Construction Guide

Ridge Assembly

Your PPP has a central ridge that suspends 
underneath each of your hoops.
On 10ft and 15ft PPP the ridge tube comes in 
sections, you will need to assembly these sections 
together as in 

(dia 6a & 6b)

. When assembling the 

ridge tube to the hoops make sure that the screw 
heads are on the inside, so they don’t damage the 
covering. 
This ridge is fixed onto the hoop using the ridge 
clamps (R2525).

 

Tighten the end clamps with the 

end of the ridge tube protruding as little as possible 
through the clamp. On the end hoops, make sure the 
threaded section of the clamp is to the inside of the 
PPP 

(dia 11)

. Use the silver protection tape (SPT1) to 

wrap around the ridge clamps and ridge tube ends 
to prevent any damage to the cover 

(dia 11 detail)

.

Ventilation Legs

Ventilation legs (25/50FS) fix onto the bolts of the 
corner brackets that’s used to fix the timber side rail. 
Fix the leg onto the bolt using the supplied Nyloc 
nut (M8NYLOC) 

(dia 12)

. This allows the leg to swivel 

into a position that holds the PPP off the ground for 
ventilation 

(dia 12 detail)

, alternatively they can be 

folded away when not in use.

Covering

Whichever cover you choose, the method of fixing is 
the same. Lay the cover over the frame and centralise 
in each direction 

(dia 13)

Starting at one end of the PPP, use a staple gun 
to staple the cover in the centre of one of the end 
timbers 

(dia 14)

.

At the opposite end pull the cover tight along the 
length and once again staple the cover to the centre 
of the end timber rail.
