26. Repeat the steps to attach the base rail to the
remaining lower support.
NOTE: Verify that the horizontal braces are parallel to
the base rail. Use a carpenter's square to verify that the
assembled frame is square before tightening all bolts.
If it appears that the assembled end frame is in a bind
or is twisted, loosen a few of the bolts in the angled
brackets or vertical supports and allow the frame to
settle and shape itself. Retighten the bolts as needed.
27. Repeat the procedure to assemble the remaining gable
end wall.
ATTENTION: The remaining end wall frame does not
include the header. In addition, the small horizontal
braces (19) of the first end wall have been replaced
by a single, longer horizontal brace (29). Keep these
changes in mind as you complete the assembly of the
remaining end wall frame.
Consult the End Frame Diagram: No Door when
assembling the frame if needed.
28. After assembling the last end wall frame, continue with
the Sidewall Assembly procedure that follows.

SIDEWALL ASSEMBLY
After both gable end wall frames are assembled, locate the
box labeled with the roof and sidewall parts. Remove the
plastic and assemble its contents as described below.
ATTENTION: Consult the Sidewall Frame Diagram for a
description of parts. All vertical supports are installed with
the bolt track to the inside of the greenhouse. Photos may
show a frame of a different color or length.

instructions for important information regarding the
assembly of the gutter rail and base rail.
Complete these steps:
1. Unpack the sidewall parts and position them on a flat
2. Select the vertical supports for the sidewall and slide
surface for assembly. Place gutter rail at the top of the

two bolts into the bolt track of each support.
NOTE: One bolt is used to attach the vertical support
to the gutter rail and the other is used to attach the
support to the base rail.
For some vertical supports of the sidewall, the bolts are
also used to attach the diagonal strut to the frame.
IMPORTANT: The longer, red-headed bolts are used
to secure the sidewall diagonal struts only. Consult
the Roof/Sidewall Frame diagram for bolt and strut
locations.
Additionally, greenhouse models 104713 and 104715
include a vertical support that has two (2) bolt tracks.
Bolts for the sidewall assembly are placed in the track
that does not include a slot next to it. See the photo on
the next page for additional details.
