assemble the shelter. Additional tools and supports may be
needed depending on the structure, location, and
application.

GREENHOUSE PARTS
All greenhouse sections (e.g., roof, sides, end walls, etc.)
ship individually in numbered boxes. The quantity of boxes
may differ depending on the greenhouse.
To prevent mixing the parts while assembling the
greenhouse, select the boxes as instructed and open that
box only and assemble its contents.
OPEN BOXES AS INSTRUCTED TO PREVENT MIXING
OF THE CONTENTS.
NOTE:
Some photos and diagrams throughout these
instructions may show a greenhouse with slightly different
dimensions, color, or design. The assembly procedures
are identical regardless of these differences. Notable
differences are addressed.
For a quick overview of this greenhouse, consult the
diagrams in the Quick Start section near the back of these
instructions.
Those not familiar with the assembly of similar structures
and the use of common hand tools
must seek the
assistance
of someone with such experience.
PART IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
All main parts include a stamped ID number. Use this
number when selecting the required parts during the
assembly.

NOTE:
The locations of the part numbers on the
components may vary. Refer to the Bill of Materials shipped
within each box for a description of each part.
WARNING:
Do not allow the polycarbonate panels to
remain in direct sunlight until they are installed. Doing
so will cause the protective film to become difficult if not
impossible to remove.
Consult Page 32 for additional polycarbonate
information. And, Step 10 on that page, for "how to use
vent tape" (additional purchase required) information
before
installing any polycarbonate panel.
