Read directions completely before beginning assembly. We recommend that you visit The Learning Center at

www.growerslearning.com, click on How to Assemble under categories. In this section you will find video tutorials

to assist you with the assembly of your new greenhouse. If you have ANY questions please give us a call at

866-928-3390.

Step 1 –Ground Stakes

Square the corner stakes with each other. Take all

measurements on the outer edge of pipe.

Drive Corner stakes and then drive rest of stakes 4 ft.

centers (Fig 1.1).

NOTE: Use a large bolt and washer, or 2 x 4 on top of stakes

to drive them into the ground.

The stakes should be approximately 24” below the

ground. The section above ground will be the height of

your sidewall (Fig. 1.2)

About 7 ½ ft for High side, YOU MAY NEED TO CUT DOWN.

NOTE: Use a string level to keep ground stakes level.

Step 2 –Bow Assembly

Place bow sections on flat ground.

Slide sections together, and secure at joints with

self-tapping screws (provided).

Measure up each end of bow 6” and make a reference

mark. The mark is how far the bow goes into the

ground stake (Quonset Style Bow). High Side and Low

Side insert till they stop at a sharp bend. Secure with

tek screw.

NOTE: Bows are 2 or 3 pieces depending on your

greenhouses’ size.

Step 3 –Bow Installation

After bows have been assembled, raise upright and

place ends in ground stakes (Fig 3.1) and attach with

tek screws.

NOTE: Place swaged (crimped) ends on the same side of the

Greenhouse. This will keep the bows even, and lined

Up. This may or may not be needed.

Step 4 –Purlins

The straight purlin pipe sections connect together with

self-tapping tek screw and the assembled purlin is

attached to the first and last bow (Fig 4.1) using a two

hole strap (Fig 4.2). The purlin clamps are used on the

remaining bows (Fig 4.3). Trim extra pipe off. Make

sure to view illustrations.

NOTE: You will also install a purlin at approximately 10 and 2

o’clock for houses 24 ft. and wider (Fig 4.1).

Wind braces are used on houses longer than 40 ft.

Step 5 –Base / Head Boards

Attach head boards (also called hip boards on low

sidewall houses) and base boards (2 x 6 pressure-

treated recommended) on the top and bottom of the

sidewall with 6” carriage bolts or 2-hole pipe straps.

NOTE: Both fasteners work equally well, it is simply a matter

of personal preference. You must attach 2 hole strap

to ground stake using self-tapping screws also use

wood screws (not included) to attach to your timber.

NOTE: For carriage bolts: drill through ground stake, bow,

and 2 x 6 and install carriage bolt.

Step 6 –End Walls

For Best results, we recommend the use of our End

Wall Kits.

Step 7 –Wire Lock

NOTE: Not all houses use wire lock. Some use batten tape

and staples.

Attach the Wire Lock Channel on the top of first bow

and last bow using tek screws (included) every 18”.

Attach the Wire Lock Channel on either the head or

base boards (depending on whether you are using roll-

up sides) all the way around the base of the

greenhouse in the same manner using 1 ½” wood

screws (not provided). TEK SCREWS ARE NOT

RECOMMENDED FOR THIS.

If you do not have Roll Up Sides, start at the base board

on one side. Attach Wire base on face of board (Fig

7.1) and install on bow running all the way over bow to

other base board. Screw every 18” with self-tapping

screws. If you have Roll Up Sides cut and fit a piece of

wire base in between hip board and base board (Fig

7.2). Then attach wire base to face of hip board (Fig

7.3) and install over bow to other hip board.

Once you have the wire base installed on first and last

bows it is time to install it on the base board or hip

board. If you do not have Roll Up Sides install wire

base on the base board the length of your house. If

you have Roll Up Sides run the wire base on your hip

board the length of the house. Now it is time to install

the wire base on the ends of your house. Wire base is

only used on the base board you must cut to fit. End kit

door opening vary in sizes so each end is different if

you need assistance call tech support, 866-928-3390.

NOTE: See the slideshow online for more information.

Step 8 –Film Installation

When preparing to install film on your greenhouse be

aware of the wind. Try to pick a calm day. Start by

locating the film for the ends of the greenhouse. Next

gather 3 pieces of wiggle wire you will use this to hold

film in place. Stretch the film over the bow and attach

the film with the wire. You can adjust film by removing

wiggle wire and reinstalling. Once end film is in place it

is time for the main film. Roll main film out along side

of the green house. Lay wiggle wire out around the

house. Pull film across house and attach on one end.

Go to the other end and pull tight. You may need to go

back and adjust again. Once in place wire lock

completely.

Pull Film over the greenhouse (on a non-windy day!)

NOTE: Plastic normally has 12” or larger overhang on all

sides.

Lay film over the Wire Lock Channel, and fasten the

plastic into the channel by placing the wiggle wire into

the channel on top of the plastic (Fig 8.1).

NOTE: Please watch the video online for more information.

Additional Information Concerning Weather

During windy / stormy / winter conditions it is mandatory to roll sides down and wire lock ends. Lack of

doing this may result in greenhouse damage due to wind uplift. If you are expecting sever snow, 6”plus

you should broom snow off of the greenhouse. Feel free to call for more explanation, 931-528-3390.
