  • Page 7 SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY When you come to the greenhouse itself start by assembling the side frames first. The base is integrated with the cill for each side of the greenhouse, and is assembled onto each subassembly rather than separately laid out. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing inside the house, i.e.

  • Page 13 Remember, the door end glazing bars are 95 mm longer than the rear end ones and do  not sit on top of the base (as the rear end glazing bars do), they go down the side of the base and attached to the bottom cill. (Key point) Attach the rectangular plate (with 3 holes) to the 2 bolts inserted in the glazing bars and the last bolt inserted into the base ensuring that the glazing bar is tight down into the angle of the door end cill.
  • Page 14 DOOR END ASSEMBLY At a later stage, when the top door track has been attached, the precise height and position of the track and support can be established.

  • Page 16 FITTING THE DOOR HANDLES The handle is fitted to the infill panel on the door (choose between 1st or 2nd panel down). Position the handle centrally, and mark the hole position. Drill 7mm diameter holes (2 holes per door), then fit the handle, and secure with a nut and bolt.
  • Page 17 FITTING THE DOOR LOCK The door lock must be fitted after the door is in position (Key Point). Undo the ring bolt from the door lock, and insert the barrel through the hole in the panel from the outside. Reattach the ring bolt to the barrel on the inside, and tighten.
  • Page 18 FINISHING OFF To prevent the door from sliding past its opening, you must fix 2 angle brackets to the door end as- sembly. Insert a cropped head bolt into the bolt channel at the top of the left hand glazing bar (viewed from the inside) and fix and angle bracket as shown in the picture below.
  • Page 19 ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY The roof vent pack has 5 pieces of aluminium: and from the main box of fittings you require: 6’ of glazing beading 4 nuts and bolts 2 casement stay pins 1 casement stay 6 M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.

  • Page 21 ASSEMBLY OF GREENHOUSE UNIT 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 eaves 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 22 Slide the glazing beading into the V groove of the roof glazing bars. They can now be attached 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. Put a nut on and tighten up.
  • Page 23 The greenhouse is now ready for lifting on to its permanent base. If you are fitting the greenhouse onto soft ground, you now need to dig 1 hole (approx 1 spade width) in each of the 4 corners. Lift the greenhouse into position. For soft ground fixing, you now need to attach the cor- ner bracket (base anchor) to the bolt slot of the side and end using the end of the bracket that has 2 holes as oppose to 4.
  • Page 24 FITTING THE RAMP The final aluminium piece of the greenhouse is the door end ramp cill. The ramp is at- tached to the door end cill by engaging the nub of the door end cill to the ‘C’ groove of the ramp.

  • Page 26 Now attach the aluminium base to the 2 side base sections of the greenhouse. Firstly bolt an anchor bracket on each end of the partition base. If you are on flags or concrete cut off the surplus metal of the corner bracket. Position the base under the partition cill and attach it to the side base walls by inserting a bolt into each bolt slot of the side base.
