1. Slide one 17 33/33mm hinged double-clamp onto each 5 10' leg,
2' in from the swaged end (see drawing).
2. Connect 5 legs to reinforced 6 8' center piece to create arc

Overview:
Setting up the foundation is crucial to maximizing
the stability of your cold frame. Be sure to clear out
the portion of land you intend to cover and flatten
the ground to ensure continuity throughout the
heights of all platform posts.
Instructions
1. Using the width of the assembled arcs as an accurate
measurement, map out your platform insertion
points as shown.
2. Once insertion points are located, dig 6" diameter
holes and insert 20 36" anchor props.
3. Use appropriate tooling according to the condition of
the soil where the structure will stand.

Instructions
1. Using 16 33mm one-bolt strap clamps, 15 3 way
connectors, and 18 pivot caps, connect 7 6' tubes from the
end arcs to the second and third arcs in.
2. Attach 8 8' tubes from the third arcs to appropriate platform
posts as shown below.
3. When complete with first corner, continue with remaining
three corners as instructed
Overview:
Attachment of the stretchers will provide additional
support to both ends of the cold frame since this is
where the most tension is placed.

Overview:
Setting up arc purlins along the exterior sides of
structure, attaching aluminum channel and setting
up front and back enclosures.
Instructions
1. Connect nine 10 10' swaged tubes and one 7 6' tube together (drill
in two screws at the unions to hold tubes together) and use
17 33/33 double-hinged clamps to attach this newly created purlin
to arcs as shown. Three purlins total. See page 3 for purlin positioning.
2. Drill 23 aluminum channel along the top side of the first and last
arcs as well as on the exterior purlins as shown.
3. Gather four 7 6' tubes and drill on 23 aluminum channel to the
tubes beginning at 12" in from both ends.
4. Using 13 straight clamp 33/33mm, connect
prepped 7 6' tubes to the first and last pairs of leg sections.
5. Drive 19 prop stops into ground and insert 8 8' tubes at the
appropriate distance so that they can be connected by the
prepped 6' tubes using 13 straight clamp 33/33mm.
6. Cut both 8' tubes approximately 12" below the hoop. Attach
the top of the the 8' tubes to the hoop using the 14 oblique clamps.
Drill on 23 aluminum channel to the 8' tube facing outward.

Overview:
Assembling side roll-up tube.
Instructions
1. Connect ten 10 10' swaged tubes (drill in two 1 screws at the
unions to hold tubes together) and connect all appropriate
pieces for 3 crank handle (including 33mm swaged insert
connectors if necessary). Once film is ready to be attached
to side roll-up tube, clamp on one 14 4" abs cuff at every foot
as shown.
2. See page 13 for details of large crank handle assembly.

Instructions
1. Lay 24 film over the cold frame.
2. Attach film to the last hoop (locking film into 23 aluminum
channel using 22 wiggle wire).
3. Pull the front very tight and lock film into the front hoop's
23 aluminum channel (film must be put on tightly to prevent
flapping which can cause potential tearing).
4. Attach film simultaneously on both sides so film is tight
and evenly distributed.
5. Wrap up the bottom excess film to the roll-up arm assembled.
6. Trim excess film that hangs over the front and back of cold
frame (allow 6" of excess flap).
Overview:
Attaching film. Be sure to tape all corners and
possible sharp edges before attaching film to
prevent puncturing.

Instructions
1. Measure the height (x) of the cold frame and add two feet
to that distance (x+2').
2. Using the remainder of the film, cut two sheets to be 32' wide
(assuming your roll of film is 32' wide) by x'+2' long (i.e. if the
cold frame height is 13', your sheet should be 32'x15').
3. Center the sheet and lock film into 23 aluminum channels with
12" of film going upwards past the top and 12" downwards past
bottom 23 aluminum channel along the ground.
4. Do for front and back ends of cold frame.
