Revision date: March 2006g

YOU MUST READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU

BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE GREENHOUSE.

Thank you for purchasing this ClearSpan™ Greenhouse.

When properly assembled and maintained, this product

will provide years of reliable service. These instructions

include helpful hints and important information needed to

safely assemble and properly maintain the greenhouse.

Please read these instructions before you begin.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• Wear eye protection.

• Wear head protection.

• Wear gloves when handling panels.

• Use a portable GFCI when working with power tools

and cords.

• Do not climb on the greenhouse or framing during or

after construction.

• Do not occupy the greenhouse during high winds,

tornadoes, or hurricanes.

• Provide adequate ventilation if the structure is

enclosed.

• Do not store hazardous materials in the greenhouse

without proper ventilation.

• Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent

entrapment.

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to assembling this greenhouse, please read the

MUST READ document included with the shipment.

WARNING: The anchor assembly is an integral part of

the greenhouse construction. Improper anchoring can

cause greenhouse instability and failure of the structure

to perform as designed. Failing to anchor the

greenhouse properly will void the manufacturer's

warranty and can cause serious injury and damage.

ATTENTION: Strong winds will cause the greenhouse to

shift if it is not adequately secured to the site.

The site on which the greenhouse was constructed will

determine the anchoring method that is required.

Consult a professional contractor to determine the best

and safest way to anchor the greenhouse.

Contact your sales representative at 1-800-245-9881 for

anchoring suggestions.

WARNING: To prevent property damage and serious

personal injury, the assembled greenhouse must be

anchored to the site.

LOCATION

Choosing the proper location is an important step before

you begin to assemble the greenhouse. The following

suggestions and precautions will help you determine

whether your selected location is the best location.

• This greenhouse has a metal frame. NEVER ERECT

THE GREENHOUSE UNDER POWER LINES.

• Identify whether underground cables and pipes are

present before preparing the site or anchoring the

greenhouse.

• Location should be away from structures that could

cause snow to drift on or around the greenhouse.

• Do not position the greenhouse in a place where

large loads such as snow and ice, large branches, or

other overhead obstacles could fall.

SITE

After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site

is essential. The following site characteristics will help

ensure the integrity of the greenhouse.

• The site must be level to properly and safely erect

and anchor the structure.

• If the site is not level, use footings to provide a

secure, level base to assemble the structure. Pre-

cast concrete blocks, pressure-treated wood posts,

or poured footings are all acceptable when properly

used.

• Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from

areas surrounding the site should drain away from

the site to prevent damage to the site, the structure,

and contents of the structure.

WARNING: The individuals assembling this structure

are responsible for furnishing all temporary bracing,

shoring and support needed during the assembly

process. For safety reasons, those who are not familiar

with recognized construction methods and techniques

must seek the help of a qualified contractor.

After all parts are identified, the site is prepared, and the

Must Read document is read, assemble the base for the

greenhouse. The following steps describe one way to

assemble the greenhouse.

RECYCLED PLASTIC BASE BOARDS

ATTENTION: The longer boards may exceed 96" as

shipped. Measure and cut these to 96" if needed.

The door and non-door end base assemblies are

identical. Each includes two (2) lengths of plastic lumber:

• 1 plastic board at 32"

• 1 plastic board at 96"

The side base assemblies are identical. Each includes

three (3) lengths of plastic lumber:

• 1 plastic board at 44"

• 2 plastic boards at 96"

The boards for the recycled plastic base are positioned

end-to-end. The joints are not secured with any

brackets. See the following diagram.

Side

NOTE: The side base boards are positioned between (or

to the inside) of the door and non-door end base boards

as shown to achieve the required length and width.

This base can be placed on the site before or after

assembling the metal base.

The metal base is attached to the plastic lumber base

using A-Angle brackets after securing the panels to the

metal frame. This prevents placing the A-Angled

brackets in a position that interferes with the installation

of panel brackets.

ASSEMBLE THE METAL FRAME BASE

Locate the following brackets and tubes to assemble the

metal base frame:

Required tubes for each side/end:

Sides of Greenhouse: 1 length @ 48" (plain)

2 length @ 99" (swaged)

Door End: 1 length @ 25" (plain)

1 length @ 61" (plain)

Non-Door End: 1 length @ 27" (plain)

1 length @ 99" (swaged)

1. Assemble the metal frame as shown below:

NOTE: Do not seat or secure the plain pipe tightly to the

swaged pipe at this time. The separate pipes must be

allowed to adjust outward during assembly to allow

proper panel fit.

NOTE: If the metal frame was not assembled on the

recycled plastic lumber frame, set the metal frame in

place on the plastic frame base and continue.

3. After assembling the metal base and securing it with

the corner brackets, choose the first two panels (as

shown in the following diagram) and set these on the

metal frame.

NOTE: Install the panels with the UV-protected

polycarbonate to the outside and the frame to the inside.

NOTE: The angled end panel is installed first and is

seated into the corner bracket. The short, side panel is

installed next and is flush with the front of the angled

panel.

View is from the inside of the greenhouse looking at the

corner where the panels meet.

4. With the panels set in the corner and the edges tight

together, secure the panels to the corner bracket

using 3/4" Tek screws.

