Determining Truss Height
The cross bar length will determine its height when installed in the greenhouse. The
longer it is, the closer to the ground. The shorter it is the taller it will be in the
greenhouse. By cutting the ridge pole(s) you can shorten the length. We recommend
installing the truss system with hoops in the vertical position. This will allow you to level
them. They can be installed on the hoops before standing them up in the ground posts,
but you will need to leave all the hardware loose so you can level the truss after
installation of the hoop.
Installation
1. Determine the desired height of the horizontal crossbar from the ground. Then
measure from one side of the hoop to the other (Point A to Point B). This will
determine the length of the horizontal cross bar.
2. Cut the ridge pole down to shorten the crossbar to your desired length.
3. Connect the 78" Flat to swage, to the ridge pole, then attach these to the 78'' Flat
to open. Align the flat sections, so they are on the same plane.
4. Once connected together, use #8 x ¾'' self tapping screws at the joints to prevent
twisting and separation.
