6. The rope can remain in place to temporarily secure the
cover. Remove the ropes as the covers are secured to
the greenhouse.
7. As the spring is install the spring into the U-channel
at the top of the first end rafter, ensure that an even
amount of the cover is exposed and maintained along
the edge of the greenhouse.
NOTE:
The cover material is cut longer/wider than
is required to cover the greenhouse. For easier
anchoring, allow approximately 10" to extend past the
edge of the end rafter as the cover is anchored into
place.
8. Continue down both edges of the first end rafter until
the entire length of the end of the main cover film is
secured in place.
9. Move to the other end of the building and repeat the
steps to secure the main cover in the U-channel.
10. After the cover is stretched end-to-end and secured
using the spring and U-channel, move to one side of
the greenhouse and repeat the steps to anchor the
cover film to the first side.
NOTE:
Begin at one end of the U-channel and work
toward the other. Another option is to begin at the
middle of each side and work towards each end.
Maintain an even length as working along the side. The
final stretching of the cover will take place when the
last side is secured.
INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
Attach main cover to Poly Latch U-Channel.
11. After securing the first side, move to the remaining
side, stretch the cover, and secure it in place.
NOTE:
Pull the cover tight as the spring is inserted into
the U-channel.
12. Once the first cover is stretched and secure, install the
inflation fan kit in the desired location and according to
the instructions sent with the kit.
Install the Inflation Fan Kit
before
installing the second
main cover. Consult the instructions included with the
Inflation Fan Kit to install the kit.
13. After installing the inflation fan kit, repeat the steps to
install the film for the second main cover.
NOTE:
When installing the second cover film, use the
same U-channel used for the first cover film, and a
second run of spring, which is installed on top of the
first U-channel spring already in the channel.
The excess material along the sides is rolled up in the
roll-up side assembly.
14. With the second cover film layer installed, test the
operation of the inflation fan kit.
IMPORTANT:
If trimming the excess cover material at
the ends (not the sides), DO NOT remove too much of
the excess material.
Some excess main cover material (the material that
extends beyond the end rafters) should remain in place
to more easily re-stretch the film if needed.
15. Continue with the Install the
Roll-up Side Assemblies
procedure.
INSTALL ROLL-UP SIDE ASSEMBLIES
The instructions below describe how to install a single
roll-up sidewall assembly for one side of the frame. The
procedure is repeated for the remaining side.
The procedures to install the roll-up side include the
following:
1. Assemble the roll-up side conduit.
2. Attach the roll-up conduit to the bottom of the main
cover along the sides.
3. Assemble the Twist-of-the-Wrist assembly and attach it
to the frame and the roll-up side.
4. Install the Anti-Billow Rope system.
5. Test the operation of the roll-up side.
NOTE:
Actual inflation fan
components may differ
from those shown.
