SQUARING THE ASSEMBLED FRAME (continued)
ANCHOR THE SHELTER
At this point, anchor the frame. Once the frame is anchored
properly, continue with these instructions.
WARNING
: Securing the rafter footings to wood boards
set on the site is not a substitute for properly anchoring
the shelter. You must anchor the shelter as described in
the MUST READ document.
FAILING TO PROPERLY ANCHOR THE SHELTER
WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SHELTER AND
MAY CAUSE PERSONAL INJURY.
READ THE MUST READ DOCUMENT TO PROPERLY
ANCHOR THE SHELTER.
The photo to the right
shows how an auger
anchor is attached to
one rafter leg.
Consult the MUST
READ document for
additional information
about anchoring the
shelter.
ATTACH BAND CLAMPS FOR CABLING
Cables attached to both ends of the shelter provide the
diagonal bracing for the shelter. Band clamps secure the
cable bracing to the shelter.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Complete the following steps,
but DO
NOT tighten the cable assemblies at this time
. All cable
assemblies for all bays will be tightened after the frames for
each bay are assembled and connected.
Ten (10) 103856 band clamps are used on each side of the
frame to secure the cable ends. Consult the diagram below
and in the Quick Start section for cable locations for your
greenhouse.
Complete these steps to install the band clamps:
1. Remove the nut and bolt from the clamp, carefully bend
the band clamp open, and slide it over rafter in the
proper location.
2. With the clamp in place, use a channel lock pliers to
squeeze the clamp back into shape and reinstall the
bolt and nut.
Do not fully tighten at this time.
3. Slightly tighten the nut and bolt or use a small piece of
duct tape to hold the clamp in position.
4. Continue by assembling the cables.
