  • Page 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 5’3” WIDE MODEL “STREAMLINE RANGE” The contents of this carton are divided into the different frame assemblies that collectively make up the completed greenhouse framework. It is recommended that each framework assembly is fully completed before moving onto the next. The contents are as follows: Two side frames Rear end frame...
  • Page 7 SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY STARTING with the side frame—with a built in base model the base is an integral part of each frame, and is therefore not built as a separate entity. Components 1 Gutter/eave bar 1 Built in base Glazing bars 1 if 4’m long, 2 in 6’long, 3 if 8’ long, 4 if 10’ long and 5 if 12’ long Side diagonal brace 1 if 4’...

Lay out the component parts on the ground as though you were standing on the inside of a completed green- house, i.e. with the bolt slots uppermost.

  • Page 9: Rear End Assembly

    REAR END ASSEMBLY N.B. The roof corner bars are marked “R” on the outside, which indicate that they meet at the ridge and are also mitred at both ends. If you have a painted greenhouse there is no letter “R” on the cor- ner bar.
  • Page 10 From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts, two eave plates and one ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separated from the main bag of fittings. Components: 1 alloy built in base 2 glazing bars 2 rear end diagonal bracing angles 1 horizontal brace...
  • Page 11 You can now attach the rear end horizontal angle to the top bolt of the eave plate and to the other bolts in the glazing bars you inserted in 6, above. Check that all angles between built in base and the vertical members are at 90 degrees and that the glazing bars are right into the upper angle of the built in base at the bottom.
  • Page 12 DOOR END ASSEMBLY From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts, 2 eave plates and 1 ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separate from the main bag of fittings. Components 2 door end built in base 1 end glazing bars 2 side corner bars (unmarked)
  • Page 13 Stand the frame up and bolt the door track to the main door track support by inserting 3 bolts into the bolt slot of the door track. Position these through the 3 holes in the door track support above the door opening. Position the main door track central to the greenhouse.
  • Page 15 DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY Each Door consists of: 1 unhanded door post 1 handed door post (handed post for left door is different profile to the handed right hand door post) 3 infill panels (1 with pre fabricated lock hole– right hand door only) for lock barrel 1 top and bottom door panels 3 panels of glass which must be fitted during door assembly.
  • Page 16 Before fitting the unhanded door post, offer the glass panels to the door (see glazing plan in booklet for glass size guide on door), slide them in from the side. Carefully attach the unhand- ed door post in the same way as before, ensuring the glass is sitting in the correct position (sitting on the beading channels of the door posts) before tightening the screws.

  • Page 18: Fitting The Door Handles

    FITTING THE DOOR HANDLES The handles are fitted to the infill panel on each door (choose between 1st or 2nd panel down). Posi- tion the handle centrally, and mark the hole position. Drill 7mm diameter holes (2 holes per door), then fit the handles, and secure with a nut and bolt.
  • 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. 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 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 The roof bars can now be attached to the ridge and gutter. Slide the glazing beading into the grooves on each bar. Glazing beading is not required under the roof vents. Attach them to the ridge first by sliding a bolt into the bolt slot of the glazing bar and inserting it through the hole in the flange of the ridge.
  • Page 23 Lift the greenhouse into position. For soft ground fixing, you now need to attach the cor- ner bracket to the bolt slot of the side and end using the end of the corner bracket that has 2 oval holes as opposed to 4 round ones. The corner bracket must be attached in such a way that the end with 4 holes is pointing down into the hole previously made.
  • Page 24 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 excluder butts up to the end glazing bars.

  • Page 25: Finishing Off

    FITTING THE DOOR LOCK The door lock must be fitted after the doors are 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. Re-attach the ring bolt to the barrel on the inside, and tighten.
  • Page 26 GLAZING THE STRUCTURE Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. If you intend to fit bar capping, please read the capping installation sheet before you start glazing the greenhouse. The capping installation sheet can be found in- side the box containing bar capping along with the capping screws.
  • Page 27 STREAMLINE HORTICULTURAL GLASS/ & MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS Width Length Louvre: one 610 x 140 and the louvre replaces one @ A. The louvre must be sandwiched between the 610 x 140 and the A pane, and must go on the rear gable (horticultural glass application only).
  • Page 28 FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS (EN12150). The main difference in application between the two types of glazing is: Toughened glass is in large sheets. If you have ordered bar capping see separate sheet detailing the application of the capping. There are no overlaps: where there are two or more panes in a section they are butt jointed with a P.V.C overlap strip - called a muntin.
  • Page 29 STREAMLINE TOUGHENED GLASS The quantities above will change slightly if you have ordered extra vents and louvres N.B. If you have a louvre fitted in the rear or the side, replace one @ ref 13 with 610mm x274mm, the louvre and 1 –...
