We recommend using the tools supplied to tighten bolts. Electric drills can lead to
cross threading issues and bolts shearing.

•
Extreme care should be taken when handling glass: always use appropriate gloves
and goggles while glazing. Greenhouse glass can have sharp edges, especially if
there are any breakages.
•
Do not, under any circumstances, climb step ladders whilst carrying glass.
•
If there are any breakages, pick up broken glass immediately taking care to keep
children and pets away until completely cleared.
•
We also recommend using protective gloves and goggles when fitting spring wire

Selecting a site
The location of your green-
house is very important. The
structure needs to get as much sunlight as much as possible but should not be exposed to high
winds. Try to avoid locating your greenhouse under trees as this will cast shade, which encour-
ages a build-up of algae and falling branches or leaves could cause damage to the structure or
block guttering. Sap from trees can make the glazing sticky and dirty so it lets in less light. Cre-
ating a level and square base is the most important step in successfully assembling your green-
house: selecting a site that is already quite level will make the assembly process much easier.
Site preparation
Please refer to the front cover of this booklet for the OVERALL dimensions of your greenhouse.
as well as a Hints and
If you are siting the greenhouse on earth, you will need to dig 6 holes for the ground anchors, as
shown in SECTION 0, FOUNDATION, approx. 300mm deep x 200mm in diameter. You will need
post concrete for the ground anchors and, depending on your soil type, you may need plastic
pipes to stop the ground crumbling in on itself. If you are siting the greenhouse on slabs/
concrete, cut the ground anchors off with a hack-saw so that they are level with the base as
shown in SECTION 8 LOCATING, pic 2. To secure the base down pour concrete into pre dug
holes with ground anchors situated in place. For slab/concrete foundation, using the L-shaped
brackets provided, drill into the concrete/slabs using a 7mm masonry drill bit and secure
using 7mm plugs and 6mm x 50mm screws minimum, as shown in SECTION 10 FINISHING.
