QUICK START GUIDE

For a quick overview of the building and its components, consult the information and diagrams in the Quick Start section near the back of these instructions.

GROWSPAN™ ROUND PREMIUM CORRUGATED GREENHOUSES

SPECIAL NOTE: Baseboards for Frame

These instructions describe installing a baseboard (recommended) at ground level along each side of the frame. The baseboard runs from the front to the back of the frame.

This baseboard is not included with the shipment and must be supplied by the customer. Treated or recycled plastic lumber works well for a baseboard.

Use the included 1/4" x 4" (FAH009B) carriage bolts and the 1/4" zinc nuts (FALB01B) to attach a customersupplied baseboard. Depending on the dimensions of the baseboard, alternative customer-supplied fasteners may be needed.

During the installation, align the baseboard with the center of the end rafter. Do not allow the baseboard to extend beyond the end rafters at either end of the frame. Doing so

will interfere with the installation of the end wall corrugated panels.

The baseboard, when installed properly, helps prevent the ground posts from sinking into the ground when anchored. Depending on the building, it also provides a surface to attach struts or other building components.

Space below is reserved for customer notes.

Consult these instructions or contact Customer Service for additional information regarding baseboards.

ASSEMBLY NOTE: Install Tek screws using a clutched drill driver running approximately 750 RPM while applying approximately 50 lbs of force.

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE

After the site is prepared, lay out the building site.

Taking these steps before assembling the shelter saves time and ensures that the structure is positioned as desired.

Drive ground posts to the proper depth. Width of the shelter is measured from the center of one ground post to the center of the remaining ground post.

SQUARE THE SITE

Gather the parts:

• Ground posts

• Ground post driver

1. Identify a corner where a ground post will be positioned and drive the first ground post into the ground.

NOTE: Insert the ground post driver into the top of the ground post to protect the post and drive the post into the ground. The top of the post will be ten inches

(10") above the finished grade when properly driven.

3. Use a transit or line level to drive the second corner post to the same depth as the first ground post.

4. String a line at least as long as the building from the first stake at 90°.

NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90° angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram. Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20 helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.

Ground Post

Outside of Shelter

Inside of Shelter

ATTENTION: Position the pre-drilled holes facing to the inside/outside of the shelter so they can be aligned with the bolt holes in the rafter legs.

To align the bolt holes in the ground posts with those in the rafter after driving the ground posts, insert a tapered rod or pry bar into a ground post bolt hole and turn the post using the rod or pry bar.

2. After the first corner ground post is in place, string a line the width of the building (center-to-center) and drive the second ground post into the ground just enough to hold it in place.

5. After squaring the position of the building, measure the length (center-to-center) and drive the next corner ground post.

6. Repeat the same step for the last corner post.

NOTE: The distance measured diagonally between corner posts must be equal for the building to be square.

7. Check all dimensions (and adjust if needed) before driving the remaining posts to the required height.

8. After all corner posts are accurately installed, tie a string line between the tops of the corner ground posts on the same side of the shelter. The string is used to identify the tops of all remaining ground posts. The string must remain tight and level.

9. Use a tape measure to mark the 48" on-center locations of the remaining ground posts.

10. Drive the remaining ground posts into the ground at the required 48" on-center width and the height identified by the string.

NOTE: Verify that the holes in the ground posts are in the proper position and that each post is plumb and driven to the correct depth. See Step 1 if needed.

11. Continue with the Rafter Assembly steps that follow.

8. Install the horizontal foam strip (104709) to the door edge of the panel as previously described.

9. Secure the top panel to the end wall framing as previously described.

10. Once the top panel is secured, finish securing the bottom panels to the end wall framing (as needed) and add the next top panel.

11. Repeat the process for the top panel regarding the other side of the door.

12. Continue to install the remaining panels until the end wall is covered.

NOTE: The excess panel removed from the uppermost 12' 2" panels is used to cover the small sections at the very top of the end walls. When cutting the panels to the required length, do not damage the removed panel sections.

