INSTALL THE POLYCARBONATE VENT PANELS
The steps below describe attaching the polycarbonate
vent panels to the assembled vent frames. The panels are
lettered for identification. Consult the panel diagrams and
the diagrams on the outside of each shipped box to locate
and identify parts. See Page 32 for additional information.
The parts needed to complete the vent frame assembly
include the following:
•
Polycarbonate Panels: Letter X
•
U602 U-profile and silicone
Greenhouse Sku Number
104711 – 104713 – 104715
NOTE: The plastic U-strips are precut and are as long as
the polycarbonate panel is wide. You do not have to cut any
plastic molding. If it appears as though the plastic profile
is the incorrect length, verify that you have selected the
correct panel and profile. Consult the panel diagrams near
the back of these instructions for details.
Do not allow panels to remain in direct sunlight with the
protective film intact.
Complete these steps:
ATTENTION: Install the polycarbonate panels with the
UV-protected side to the outside of the greenhouse. If you
remove the protective film before installing the panels, mark
the panel in a lower corner to identify the UV-protected
side.
1. Locate the first X panel and the plastic U-strips for that
panel.
Install this
edge on the
backside of
the panel.

2. Carefully peal the protective film away from the edge
on both sides of the panel if needed.
To prevent scratching the panel, do not completely
remove the protective film until the plastic U-strips are
installed.

NOTE: The top and bottom edges of each panel show
the hollow cells inside the panel. When installing the
plastic molding, rest the panel on cardboard or other
material to protect the edges and surface of the panel.
4. Take the remaining strip and attach it to the bottom
edge of the panel.

and are "capped" by the U-strips.
5. With both U-strips installed on the panel, remove the
remainder of the protective film.
6. Mark the UV-protected side with a piece of tape or a
marker and verify that the panel fits the vent frame.
Adjust frame as needed. Set panel aside.
