2-Layer Film Install
IMPORTANT:
To prevent damage
to cover film during installation,
use
additional personnel and lifts as
needed stationed inside frame
.
4. Center side-to-side and end-to-end.
NOTE — ROLL-UP PANELS:
For
small frames, roll-up panel is part of
roof film. It is important to center cover
on frame so each side has an equal
amount of film hanging below ribbon
boards
before securing film to
u-channel
. Do not cut this film off!
It
is the roll-up portion of cover.
5. Once main cover is in place and
centered, begin at peak at one end
and install the 102198A wire spring
into the 102197 u-channel.
ATTENTION:
Ensure enough film is
present to lock into u-channel flashing.
Typically, cover film is cut longer
than required to cover frame end-
to-end. For easier anchoring, allow
approximately 10" to extend past end
rafter as film is anchored. Remove
ropes (if used) after film is secure.
6. Continue down both edges of first end
rafter until film is secured.
7. Pull film toward other end and stretch
gently to remove wrinkles.
2. Along film edge to pull over frame, tie rope (or strap) around a tennis ball, for example, and
toss free end of
rope over frame
. See photo. Not required for small greenhouses; pull cover over by hand when possible.
NOTE:
Evenly space ropes along side. Number of ropes depends on building length; use additional ropes
spaced evenly throughout length to prevent tearing cover when pulled onto frame.
3. After tying ropes to cover,
throw free end of each rope over building
and pull cover onto frame.
