Step 6.
Repeat Step 5 to attach 6 more Cross Braces to the spots shown in Figure
5.
NOTE:
You should have 2 Cross Braces left.
Step 7.
Repeat Step 5 again to attach a Short Cross Braces to each end of the
Tunnel, as shown in Figure 6.
Step 8.
Carefully rotate the Frame onto its side and slide the Staked Supports
onto the attached Angled Supports (Figure 7). Carefully rotate the Frame back
upright.
Step 9.
Attach the 2 remaining Cross Braces to the newly attached Staked
Supports about 12-14" from the bottom, so you have space to insert the
Staked Supports into the ground (Figure 7).
Step 10.
Carefully unfold the Netting and spread it over the Frame.
NOTE:
We
recommend using a Step Ladder or rotating the Frame onto its side again so
that you can reach. Loop the Netting into the hooks on the ends of the Cross
Braces to secure it (Figure 8).
Step 11.
Press the Staked Supports into the
ground at least 6-8", making sure it is secure.
Your assembly is complete!
The Squash Tunnel frame is weatherproof
and may be left outdoors all year. However,
to increase the longevity of the Netting, we
recommend you store it in a protected location
during winter months if you experience cold
temperatures, snow or ice.
