CURVED GLASS BAR WITH SLIDERS (#1 OR #2)
Each glass bar is marked with a number (1, 2, 3 . . .) to correspond with the number on the
ridge. Slide the bolt into the top of the glass bar and line it up with the slot in the ridge. Move
up the bolt and fasten it. Do the same for the bottom of the glass bar. Slide in the bolt, push
it down against the side base/sill. Bolt it on. Do this for all the glass bars with sliders and
numbers
(The end of the bar should be tight to the base and ridge
).
(See Step 5 Detail, page 16)
6.
VENTFRAME ANGLE
The ventframe angle is 50” long with the ends cut out to fit between the two glass bars with
sliders
.
Put the head of the bolt into the punch out in the glass bar (24” from the top), slide
the bolt up and fasten it to the ventframe on the bar. Make sure that the angle flanges are
facing toward the sidewall (down) and that it is pushed up against the side sliders (already
on the glass bar). Do this for all of them.
(See Step 6 Detail, page 17)
7.
GLASS BARS
Bolt on all the remaining glass bars. Make sure that the top and bottom is tight against the
ridge and base.
(See Step 7 Detail, page 18)
8.
GUTTER
The gutter is also used as a spacebar. The gutter is located just below the curve approximately
54” up from the base
(The glass bar should be notched out for it)
. Use #8 x 1/2” screws to fasten
the gutter to the glass bar
(Keep the gutter to the top of the notch)
.
(See Step 8 Detail, page 19)
9.
ROOF PURLIN (CHANNEL)
When installing the roof purlin, mark it out by measuring from the ridge. The roof purlin
should be located
(refer to drawings for purlin placement)
. In larger greenhouses, the purlin
may be located about the center between the ridge and the top of the curve. Always face the
open end of the purlin up towards the ridge so that it can be used for hanging baskets. Every
glass bar has notches punched out so that the head of the bolts can be inserted and can slide
up or down on the bar.
(See Step 9 Detail, page 20)
10. CENTER BARS
Fasten the center glass bar in each end wall. Use a 1”x 2”x 1” small angle with a 1/4” hole
drilled in the 2” side. Put a bolt in the center glass bar and attach the small angle to it. Slide it
up to the ridge.
It will be on a 24-degree angle.
Clamp it on with vice grips. Then drill a 9/64”
hole in the ridge and screw on the glass bar. Make sure that the glass bar lines up the same as
the other bars in the front and back.
The 10-foot wide Pride of the Pacific Model does not have this
center bar in the back wall.
(See Step 10 Detail, page 20)
11. TAPE ALL GLASS BARS
Complete all taping with the 1/8” foam gasket.
NOTE:
Side vents need to be installed before
taping the bars.
