A greenhouse with two gable ends formed of a framework which extends between the ends and which includes a sloped roof or eave and also includes sloped gable end bars supported atop vertical bars included in the gable ends. Wedge shaped gable adaptors of reversible configuration are inserted between the tops of the vertical bars and the lower surfaces of the sloped bars to provide a firm support for the sloped bars and a connection between the vertical and sloped bars. The vertical bars are of like configuration in cross-section and are aluminum extrusions arranged in mirror image of each other. Use of the reversible adaptors enable the same extrusion design to be used on opposite ends of the greenhouse. The adaptor structure includes prongs which are inserted into the extrusions which are hollow. The prongs have relative lengths and widths which facilitate mounting of the adaptors in the partially erected greenhouse. The mounting method includes bolting the adaptors to the bars by the use of openings provided in the adaptors for this purpose. Shims are employed with a design to enable the insertion of the same after the adaptors have been connected to the bars.

A light permeable structure comprising an open framework, light permeable glazing on said structure to define an enclosure, said framework including opposed sections including respective vertical structural members of like construction and in mirror image of each other, said framework further including sloped members adapted to rest atop said vertical members, and first and second wedge shaped means having like conformation mounted between the vertical and sloped members to support the sloped members on respective of the vertical members, said wedge shaped means having surfaces to rest atop the vertical members and to rest against the sloped members, said wedge shaped means being of a configuration to be interchangeably mounted between either of the vertical members and the corresponding sloped member and connectible to at least one of the same whereby the vertical members can be arbitrarily mountible in either of the opposed sections, said vertical members being hollow extrusions having like cross-sections and defining like internal bores, said wedge shaped means including prongs extending into the bores to locate and brace the wedge shaped means on the vertical members, said structure further comprising shim means between at least one of the vertical members and the associated wedge shaped means to provide a snug fit between the wedge shaped means and vertical and sloped members, the shim means being a flat generally C-shaped member with an open end to permit bypassing said prongs.
