Using T-Bolts
IMPORTANT: This greenhouse is assembled using a unique fastening system. The parts are attached to each other using
connectors fastened with a rectangular headed bolt referred to as a “T-bolt” and secured with a “2-SC cap”.
In this manual you will prepare only the profiles required for each section. This includes installing T-bolts in the
locations needed for the entire assembly. The T-bolts with connectors and S-2C bolts secure the profiles in place.
NOTE: If you are installing T-bolts in profiles that will
remain horizontal you may tighten them with your
fingers. In this manual, you will see “hand tighten”
which means securing in place with a screwdriver.
“Loosen T-bolt” means turning the T-bolt so it is
parallel in the bolt track and moves easily.
Try installing a few T-bolts to determine how
tightly you will need to turn them so they remain
locked in place even if the profiles are knocked
around during installation.
On vertical profiles you will place a nut on the T-bolt, hold the
bracket in place and push the T-bolt (with nut attached loosly)
through slot. The T-bolt will lock into place when nut is tightened.
On horizontal profiles the T-bolts may be slotted into the
profile from the end, slid into position, then then locked
in place by using a screw driver.
On horizontal profiles the T-bolts may be slotted into
the profile from the end, slid into position, then then
locked in place by using included T-5 screwdriver.
NOTE: You may use the verticle technique for attaching
T-bolts on the horizontal profiles if you desire.
Try installing a few T-bolt Assembly’s to determine
how loose the nut needs to be to ensure the head of
the T-bolt clears the profile edges and turns to lock
properly in the profile track.
On vertical profiles you will place a nut on the T-bolt, hold the
bracket in place and push the T-bolt (with nut attached loosly)
through slot. The T-bolt will lock into place when nut is tightened.
On horizontal profiles the T-bolts may be slotted into the
profile from the end, slid into position, then then locked
in place by using a screw driver.
For vertical profiles place a nut on the T-bolt (

T-bolt assembly through slot.
The T-bolt will lock into place when nut is tightened.
