SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY
When you come to the greenhouse itself start by assembling the side frames first.
1. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing inside the house, i.e. with the
gutter and cill facing downwards, and the bolt channels of the glazing bar(s) upwards. (Key Point).
2.
Slide a bolt into each end of each glazing bar. (If you have bought a shelf to go in your green-
house and you intend to fit it on a side wall, use the ½” headed bolts provided with the shelf fittings
- these can be inserted later).
3. Fix the combined eaves bar/gutter to the glazing bar(s) by pushing the bolts through the holes
in the eaves bar, and securing with a nut. You do not need to tighten the nuts too much at this stage,
but they need to be tight enough to stop the bolts slipping out of the glazing bar.
4.
Fix the cill to the middle glazing bar by pushing the bolt through the hole in the cill unit and
tightening.
5.
Correctly position the cill on the outer most glazing bars by pushing the bolts through the
holes in the cill, but do not put the nuts on yet.
6.
Place the angled tie bars over these bolts so that they point outwards towards the ends of
eaves bar. They must be so arranged that the flat bit of the angle in each case faces towards the mid-
dle of the house (i.e. the elongated slit will be by the eaves in one case and by the cill in the other).
(Key Point).
7. Put nuts on bottom bolts and lightly tighten.
8. Do the same with the other side frame assembly
9. Make sure that the glazing bars reach both the cill and the eaves in each case. Tighten all nuts.
