Helpful Hints
-
Singleskin: Remove all slack from film and gently stretch cover so that film is under moderate “rebound” tension.
-
Twinskin: Remove the majority of any drooping film between the rafters and then allow Twinskin air pressure to tension film, avoid excessive
wrinkling at edge and always provide an air escape exhaust.
CAUTION: DO NOT OVERLY PRE-TENSION TWINSKIN COVERS Unless experienced, always install a manometer air pressure gauge prior to
inflating.
Trimming-Off
Leave a tag of film behind the clipping system of approximately 50-75mm Note: If skinning work is being completed Mid Autumn to Mid Spring
especially on shallow pitch structures below 22degrees of pitch it may become necessary to re-tension covers over warmer month’s when films may
slacken. This may incur additional labour costs.
Follow the greenhouse film handling guidelines & Duralock fastening installation instructions to ensure general cover longevity and reliability.
Fitment of roof isolation battens will be required on flatter roof truss designs.
