May we congratulate you on your new greenhouse
Congratulations On Your Choice Of
Greenhouse
Juliana Drivhuse A/S is a privately owned Danish
company established in 1963. At Juliana Drivhuse
we design, develop and manufacture our green-
houses based on principles of simplicity, aesthetics,
functionality and quality. Over the years, Juliana
Drivhuse has acquired several competing com-
panies, so that today we offer three brands: Halls,
Juliana and Gabriel Ash. Each brand contains
products with unique designs and functionalities,
but where the common feature is a correlation
between quality and price.
All products are designed and manufactured to
last for many years and form the framework for
people and the good life, whether it is primarily
for cultivation or as an oasis in the garden. On
www.juliana.com you can read more about the
company, the individual brands, and the wide range
of accessories available for our greenhouses.
This Installation Manual
When assembling your new greenhouse, you need
to follow these instructions step by step. You will
find all bolts, nuts and fittings in a separate box.
NOTICE: This manual might be designed for several
sizes of the same greenhouse model and follows
relevant principles in EN1090-3, section 9 Assembly.
Safety Precautions
• Only carry out assembly in dry and calm weather.
• Make sure you have 1-2 assistants to help you.
• Always wear work gloves while glazing. Greenhouse
glass has sharp edges, especially if it breaks.
• Assistants, and especially children, must be warned
that broken glass presents a safety hazard. Pick up
all broken glass at once and remove it with care.
• Any ladders used must be placed on a level surface.
• If you leave the greenhouse during assembly,
please secure against weather conditions.
Location
The right location of the greenhouse is important
to create the best growth conditions for plants and
ensure the longevity of the greenhouse. The green-
house must be placed in a sunny position and
shielded from strong winds. As far as possible, avoid
positioning the greenhouse under trees as the
shade will encourage algae growth. Likewise, fallen
branches and leaves can damage the greenhouse
and clog up the gutters. We recommend that you
locate the greenhouse on your favourite spot in
your garden, especially if you want to use the
greenhouse for purposes other than growing
plants.
IMPORTANT: Before installing the greenhouse you
must create a flat and true surface at least as big as
the external dimensions of the greenhouse – this
will ease the setup of the greenhouse.
Base
There is not a base included with this product.
However, one of our pre-fabricated bases can be
purchased separately. If you purchase our pre-
fabricated base anchor holes must be deep enough
to extend below the frost line. Follow measurements
shown on the following pages. All measurements are
external measurements. If our pre-fabricated base
is used this is attached to the greenhouse at every
vertical glazing bar as shown on drawing.
The best assembly order:
1. Ensure level ground.
2. Mark holes according to drawing
– make sure diagonal measurements are identical.
3. Dig holes to extend below the frost line.
Follow local recommendations.
4. Add a bend on the end of the ground anchors
as shown on the drawing and mount afterwards.
5. Assemble base – ground anchors/square tubes
must stand freely in the holes.
6. Make sure that the base is 100% level and at a
straight angle. Make sure diagonal measurements
are identical.
7. Fill up the holes with concrete.
Example: a hole with dimensions Ø150 mm
and 900mm in depth needs approximately
16 liters of concrete.
8. Make sure that the base is still 100% level
and at a straight angle. Make sure diagonal
measurements are still identical.
Upon recommended time of curing you may start
assembling your greenhouse.
Locating The Greenhouse On A Solid Base
If the greenhouse is not going to be concreted down,
it must be secured using suitable brackets. Brackets/
bolts are not part of this purchase. If a pre-fabricated
base is used ground anchors should be cut off with
a hacksaw at the same height as the base.
Pre-fabricated base is designed for casting and
therefore additional drilling and purchase of ma-
terials for this purpose is to be expected. Be aware
that most insurance companies do not cover green-
houses that do not have a cast base.
Order of Assembly
Follow the assembly order as shown on the following
pages. Place components as shown on the drawing
and then assemble the section in the order shown in
the pictures. Do not tighten the nuts completely until
the entire section is assembled. When all sections
are complete the body of the greenhouse can be
assembled.
