Overview

This manual uses a 10 ft x 10 ft greenhouse as an
example throughout. Look out for tables and extra diagrams
showing the varying sizes. You can 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 predrill
the first piece. This will prevent the timber from splitting which could weaken the structure.
You can build the sides and gables flat on the ground and then with help or using a prop position the
first one ready for installation. You then work your way around the greenhouse connecting each
section. Once you have completed the gables and sides you can install the ridge and the roof.
To build your new greenhouse you will need the following tools:
Spirit Level Pencil
PZ2 Screwdriver Bit Cordless Screwdriver (2 would be ideal, 1 to drill and 1 to screw)
4mm Drill Bit
7mm Masonry Bit
Hammer Drill Hammer
Wooden/Rubber Mallet Tall step ladders x 2
There are 8 different types of screws used in the construction of the greenhouse. These are as
follows, with examples of where to look out for them:
