Secure end panels to all vertical end frame tubes and to the
end rafter using FA4484B screws and 102921B washers.
Secure all polycarbonate panels as shown in the diagrams
and photos below, unless otherwise noted.
Use a Tek screw and washer to secure panel to end wall
frame. Do not crush panel when installing screws.
Diagram shows basic panel installation and fasteners used
to secure polycarbonate panels.
Install H-channel with flat
side out.
END PANEL INSTALLATION
After the end wall framing is attached to the greenhouse,
attach the polycarbonate panels to the end wall framing.
The steps that follow describe one way to complete the end
wall panel installation.
The materials and parts needed to assemble the End
Panels include:
• Polycarbonate panels and white vent tape
• Aluminum U-Channel profile (#104213)
• Aluminum 8' H-channel profile
• Tek screws (#FA4484B)
• Neo-bonded, galvanized washers (#102921B)
Read the following information before starting:
• U-Channel profile is used to finish the side edges of the
polycarbonate panels adjacent
to the door frame
.
• H-channel profile is used to join two (2) separate
polycarbonate panels at the seam.
• Use Tek screws and 102921B washers to secure
H-channel and panels to each end wall frame column
and to the end rafter.
Space at 16" on-center.
• Install the polycarbonate panels with the UV-protected
side to the outside. Mark this side with a marker if
needed after removing the protective film.
ATTENTION:
The protective film must be removed
from the polycarbonate panels. Allowing the film to
remain intact and in direct sunlight will make the film
difficult if not impossible to remove.
• During preparation, rest the edges of the panels on
cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt
and damage.
• Seal the bottom edge of the panels with white vent
tape. Top is sealed with silicone in a later step.
•
Consult the polycarbonate panels (Quick Start section)
for the location and lengths of each panel. The
diagrams are located at the back of these instructions
.
ATTENTION:
Panels must be position as shown on the
panel diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can
affect the placement of subsequent panels. Begin at the
door end
of the building.
If equipped, install all accessories (fans, vents, heaters,
etc.) after installing all polycarbonate sheets.
