height for the panel. See the Main Cover Details diagram in the Quick Start section for the sidewall height.
From
ground-to-bottom of ribbon board, maximum height not to exceed 6' 6". Side panel is 7' top to bottom.
2. Repeat for the remaining side of the frame.
3. For high tunnels
with roll-up sides
, continue with Step 4.
For high tunnels
with drop-down sides
, use the diagram above to attach the second board (1" x 4") to the ribbon
board. Use FA4652 wood screws (included) spaced at 24". Repeat for the remaining side.
4. Inspect the frame assembly for sharp edges or clamps and bolts that may interfere with the installation of the side
panels. File or tape sharp edges as needed. Reposition clamps if needed.
5. Continue with the installation of the u-channel and main cover.
