REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the shelter. Additional tools and supports may be
needed.
• Tape measure or measuring device
• Marker to mark locations on the pipes
• Variable speed clutched drill driver (cordless with
extra batteries works best)
• Saw to cut metal and polycarbonate panels
• Wrenches and impact socket set, or an adjustable
wrench
• Scissors, utility knife, or tin snips
• Hammers, rubber mallet, and gloves
• Flat bar or putty knives for panel installation
• Drill bit set that includes a 5/16" bit
• Chalk line
• Caulk gun to apply sealant
• Adjustable pliers and self-locking pliers
• Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for lifting
designed to work safely at the height of the building

QUICK START GUIDE
For a quick overview of the building and its components,
consult the information and diagrams in the Quick Start
section near the back of these instructions.
SPECIAL NOTE: Baseboards for Frame
These instructions describe installing a baseboard
(recommended) at ground level along each side of the
frame. The baseboard runs from the front to the back of the
frame.
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 (if equipped) or other building components.
If used, the baseboard is installed after the roof panels.
Suggested baseboard dimensions: 2" x 6" (minimum).
Length determined by greenhouse. See page 32 for
additional baseboard comments.
ASSEMBLY NOTE:
Install Tek screws using a clutched
drill driver running approximately 750 RPM while applying
approximately 50 lbs of force.
Do not use an impact driver to install Tek screws!
UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS
The following steps will ensure that you have all the
necessary parts
before
you begin to assemble the shelter
frame.
1. Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where
you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of
Materials/Spec Sheets.
2. Verify that all parts listed on the Bill of Materials/Spec
Sheets are present. If anything is missing or you have
questions, consult the Pictorial Parts Guide and all
diagrams for clarification, or contact Customer Service.
NOTE:
At this time, you do not need to open the plastic
bags containing smaller parts such as fasteners or
washers (if equipped).
