ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Please read these instructions carefully before you begin to
assemble this greenhouse. Save instructions for future reference.
REV: AD-130626

PLEASE READ THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLING THE
STRUCTURE. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
This structure is intended to be self-supporting, provided it is constructed with all frames,
hardware, sheathing, sheeting, bracing, cables, and membrane in place, and secured to the
foundation as shown in the manual. Stability during construction, from winds and loads
imposed during erection, is the sole responsibility of the installer. Observe safety codes
required by your jurisdiction, and relevant safety practices for working at heights. Avoid the
risk of electrical shock from overhead lines or electrical storms. Poly-Tex recommends
contracting a licensed electrician to perform electrical work. Eye protection is recommended
under all circumstances and hearing protection is recommended when cutting components
with power tools.
Foundations
These instructions include minimum guidance for foundations based on the International
Building Code. These minimums are suitable for some areas of the country but not all. Obtain
a building permit if required in the local jurisdiction. Engineered and Certified foundation plans
may be required by a building official before issuing a permit. Even if not required, seeking
guidance from a qualified structural or civil engineer for the foundation design may improve
the life of the structure.
No part of this structure is engineered to function as an anchorage point for a fall arrest
system. Use a safety net or work from a safe work platform (i.e. scaffolding). Select a calm
day for work. Wind can be sufficient enough to knock materials or workers off of a work
platform or ladder, resulting in a potentially deadly fall.
Overview of assembly procedure
While each structure and site is unique, and may require special considerations, these
instructions are for a tilt-up method (where frames are assembled on the ground and tilted
onto ground stakes or anchor rods using ropes or lifts). If installer is not confident to erect the
structure, Poly-Tex suggests hiring a general contractor, carpenter, or similar licensed
business familiar with construction, to assemble and erect the structure.
Do not overload structure. Consult with a Poly-Tex representative prior to adding any
amount of weight over the specified capacity of this structure. Basket purlins, shelving or any
objects of significant weight shall not be hung, attached, or secured to roof or truss members
in a manner that will overload the structure.
Do not walk on polycarbonate sheets. If structure is to be covered with polycarbonate
sheets, always use scaffolding for the erection process to avoid damage to sheeting and to
ensure safety. Polycarbonate sheeting has UV coating protected with vinyl film on the exterior
surface. Install sheets with the film intact and toward the exterior. Remove film once the
sheet has been fastened in place.

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.
