Trouble with Rion Assembly

Posted by jeribeth (My Page) on

I just got my Rion a few weeks ago and began assembling it. Everything went well, until it came time to assemble the raftors. I went to stretch the cable into the hook provided, as instructions said, and the parts broke! The part where the cable is strung through stripped out (the cable cut a path through it), and the round tubing (R8, I think) on another one snapped. What did I do wrong? I'm hoping Rion will send me new parts. It was extremely tight, and I had to have my husband help me.

Correction: the parts that broke are 5A and E6. I just realized that I strung the cable through the wrong channel, making it tighter than it should have been. Ugh! I hope they can replace my parts!

Sorry I did not see this post sooner. When I assembled my rion I did the same thing except I did not break anything. The rion istructions are not very clear about the cable for the rafters.

So how did you make out?

I love mine.

I too have a Rion and we found they could have had better instructions. Also, the numbers fell off some parts. I'm going to miss it when I move. :*(

Greenhouser2, I got a small Rion partly so i could load it on a flatbead when I move. This will be a hell of project, but I do love this greenhouse. Have you thought about moving it?

NOTE: I have NOT tried this!
