The assembly of your new greenhouse requires no technical
knowledge. However, it is important that the assembly instruc-
tions are strictly followed. The assembly instruction is a combina-
tion of text and illustrations. The profiles are packed separately in
numbered packs corresponding to the order in the assembly
instruction. Erect one pack at a time. All nuts bolts and fittings are
found in bag No. 0 (specified on page 12). Each pack is specified
in separate lists of components. All detailed illustrations are
marked with symbols:
Precautions
•
Assembly must be carried out in dry, calm weather.
•
Always use working gloves while glazing. Greenhouse
glass has sharp edges, especially if it breaks.
•
Assistants and especially children must be warned bro-
ken glass is an element of danger. Pick up broken glass
at once and remove with care.
•
We recommend to use protective glasses while fixing
spring wire glazing clips.
•
Place the ladder on a level support.
•
It is essential to have an assistant.
Tools
The mounting of the greenhouse requires the tools shown on
page 12.
Foundation
If you are not using the pre-fabricated base for this greenhouse,
you must have an alternative base to raise the frame off the
ground, otherwise the door will not run correctly. If you are mak-
ing your own base, the measurements indicated must be external
measurements. We recommend 19mm x 32mm pressure treated
timber for DIY base, also for wall battens. For the pre-fabricated
base, you furthermore need about 75 litres of concrete and 4 or 6
(depending on the size of greenhouse) plastic concrete pipes of
about 800mm which are placed in a non-freezing depth for the
fastening of the corner and/ or middle anchors. The base must be
100% level and square; the latter is ensured by checking the two
diagonal measurements are equal.
The base must be 100% level and square; the latter is ensured
by checking the two diagonal measurements are equal. For the
pre-fabricated base on a solid foundation i.e. concrete pad, slabs
or sleppers, the ground anchors will need to be cut to the height
of the base with a hack saw as they are also corner brackets.
Fitting of glass
Important before glazing!
Make sure that the gables and sides are level and
square, and that the door(s) and window(s) are
functioning perfectly.
Best order of assembly:
1) Rear gable
2) Front gable
3) Sides
4) Frame assembly
5) Roof and bracing
6) Doors
7) Vents
8) Glazing
Remember to insert extra bolts in profiles 1711 to fit 08615 and
299. Note 299 is only required in the 106 Popular.

Fit glazing strip (411) to all glazing bars, gable bars and corner
posts (vertical bars) before you begin to glaze the greenhouse.
Start glazing the roof first (working from the bottom up for horti-
cultural glass), one pane at a time.
Spring wire clips and glass holder clips are to be fitted as shown.

Maintenance
•
Grease doors (hinges and lock or door track).
•
Clean the gutter for leaves, etc.
•
Adjustment of windows.
•
Replacement of broken glass.
•
Clean the greenhouse with disinfectant before and after
the growing season.
Winter Protection
In areas with occurrence of snow we recommend the following
winter protection.
•
Support the roof ridge at the centre of the greenhouse.
•
Remove greater snow loads from the roof.
•
Take precautions against snow falling down from a tree
for instance, or a roof.
•
Dismount the cylinders for the automatic window open-
ers, if any (optional extras).

Secure door(s) and window(s) preventing wind damage
to the greenhouse.
