Construct End Frame

For best results, read through this assembly guide to better understand how to construct the end frame and to view important connection details. The steps

below describe one way to construct the end frame for your high tunnel.

ATTENTION: Assemble the entire main frame of the high tunnel before you install the end framing.

1. Locate the parts for the header tube and construct the header. See table

on Front Profile diagram page – Item A in Quick Start section of this

guide. Tube will be used to space vertical tubes at ground level.

3. Mark the center of the end rafter at ground level. Using the assembled

header as a guide, align the center of the header with the center of the

end wall.

4. Next, mark the vertical tube position at each end of the header tube

using a small stake or surveyor's paint. Refer to the Front Profile diagram

to confirm inside-to-inside door dimensions.

NOTE: End frame tubes attach to the rafter. Mark locations accordingly.

See Quick Start section near the end of this guide for diagrams.

NOTE: Use the 106730 eight (8) inch connector as a template to mark

the hole locations on each header tube.

2. After marking hole locations, place a scrap wood block under the tube

and drill holes through the tubes using a drill and a 9/16" drill bit.

Construct End Frame

IMPORTANT: If soil conditions are loose or sandy, setting the end wall

columns in concrete is required. Assembly of the end wall may differ if

end frame vertical tubes are set in concrete.

FOR CONCRETE ANCHORING: For best results, assemble the entire

end frame (header and vertical tubes), dig holes for vertical tubes, then

bolt tubes to end rafter at the required spacing determined by inside-to-

inside door opening. Allow lower end of each tube to extend into the hole

and fill hole with concrete. THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT SHOWN.

IF SITE IS ROCKY OR GROUND IS TOO HARD TO DRIVE TUBES

INTO PLACE WITHOUT SMASHING THE END, THEN TAKE

ALTERNATIVE STEPS TO SET THE END FRAME VERTICAL

COLUMNS. CONTACT A LICENSED CONTRACTOR FAMILIAR WITH

SITE LAYOUTS AND SETTING POSTS IN THE AREA.

8. Repeat the steps to set the lower pipe of the remaining vertical tube.

9. Attach a 106730 connector to each upper tube of the frame members

using the 1/2" hardware.

5. Take the lower tubes for each vertical tube and prepare the tubes as

previously described in Step 1 to install the 106730 connector.

6. Take the upper tubes of each frame member and repeat Step 1 to drill

holes in one end of those tubes. Set these upper tubes aside for later.

7. Take one lower pipe for the vertical tube and drive it 24" into the ground

using the QH1073 post driver and a sledge hammer. Pre-mark the 24"

dimension at end of the tube opposite the connector holes. Position the

1/2" bolt holes toward the door opening.

11. Locate the assembled header and slide one (1) 106735

square-tube band clamp onto each end to the tube. Install so

band clamps are oriented the same with the mounting flange

with bolt hole toward the top. See diagram at the right.

REMEMBER: Install 1/2" bolt heads toward the door opening.

12. Attach two (2) 111818 angled brackets to each end as shown

below and on Connection Details diagrams in Quick Start

section. Use two (2) FA4482B Tek screws per bracket.

13. With assistance and the proper ladders or lifts, measure the door opening height, which is 10'-2" from ground level to underside of header, and mark the

location on each of the vertical tubes.

14. Carefully lift the header assembly into position, align the header tube with the marks made in the previous step, and clamp the header brackets to the

vertical tubes. For best results, clamp one side, check that header is level, and clamp the other side. Recheck that header is level. Adjust if needed.

15. Secure top 111818 brackets to the vertical tubes, remove clamps (if needed), and secure lower brackets to frame tube.

*Actual rafter profile may differ. Frame assembly is the same.

Complete these steps to install the angle braces:

1. Using the Connection Details diagrams in the Quick Start section, attach an angle brace to each of the square-tube band clamps installed earlier on the

header. Fasteners are noted in the diagrams. Use the 12" x 12" squares of the grid to position the angle braces. Exact placement is not critical; however,

general position should follow what is shown in the grid diagram. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE MOUNTING BOLTS AT THIS TIME.

2. Adjust the angle brace and clamp position on the header so free end of brace touches the underside of the end rafter. Tap lightly with hammer to move.

3. Locate the two (2) band clamps for round pipe and install these over the end rafter at the point where each angle brace touches the end rafter. Install band

clamp as needed to align best with the header tube and angle braces.

ATTENTION: If the poly-latch u-channel is attached to the end rafter, loosen if possible, and install band clamps. In most instances, you should be able to

lightly tap clamps into place to attach angle braces. If film cover is installed, you may need to remove a small section of spring wire to access and loosen

the Tek screws that secure the u-channel. Once the band clamps are installed, reattach the u-channel and film.

4. Adjust band clamps and angle braces as needed and attach brace to band clamp on end rafter.

5. Verify braces are angled the same and in the desired position and tighten mounting bolts.

6. Return to all band clamps (round and square-tube) and install a Tek screw through each one into either the end rafter pipe or header tube.

7. Continue with the next procedure.

ATTENTION: DO NOT INSTALL ANY ROLL-UP DOOR BRACKETS UNTIL YOU INSTALL THE ROLL-UP DOOR PANEL. SEE THE FOLLOWING

PROCEDURES FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
