Page 5: Helpful Hints
HELPFUL HINTS Please do take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling. Do not assemble frame in high winds. The greenhouse frame should be anchored to a permanent foundation. This will not only help secure it against powerful winds, but will help prevent breakage of the glass caused by the freezing and thawing process of the earth. -
Page 6: Pre-Assembly
PRE-ASSEMBLY Building regulations may be required for this greenhouse. Because local building codes vary, be sure to check before setting up the greenhouse. In deciding the location of the greenhouse, consider the following: Make sure that you do not locate the greenhouse beneath a tree where branches could fall and dam- age it. - Page 7 Use hand shears rather then a powered string trimmer when trimming glass around the base of the greenhouse. Make sure that the catch at the top of the door is latched when no one is in the green house. Do not latch the door when anyone is inside the greenhouse. Be aware of the increased temperature inside the greenhouse on a sunny day and equip the greenhouse with a thermometer.

Push the gutter/eave bar into the small gap between the roof and side corner bars so that the slotted holes at the end of the eave flanges line up with the bolt slot in the corner bar.

Firstly identify these two sections and then slide the vent onto the ridge from one end. With the vent in the open position, push the vent along the ridge until it covers the section where the vent is to be situated.
