REAR END ASSEMBLY
Components
Built in base Cill “marked rear end”
Glazing bars
2 Roof Corner Bars (marked “R” at the apex)
2 Side Corner Bars
2 Diagonal cross ties
1 Horizontal brace
From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts. You will also require 2 eave
plates and 1 ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separate from the main
bag of fittings.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Lay out the frame as though you were standing on the inside i.e.
with the two bolt slots uppermost. Roof corners marked “R” at
the apex, opposite each other, facing downwards (i.e. “R” on
outside). Roof corner bars are mitred at both ends where as side
corner bars are mitred at one end only (Key point). The bolt
slot is on the inside and faces inwards during initial construc-
tion. If you have a powder coated greenhouse there is no letter
“R” on the corner bar. You must ensure that the “middle” hole
is nearer to the ridge plate than the eaves plate (Key point).
Slide the glazing beading into the V groove of the glazing bar and the corner bars. (Do
not put beading into the middle V slot of the corner bar).
2. Slide two bolts into the bolt channels of each corner bar (1 each end). These will later be used
in the general assembly for fixing the ridge, eave and built in base cill to the ends. Now se
cure the Ridge Gusset Plate and Eaves Gusset Plates by inserting bolts through the ‘plates’
and into the holes punched in the flange of the corner bar, at the apex and eave.
3.
Attach the built in base cill to the side corner bars by inserting a bolt through the hole in the
flange of the corner bar and into the slot in the built in base cill. (Make sure bolt channel of
base section is facing upwards). (Key point).
4. Attach the vertical glazing bars to the built in base by inserting a bolt into the bolt channel of
the glazing bars and locating it with the punched holes in the built in base cill. Before secur-
ing the nuts attach the angle diagonal ties to the same bolt as illustrated. The top of the diago-
nal angle tie now attaches to the hole in the side corner bar approx 300mm from the top of the
bar.
5. Slide two bolts into the bolt channel at the top of the two vertical glazing bars and secure the
second one to the roof corner bars by inserting the bolt through the punched hole in the
flange.
6. You can now attach the horizontal angle brace to the top bolt of the gusset plate and to the
other bolts in the glazing bars you inserted in 5, above.
