After all parts are identified, the site is prepared, and the
Must Read document is read, assemble the base for the
greenhouse. The following steps describe one way to
assemble the greenhouse.
RECYCLED PLASTIC BASE BOARDS
ATTENTION:
The longer boards may exceed 96".
Measure and cut these to 96" if needed.
The
front and back/open side base assemblies
are
identical. Each includes two (2) lengths of plastic lumber:
•
1 section @ 44"
•
1 section @ 96"
The
two end base assemblies
are identical. Each
includes two (2) lengths of plastic lumber:
•
1 section @ 32"
•
1 section @ 96"
The boards for the recycled plastic base are positioned
end-to-end. The joints
are not
secured with any
brackets. See the following diagrams.
Back/Open Side
Front
NOTE:
The front and back base boards are positioned
between (or to the inside) of the door and non-door end
base as shown to achieve the required length and width.
This base can be placed on the site before or after
assembling the metal base.
The metal base is attached to the plastic lumber base
using A-Angle brackets
after
the panels are secured to
the metal frame. This prevents placing the A-Angled
brackets in a position that interferes with the installation
of panel brackets.
ASSEMBLE THE METAL FRAME BASE
Locate the following brackets and tubes needed to
assemble the frame base:
Required tubes for each side/end:
Front and Back/Open: 1 length @ 48" (plain)
1 length @ 99" (swaged)
Door End:
1 length @ 25" (plain)
1 length @ 61" (plain)
Non-Door End:
1 length @ 27" (plain)
1 length @ 99" (swaged)
1. Assemble the metal frame as shown below:
NOTE:
Do not
seat the plain pipe tightly to the swaged
pipe. The separate pipes must be allowed to adjust
outward during assembly to allow proper panel fit.
