 ROUND PREMIUM  HIGH TUNNELS

Revision date: 01.01.16

BASEBOARD INSTALLATION (RECOMMENDED)

Gather the parts:
•  Treated or recycled plastic lumber (supplied by 

customer).

•  1/4" x 4" Carriage Bolts and 1/4" Nuts

 

 

NOTE:

 The following procedure describes one way 

to install the recommended baseboards. The size 

and type of the baseboard you choose may require 

the use of alternative steps. When properly installed, 

baseboards run the length of the frame.  

 

On the outside of the frame, attach the first baseboard 

to the ground posts using the 1/4" x 4" carriage bolts 

(FAH009B) and nuts (FALB01B). Continue adding 

baseboards to complete the first run. Splices are 

made between posts as shown. Use a short section of 

baseboard to secure separate baseboards at a splice.

Level

Inside of 

Shelter

Outside of 

Shelter

 

NOTE:

 The boards should be at ground level or slightly 

into grade to prevent the shelter from sinking and to 

create a seal along the bottom. After installing the 

baseboards, continue with these instructions.

FINISH ROUGH EDGES

Gather the parts:
•  Duct tape (supplied by customer)
•  Metal file
1.  Check for any sharp edges on the frame and file them 

smooth so they will not cut the cover.

2.  Apply two layers of heavy duct tape on all pipe  

connections and clamps that may contact the cover.

ANCHOR THE ASSEMBLED FRAME

At this point, anchor the high tunnel frame. Consult the 

MUST READ document for anchoring information and 

suggestions. Please call customer service at 1-800-245-

9881 for additional anchoring information.

CAUTION

: The anchor assembly is an integral part of

the high tunnel construction. Improper anchoring may 

cause instability and failure of the structure to perform 

as designed. Failing to anchor the shelter properly 

will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may cause 

serious injury and damage.

This baseboard is 

not included

 with the shipment and must 

be supplied by the customer. Treated or recycled plastic 

lumber works well for a baseboard.

The baseboard, when installed properly, helps prevent the 

ground posts from sinking into the ground when anchored. 

Depending on the building, it also provides a surface to 

attach struts or other building components. 

4.  Use the steps of the previous procedure to install the 

top, center purlin.

INSTALL TOP, CENTER PURLIN (continued)

5.  Continue with the next procedure.  

One pipe of the top, center purlin 

installed. Continue by installing 

the remaining pipe and clamps.
