INSTALL MAIN COVER
Gather the parts:
• Main covers and inflation fan kit
• U-Channel spring (#102198)
• Ropes long enough to reach over the frame (provided
by customer)
• Box cutter or utility knife
Assembly Procedure
After the poly latch U-channel is attached to the frame,
unpack the main cover and pull into place. Ropes or straps
are typically used to pull the main cover onto and over the
frame.
WARNING:
To prevent damage to the cover and to
prevent serious personal injury, DO NOT attempt to
install the main cover on windy or stormy days.
Consult the Spec Sheets for cover identification. The
greenhouse is equipped with double-layer main cover and
an inflation fan kit. One cover is pulled into position and
anchored to the frame, then the inflation kit is installed, and
finally the last main cover is attached.

INSTALL POLY LATCH U-CHANNEL
Gather the parts:
• Aluminum U-Channel (#102197)
• Ribbon board (supplied by customer)
Customer
supplies all fasteners to attach ribbon board and
U-Channel to the frame
.
1. Measure the desired height (4-5 feet) to identify the top
of the roll-up sides.
NOTE:
Attach the poly latch channel at approximately
4-5 feet above the ground on both sides of the frame.
Attaching a ribbon board (not included) to the rafters
and then attaching the poly-latch U-Channel to the
ribbon board is recommended for the best results.
Consult the diagram below for clarification.
NOTE:
Ribbon board and baseboard (recommended)
shown in the diagram above
are not included
and are
supplied by the customer.
2. Attach one section of the poly latch U-channel to the
side of the frame. Attach U-channel flush with the
outside edge of the end wall panels.
NOTE:
The single poly latch is attached to the sides
and tops of the end rafters.
3. Continue to attach the U-channel sections to the rafters
(or ribbon board if used) and work toward the other end
of the frame. Cut the last section of U-channel to the
required length so that it is flush with the end wall panel
(if needed).
4. Repeat these steps for the remaining side.
5. After
attaching the U-channel to the sides of the frame,
attach the single U-channel to the top edge of the end
rafters.
Insert shows the installation of poly latch U-channel on
top of an end rafter. The poly latch U-channel will bend
with the curve of the rafter as it is attached.
6. Continue to attach the U-channel until it has been
installed on the top of
both end rafters
.
