ATTACH END PANELS
CAUTION:
To prevent damage, do not install end
panels on a windy day.
Gather the parts:
• End Panels 3-Zip (Zippered)
• Fabric Clips #CC6212 (Evenly space at 24" on-center.)
• Measuring tape
• Scissors or similar cutting tool
1. Spread an end panel out on the ground at the desired
end of the frame and center the end panel as needed.
2. With the proper lift (or ladders) positioned inside the
frame, pull the end panel up and over the top of the
end rafter.
3. Secure the end panel to the backside of the end rafter
at the top, center position using a fabric clip and Tek
screw.
4. Moving outward in both directions, continue attaching
fabric clips to secure the end panel to the rafter.
Evenly space the fabric clips at approximately 24"
intervals and work toward the ground.
5. Pull the lower edge of the panel under the end conduit
and secure each corner flap to the inside of the conduit
using a fabric clip and Tek screw.
NOTE:
If needed, remove or loosen the two Tek screws
on the angled brackets so the end panel can be pulled
under the end conduit. With the panel in place reattach
the conduit and secure the end panel to it.
6. Repeat the steps to secure the other end panel to the
frame as previously described.
NOTE:
The end panels may be shipped as untrimmed
rectangular pieces. If so, use scissors to trim the
excess end panel material from inside the frame after
attaching the panels to the end rafters.
MAIN COVER INSTALLATION
After the end panels are installed, install the main cover.
The steps to install the main cover include:
1. Attach poly latch U-Channel (102197) along the high
tunnel sides and tops of the high tunnel end rafters
using FA4482B Tek screws.
2. Pull main cover over the frame.
3. Attach the main cover to the end rafters using the poly
latch springs.
4. Stretch and attach main cover to the sides of the frame.
5. Install roll-up side kits and test the operation of the
twist-of-the-wrist assembly.
INSTALL POLY LATCH U-CHANNEL (102197)
1. Measure the desired height (4'-5') to identify the top
of the roll-up sides. Attach the poly latch channel at
approximately 4'-5' above the ground on both sides of
the frame.
RECOMMENDED:
Attach a ribbon board
(2" x 4"
or 2" x 6")
to the rafters and then attach the poly
latch U-channel (102197) to the ribbon board using
customer-supplied wood screws.
NOTE:
Ribbon board and baseboard (recommended)
shown in the diagram above
are not included
and are
supplied by the customer
. Use the supplied FAH009B
(1/4" x 4") carriage bolts and FALB01B (1/4") nuts to
secure the ribbon board and U-Channel to the rafter.
Use customer-supplied wood screws to secure
U-channel to ribbon board. Do not use Tek screws
to attach U-Channel to wood.
NO RIBBON BOARD:
Attach one section of the poly
latch U-Channel to the side of the frame using Tek
screws. Attach U-Channel flush with the outside edge
of the end rafter at each end of the assembled frame.
