Door Construction

Door construction

Construct the doors on a hard flat surface. Take a vertical door tube 209cm (25/209PP) and slide on the two remaining upper door hinges (fig 3a/b). Slide on a corner joint and secure in position with a hexagonal key (fig 3c/d). Slide a horizontal door tube 91cm (25/91PP) into the corner joint and secure in position.

Continue to work your way around the door adding the remaining tubes and corner joints (fig 3e). When complete check that the door is square by measuring the diagonals, if not adjust accordingly (fig 3f).

Door installation
Slide each of the lower hinges into position approximately 30cm from the top and bottom of the frame, lock in position in line with the door. Lift up the door and place in position with the holes on the top hinge sliding over the pins on the lower hinge (fig 3g/h).

Lift up the door frame making sure that it slides through the top hinges, when satisfied with the height lock the door frame to the top hinges. Open and close the door to check the clearance at the door rail and on the ground, if necessary adjust the door, by releasing the bolts on the upper hinge and sliding the door up or door until correct, re-tighten the bolts.

If ground clearance is still an issue and the door is catching on the floor then it may be necessary to cut the two door vertical door tubes (25/209PP) to accommodate any uneven ground.

This completes the construction for the fruit cage frame please turn over for attaching the net.
