3. Throw ropes over top of greenhouse and pull film into
place.
ASSISTANCE IS REQUIRED.
4. Center cover side-to-side and end-to-end.
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage to the main cover
during installation, additional personnel and lifts may
be needed.
Verify that you have installed the IR film
according to the markings shown on the film.
Film is cut longer/wider than is required to cover the
greenhouse. For easier anchoring, allow approximately
10" to extend past the edge of the end rafter as film is
anchored into place.
5. Once film is in place and centered, begin at the peak
of one end rafter and install wire spring (102198) into
u-channel to secure film.
ATTENTION:
Confirm film is centered front-to-back
and side-to-side to ensure enough material is present
to lock into u-channel. Excess film along each side is
rolled up when roll-up side assemblies are installed.
Rope (or straps) can remain in place to temporarily
secure film. Remove these as film is secured.
6. Continue installing spring along top of first end rafter;
ensure an even amount of film is maintained along
edge of greenhouse.
7. Continue down both edges of first end rafter until entire
length of film is secured.
8. Move to other end rafter and repeat steps to secure
film in u-channel.
9. After stretching film end-to-end and securing it in the
u-channel, move to one side of the greenhouse and
repeat the steps to anchor film in the u-channel.
NOTE:
Maintain an even length as working along the
side to minimize wrinkles. The final stretching of film
takes place when the last side is secured.
10. After securing the first side, move to the other side,
stretch film, and secure it in place.
Photos show installing wire spring into u-channel on
the outside of greenhouse. Process is the same for
u-channel attached to the end rafters.
INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
Attach main cover film to 102197 u-channel.
NOTE:
Pull film tight as the spring is inserted into the
u-channel.
11. Once first layer of film is installed, install the inflation
fan kit in the desired location according to instructions
sent with the kit.
ATTENTION:
Install the inflation fan kit
before
installing
the second layer of film.
Consult the instructions
included with the inflation fan kit to install the kit.
