1.3 Slide 610 out of 609’s groove only as many panel sections as are needed to access the panel you would like to swap out for
the roof vent of as shown in diagram . Window positions are your discretion however, must be in the middle for support, do
not place nearest the front or back as you will need a 602B support to keep in window vent in place. Remove the Y7 panels, be
sure to note which side should face the sun, if not marked, mark an “X” with a permanent marker in a lower corner. Repeat on
other side if you are installing more panels on that side.

The UV-Protected side is covered with clear lm and
must face toward the sun. The side covered in white lm
will always face the interior of the greenhouse. We
suggest you peel all lm o completely prior to assem-
bly and use a permanent marker to place a small “X” on
the lower right corner of each panel on the clear side
that faces the sun, each panel has a sticker labeling the
panel number and this side always faces the sun or
outward as well. DO NOT REMOVE LABELS UNTIL
YOU INSTALL PANELS. The “X” is suggested in case
you dis-assemble your greenhouse in the future so you
may identify which side has the UV coating. Always use
gloves when handling the polycarbonate panels as the
edges can be very sharp.
IMPORTANT: POLYCARBONATE PANELS

1.4 Locate your Y7 Panel from your original greenhouse or in the panel box if just beginning building now. You will need a utility
knife, straight edge ruler or square, a tape measure and a permanent marker for the next steps. You will need to mark a small “x”
on the side of the panel that should face outwards to the sun.
1.5 You will need to cut (1) of the Y7 Panels which measure 22 3/4” x 58 1/8“ to the dimensions of a Y8 Roof Vent Panel
which is 22 3/4” x 19 1/8”. See .
1.6 You will need to cut what is left over of the Y7 Panel which now should measure 22 3/4” x 39“ to the dimensions of a Y9
Roof Vent Panel which is 22 3/4” x 36 7/8”. See .

position. See . Window positions are your discretion however, must be
in the middle for support, do not place nearest the front or back as you will
need a 602B support to keep in window vent in place. Place directly across
from each other for best cross draft ventilation, see for optional
placement. Attach the 602B’s as shown between and , after all roof
vents are positioned.
1.9 You may need to remove some 602B’s to slide into place then replace

Squeeze a small amount of rubberized silicone or construction adhesive into the ends of

water penetration such as at the gutter end caps and at the base corners to seal against
water as shown in . Reattach the L28 Brackets.
1.16 It is recommended to apply silicone caulk to the seams where panels meet the
frame for water resistance, or see the moisture control kit on our website to maintain
panel clarity.
