
the installation and assembly steps. This information
identifies at what point during the assembly a particular
accessory is installed or attached to the main building
frame.
In all instances and regardless of the type and
number of accessories, the main building frame is
always constructed first.
Since we cannot anticipate changes made by the
customer/contractor, all instructions assume the use of
accessories purchased from us to be used on the building
the accessory was designed for. Each instruction guide
presents the basic steps to install the accessory.
When in doubt, consult the services of a qualified
contractor experienced with the assembly of similar
structures.
Assemble the main building frame now.
WIND AND SNOW LOAD
Many GrowSpan™shelters and greenhouses can be
designed to meet wind and snow loading in your area.
Please consult with your account manager if needed for
additional information.
ANCHORING THE BUILDING
The anchoring methods shown in this manual for
buildings with mounting feet or buildings with ground
posts are temporary in nature. For the recommended
permanent anchoring methods, consult the MUST
READ documents that also shipped with your building.
The diagrams presented in that guide show anchoring
methods designed to meet typical loads and forces.
Consult that document and read its contents
before
you
begin construction.
