· NOT TO DAMAGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON CONCRETE OR PATIOS. N.B. This plan covers the entire Strata range. The only difference between a 6ft long and · an 8ft long for example are a few extra pieces of alloy, glass, nuts and bolts etc. The con- struction of the sub-frame assemblies is the same but for the purposes of this booklet we have used the 8 x 6 model as the benchmark. - Page 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 6 3 WIDE MODEL STRATA RANGE THE CONTENTS OF THIS CARTON ARE DIVIDED INTO DIFFERENT FRAME AS- SEMBLIES THAT COLLECTIVELY MAKE UP THE COMPLETED GREENHOUSE FRAMEWORK. It is recommended that each framework assembly is fully completed before moving onto the next.
- 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 sub- assembly rather than separately laid out. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing inside the house, i.e.

Page 9: Rear End Assembly
REAR END ASSEMBLY Components 1 Built in base marked rear end 2 Glazing bars 2 Roof corner bars (marked R at the apex) 2 Side corner bars 2 Diagonal angles 1 Horizontal angle From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts. You will also require 2 eave gus- set plates and 1 ridge gusset plate. - Page 10 Check that all angles between the built in base and the vertical members are at right angles and that the glazing bars are right into the built in base at the bottom. (Key Point). Tighten all nuts. Slide a bolt into the bolt slot in the built in base section, one at each end. The corner bracket/ angle base leg is approx.

- Page 13 The door end block glazing bar has 2 continuous bolt channels along its length. During con- struction the bolt channels will always be on the inside of the greenhouse. For description pur- poses we shall refer to these as the inside channel and the outside channel . Viewed from the inside, the left hand block bar will have the outside channel on the left of the bar, and the inside channel will be on the right hand side of the bar, and visa versa on the right hand block bar.
- Page 14 When this has been achieved tighten all nuts. Slide a bolt into the bolt slot in the built in base section, one at each end. Attach the angle base leg/corner bracket so that it is pointing downwards. If you are fitting your greenhouse onto soft ground, then do not fit the corner bracket yet.

- Page 16 DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY Follow the procedure below for each door. Components consist of: 2 door glazing bars for each door (1 handed, 1 unhanded) (handed posts of each door meet in the middle) 3 infill panels 2 top and bottom door panels From the main bag of fittings you require for each door: 2 door wheels 2 clip on nylon door skids...
- Page 17 Turn the door over and insert the black rubber draught excluders in the groove (bolt slot) in each unhanded door glazing bar. Push up to the top of the door glazing bar and trim off the surplus at the bottom. With a pair of pliers squeeze the groove together at the bottom so that the rubber will not slip down when the door is in its upright position.
- Page 18 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 PROCEDURE: Identify the slam bar and attach the 2 stay pins to the outer side of the angle using the M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.

- Page 20 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 21 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. Put a nut on and tighten up.
- Page 22 When the vent is in position and it opens and closes correctly, you can now insert a black flexible tube into the same channel of the ridge that the vent slides. Move the tube along the ridge until it meets the vent. Now insert a self tapping screw into the long side of the tube to expand the tube to remain in position.
- Page 23 FITTING THE DOORS TO THE STRUCTURE The doors slide onto the frame form opposite sides of the door tracks. For the left hand door put the door bottom rail into the bottom door guide which is also the door end cill and slide to the right, feed the first wheel into the top door track and move further to the right, carefully ease the door past the glazing bar and feed in the second wheel until the black draught exclud- er butts up to the end glazing bars.

In the box you will find packs marked; Partition corner bars Partition door end cill Partition door end Partition door track Partition door panels Partition door posts Partition built in base...
- Page 25 Firstly bolt a corner bracket/angle base leg on each end of the partition built in base. If you are on flags or concrete cut off the surplus metal of the corner bracket/angle base leg. Attach it to the side built in base walls by inserting a bolt into the slot of the side built in base. Line up the angle base leg/ corner bracket with the bolt slot, put nuts on and prior to tightening up, make sure the partition built in base and side built in base are tight up against each other.
- Page 26 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 clips six inches from the bottom of the glass.

- Page 28 FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS (EN12150 The main differences in application between the two types of glazing are: If you have purchased bar capping as an optional extra you do not use the band clips you use the wire clips instead, the capping goes over the bar and hides the wire clips from view.
