SECURING GREENHOUSE TO PERMANENT BASE
The main structure is now complete and it must now be fitted onto its base for securing down.
SQUARING UP
You must make sure that the structure is level and square. Put one pane of glass (a 610x610mm
piece would be sufficient) in each corner of roof, each pane must be level with the small glass re-
taining lip just above the gutter and be running parallel with the roof glazing bars. Each corner must
be the same. If one corner is out, the corner diagonally opposite will also be out. By carefully push-
ing and pulling each corner diagonally you will be able to see the frame move in and out of square
with the glass.
HARD STANDING
Having established the square of the greenhouse, drill the patio or concrete in the required positions,
fit plastic plugs (not supplied as standard) and screw the brackets (attached during subassembly)
firmly to the ground using 35mm x 8mm round head screws (not supplied as standard).
SOIL FLOOR
Determine the square of the greenhouse as described above, dig holes approx. 1 spade depth in the
corners, make a mix of concrete and put a couple of shovelfuls around the base of each stake.
When the concrete has gone off backfill with the soil excavated earlier on.
