ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS
Prior to assembling this greenhouse, please read the
anchoring precautions and instructions included with the
kit. Anchoring instructions are included in the MUST READ
document. You must anchor the building after the base is
assembled and before the panels are installed.
WARNING: The anchor assembly is an integral part
of the greenhouse construction. Improper anchoring
may cause greenhouse instability and failure of the
structure. Failing to anchor the greenhouse properly
will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may cause
serious injury and damage.
LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure. Always consult local
and regional building codes before you begin.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
Never erect the structure under power lines.•
Identify whether underground cables and pipes are• present before preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
Location should be away from structures that could• cause snow to drift on or around the building.
Do not position the greenhouse where large loads• such as snow and ice, large tree branches, or other
overhead obstacles could fall.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. The following site characteristics will help ensure
the integrity of the structure.
A level site is required to properly and safely erect and• anchor the frame.
Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from• areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this structure
are responsible for designing and furnishing all
temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
the assembly process. For safety reasons, those who
are not familiar with recognized construction methods
and techniques must seek the help of a qualified
contractor.
SITE PREPARATION
The information regarding the preparation of the site is
presented as a general set of guidelines.
Soil conditions vary greatly among different sites. If
needed, consult the services of a qualified engineer
before you prepare the site to determine the best and
most efficient way to construct the greenhouse.
Prepare the site so drainage is away from the building
and in a direction that will not cause erosion around the
support structure.

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE
After the site is prepared, identifying the location of the
greenhouse corners helps to square the frame after it is
assembled.
Taking these steps before assembling the greenhouse
saves time and ensures that the structure is positioned as
desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.
Its use depends on the size of the greenhouse, the
footings, and the method used to anchor the shelter.
SQUARE THE SITE
Identify a corner where a building rafter will be1. positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact
width of the building and stake in place.
String a line at least as long as the building from the2. 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.
After squaring the position of the building and placing3. a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes
to mark the base of the building.
