Trellis Bar Kit (Optional)
Trellis bars can be installed after the plastic has been installed. It is the final step in
construction. It will be easier if installed before the plastic. **It is recommended at
minimum, you have a truss for every 20' span, to support the trellis cable. (i.e. one truss
for a 20' long green house, 2 truss for a 40' long green house.
Before installing your Wire Trellis Kits, determine where your beds will be located. The
most common way to trellis for a bed is a single line in the middle of each bed. Common
bed spacing width-wise is 2 to 3 feet from the edge of the sidewalls and 3 feet between
rows.
1. Horizontal Bar
Included Parts
14' & Under - (6) 72" x 1½" horizontal bar, (4) 6" x 1¼" bar splice, (50) #10 Self
Tap Screws, (8) ⅜" x 3½" Hex Bolt with Nut & Washer

Screws, (8) ⅜" x 3½" Hex Bolt with Nut & Washer
2. Determine Horizontal Bar Sizing
Height
Stand flat-footed in a comfortable working stance. Determine the height at which
you can easily squeeze roller hooks during lower and lean operations. The trellis
bar should be 4"-6" above this measurement. It is common for this height to be
within 10" of the top of the door frame.
*The horizontal bar must be placed above the door frame at a minimum. Measure and
mark desired height with center punch or marker.

This kit is installed onto end wall vertical uprights. This
allows independent placement of wire trellis anywhere
along the width of the structure (not just where vertical
supports are located.) You will need a tape measure, level,
and marker/center punch for this step.
