When installing poly roof and/or
ends use one layer of wiggle except
on all corners and when joining end
poly and roof poly in the same poly
fastener base. Use two layers of
wiggle wire in these two situations.
(SEE FIGURE 3)
When installing wiggle wire, be sure
to overlap your wiggle wire one
section.
(SEE FIGURE 3)
After the poly fastener base is secured to
your greenhouse frame, install your foam
tape. Do not peel off paper backing.
Next, position your poly over the
greenhouse frame (being sure to have
equal amount of film on all sides) and
install one layer of wiggle wire. Use a
back and forth motion while seating the
wire into the base. (SEE FIGURE 2)
(OPTIONAL)
USE THESE INSTRUCTIONS ONLY FOR DOUBLE POLY APPLICATIONS. FOR SINGLE POLY
APPLICATIONS SEE PAGE TWELVE
After all wiggle wire is installed, cut
remaining wires into 8" to 12" pieces
and use to reinforce all corners.

NOTE: Place two strips of quality greenhouse patching tape on the inside of
the outside layer where the air from the blower hits the film. This will
prevent rapid drying of the poly and will make it last longer.
Install the inflation blower as the drawing indicates. (FIGURE 1) Location is optional, but, it must be located on a side wall. Next, install the jumper tubes approximately half way up the roof (FIGURE 2)
using the white foam gaskets provided. Four gaskets are required per jumper. One is to be located on the bottom of the inside layer. The other is located on the top of the inside layer. (FIGURE 2)
This can be accomplished by placing one gasket on the inside layer. Now cut the poly out of the gasket on the inside layer only. Use caution during this procedure. Do not cut the outside poly.
Next, insert another gasket (wax paper removed) through the center of the first gasket and stick it on top of the inside layer of poly. (FIGURE 3) You now have sandwiched the poly between the
gaskets and formed an air seal for the jumper.
Before you install the jumper, staple the gaskets together using an ordinary office stapler. Complete all jumpers and turn on inflation blower. The damper on this blower is commonly closed about half
way. Adjust damper to the desired poly tension, using an manometer as an inflation guide.
NOTE: When installing the inflation motor wire it in a fashion to ensure continuous runtime.
