9. The roof bars can now be attached to the ridge and gutter. Slide the glazing beading into the
grooves on each bar. Glazing beading is not required under the roof vents. Attach them to the
ridge first by sliding a bolt into the bolt slot of the glazing bar and inserting it through the hole
in the flange of the ridge. Put a nut on and tighten up. Do the same with the rest of the roof
bars.
10. Before bolting the bottom of the roof bar to the
flange of the eave bar, insert extra bolts.
Where the vent is to be positioned put an extra
one bolt per bar 1.e. the vent covers two glaz-
ing bars so two extra bolts per vent.
(Key
Point) . Then attach the final nut and bolt to the
eave bar as illustrated.
NOW YOU CAN FIT THE VENT TO THE RIDGE
11. Slide the vent onto the ridge from either end and into the desired position. Before sliding the
vent into the ridge, slide a piece of black tube into the vent hinge socket. Slide the vent into
position, insert a small self tapping screw into the tube approximately ½ way along the tubes
length then tighten the screw. The tube will expand and lock into position thus preventing
sideways movement of the vent.
N.B. There is no hole for the screw but it will easily push into the tube and screw up.
(Key
Point). You only require one tube per vent on the left hand side of the vent socket (viewed
from inside the greenhouse).
If your greenhouse is 4’ long, or you are positioning the vent in the end bay, then you will not
be able to fit the black tube to the outside edge. You must drill a hole in the roof corner bar
and attach an angle bracket in such a way that it almost touches the roof vent side rail, there-
fore preventing the vent from sliding
(see picture).
The vent overlaps the two glazing bars that it covers so is therefore wider than the opening.
Having slid the vents from the end on the ridge to the desired position, you can now fit
the “slam bars” to the 2 glazing bars. Utilise the bolts you inserted during general
assembly and position the “slam bars” just under the vent allowing the casement stay to
effectively close. The slam bar can be adjusted later to facilitate good opening and
closing of the vent.
12. Do not fit the door at this stage.
13. The greenhouse is now ready for lifting on to its permanent base.
14. If you are fitting the greenhouse onto soft ground, you now need to dig 1 hole (approx. 1
spade width) in each of the 4 corners.
