Installing the aluminium foil tape to the top edges of the Polycarbonate
cladding. And installing the 20mm square strongbacks and double sided tape

Aluminium silver tape is supplied for the top edges of all Polycarbonate sheets to seal these off. Apply a strip of the aluminium
tape along the top edge of all sheets and fold it over to prevent water ingress. The bottom edge of sheets are not sealed so that
allow water to drain away that might collect
20mm square Aluminium Strongbacks are supplied with this Polycarbonate greenhouse to strengthen the Polycarbonate sheeting
(assist in preventing it from bowing) and to give improved performance in windy conditions.
You will need to fit a 75mm piece of the white double sides 3mm thick foam tape to each end of each strongback.
The strongbacks are positioned as shown in the below pictures and the drawing on the follow page (

red lines

). You can place them

in position by using the double sided tape at their ends to adhere them initially into place. Then use the stainless steel PK screw
and washer to retain and push the stongback to the frame and cladding.
