After fixing the polycarbonate sheets, mount the hinges, latches, tower bolts, and hooks on the door and
the vent (
Figure 4
) using screws with a pressure pad (
Figure 5)
. The latches are used to fix the doors and vents
in the closed position. The tower bolt is used for connecting the door and the vent into a single unit, which can
be easily opened or closed (for example to conveniently enter the greenhouse). The hook is used to fix the vent
or the combined door / vent unit in the open position. All the hardware should be mounted on top of polycarbonate
sheets.
After installing the hardware, make cuts along the door opening perimeter and between the door and the
vent.
Attention!
The cuts along the door opening and between the door and the vent can be made only after
fixing the polycarbonate sheets to the end-walls and installing the hardware on top of them. It is absolutely
forbidden to fix to the door and vent and cut polycarbonate sheets separately from the side-walls – after
subsequent mounting of the door and the vent, there will be openings between the door / vent sheets and the
end-wall sheets, which will cancel the greenhouse effect .
