NOTE:
Remember to measure and account for the width of the
H-channel when cutting the PolyCor™ cover material to size. Consult
the Cover Frame diagrams for cover length details.
During the installation, it may be helpful to predrill the holes for the Tek
screws to get the screw started in the rafter. Use a drill and drill bit (1/8"
or smaller) if you predrill the holes.
1. After cutting the PolyCor™ material to the desired length and width
for the cover, install the H-channel trim on the ends of the cover.
2. With the H-channel trim on both ends of the cover, bend the
H-channel over each end rafter and attach as shown. For best
results, install Tek screws through the H-channel and PolyCor™.
NOTE:
Verify that the length of the cover with the H-channel
installed fits within the base frame. Remove H-channel and trim
cover to size for a proper fit if needed.
The 105146 cold frame has an H-channel splice between the end
rafters where sections of the PolyCor™ cover meet.
See the Cover
Frame diagram
.
Helpful Hints
: The edges of the main cover are trimmed with the white,
vinyl H-channel. This trim is typically installed after the PolyCor™ is cut
to the proper size and
before
the cover is attached to the cover frame.
Consult the following for the location of the trim and how to attach it.
Dashed lines show the location of the H-channel. The 105146 cold
frame has an H-channel splice
between
the end rafters where sections
of the cover meet.
Consult the diagrams near the back of these
instructions to assemble properly.
