Ground Rails NOTE:When setting the width for the E-Z Grow Hobby House theOutside to outside measurement should be 10' 4".Eaxample 10 X 16 is 10' 4" X 16' outside to outside. 1 Square the structure by measuring diagonally from corner to corner . When the diagonal measurements are the same the structure will be square. (see photo 2.) Example: 10'-4" wide x 16' long = 19'-9/16" diagonal measurements. Note: These measurements are approximate, your measurements may be different.
CONCRETE MOUNTING OPTION front/rear ground rail Secure aluminum "z'' bracket onto side groundrails, evenly spaced between welded stanchions, using #14 tek screws. Front & Rear ground rail: place the ''z'' brackets approximately 16'' from each end as shown in diagram to the right. aluminum "z" bracket for anchoring ground rail DETAIL A. shows further attachment details. side ground rails front/rear ground rail welded stanchions DETAIL A.
4-way connector purlin (5'-1'') Rafter(5'-1") Leg (5'-1'') purlin (5'-1'') ASSEMBLING THE FRAME 1. Identify 3-way & 4-way connectors. 3-way connectors are for the ends and 4-way connectors are for intermediate rafters, legs and at the peak of greenhouse. Assemble frame as shown in below diagram. DO NOT assemble legs at this time, completed frame must be lifted and placed on the legs then onto anchor posts. 2. 3-way connector 3-way connector ALL PURLIN, RAFTERS AND LEGS ARE THE SAME LENGTH.
Position 2 men approximately along one side of the greenhouse. Holding legs in one hand, lift up one side of greenhouse and insert legs into connectors. Repeat on the other side.
Note: Slide the legs on top of the welded stanchions of the ground rails. Attach the endwall ground rails using the 3x 3 L-brackets. Use Tekscrews to secure the ground rail to the frame as shown in above picture.

Frame out the door 30-1/2" wide x 72-1/4" high. 30-1/2" X 72-1/4" 1. Square clamp End wall framing attaches to the bow using a round clamp on the bow and a square clamp on the 2"x2" stud. See photo 2. Round clamp 2. 3. PAGE11 Attach the 2" x 2" studs to the end ground rail using 3" x 3" L-bracket as shown.
The Shutter opening is 24-1/2"Wide x 24-3/4" High. Attach horizontal 2x2 using L-brackets as shown. Note the L brackets will attach on the outside of any openings. Example: On top of the door header, on bottom of the lower horizontal for shutter and on top of the upper horizontal for shutter.
You must field cut the ridge purlin to exact length of the ground rails. Attach ridge purlin with Tek-screws and two hole clamps. The ridge purlin attaches under all bows.
The ridge purlin is connected under all bows using 2-hole clamps. Ridge Purlin 1-3/8" Prepare to attach wire lock base to the top of the end bows, around the openings and around the base of the greenhouse. Side Purlin With Optional Wirelock Base. OPTIONAL Cutrain will require wire lock on the Side Purlins at the eave.
If you ordered the optional curtain system, attach the curtain channel approximately 28" above the ground rail. (See photo #1). 1 Approx. 28" from top of groundrail. Curtain Chanel When framing is complete, wire lock base will be attached on top of the end bows as shown in pictures 4 & 5. The wire lock base will go from the bottom of the ground rail over the end bow, down to the curtain channel, then from the curtain channel down to the bottom of the ground rail as seen in picture 2.
Attach Wire Lock Base over the end bows using Tekscrews. The wire lock base will bend over the curvatures as shown. Place screws approximately 12" to 16" apart. Once the framing is complete attach wire lock base over the top of each end bow from the bottom of the ground rail over to the bottom of the gground rail on the opposite side as shown. Wire lock base also attaches all the way around the base of the greenhouse screwing directly to the ground rails, and around all door and fan openings.
IMPORTANT NEVER APPLY POLY TOO LOOSELY. IF POLY IS LOOSE, IT WILL SAG BETWEEN FRAMING MEMBERS AND “POCKET” WATER AND /OR SNOW.
Cover the ends first . Secure the poly in place by wiggling the wire into the channel as shown. Helpful Hint: It is easier to start at the top and work your way down. Cover the other end in the same manner.
Trim around the door and fan openings leaving approx. 1" over hang. Lay out the poly along the side of the greenhouse and pull it over the top as shown.
Pull the polyfilm over the greenhouse, attach the side without the curtain at the groundrail first. Pull the polyfilm tight and secure it at the eave on the curtain side. Note: DO NOT cut the polyfilm at the eave, the curtain and the roof poly are the same piece. Lay the curtain rod in the curtain channel on top of the polyfilm with the wire lock base pointing up. Fold the poly film up so you can lock the polyfilm to the crank rod using the wiggle wire.
OPTIONAL CURTAIN SYSTEM Field Drill Roll the curtain up so it rolls to the inside attach the curtain guides using a Tek-screw at the top and or bolt and nut at the bottom as shown, you will need to drill the holes in the curtain channel for the bolts and nuts. Crank slides to lock the curtain up. Page 22 Slide the crank in so it will lock the curtain in its up position, pull the crank out to roll the curtain down.
Starting at the top on one end begin securing the poly in place using "extra" wire, stager the wire humps. After you have secured both ends, secure the poly in place along the groundrail. When you are finished securing the poly in place trim the excess leaving approx. 3" over-hang on the ends and approx. 6" overhang along the side walls.
Attach the top rail on to the top of the endwall horizontal as shown in picture 1& 2 using the 3/4" clamps and tek screws. Tie the benchwire to the top rails using the aluminum wire ties provided in your hardware box .
