CORRUGATED PC PACKAGE: READ THIS BEFORE
YOU BEGIN
The corrugated PC package accessory is designed to
attach to the end wall framing kit (R035A00001) after the
end frame is assembled.
Choose one of the following options to continue:
If you purchased but have not assembled the•
R035A00001 end frame, stop here, return to the
end frame instruction guide, and continue with those
instructions.
If you did not purchase the R035A00001 end wall•
kit but plan to construct an end wall using customer-
supplied materials, review these instructions before
constructing the end wall to better prepare for the
installation of the panels included in this PC package.
After assembling the end frame, continue with these
instructions to attach the corrugated polycarbonate panels
to the end wall.
ATTENTION: If you purchased an optional door kit,
consult those instructions and proceed as instructed. In
most instances, the end wall frame and door frame are
constructed before end panels are installed. This allows
for the placement of panels as determined by the position
of the door or doors.
It is the responsibility of the owner/contractor to adjust the
position of the end wall panels based on the end frame
and the position of the installed door or doors.

IMPORTANT: Some diagrams throughout this manual
show the edges of the end panels installed in line with
the centers of the end rafter leg/ground posts.
For buildings that include sidewall polycarbonate panels
and hat channel secured to the frame, shift the position
of the end panels as needed so these panels meet the
sidewall panels and create a finished corner.
FRAMING: None of the frame members (rafter, ground
posts, etc.) supporting the end panels is included in
the end panel kit. Only those components needed to
attach the end panels to an existing frame are included.
Fasteners are designed for metal. If your end wall
frame requires different fasteners, contact your sales
representative to purchase additional fasteners, or
purchase the proper fasteners locally.

Important Information
YOU MUST READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU
BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE END WALL KIT.
Thank you for purchasing this ClearSpan™ Corrugated
Polycarbonate Kit. When properly assembled and
maintained, this product will provide years of reliable
service. These instructions include helpful hints and
important information needed to safely assemble
and properly maintain the panels. Please read these
instructions before you begin.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Wear eye protection.•
Wear head protection.•
Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit•
Interrupter) when working with power tools and cords.
Do not climb on the shelter or framing during or after•
construction.
Do not occupy the shelter during high winds,•
tornadoes, or hurricanes.
Provide adequate ventilation if the structure is•
enclosed.
Do not store hazardous materials in the shelter.•
Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent•
entrapment.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this end
wall 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.
REQUIRED TOOLS
The following list identifies the main tools needed to
assemble the end wall. Additional tools and supports may
be needed depending on the structure, location, and
application.
Tape measure or measuring device•
Fine point marker to mark the location on panels.•
Variable speed drill and impact driver (cordless with•
extra batteries works best)
Scissors or utility knife and tool to cut the•
polycarbonate panels
Hammers, gloves and eye protection•
Ladders, work platforms, and other machinery for•
lifting designed to work safely at the height of the
building and end wall.
ATTENTION: Consult the services of a qualified,
professional contractor if you are not familiar with the
construction of similar frame structures.
SEALANT APPLICATION (OPTIONAL)
The application of sealant is left to the discretion of the
owner/contractor. If used during panel installation, apply
a sealant recommended for exterior use and that remains
flexible when cured. To create a better seal, apply sealant
between adjacent panels where the panels overlap each
another. Sealant is not included with the building and must
be supplied by the customer.

End Panel Installation
END PANEL INSTALLATION
The steps that follow describe one way to complete the
end wall panel installation.
The materials and parts needed to assemble the end
panels include:
Corrugated polycarbonate panels (#104621C)•
Tek screws (#FA4482B)•
Neo-bonded washers (#102921B)•
Read the following information before starting:
Tek screws and neo-bonded washers are used to•
secure panels to end wall frame.
During preparation, rest the edges of the panels on•
cardboard or other material to protect them from dirt
and damage.
Consult the polycarbonate panels (Quick Start•
section) for the location and lengths of each panel.
The diagrams are located at the back of these
instructions.
ATTENTION: Panels must be positioned as shown on the
panel diagrams. Using a panel in the incorrect place can
affect the placement of subsequent panels.
Install all accessories (fans, vents, heaters, etc.) after
installing all polycarbonate sheets.
Complete the following steps to install the end wall panels.
Consult the polycarbonate panels diagrams located in the
Quick Start section, select one panel, begin at the edge
of the end wall, and work toward the opposite edge of the
end wall.
NOTE: Set end panels in a position that prepares for the
installation of the sidewall panels if equipped. This may
include shifting the outside panels beyond the end rafter
leg/ground post so corner panels align with each other.
Set the first 50" x 12' 2" panel in place as shown with1.
the side edge aligned with the center of the end rafter
and the bottom edge flush against the ground. Do not
attach at this time.
If a door accessory was purchased, install the
door before attaching the end panels. Adjust the
panel position as needed to accommodate the door
installation. Consult the door installation manual (if
present) for additional details.
Actual end frame may differ from frame shown; end panel
installation is the same. Consult the panel diagrams located
in the Quick Start section for your end panel kit.

Shelter Care and Maintenance
SHELTER CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Proper care and maintenance of the end panels is
important. Check the following items periodically to
properly maintain the end wall:
Regularly check the polycarbonate panels to see•
that these are secure and in good condition. Replace
damaged panels if needed.
Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they•
remain tight.
Do not climb or stand on the shelter at anytime.•
Inspect the anchoring system to verify that all•
components remain tight and in good condition.
Remove debris and objects that can accumulate on•
the shelter. Use tools that will not damage the panels
when removing debris.
Do not allow snow to pile up against the end wall•
and panels. Use tools that will not damage the
polycarbonate panels when removing snow.
Check the contents of the shelter to verify that nothing•
is touching the polycarbonate panels that could cause
damage.
If the shelter is moved, inspect all parts and•
connections before it is reassembled.
Depending on the contents, construction of the shelter,•
shelter materials, and shelter location, the potential for
condensation exists. ClearSpan™ offers several items
that can be used to alleviate a condensation condition.
Please contact a ClearSpan™ representative for
additional information.
For replacement or missing parts, call 1-800-245-9881•
for assistance.
NOTE: With the exception of Truss Arch buildings or as
otherwise noted, ClearSpan™ shelters and greenhouses
do not have any tested loading criteria.
