Dear Customer!
The assembly of your new house requires a bit of
technical knowledge. However, it is important that
the assembly instructions are followed strict-ly. The
assembly instruction is a combination of text and
illustrations. The profiles are packed in separate
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 12). 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.

Foundation
The base is not included in this delivery.
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 12.
Page 14-26:
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.

(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 original base the greenhouse is fastened
to each vertical bar as shown on drawing B.
Page 22-25:
For an easier assembly we recommend that you oil
the screws for the doors /windows.
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) Windows – 2) Roof – 3) Doors – 4) Gables – 5)
Sides

Glazing (illustration 1 to 8)
Degrease the sheets and frames with
acetone.
Start glazing from below, one glass at a time.
Apply a 3 mm silicone line on the vertical frames
where indicated (dotted lines on the illustration).
(A 3 mm line of silicone is sufficient to obtain
maximum attachment). If you do use more than
recommended, you can buy extra tubes.
Spring wire clips and glassholders are to be fitted
as shown.

In case of broken glass carefully pull it outwards
and loosen the silicone by means of a sharp craft
knife.
Clean the profile completely before inserting a new
pane of glass.

Mounting of polycarbonate
The illustrations at the bottom of page 31 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.
A-lists
are mounted as shown on page 31. Put
the sheet into the bottom list, bend the sheet slightly
outwards and put it in the top list.
M-lists
are mounted as shown on page 31. Place
the upper part of the list under the alu. profile in the
whole length of the sheet and hereafter click on the
list from above.
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:
