Important Information

INSTALL THE END PANELS AND CUSTOMER-SUPPLIED DOOR FRAMING BEFORE YOU INSTALL THE ROOF MATERIAL.

Customer-Supplied Doorframe Installation

In areas where loose or sandy soil conditions are found or where deep frost is common, setting the customer-supplied doorjambs in concrete is recommended. This helps prevent shifting and provides an additional level of stability in extreme climates and during adverse weather-related conditions.

Always consult local and regional building codes and follow construction practices common to the area when setting the customer-supplied doorjambs.

Doorframe materials and concrete are supplied by the customer. They are not included.

Consult the Quick Start section for dimensions.


Install Doorframe

Secure posts to end rafters as shown. Consult doorframe diagrams in the Quick Start section for details and dimensions.

NOTE: Cut the bulk 3/8" threaded rod to the required length to secure doorjambs to the rafter/building frame. Countersink the "head" of the threaded rod so that it is below the surface of the customer-supplied doorjambs. Use a 7/16" drill bit to drill through the doorjamb and rafter to install the threaded rod.

Use two nuts and one flat washer on each end of the rod to secure the connection.

INSTALL ROLL-UP DOOR PANEL ROPES

Lace the roll-up panel ropes through the roll-up panel. These ropes wrap around hook lags screwed into the sides of the doorframe. When installed correctly, these ropes help keep the roll-up panel in place when it is fully or partially closed. These steps describe one way to lace the roll-up panel.

Gather the parts:

• Hook lags (#FAX120)

• Rope (#CC5505)

• Zipper extension pole (#CC2235)

1. Beginning on the outside of a doorjamb, attach a hook lag between the first two grommet holes below the guide post bracket. Position the open end of the hook lag toward the building or end wall. IMPORTANT: Screw hook lags into the side of the doorjamb, not the front. Do not screw into the roll-up panel.

2. Evenly space the hook lags and install between grommets as shown below. Install half of the hook lags into each doorjamb.

3. Tie a length of rope to the first grommet hole below the guide post bracket, loop it around the first hook lag, and lace it back through the next grommet. Repeat this process until the rope is through the last grommet.

4. Leaving some slack, loosely tie the rope off at the bottom grommet hole.

5. Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the remaining doorjamb.

6. Once the ropes on both sides are laced and hooked, untie rope at the bottom grommet hole and pull tight to remove excess slack. Tie off at bottom grommet hole. NOTE: Use the included zipper extension pole (CC2235) to unhook the rope to open the roll-up panel. The pole can also be used to loop the rope over the hook lags when the roll-up panel is closed.

7. Continue with the Install End Panel procedure.

Install End Panel

During installation, cut material a few inches longer than needed. Wrap material over the top and sides of the rafter and secure using Tek screws and washers.

Attach material to the sides of the doorjambs and header using wood screws neo-bonded washers.

Trim excess material from panels after installation if desired.

END PANEL INSTALLATION—Use CC4949Z62 Material

Consult the End Panel Location diagram at the back of this manual to view the areas that need covered with end panel material. Use these steps to cut and attach the end panel material.

1. Measure the area to be covered and cut a section from the bulk CC4949Z62 material. Allow extra material to achieve the best fit and to wrap around the doorframe and end rafter. NOTE: Due to differences in construction methods and customer-supplied support materials, the customer must determine the best way to prepare and cut the bulk material for installation. Measure the area to cover before you cut the CC4949Z62 material.

2. Set the prepared panel in place and attach it using FA4652 wood screws and neo-bonded washers. Attach panel to rafter using FA4482B Tek screws and neo-bonded washers (102921). Space screws at 8" on-center.

3. Repeat the steps to cut and attach panels to cover the remaining open areas.

Optional Stay Cable Installation

The diagram below describes the stay cable option available for your building and suggests ways to improve the stability of the customer-supplied end framing. Contact your sales representative to purchase or to learn more about accessories.

Stay Cables (optional—additional purchase required)

Stay Cable System

The Stay Cable System provides additional support to the building frame and customer-supplied end framing. When properly installed, stay cables help stabilize the main frame and end wall frame, especially in areas where strong winds are common.

Stay Cable Systems are shipped complete with cable, turnbuckles, and all the necessary clamps to secure the cable to the building, end frame, and ground anchors.

Contact your sales representative to learn more about the Stay Cable System.

End Framing Installation

In areas where loose or sandy soil conditions are found or where deep frost is common, setting the customer-supplied end frame posts in concrete is recommended. This helps prevent shifting and provides an additional level of stability in extreme climates and during adverse weather-related conditions.

Always consult local and regional building codes and follow construction practices common to the area when setting the customer-supplied end frame posts.

End frame materials and concrete are supplied by the customer.

Suggestions: Winterizing the High Tunnel

GROUND LEVEL

Using customer-supplied materials, create "H" bracing within the roll-up end panel frame to support the panel during winter months and strong winds. Secure horizontal support using pins for easy removal. Vertical bracing can remain throughout the year if spaced according to needs.

For added cold protection below ground, bury 2" foam insulation board down to the frost line around the perimeter of the building. Consult a qualified construction contractor before erecting the high tunnel* to determine how best to install the customer-supplied 2" insulation board.