13. Once the door end of the greenhouse is covered with end panels, cut all panels to the width of the end wall using the rafter as a guide.

ATTENTION: The roof panels can be installed on the outside of a baseboard as shown in the next photo, or flush with the top edge of the baseboard (not shown).

If you want to attach the roof panels to the outside of a baseboard, use the installed baseboard as the outside

edge of the end wall at the bottom when cutting the lower end wall panels to width. See the photo in the

next column for details. Use the rafter as the outer edge of the end wall if you install the roof panels flush to the top of the baseboard.

12' Panel

The roof panels are attached to the outside of the installed baseboard as shown above. When cutting the corrugated end panels to the proper width, cut the panel so that it extends beyond the end rafter to cover the small area above the installed baseboard.

Allow the roof panels to extend beyond the end of the rafters an inch or so to create a drip edge.

Panels can be installed to the top of the baseboard.

14. Move to the remaining end wall and repeat the steps to install the end panels for that wall.

NOTE: The width of the end wall determines how the end panels are installed. When setting the end panels in place, the excess end panel material can be removed, or the next panel can overlap it, depending on how much panel remains.

End panels are attached to each frame member of the end wall and to the rafter. Panels must overlap each other.

CONSULT THE BACK END PANEL DETAILS PAGE IN THE QUICK START SECTION FOR DETAILS.

15. After installing end wall panels, continue with the next procedure.

Revision date: 05.01.19

GROWSPAN™ ROUND PREMIUM CORRUGATED GREENHOUSES

INSTALL THE CORRUGATED ROOF PANELS

The corrugated roof panels are attached to the tops of each rafter using Tek screws and washers. These panels are designed to span the 48" on-center rafter spacing, which allows each panel to overlap the previous panel.

CONSULT THE MAIN COVER DETAILS DIAGRAM IN THE QUICK START SECTION OF THIS DOCUMENT FOR ROOF PANEL INSTALLATION DETAILS.

Panels are installed beginning at one end of the greenhouse and working toward the other end. All panels are installed between two rafters and over the greenhouse. The overlap seams are secured before moving to the next rafter.

REQUIRED PANELS (5): Four 50" x 8' 2" panels are used to cover the lower sections between the rafters—two panels on each side. The single 50" x 12' 2" panel is used to cover the top section between the same two rafters.

Complete the steps that follow to install the roof panels.

ATTENTION: Tek screws (FA4482B) and washers (102921) are used to secure all polycarbonate panels to the framing.

1. Choose one 8' 2" corrugated polycarbonate panel and position it between the end rafter and the first interior rafter. Start the panel an inch or so above the lower edge of the baseboard as shown below.

2. Place the panel at the desired height above the ground and on top of the end rafter. Align panel with the center of the rafter pipe.

3. Attach the panel to the top of the end rafter and to the baseboard.

ATTENTION: Install Tek screws and washers at 16" intervals along the panel edges for all roof panels. The lower and upper ends where different panels overlap are secured every 12". Be sure to position the panel so that it reaches the second rafter.

DO NOT attach the first panel to the second rafter at this time. Attach it to the end rafter only.

The next panel will overlap the previous panel, which is the repeated pattern for the length of the greenhouse.

DO NOT secure the end of the first panel to the top of the end rafter until the next panel is in position.

4. Choose another 8' 2" panel and align it with the center of the end rafter as described Step 2.

5. Position this second panel so that it overlaps the top edge of the first panel no more than 2 inches, and fasten the panel in place.

Baseboard

104709

Use 104709 closure strip for the baseboard and panel connection.

NOTE: Install a section of the 104709 horizontal closure strip under the edge of the panel before attaching the panel to the rafters. See the arrow above.

The horizontal closure strip (104709) can also be installed flush with the top of the baseboard to prevent dirt and debris from filling the spaces between the polycarbonate and the baseboard. (See the dashed line in the photo above.)
