Construction Guide
Please use the checklist supplied with your Portable
Plant Protector (PPP) to identify the individual parts
and components.
Although every care is taken when packing and
dispatching your PPP, errors sometimes do occur.
Please contact us if you have any missing or
damaged components.
If you experience any difficulties during construction
please call us for assistance.
Tools Required:
Battery Drill, Sharp Knife, Saw (for timber), Staple
Gun & Staples, 13mm Spanner, 9mm Drill Bit, 4mm
Drill Bit, Tape Measure, Hammer
Timber Base Rail Assembly
Parts Required:
NP3, CCT25, TBR125, TBR18, TBR32
A 5ft length PPP will be supplied with a timber
length of 5ft 11in (1.8m) (TBR18).
A 10ft length PPP will be supplied with a timber
length of 10ft 6in (3.2m) (TBR32).
A 15ft length PPP will be supplied with timber
lengths of 5ft 11in (1.8m) & 10ft 6in (3.2m) (TBR18 &
TBR32).
The timber base rails for the PPP is supplied with 3in
x 2in pressure treated timber.
The timber base rail for the ends is supplied ready
cut at a length of 4ft 1in (1.25m) (TBR125). The
timber for the length will be supplied longer than
required - you are required to cut it down to size
(dia 1)
.
If you have purchased a 15ft long PPP you are
required to join TBR18 and the TBR32 through the
use of the Nail Joiners (NP3)
(dia 2)
.
The timber length rail should be nailed to the timber
end rail using the 4in nails from the two corner
clamp packs (CCT25).
Use a 4mm drill bit to create a
pilot hole, this will assist you when nailing the two
pieces together
(dia 4a)
.
The two timber length rails
should overlap the end rail, i
.
e
.
leaving the internal
measurement of the base at 4ft 1in (1.25m)
(dia 3)
.
You are now required to fit the other end rail, but as
mentioned earlier the length of timber supplied for
the base will be longer than is required. The length
should be fixed so that the internal measurement of
the timber base equals the length of you chosen PPP,
ie 5ft, 10ft or 15ft use the ridge tube as a guide
(dia 3)
.
Fix the end rail in position as described above, trim
off the overhang
(dia 4b)
.
TIP
Your PPP is supplied with a central ridge that
when assembled also measures 5ft, 10ft or
15ft
(See Ridge assembly)
. If you lay this
internally and adjacent to the timber rail, you
can use this as a form of template. Butt the
end rail up to the ridge and fix to the timber
rail length as described.
