Step 6: Connection of the front section to the Side Floor
Profiles:
Now attach both Side-Floor Profiles (#1.2) to the front section by
inserting the aluminum-corner connectors with recessed screws
while at the same time sliding the Curved Corner Profiles (#2.1)
into the Side-Floor Profiles. Tighten the recessed screws. (See
picture on left).
Now you will need a third person or devices that can help
you hold the profiles in the air.
Step 7 : Mounting of Curved Center Profiles with 2 Channels
:
Now slide a Curved Center Profile with 2 Channels (#2.2) from the
rear to the front into Side-Floor Profiles (#1.2) Be sure the end
marked with the X is on the bottom. Slide to about 45“ from the
front Corner Profiles.

Step 8: Mounting of the Roof Beam Profile #1.3:
Lift the Roof Beam (#1.3) and, coming from the back, thread the 2
Curved Center Profiles into the channel of the Roof Beam.
Continue moving the roof beam forward until reaching the front
Curved Corner Profiles and thread them onto the end of the Roof
Beam.Cover the end using the Roof Beam Cover plate and fasten
with sheet metal screws 4,2x13
. (See picture on left). Note: Use
3 people for this step: Two to hold up the Curved Profiles and
one to slide the roof beam while standing on a stepladder.
Step 9 : Adding additional Curved Center Profiles #2.2
:
Now add more Curved Center Profiles as necessary (Series II
uses only 1 on each side; III uses 2 on each side and IV uses 3
on each side). Slide each along the Side-Floor Profile as well
as the Roof Beam at the same time. Be careful to move the
profile only inches at a time on each end. Preferably one
person pushes at the bottom while the other pushes at the top.
Use Rubber Mallet! Distance between each set is about 45“.
Important information regarding the Mounting of Polycarbonate Glazing Panels:
Warning
:
Always put the side with the blue protective film towards the outside.
All glazing panels come coated with a special layer of high quality U V inhibiting film,
however this treatment is only applied on one side. In order to identify the U V -coated side a
removable layer of blue protective film has been applied. This film must be removed before
placing the Glazing Panels into any of the channels of the aluminum profiles. Remove
protective film from both sides only one panel at a time as you
install each panel.
Suggestion:
Mark either the inside or the outside of each panel with a dot from a permanent
marker. That way if you later move the greenhouse you will always know which side of the
panels is coated. The Glazing Panels are not marked. Choose the right one like solving a
puzzle! Have a little fun.
Warning
:
Do not leave Glazing Panels with the protective film in bright sunlight as the film
will be permanently glued to the Panels.
