. End wall support is tight to the
top of the sidewall base rail.
13. To this point, all gutter rails are secured to the end wall
frame assemblies and all angle bracket bolts are tight.
14. Continue with installing the ridge beam of the roof.

9. Verify that the end wall lower support is seated to the
top of the sidewall base rail.
10. Tighten the bolt to secure the sidewall base rail to the
end frame lower support.
11. Recheck all bolts to verify they are tight.
12. Repeat the procedure to connect the remaining gutter
rail ends to the end wall frame of the greenhouse to
complete the assembly of the greenhouse lower frame.
IMPORTANT:
See the Exploded Frame diagram in the
Quick Start section if you are assembling the 104715
home-attached greenhouse.
The 104715 frame
includes a 2-piece base rail for the sidewall, a
2-piece gutter rail, and a 2-piece ridge beam.
Photo above may be of a similar but different model.
RIDGE BEAM INSTALLATION
The ridge beam connects the two end wall frame
assemblies at the peak. Because it is the main support of
the roof framing, the ridge beam is installed
before
the roof
rafters.
For the 104715 greenhouse,
consult the
EXPLODED
FRAME COMPONENTS
diagram in the Quick Start section
for important information before you continue.
Complete the following steps to install the ridge beam:
1. Choose a bolt and slide it into the bolt track of the
upper support for one end wall.
NOTE:
Bolt will slide to the bottom of the track. Use a
small piece of tape to keep it near the peak where it is
used.
2. Locate roof parts and unwrap them.
3. Select the ridge beam (this will be the longest frame
member in the package) and position it between the
end wall frames at the peak.
Assemble the beam for
the 104715 frame. See Exploded Frame diagram.
REMEMBER:
Photos show the inside of the
greenhouse unless otherwise noted. All bolt tracks are
positioned to the inside of the greenhouse.
View shows the ridge beam as seen from the outside
looking at the end wall frame.
