INSTALL END WALL FRAMING (BACK)
Greenhouse end walls (front and back) are identical except
as noted below and on end frame diagrams.
If back wall includes optional double door kit (additional
purchase required), repeat End Wall Installation procedure
and install framing for remaining end wall.
If back wall
does not
include an optional double door kit,
consult the end frame diagram
to install the vertical frame
tubes in the framed door opening.
Dashed lines show where additional frame tubes are
installed when the optional double door is not present.
Consult the end frame diagram for additional information.
1. Read note regarding installation of optional accessories
at the beginning of the end wall installation section.
2. Cut tubes to required length and attach to end wall
framing.
3. Install frame tubes as previous described.
END PANEL INSTALLATION
After end frames are assembled, install the polycarbonate
panels. Steps that follow describe one way to complete the
end wall panel installation.
Materials and parts needed to install end panels include:
• Polycarbonate panels and white vent tape
• Aluminum U-Channel profile (#104213)
• Aluminum 8' H-Channel profile
• Tek screws (#FA4484B)
• Neo-bonded, galvanized washers (#102921B)
Read the following information before starting:
• U-channel (104213) is used to finish sides and top
edges of some polycarbonate panels.
• Aluminum 8' H-Channel is used to join two (2) separate
polycarbonate panels at the seam.
• FA4484B Tek screws and 102921B galvanized washers
are used to secure aluminum channel and panels to
end wall frame.
• Install polycarbonate panels with UV-protected side
to the outside toward the sun. Mark this side with a
marker if needed after removing the protective film.
ATTENTION:
Protective film must be removed from the
polycarbonate panels.
Allowing film to remain intact
and in direct sunlight will make the film difficult if
not impossible to remove.
• During preparation, rest panel edges on cardboard or
other material to protect them from dirt and damage.
• Seal bottom edge of panels with white vent tape.
• Consult polycarbonate panels (Quick Start section) for
the location and lengths of each panel. The diagrams
are located near the back of these instructions.
ATTENTION:
Panels must be positioned as shown on
panel diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can
affect placement of subsequent panels. In addition, the
amount of aluminum profile used between panels and to
finish panel edges may not be adequate if additional seams
are created. Begin at the
door end
of the building.
INSTALLING ACCESSORIES
Install all accessories (fans, vents, heaters, etc.) after
installing all polycarbonate sheets.
