HELPFUL HINTS

Please do take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling.

Consider purchasing the Elite construction pack to help you with the installation – contact
your dealer for details.

Do not assemble frame in high winds.

The greenhouse frame should be anchored to a permanent foundation. This will not only help
secure it against powerful winds but will help prevent breakage of the glass caused by the
freezing and thawing process of the earth.

When building your own brick/concrete foundations ensure that they are level and square
otherwise your frame will not be correct and the glass will not fit.

Be sure all four corners of the constructed greenhouse are square before installing glass, and
do not install the glass till the greenhouse is on a permanent foundation.

Do not place your greenhouse in vulnerable locations such as under trees, playing areas, etc.

Children should not play near glass greenhouses.

REMEMBER: glass is fragile, handle with care!

Protective eye glasses should be worn.

Gloves should be worn.

If your greenhouse is a painted one there are a few 1/8” holes in the end of the bars. These
are jig holes for painting and have no bearing on construction. (Key Point).

WHEN CONSTRUCTING A PAINTED MODEL PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO
DAMAGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON CONCRETE OR PATIOS. Take great
care in opening the polythene packages. Do not run a knife down the side of the packs
as this may scratch the paintwork.

N.B. This plan covers the entire Streamline range. The only difference between a 4ft
long and a 10ft long for example are a few extra pieces of alloy, glass, nuts and bolts etc.
The construction of the sub-frame assemblies is the same but for the purposes of this
booklet we have used the 6 x 5 model as the benchmark. Therefore only one plan is
needed.
