FITTING THE DOORS TO THE STRUCTURE
The doors slide onto the frame form opposite sides of the door tracks. For the left hand door put the
door bottom rail into the bottom door guide which is also the door end cill and slide to the right,
feed the first wheel into the top door track and move further to the right, carefully ease the door past
the glazing bar and feed in the second wheel until the black draught excluder butts up to the end
glazing bars.
Repeat the process for the right hand door. (Ensure handed door posts meet in the middle). The
doors will now run quite freely.
To square up the door with the spacing, undo the upper bolts holding the door track. There is a little
play to facilitate “fine tuning” of the doors.
You can now fit the two small door track supports which are made from flat bar, about 100mm
long. They have two holes in. One is a 7mm hole the other is a 4mm hole. Insert 2 bolts into the top
door track approximately 100mm from the door opening on both sides of the door opening and at-
tach the flat bars using the end with the larger hole, leave finger-tip tight. Let the flat bar hang down
then slide them left/right until the smaller hole at the bottom of the flat bar is in-line with the facing
self tapping screw groove of the roof corner bars. Insert a self-tapping screw through the hole and
into the groove and tighten up with a screwdriver. Tighten the nuts with a spanner.
FITTING THE RAMP
The final aluminium piece of the greenhouse is the door end ramp. The ramp is attached to the door
end cill by engaging the nub of the door end cill to the ‘C’ groove of the ramp. The ramp is now
rotated to horizontal. Drill a hole at each end approximately 20mm in from the end of the ramp and
into the floor. Plug and screw.
If you are fitting onto soft ground, you must ensure that a solid material is underneath the ramp to
avoid damage when you step on the ramp to enter the greenhouse. You can lay a row of bricks sunk
to ground level, a concrete flag, a piece of aluminium base pressed into the ground to ground level
or something similar. You can then screw the ramp into the support material for a secure fixing
.
