END PANEL INSTALLATION
After the end wall framing is attached to the greenhouse,
attach the polycarbonate panels to the end wall framing.
The steps that follow describe one way to complete the end
wall panel installation.
The materials and parts needed to assemble the End
Panels include:
• Polycarbonate panels and white vent tape
• Aluminum U-Channel profile (#104213)
• Aluminum 8' H-Channel profile
• Tek screws (#FA4484B)
• Neo-bonded, galvanized washers (#102921B)
Read the following information before starting:
• U-Channel profile is used to finish the sides and top
edges of the polycarbonate panels.
• H-Channel profile is used to join two (2) separate
polycarbonate panels at the seam.
• Tek Screws and galvanized washers are used to
secure aluminum channel and panels to end wall
frame.
• Install the polycarbonate panels with the UV-protected
side to the outside. Mark this side with a marker if
needed after removing the protective film.
ATTENTION:
The protective film must be removed
from the polycarbonate panels. Allowing the film to
remain intact and in direct sunlight will make the film
difficult if not impossible to remove.
• During preparation, rest the edges of the panels on
cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt
and damage.
• Seal the bottom edge of the panels with white vent
tape.
• Consult the polycarbonate panels (Quick Start section)
for the location and lengths of each panel. The
diagrams are located at the back of these instructions.
ATTENTION:
Panels must be position as shown on the
panel diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can
affect the placement of subsequent panels. In addition, the
amount of aluminum profile used between panels and to
finish the panel edges may not be adequate if additional
seams are created. Begin at the
door end
of the building.
NOTE:
Install all accessories (fans, vents, heaters, etc.)
after installing all polycarbonate sheets.
Complete the following general steps to install the end wall
panels.
1. Consult the panel location diagrams, select one
polycarbonate panel, begin at the edge of the opening
for the double door, and work to the outside edge of the
end wall.
See the X in the diagram below for the first panel.
NOTE:
Remove the protective film. When needed, an
upper panel is cut to length
after
attaching it to the end
wall frame and rafter.
