Installation & Assembly

repeated until you approach the end of the greenhouse. The last step is to install screws on the
final rib of the greenhouse allowing for a 1” (2-3cm) overhang over the end wall.
HINT: To attach screws to the top of the structure, we recommend lashing two boards to the
back of an extension ladder. The boards need to be wider than the distance between the two
bows you will lean it against. This keeps the ladder stable and also holds the panels in position
while distributing your weight across two of the bows. It is important to remember that you
should not stand on top of your Solexx paneling. The structure of the paneling can become
compromised with your weight focused in one small area of the paneling.
Horizontal Installation: Installing Solexx on the Roof and Sides
Preparing Your Frame
When installing Solexx horizontally, supplemental framing needs to be installed perpendicular to
the bows where the panels will overlap. This will provide structure to secure the Solexx at the
seams.
Installing Solexx
Plan for a slight overhang of the Solexx over the end walls to ensure a better seal. Attach the first
panel to the bottom of the side wall. We recommend you first attach the screws to the middle
bow of the greenhouse and work your way out to the end walls (attach screws about every 12”
(30cm) on the bows. NOTE: Do not place any screws within 3” (8cm) of the top of the panel –
