Base Preparation
Refer to the base plan supplied with your order confirmation and on the opposite page for dwarf wall
dimensions.
It is necessary to leave sufficient working room around your greenhouse when you're putting it up
and also to allow for the possible need to replace a piece of glass in the future. If possible try and
leave a minimum space of 2ft/610mm around the greenhouse.
Note that the door opens inwards so you should not have any higher ground or obstacles inside the
arc of the front door.
Locate the greenhouse where there is maximum amount of sunlight
and avoid if poss
i
ble any shade
from trees, fences or other buildings. Over-hanging branches can be a particular nuisance and should
be avoided.
Choose a site where the greenhouse is relatively easy to get to and convenient to bring water to and
possibly a supply of electricity.
Finally, and most importantly, choose a site where your Alton Greenhouse will look right so that it
will complement your garden.
IMPORTANT
: Do not anchor your greenhouse down until it is fully assembled including glazing
unless you are 100% sure your base is square and level. If not your glass will not fit properly.