5. Secure the corner with a 3" x 3" square plate.

NOTE: All 3" x 3" square plates are attached to the

greenhouse on the inside using self-tapping 3/4" Tek

screws. See the photo that follows.

HINT: When installing panels, use a clamp at the top

and bottom corners (when possible) to clamp the panels

together before installing the flat brackets.

6. Move to the remaining back corner and install

another angled panel and a rectangular side panel

as shown below and secure these as before.

7. Using the above diagram, position a pass-through

connector on the frame tube in the locations

identified by the arrows.

NOTE: The raised portion of the pass-through connector

is positioned to the inside of the greenhouse.

8. Choose the center, non-door end panel, set it in

place, and install 3" x 3" square plates to secure the

panel seams. See the X's for square plate locations.

NOTE: Adjust the base frame tubes as needed to allow

the panels to fit properly. Reposition the pass-through

connectors on the end frame tube as needed and fasten

these to the non-door end panels.

9. Position additional pass-through connectors on the

side frame rails (see arrows below) and set the

remaining rectangular side panels in place as

shown.

10. Secure the panels to each other using 3" x 3" square

flat brackets and to the pass-through connectors.

DO NOT SECURE ANY PASS-THROUGH

CONNECTORS TO THE METAL BASE FRAME AT

THIS TIME.

11. Set the first angled, door end panel (X) into position

as shown above and secure the panel to the corner

frame bracket and to the side panel.

12. Move to the other side of the door opening, place

the final angled panel in position, and fasten it to the

corner bracket.

13. Install a flat bracket a few inches in from each lower

corner of each angled panel on the inside to secure

the corner to the metal base frame.

14. Install the remaining smaller side panels as shown.

Reposition the pass-through brackets as needed.

NOTE: Brace the angled end panel in place (if needed).

Adjust the bottom, side frame rail if needed.

15. To prevent interfering with the door installation,

remove the screws from the angled panels along the

door edges. See vertical dashed lines above.

16. Set the door in the door opening and slide the end

panels together to sandwich the door in the opening.

ATTENTION: Lock the deadbolt of the door before you

slide the base rails together.

17. Place one upper, triangle end panel in position on

the non-door end, align the edges and ends of the

panel with the lower panels, and secure the upper

panel using 3/4" Tek screws and 3" x 3" square

plates. (See the diagrams and photos that follow.)

18. Take the remaining triangular end panel, loosen the

screws along the bottom of the panel used to secure

the polycarbonate, and set the panel in position.

ATTENTION: The lip of the metal trim at the bottom of

the triangular panel will overlap the top of the doorframe.

Dashed line below shows where the trim of the upper

panel overlaps the top of the doorframe.

19. Align the edges and ends with the lower panels and

secure the triangular panel using flat brackets. See

the diagrams above.

20. Secure the ends of each triangular panel to the

lower panels using 3/4" Tek screws and neo-bonded

washers. See Figure 1 (previous page).

21. Retighten the screws to secure the polycarbonate to

the frame of the triangular panel above the door.

DO NOT SECURE THE DOOR TO THE ASSEMBLED

FRAME AT THIS TIME.

22. Move to the inside of the frame and measure the

distance between the base rail at both ends and in

the middle. See the arrows below.

ATTENTION: Use a tie-down strap and ratchet (not

included) to keep the center of the base in place. See

photo insert in the previous diagram. Remove strap after

installing the roof panels.

The distances indicated by the arrows in the previous

diagrams must be equal before you continue. The metal

base will move outward when the roof panels are

installed if the frame is not secured.

23. Once the greenhouse is assembled to this point,

return to each tube splice on the metal base frame

and install a Tek screw through the tubes at each

splice to secure the joint. This prevents separation of

the metal base frame.

24. Return to each pass-through connector and secure

these to the base rail before you continue.

25. After securing the base frame tube joints and pass-

through connectors, square the frame by measuring

diagonally from corner-to-corner.

View is from the top looking down on the frame.

NOTE: The distances indicated by arrows in the

previous diagrams are the same when the frame is

square. During the roof panel installation, periodically

check the frame for square. The frame must remain

square for the panels to install correctly.

26. After squaring the frame, locate a short section of

roof support plate (26") and attach the support to the

inside top of the first small side panel.

NOTE: The first roof support plate is installed with one

end positioned past the edge of the short side panel and

flush with the polycarbonate of the door or non-door

angled panel. See the photo that follows.

27. Choose four (4) forty-eight inch (48") roof support

plates and attach them to the tops of the short side

panels and work toward the other end of the

greenhouse.

28. Complete the installation of the lower roof support

plates by installing another 26" section.

NOTE: To strengthen the side panel seams, the roof

support plates are designed so that they join near the

center of the smaller side panels.

NOTE: In the above diagram, the smaller side panel (X)

has been moved to better show the roof support plates

and their locations.

29. After installing the lower roof support plates, move to

the remaining side of the greenhouse and install the

upper roof support plates.

The upper roof support plates are attached in the same

manner and pattern as previously described. See the

photo that follows.

30. After installing the roof support plates, attach four (4)

3" x 3" square flat brackets to the underside surface

of the end panel frame tubes in the locations shown

in the diagrams on the next page.

Repeat for the door end panels.
