Installing End Wall Cross Connectors
1. Place Ridge Pole past the lower loop but not further than 1/2 way past the hoop,
tighten the gold nut and bolt supplied with the end wall cross connector.
2. Pre drill at "Point A" with a 3/16" drill bit. These connectors are thicker metal so
be prepared to use extra force.
3. Use a clamp to press the ear that faces the inside of the hoop house with the
pre-drilled holes against the hoop. Secure with #8 self-tap screws.
4. Use slip joint pliers and a 16 oz. hammer to curl the outside ears further around
the end wall hoop. It is not necessary to make the end wall cross connector snug
around the hoop.
5. Finally, drill through the end wall cross connector and ridge pole. Insert a 2" bolt
with a lock washer and nut (same as ground post nut/bolt) at point C.
6. When you install the lock channel over the ears you can install self-tap screws
close to, but not through, the ears of the end wall cross connector to add
tension.
