YOU MUST READ THIS DOCUMENT BEFORE YOU

BEGIN TO ASSEMBLE THE SHELTER.

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.

If you have any questions during the assembly, contact

Customer Service for assistance.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Wear eye protection.•

Wear head protection.•

Wear gloves when handling metal and wood.•

Use a portable GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter)• when working with power tools and cords.

Do not climb on the greenhouse 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.•

Provide proper ingress and egress to prevent• entrapment.

ANCHORING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to assembling this greenhouse, please read the

anchoring precautions and instructions included with the

kit. Anchoring instructions are included in the MUST READ

document. You must anchor the building after the base is

assembled and before the panels are installed.

WARNING: The anchor assembly is an integral part

of the greenhouse construction. Improper anchoring

may cause greenhouse instability and failure of the

structure. Failing to anchor the greenhouse properly

will void the manufacturer’s warranty and may cause

serious injury and damage.

LOCATION

Choosing the proper location is an important step before

you begin to assemble the structure. Always consult local

and regional building codes before you begin.

The following suggestions and precautions will help you

determine whether your selected location is the best

location.

Never erect the structure under power lines.•

Identify whether underground cables and pipes are• present before preparing the site or anchoring the

structure.

Location should be away from structures that could• cause snow to drift on or around the building.

Do not position the greenhouse where large loads• such as snow and ice, large tree 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 structure.

A level site is required to properly and safely erect and• anchor the frame.

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 designing and 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.

SITE PREPARATION

The information regarding the preparation of the site is

presented as a general set of guidelines.

Soil conditions vary greatly among different sites. If

needed, consult the services of a qualified engineer

before you prepare the site to determine the best and

most efficient way to construct the greenhouse.

Prepare the site so drainage is away from the building

and in a direction that will not cause erosion around the

support structure.

UNPACK AND IDENTIFY PARTS

The following steps will ensure that you have all the

necessary parts before you begin to assemble the

greenhouse.

Unpack the contents of the shipment and place where1. you can easily inventory the parts. Refer to the Bill of

shelter diagrams throughout these instructions for

clarification, or contact Customer Service.

At this time, you do not need to open the plastic

bags containing the fasteners (if used).

ATTENTION: To prevent splitting, drill and countersink

all mounting holes in greenhouse panels and other cedar

components.

Failing to drill and countersink the holes may split the

cedar when mounting screws are tightened.

ASSEMBLE AND ANCHOR THE BASE

For concrete surfaces, anchor the frame using customer-

supplied brackets and wedge anchors. Consult the

services of a qualified contractor for additional information

and details.

Measure all lengths of plastic lumber and match them to

the lumber lengths shown in the chart found below the

base diagrams in the Quick Start section.

ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE

Following the instructions as presented will help ensure

the proper assembly of your greenhouse. Failing to follow

these steps may result in an improperly assembled and

LAY OUT THE BUILDING SITE

After the site is prepared, identifying the location of the

greenhouse corners helps to square the frame after it is

assembled.

Taking these steps before assembling the greenhouse

saves time and ensures that the structure is positioned as

desired. The following procedure is a suggested method.

Its use depends on the size of the greenhouse, the

footings, and the method used to anchor the shelter.

SQUARE THE SITE

Identify a corner where a building rafter will be1. positioned, drive in a stake, and string a line the exact

width of the building and stake in place.

String a line at least as long as the building from the2. first stake at 90°.

NOTE: A transit can be used to ensure an accurate 90°

angle, or the 3-4-5 rule can be used. Refer to diagram.

Using multiples of 3-4-5 such as 6-8-10 or 12-16-20

helps to maintain an accurate 90° angle.

After squaring the position of the building and placing3. a stake at all corners, string a line between the stakes

to mark the base of the building.
