Install Corrugated Panels
APPLY SEALANT
In addition to the installation the individual corrugated
panels, applying sealant at different joints and seams
throughout the greenhouse can help seal the structure.
The application of sealant is left to the discretion of the
owner or contractor and is typically completed when a
tighter seal between components is desired. A few tubes
of
sealant are supplied with the building. Additional tubes
if needed are supplied by the customer.
Though a complete air and water-tight seal may not
possible, taking the following steps may help maintain a
more stable interior environment.
NOTE:
The amount of sealant used to seal the
greenhouse varies with the size of the applied bead.
Purchase sealant locally or by calling your sales
representative.
Inspect the assembled greenhouse and apply sealant
1.
in those areas where additional sealing is desired.
At both ends of the building, apply a bead of silicone
2.
along the edge of the corrugated roof panel where it
meets the 108867 end cap. See dashed line in the
diagrams below.
Seal all holes created during the assembly of the
3.
greenhouse if any.
Continue by installing the sidewall trim and panels.

INSTALL SIDEWALL 108939 TRIM
Complete these steps to attach the 108939 aluminium
trim to each corner of the building.
At one corner, measure the length needed to cover
1.
the distance from the ground to the top of the sidewall.
Take a section of the 108939 aluminum trim and cut it
2.
to the length determined in Step 1.
Place the trim
3.
against the sidewall hat channel
, align
it with the 108867 end cap
attached to the end rafter
,
and secure trim to the hat channel using one Tek
screw at each hat channel.
Center the Tek screw with
the center of the rafter leg or ground post.
