Door Assembly & Installation - Robinson Polytunnels 10ft Wide Polytunnel Assembly & Instruction Manual

14. DOOR ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
1 For each door frame you will need:
a. 2 pieces of timber at 42mm x 38mm x 1830mm long
(verticals)
b. 3 pieces of timber at 42mm x 38mm x 770mm long
(horizontals)
c. 2 plywood triangles
d. 4 Corner Joint Plates
e. 36 twist nails 30mm long
f. 6 nails 75mm long
2 Lay the door frame out on a flat surface in the arrangement
shown. Note, the visible face of the timber is 38mm wide (not
42mm).
3 Using the 30mm twist nails, nail the Corner
Joint Plates over the corners of the door. Nail
the 2 Plywood Triangles over the joints of the
mid-rail to the verticals, 5 nails per triangle.
Set the triangles approximately 5mm from the
edge of the door.
4 Stand the door on its side and nail through the
door verticals into the ends of the door
horizontals with the 75mm nails.
5 For cladding each door you will need:
a. 3 battens at 38mm x 19mm x 846mm (cut to length)
b. 4 battens at 38mm x 19mm x 858mm (cut to length)
c. Piece of door polythene, 1m x 1m
d. Piece of door net, 1m x 1m
e. 63 nails 50mm long
6 Lay the door on its inside face (plywood triangles down). Lay
the polythene over the bottom half of the door and the net
over the top half of the door. The polythene and net will
overlap on the middle door horizontal by the thickness of the
timber (38mm).
7 Hold the polythene and net in place with staples using a staple gun or stapler. Try to get the polythene
and net tight when stapling to the door frame.
Tip! Pre-nail the battens before you clad the door
to get the job done quicker!
