Quick Release Door Latch:

This is what will be used

most to secure the scissor doors and open them for
venting.

a. At about chest height, attach one half of a 1 3/8" x 1

3/8" kennel clamp to only one of the scissor rails with a
#10 x 3/4" phillips self-drilling tek screw.

b. Repeat for the opposite side, screwing only into the

opposite scissor rail.

c.

Attach a fully threaded 4” x 5/16” carriage bolt to one
half of the ke

nnel clamp with a 5/16” hex nut to hold the

bolt in place.

d.

Complete the latch by inserting the bolt into the opposite kennel clamp and securing with a 5/16”
wingnut.

5.

Poly Latch wire channel:

This is used to hold the end wall plastic on as well as secure the main covering

later on.

a. Start by attaching wire channel to the outside of the end wall bow by using clamps and forming it around

the bow. Start at the hipboard and work all the way over the ridge pole.

b. Secure with #10 x 3/4" phillips self-drilling tek screws about every 12". Adding an extra one at each end

of the channel is a good idea to prevent failure, since the channel has preloaded stress and will want to
spring back quite a bit if allowed.

c. Cut to length just shy of the top of the opposite hipboard and finish off.

d. Cut to length and install a section below the hipboard on that side that finishes just above the footboard.

Repeat for the opposite side of the bow.

6.

Skinning the Endwall:

a. Pull out 12.5' of 40' wide greenhouse

plastic,

cut it off, and cut it down the middle. That
should give you two 12.5' x 20' panels.
Clamp one scissor door rail to one side of
the bow so that it is up and out of

the way.

Allow the support arm on that side to hang
freely straight down. Leave the other rail and
arm connected and secured in place.

b. Lay one of the plastic panels over

the end

wall opening opposite

of the clamped scissor

door rail. One of the wider 20' edges should
lay along the ground.

c. Wrap the panel around the bolted vertical

scissor door rail evenly and secure to the rail
with JSS part# 7035 Snap Clamps every foot
or so.

d. Starting at the top and working down, wire

the other side of the plastic panel into the
channel on that side of the end bow. As you
do this, keep the plastic pulled fairly taut with
one hand so that the plastic is installed
evenly and tightly.
