Glass
For both toughened glass and horticultural glass, please refer to the relevant glass plans towards the
rear of this booklet.
* If your building is longer than 6’5’’, the extra bar for the roof and front are in the longer box
which contains the gutter, ridge and cills e.g. a 10 x 6 would have an extra 2 front bars, roof bars,
angles and flat bars in the longer box
.
HELPFUL HINTS
Please do take your time during construction and follow the safety code.
·
Read all instructions carefully.
·
Ensure that your base is level and square and built to the precise measurements indicated on
the base section of this booklet.
·
Base must be 90º to the wall it leans against.
·
Do not alter the dimensions or shape of any component unless indicated to do so.
·
This plan covers the entire range of 6’ wide lean-to models and their options including door
positions (front, gable end or double front), louvre location, shelf construction and vent
construction.
·
It is therefore possible that you may have remaining components on the completion of
construction. The reason for this would be because one option has been chosen in preference
to another.
·
This detailed assembly instruction booklet will explain the construction procedures you
require to correctly install your particular structure.
·
For the purpose of coloured models:
1. There may be some jig holes in some bars, these holes play no part in the
assembly but assist in the painting process.
2. Extra care must be taken in assembly of all coloured models so as not to scratch the
paint and hence affect the appearance of the structure.
SAFETY
·
When using electrical equipment outside always use a circuit breaker.
·
Do not attempt to construct frame or glazing of lean-to in high winds.
·
Glass is fragile, so safety gloves and eye protection should be worn when glazing any part
of the structure.
·
Please remember that if lean-to is to be situated over an entrance to a house or dwelling,
4mm safety glass must be used to eave level. Horticultural glass is unacceptable in this
situation.
·
Do not place structure in vulnerable situation. Children should not play near glass
greenhouses.
·
Failure to observe these rules could result in personal injury or property damage.
