IMPORTANT:
Be sure to read the label on the P.C.S.S. covering to
determine the side of the sheet that should face the sunlight
(outside). Remove the protective film, just before attaching
each sheet.
IMPORTANT:
Identify the sheets for the end walls and be sure to use them
correctly. Depending on the width of your greenhouse, you
should have 3 or 4 different length sheets for each end. The
shorter sheets will be used at the corners and increase in
length as they near the center of the house.
Begin with the first sheet flush with the outside corner. Be
sure the sheet is vertically level and in its proper location.
Trace out any door, fan or shutter openings on the backside
of the sheet and remove the excess using a skill saw.
(See
photos 1& 2)
Stand the P.C.S.S. in place and attach it the end wall
framing using the #12 x 1-1/2" tek-screws with the oversize
washers provided. The screws will need to be spaced
approximately 18" apart.
When joining two sheets together, you must attach a piece
of H-splice after each sheet across the width of the house.
The H-splice attaches to the endwall framing using the #12 x 1-1/4"
tek-screws provided. (The outside corners do not get H-splice).
Note:
The small groove down the center of the H-splice, must face
the outside. This is the screw groove.
(See photos 3 & 4)
Allow the excess sheeting and H-splice to extend above the 2"x 3"
end rafter as you complete the endwall, then remove the excess
above the rafter using a sawzall or jigsaw.
