END WALL INSTALLATION
The end walls for the greenhouse are installed before the
main cover is attached. The steps to install the end walls
for the greenhouse include the following:
1. Install end wall framing. (See End Wall Diagram at the
end of these instructions for dimensions.)
2. Install chord struts and diagonal wall bracing.
3. Assemble doors and attach to end wall framing.
4. Prepare polycarbonate end panels and attach to end
wall framing.
INSTALL END WALL FRAMING (Front and Back)
Consult the End Wall Diagram at the back of these
instructions for the rough opening dimensions for the
door and the center-to-center dimensions for the end wall
framing.
ATTENTION:
The end wall diagram shows the front wall
and the sidewalls on the same plane. Site variations and
different methods for anchoring the greenhouse will cause
slight changes in these instructions. It is the responsibility
of the owner to adapt these instructions as needed to
adjust for these differences.
1. Locate the square metal tubing for the base rail of
the end wall. The base rail consists of three (3) long
99" swaged sections of square pipe and one (1) short
section cut from a long 96" piece of plain square pipe.
2. Insert the swaged ends of the tubing into the plain ends
to connect the pieces.
3. Position this assembled base rail on the ground
between the legs of the end rafter at the front of the
greenhouse and anchor it in place. This base rail will
be directly below and parallel with the chord of the end
rafter.
END FRAME ANCHORING SUGGESTIONS:
If the
greenhouse is setting on crushed rock or bare ground,
the base rail can be bolted to ground anchors (not
included) set into the ground.
If the greenhouse includes a concrete floor or a
perimeter concrete foundation, the end wall base rail
can be anchored using anchor bolts (not included) set
into the concrete.
If the rafter feet are set on and anchored to 2" boards,
use a QH1330 angle bracket to connect the base rail to
the 2" board.
Photo shows a QH1330 angled bracket and base rail
of the end wall. The bracket is fastened to the base rail
using Tek screws (FA4484).
Consult the End Wall Diagram for a suggestion to use
the 104643 bracket to anchor the end wall frame.
4. After securing the base rail between the legs of the end
rafter, locate the center of the base rail and mark the
location.
5. Consult the End Wall Diagram (back of these
instructions) and mark the rough opening for the width
of the double door assembly.
6. Place five (5) band clamps (QH1402) on the chord of
the end rafter as shown.
Do not tighten the bolts at this
time.

7. Select the tubing for the two vertical frame supports for
the sides of the double door. Each support includes:
• One (1) long 99" section of square tubing (swaged
end): #102897
• One (1) short section of square tubing (plain end).
This is cut from a 96" plain pipe (#104779)
• One (1) 104074 square to round tube bracket
