Dear Customer!
The assembly of your new greenhouse
requires no technical knowledge. However, it
is important that the assembly instructions
are strictly followed.
The assembly instruction is a combination of
text and illustrations. The profiles are packed
seperatly in numbered packs corresponding
to the order in the assembly instruction.
Erect one pack at a time. All nuts and bolts
and fittings are found in bag No. 0 (specified
on page 6). Each pack is specified in separate
lists of components.
All detailed illustrations are marked with
symbols:
seen from inside
seen from outside.
Precautions.
• Assembly must only be carried out in dry
and calm weather.
• Always use working gloves while glazing.
Greenhouse glass has sharp edges,
especially if the glass breaks.
• Assistants and especially children must be
warned that broken glass is an element of
danger. Pick up broken glass at once and
remove it with care.
• We recommend to use protective glasses
while fixing the spring wire clips.
• Place the ladder on a level support.
• It is essential to have an assistant.

The base is not included in this delivery.
However, an optional base can be bought
separately. It ensures you have a stable and
easy to build base.
If you make your own base the measurements
indicated must be external measurements.
If you buy an optional base you furthermore
need about 75 litres of concrete and 6 plastic-/
concrete pipes of about 800 mm which
are placed in a non-freezing depth for the
fastening of the corner and middle anchors.
The base must be 100% level and square; the
latter is ensured by checking that the two
diagonal measurements are equal.
Tools
The mounting of the greenhouse requires the
tools shown on page 6.
Page 8–18
Place the components as shown on the
illustration and assemble in the order shown
in the pictures. Do not tighten the nuts
completely until the front gable construction
has been assembled.
Page 7: Fastening to the base.
When constructing your own base you
have to drill holes (7 mm) in the ground
frame between all the vertical frames, the
greenhouse is then fastened to the base with
screws (A).
Using an optional base the greenhouse is
fastened to each vertical bar as shown on
drawing B.
Fitting of glass/polycarbonate
Important before glazing!
Make sure that gables and sides are
level and square, and that door(s) and
window(s) are functioning perfectly.
Best order of assembly:
1) Rear gable — 2) Front gable — 3) Sides —
4) Frame assembly — 5) Roof and bracing
6) Doors — 7) Vents — 8) Glazing
Remember to insert exstra bolts, in profile
no. 08615 and no. 12237.
Page 19–21: Glazing. Degrease the
sheets and frames with spirit.
Start glazing from below, one glass at a time.
Fit glazing strip (411) to all glazing bars, gable
bars and corner posts before you begin to
glaze the greenhouse.
Spring wire clips and glassholders are to be
fitted as shown.

Page 22: Mounting of polycarbonate.
The illustrations at page 32 show where to
mount them. The type indication states the
length in mm. A possible adjustment is made
by means of a fine-tooth saw.
NB!
To avoid the formation of algae the
polycarbonate sheets must not come into
contact with the ground. Rest them on a piece
of cardboard.
J-, K-, L-, M-lists
are mounted as shown on
page 22.
Sealing of the polycarbonate sheets.
The sheets may be sealed against insects.
Close the top end off with alu-tape or silicone.
The bottom only with airstrip tape to let
condensation out (available at your local
dealer).
Now your greenhouse is completely
assembled. However, please notice the
following:
Maintenance
• Grease doors (hinges and lock or
doortrack).
• Clean the gutter for leaves, etc.
• Adjustment of windows.
• Replacement of broken glass.
• Clean the greenhouse with disinfectant
before and after the growing season.
Winter Protection
In areas with occurrence of snow we
recommend the following winter protection:
• Support the roof ridge at the centre of the
greenhouse.
• Remove greater snow loads from the roof.
• Take precautions against snow falling down
from for instance a tree or a roof.
• Dismount the cylinders for the automatic
window openers, if any (optional extras).
• Secure door(s) and window(s) preventing
wind damage to the greenhouse.
Insurance
Please note that not all insurance companies
cover greenhouses automatically. Please
contact your insurance company to ensure an
insurance coverage.
