- Page 19 The first operation is to connect the two side frames to the end frames to form the outer shape of the completed structure. Another pair of willing hands would be useful at this stage. Lift the first side frame into its position by the rear end. Slot the combined eaves and gutter bar into the small space between the roof and side corner bar so that the gutter is outside the end frame and the two flanges that form the angle of the roof and side are inside and tight up against the bolt slots of the roof and side corner bar.
- Page 20 Slide the glazing beading into the V groove of the roof glazing bars. They can now be at- tached to the ridge and gutter. Attach them to the ridge first by sliding a bolt into the bolt slot of the glazing bar, inserting it through the hole in the flange of the ridge.
- Page 21 NOW YOU CAN FIT THE VENT TO THE RIDGE Slide the roof vent onto the ridge from either end and into the desired position. If you have a 4’ long greenhouse or your vent is positioned next to either gable, drill a 7mm hole in the roof corner bar (near the top).
- Page 22 FITTING THE DOOR TO THE STRUCTURE The door slides onto the frame from the left hand side. You may find it easier to slide the door be- fore the lock is fitted. Put the door bottom rail into the bottom door track (door end cill) and slide to the right, feed the first wheel into the upper door track and move further to the right until the black draught excluder butts up to the end glazing bars.
- Page 23 FITTING THE KEEP FOR THE LOCK SINGLE DOOR The cam on the lock must locate onto a door keep which is fitted to the left hand glazing bar (when viewed from outside) of the door gable end. The keep has 2 horizontal slots on one face. Insert 2 cropped head bolts into the bolt channel of the left hand glazing bar and line up with the slots in the keep.
- Page 24 GLAZING THE STRUCTURE Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. HORTICULTURAL GLASS AND MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS Starting with the bottom pane of one side, offer the pane to the glazing bars. Hold it in place by inserting two of the stainless steel band clips six inches from the bottom of the glass.
