 END WALL / SIDE WALL FRAMING OPTIONS
Most greenhouse structures require additional framing at the endwalls
and side-walls to secure coverings and hang equipment.
While treated lumber has historically been the product of choice, price considerations are making growers consider alternative
means of framing their greenhouses.
Metal frame kits offer numerous advantages including:
• Galvanized steel does not wear like treated lumber
• Some Treated Lumber can be corrosive to metal
• Steel framing can be installed in a fraction of the time of wood
further reducing installation time and labor
• In the long run, galvanized steel framing offers a much better value
End-wall Frame Kits
• End-wall frame kits incorporate 2” square tubing to maximize strength
and reliability
• Each frame kit includes custom tabs designed to easily and efficiently
transition from an end-wall upright to the bow
• Additional girt clips are provided to secure horizontal framing members to
vertical uprights
• End-wall framing flush mounts with the end bow offering a flat surface
with which to mount coverings and equipment
• End-wall frame kits are easily adaptable, on site, to accommodate most fan
and door configurations
Side-wall Frame Kits
• Side-wall frame incorporates galvanized steel formed into a hat section
• Metal framing is easy to install
• Installing poly lock is typically faster and holds more secure when using
self-taping tek screws into metal vs. wood screws into treated lumber
