READ THIS BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The main building and any accessory (end wall, door, etc.)
requires a specific installation sequence.
All buildings
include an instruction guide; each accessory includes an
instruction guide.
Near the beginning of each instruction guide (building or
accessory), you will find information to lead you through
the installation and assembly steps. This information
identifies at what point during the assembly a particular
accessory is installed or attached to the main building
frame.

Mounting Feet (108500) Layout Diagram
Buildings equipped with the 108500 mounting feet require
additional steps for the site preparation. Consult the
Mounting Feet Layout diagram in the Quick Start section
near the back of this guide for the required dimensions.
Do not prepare the site without first consulting the
diagram for the proper dimensions!
Buildings that include
"P01"
within the building
identification number (e.g., R030020
P01
FC01W) are
equipped with the 108500 mounting feet.
For buildings with ground posts, consult the Front Profile
with Ground Post diagram in the Quick Start section to
properly prepare the site.
Buildings that include
"GP1"
within the building
identification number (e.g., R030020
GP1
FC01W) are
equipped with ground posts.
In all instances and regardless of the type and
number of accessories, the main building frame is
always constructed first.
Since we cannot anticipate changes made by the
customer/contractor, all instructions assume the use
of accessories purchased from us to be used on the
building the accessory was designed for. Each instruction
guide presents the basic steps to install the accessory.
When in doubt, consult the services of a qualified
contractor experienced with the assembly of similar
structures. Assemble the main building frame now.
IMPORTANT:
After assembling the greenhouse frame,
choose one of the following procedures to continue the
assembly process based on the greenhouse that was
ordered:
Film Cover Installation with Drop-Down Sides
•
Film Cover Installation with Roll-Up Sides
•
Consult the Table of Contents for the page that each
procedure begins. To confirm what feature (drop-down
or roll-up) you have ordered with your building, complete
these steps (if needed):
Go to http://www.farmtek.com and type the sku
1.
number of your building into the
Catalog Item #
field
near the upper left of the Home Page window.
Verify that you have typed the correct sku # in the
2.
