GLAZING THE STRUCTURE
Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury.
If you intend to fit bar capping, please read the capping installation sheet before
you start glazing the greenhouse. The capping installation sheet can be found in-
side the box containing bar capping along with the capping screws.
(Key Point)
HORTICULTURAL GLASS and MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED
GLASS
1. Starting with the bottom pane of one side, offer the pane to the glazing bars. Hold it in place
by inserting two of the stainless steel clips six inches from the bottom of the glass. Fit the
curved lip under the glazing bar and then rotate it so that the other lip (the end that has a dis-
tinct 90 degree bend) clips over the edge of the glass.
(Key Point).
2.
Secure the glass by inserting another two clips in the same
way half an inch from the top edge of the glass.
N.B. The
side panels will require a larger overlap of approx.
¾” (20mm).
3. Hook one overlap clip on the middle of the pane of glass.
(Key Point).
4. Offer the next pane of glass to the glazing bars, resting it on the two clips of the bottom pane.
Insert two clips to hold it six inches from the bottom of the pane. Bend the middle overlap clip
upwards to support the glass. Secure the pane by inserting another two clips four inches from
the top of the pane.
5. Repeat this all along this side of the house,, then repeat it for the roof of this side, but note that
you have to use two of the stainless steel wire clips on the sides of the panes nearest to the
roof vent so that the vent will close correctly. (See illustration for the correct way to fit these).
(Key Point).
6.
Repeat the glazing procedure on the other side of the house.
7. Following this, glaze the rear end in a similar fashion.
8. Proceed to the door end and glaze that, but use wire clips on the left
hand edges of the panes to the left and right hand side of the door
opening, so that the door slides open correctly.
(Key Point).
9. Finally, glaze the door.
