6. Return to each double U-channel splice and secure
the splice using an 8" section of U-Channel cut from
the remaining U-Channel. Attach the 8" splice section
to the inside of the greenhouse as shown below. Install
Tek screws from outside shelter.
7. Return to each end panel attached to the end wall and
install a section of aluminum U-Channel (#104213)
along the edges between the double U-channel and
the ground. See the dashed line in the greenhouse
diagram near the top of the left column.
8. Continue by installing the roll-up side panels.
View shows a splice as seen from inside the
greenhouse. Dashed line indicates the ends of the
longer U-Channel sections attached to the rafters on
the outside.
NOTE:
Remove any Tek screws and washers that
interfere with the installation of the double U-channel.
The double U-channel must install flat against the
polycarbonate panels.
3. Take additional 8' sections of double U-Channel, attach
these to the rafters, and work toward the other end of
the frame.
4. Measure and cut the last section of double U-Channel
so that it is flush with the end wall panel.
5. Repeat the steps to install the double U-Channel along
the remaining side of the greenhouse.
NOTE:
The 2' remainder of the section is used to splice
the longer 8' sections together after they are attached
to the frame.
2.
Position the 6' section of double U-channel flush with
the outside edge of the end wall panels at one end of
the frame, verify that the double U-Channel is level,
and using a Tek screw, secure the double U-channel to
the first two rafters.

ATTENTION:
Consult the Main Cover Details diagram
in the Quick Start section of this manual to determine
where to install the double poly latch U-Channel.
The
required distance from the finished grade to the
bottom of the double poly latch U-Channel is 42".
1. Take the first section of double U-Channel (#104211)
and cut a 6' length from that section.
INSTALL THE DOUBLE POLYLATCH U-CHANNEL
The double poly latch U-Channel (#104211) is attached to
each side of the frame and runs from the front to the back
of the greenhouse. Tek screws are used to secure the
U-Channel to each rafter and to secure the splice where
two separate U-Channel sections meet between two
rafters.
NOTE:
When installed properly, the U-Channel is aligned
with the bottom of each polycarbonate panel.
Gather the parts:
• Aluminum U-Channel profile (#104213)
• Double poly latch U-Channel (#104211)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B)
