ANCHOR THE ASSEMBLED FRAME

At this point, anchor greenhouse frame. Consult the 

MUST READ document for anchoring information and 

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

9881 for additional anchoring information if needed.

CAUTION

: The anchor assembly is an integral part 

of

the greenhouse 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.

SQUARE TUBING INSTALLATION

Use the 102897 square tubing for all end wall framing. Use 

the 104779 square tubing (plain ends) to secure the seam 

between the roof panels.
