INSTALL MAIN COVER (continued)
ASSEMBLE THE ROLL-UP SIDE CONDUIT
Gather the Parts:
• Pipe 1.315'' x 75'' swaged 17 GA (#131S0075)
• Pipe 1.315'' x XX'' plain 17 GA (#131P0XX)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B)
The roll-up side conduit assembly is attached to the bottom
of the roll-up side cover material. This assembly runs the
length of the frame and serves as the center pipe that the
roll-up cover wraps around when it is opened to ventilate
the shelter.
This conduit is identical to the purlins that were
assembled and attached to the frame.
NOTE:
The number of pipes used in the roll-up conduit
assembly varies with the length of the greenhouse.
Roll-up conduit assemblies consist of multiple sections of
swaged 1.315" pipe at 75" in length (part #131S075) and
one (1) additional plain 1.315" pipe at a shorter length
(part #131P0XX) determined by the greenhouse, where
XX represents the remaining length required to complete
the roll-up conduit assembly and to reach the end of the
greenhouse.
Complete these steps to assemble the roll-up side conduit.
1. Locate all sections of pipe needed to assemble the
cover conduit.
2. Insert the swaged end of each pipe into the plain end of
another pipe until the conduit is assembled.
3. Secure each pipe joint with a Tek screw.
4. Place the assembled conduit at the base of the side
where the end of the main cover is located.
NOTE:
Apply duct tape over Tek screws to prevent
damage to main cover.
5. Repeat the steps to assemble the remaining cover
conduit.
6. Continue with the procedure that follows to attach the
conduit to the main cover.
ATTACH CONDUIT TO MAIN COVER ROLL-UP SIDE
Gather the parts:
• Assembled conduits
• Fabric clips #CC6212 (Divide quantity in half.)
• Tek screws (#FA4482B)
To this point, the main cover layers are secured to the
greenhouse and the roll-up portion of the main covers
along both sides are secured to and hanging down from the
poly latch U-channel.
1. Unfold the remaining portion of the main cover (if
needed) and evenly stretch it out on the ground along
the frame.
2. Working from the inside the frame
, roll the assembled
cover conduit onto the edge of the main cover.
3. Verify that the cover and conduit are evenly positioned
and tuck the cover edge under the conduit and begin to
turn the conduit in a clockwise direction.
NOTE:
If the conduit begins to turn inside the cover
material and is unable to roll up the side evenly, secure
the cover material to the conduit with Tek screws and
fabric clips evenly spaced along the conduit.
4. Continue to roll the conduit until the excess cover
material is wound around the conduit.
5. Repeat these steps for the other side of the shelter.
6. With the excess cover material rolled up on the conduit
assemblies, continue with the
Twist-of-the-Wrist
Assembly
procedure.