NOTICE: In several places the assembly instruction
shows that extra bolts must be inserted in the profiles.
These are to be used for attaching other parts later in
the process.
IMPORTANT: Before glazing make sure that the
gables and sides are level and straight, and bolts/nuts
are tightened firmly and in close contact with profiles.
A greenhouse should never be left partially glazed.
Glazing/Polycarbonate Installation
1. Clean glass and profiles.
2. Fit one pane at a time – add a 3 mm silicone
bead on profiles marked with blue lines.
3. Fit the pane and finish with cappings (#M).
NOTICE: cappings must be be fitted on both sides
of the pane simultaneously so that the glass remains
central.
Recommended order of glazing: roof – sides –
gables. A 3 mm bead of silicone is sufficient to
ensure maximum adhesion. If you use more silicone
than recommended, extra tubes can be purchased.
If you accidentally break a pane, carefully pull the
broken glass outwards and loosen the silicone using a
sharp craft knife. Clean the profile completely before
fitting a new pane of glass.
Polycarbonate Sheets
The illustrations show how to fit the sheets and strips.
If adjustment is necessary use a fine-tooth saw.
NOTICE: To avoid the growth of algae, do not allow
the polycarbonate sheets to come into contact
with the ground.
Doors and Windows
Add grease on the screws for the door to ease
assembly. Doors and vents should be glazed during
the initial assembly.
Tools
The tools recommended to assemble the green-
house are shown on the following pages.

Tips and Tricks
See www.juliana.com for more tips on assembly of
your greenhouse.
Maintenance
• Grease the hinges of the doors and lock
approximately every 6 months.
• Tighten bolts/nuts.
• Clean the gutters from leaves etc.
• Adjust windows if necessary.
• Replace broken glass.
• Clean the greenhouse before and after the
growing season.
Winter and Storm Protection
If you anticipate snow and/or a storm we recommend
the following:
• Support the roof section.
• Remove larger amounts of snow from the roof.
• Take precautions to prevent snow falling from
e.g. a tree or roof.
• Remove the cylinders from the automatic
window openers (accessory).
• Secure door(s) and window(s) to prevent wind
damage to the greenhouse.
Please note that not all insurance companies
automatically cover greenhouses.
12-year Guarantee
A full description of the guarantee can be found on
www.juliana.com. Provided that the greenhouse
is assembled and maintained according to the
requirements, the greenhouse is covered by a 12-year
guarantee. In case of missing parts/defects this must
be reported immediately.
General maintenance of the greenhouse such as
cleaning, lubrication, post-tensioning of nuts/screws
must be complied with, as this may affect the structural
quality of the greenhouse and its resistance to wind
and snow load.
Please note that the guarantee does not cover;
• Damage and functional problems due to lack of
lubrication and maintenance.
• Any paintwork is covered by a 2-year guarantee.
• Nuance differences in colour may occur and there
may be small marks on the profiles due to the painting
process. This is not covered by the guarantee.
• Glass, polycarbonate, freight, assembly, possible
removal, possible consequential damage, labour
costs, etc.
• Parts damaged by external influences, such as:
other building parts, climate impacts, vandalism,
force majeure or other external conditions. E.g.
remember to remove snow from the roof to avoid
possible breakage due to excessive weight.
• Wear parts (such as handles, wheels, sliders, cylinders
and locking devices). Wear parts must be replaced
on a regular basis depending on use and operation.
• Product defects arising from incorrect/in-appropriate
use of parts.
NOTICE: a greenhouse is a single-skin, dry-build
construction that is not 100% dense. Depending
on weather conditions, leaks may occur at roofs,
windows, doors and corners.
Complaints
All our greenhouses are built according to the
highest quality standards. However, should you
experience any problems, please contact your dealer
at once. When describing the defect, please state
the greenhouse model and component number.
Congratulations on your new greenhouse, which
we hope will bring you great joy for many years to
come.
