ASSEMBLY OF GREENHOUSE UNIT 

 

The first operation is to connect the two side frames to the end frames to form the outer shape of the 
completed structure. Another pair of willing hands would be useful at this stage. 
 
1. 

Lift the first side frame into its position by the rear end. 

 
2. 

Slot the eaves bar into the small space between the roof and side corner bar so that the gutter 
is outside the end frame and the two flanges that form the angle of the roof and side are inside 
and tight up against the bolt slots of the roof and side corner bar. 

(Key Point). 

 

3. 

The extra bolts that were inserted in the bolt slots 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

.  (Key Point).

 

 
5. 

The 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 built in base. 
Likewise with the corner bracket, this can now be attached to the end built in base utilising the 
bolts inserted at frame assembly. 

 
6. 

Do the same at the other three corners. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
7. 

Slide  the  glazing  beading  into  both  sides  of  the ridge  before  attaching  the  ridge  to  the  roof 
corner bars 

(Key Point). 

Insert 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, pointing skywards and the two flanges 
that form the angle of the roof will be inside, tight up against the bolt slots of the roof corner 
bars. 

 
8. 

Line up the slotted holes at  the end of the  ridge with 
the  bolt  slots  in  the  corner  bars.  Push  the  two  bolts, 
previously inserted during the gable end assembly into 
the slots. Put on nut and tighten.
