End Panel Installation
END PANEL INSTALLATION
The steps that follow describe one way to complete the
polycarbonate panel installation. The materials and parts
needed to install the polycarbonate panels include:
‡
Polycarbonate panels (clear and black-out) and vent
tape (#104774)
‡
Expandable foam weather stripping (#111983)
‡
Aluminum H-channel (#113236Z127), aluminum end
cap channel (#104548) and aluminum U-channel
profile (#104213)
‡
Tek screws (#FA4484B) and neo-bonded, galvanized
washers (#102921B)
Read the following information before starting:
‡
U-channel (104213) is used to finish the
polycarbonate panel edges around door and vent
openings.
‡
H-channel (113236Z127) is used to join polycarbonate
panels at the seams and to splice the black-out
polycarbonate panels and the clear polycarbonate
panels at the level of the horizontal end wall headers.
‡
Expandable foam weather stripping (111983) is
used to line the outside facing planes of the end wall
headers to light-seal the gaps around obstructions
when the black-out polycarbonate panels are
installed.
‡
Tek Screws and neo-bonded washers are used to
secure aluminum channel and panels to end wall
framing.
‡
Install the polycarbonate panels with the UV-protected
side to the outside. Mark this side with a marker if
needed
after removing the protective film. "NO DRIP"
side of the black-out polycarbonate goes to the inside
of the greenhouse.
ATTENTION: Remove the protective film from the
polycarbonate panels. Do not stack panels in direct
sunlight. Allowing the film to remain intact and in direct
sunlight will make the film difficult if not impossible to
remove.
‡
During preparation, rest the edges of the panels on
cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt
and damage.
‡ Do not install panels on a windy or stormy day or
when such conditions are expected.
‡
Consult the polycarbonate panel layouts in the
technical documents towards the end of these
instructions for the location and lengths of each
panel. The diagrams are located at the back of these
instructions
.
ATTENTION: Position panels as shown on the panel
diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can affect
the placement of subsequent panels. In addition, the
amount of aluminum profile used between panels may not
be adequate if additional seams are created.
POLYCARBONATE PANELS FOR END WALL VENT
Polycarbonate panels for the vent are cut from the
larger panels used to cover the end wall.
To cut the panels to size, measure each opening of the
vent frame and cut a panel to cover the opening. Cut
the panel approximately 1/4"
smaller
than the actual
size of the opening to allow for expansion.
REMEMBER: Panel slides into the top rail channel and
sits tight to the top of the bottom rail when properly cut
and installed.
Tape the open cells at the top and bottom of each panel
using 104774 vent tape.

Vent Tape
Panel
Apply tape to the lower end
of all lower panels and to
the upper end of all upper
panels to seal the cell
openings.
Always remove the protective film and mark and install
the UV-protected side to the outside of the greenhouse.
