3. The extra bolts that were inserted in the bolt slots of the corner bars during the gable end
assembly can now be used.
4.
Line up the elongated holes in the flanges of the
eaves with the bolt slots and slide the bolts into
them. Put a nut on the top bolt and tighten up. Place
the diagonal side angle onto the bottom bolt, put a
nut on and tighten up
. (Key point).
5. If fitting to a hard standing (built in base model on-
ly) ensure bolts are inserted into bolt channel of
base for anchoring down, (1 every 2’). In addition
add 1 extra bolt to each end of all base sections to
enable corner bracket to be fitted.
6.
The bottom cill/built in base attaches to the inside
of the corner bar. The bolt placed in the corner bar bolt slot at gable end assembly will slide
down into the slotted hole at the end of the cill.
Do the same at the other three corners.
7. Slide the beading into the two V slots of the ridge bar
(Key point),
then attach the ridge to the
roof corner bars by inserting the end of the ridge through the small gap in the corner bars at
the top. The vertical part of the ridge will be outside and pointing skywards and the two flang-
es that form the angle of the roof will be inside, tight up against the bolt slots of the roof cor-
ner bars.
8.
Line up the slotted holes at the end of the ridge with the bolt slots in the corner bars and push
the two bolts, previously inserted during gable end assembly, into the slots. Put on nut and
tighten.
9.
Slide the glazing beading into the V groove of the roof glazing bars.
10. Before fitting the roof bars, you must decide on the position of the roof vent(s) and insert 1
additional bolt per bar onto which the vent will be fitted. This bolt will allow the slam bar to
be fitted. In addition, your greenhouse comes as standard with cantilever braces on every al-
ternate bar (unless you have purchased additional cantilever bars). For each cantilever bar you
must insert 1 bolt into the bolt channel of each roof bar the cantilever will attach to. (Match
this to the same bolt position on side assembly). A cantilever is also fitted across the ridge be-
tween 2 roof glazing bars, so add an extra bolt to each roof bar that a cantilever will fix to.
