You should use the image on the front cover as a reference as to what
the greenhouse should look like as you go along.
If you are going to treat the greenhouse yourself then it would be best to do it before
you begin building the frame.
Set out your metal base on your prepared site, but don’t fix this down until the greenhouse
is complete. Follow the manual and build the sections as recommended.
When screwing through one piece of timber into another it is always recommended to pre-drill the
first piece. This will prevent the timber from splitting which could weaken the structure.
Glazing the structure is very simple but be very careful of the edges of the glass as the pane will
break into tiny pieces if you catch an edge on a hard surface such as concrete. You should also wear
suitable gloves when handling the glass (this also helps to keep it clean).
Option of gluing joints. This is not required for strength but you may do it if you wish. However bear
in mind if you ever intend to move or adapt the greenhouse in the future this would make it very
difficult. The best glue for this would be Poly Urethane Wood Adhesive. Take care when applying
this, you only need a very small amount as the glue expands to fill the joint. If you use too much it
may seep out of the joint and could be unsightly! Try a test piece before you start.
Read through the rest of this manual before starting, you are less likely to miss something
doing this and you will have a better understanding of how it all works.
