  • Page 25 Note: This phase of assembly will involve erecting the greenhouse directly on the included aluminum frame. This image is to demonstrate the positioning of the greenhouse on the aluminum frame and you do not need to have the Front Gable attached to the A-Frame section via ridgepole and lower sills as shown before attaching it to the aluminum frame.
  • Page 26 Important: Steps 2 and 3 will need to be undertaken in cooperation as they both involve connecting to the ridgepole at the top of the greenhouse. Read and understand instructions for Steps 2 and 3 before beginning; once the ridgepole is connected on one end it is important that the other end is not allowed to hang unsupported as it could bend the flange used for the connection.
  • Page 27 Step 4: Connect lower horizontal rail During the Front Gable subassembly process you inserted four bolts into the tracks of V943 V903 V904 curves .
