NOW YOU FIT THE VENT TO THE RIDGE
Slide the vent into position in the ‘C’ groove as shown. Insert a small black PVC tube into the
same channel of the ridge on both sides of each vent. Insert a small self tapping screw into the tube
approximately half way along 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).
Having slid the
vents from the
end of the ridge
to the desired
position, you can
now fit the ‘slam
bars’ to the 2
block
glazing
bars. Utilise the
bolts you inserted during general assembly and position the ‘slam bars’ just under the vent allow-
ing the casement stay to effectively close. The slam bar can be adjusted later to facilitate good
opening and closing of the vent.
FITTING THE ROOF CANOPY
This must be done AFTER the roof vent(s) is/are fitted.
The canopy is fitted on top of the ridge bar, and is slightly
longer than the ridge. If your greenhouse is over 8’ long, then
the canopy will be made up using several pieces.
First sit the canopy on top of the ridge and position the cano-
pies so that the overhang at each end of the ridge is the same
and that the end of the canopy is level with the outer edge of
the roof corner bars.
Drill through the ridge (7mm diameter hole) and canopy at each end . Insert a bolt, and secure on
the other side with a nut.
Now insert the canopy seal to each side of the canopy into the seal channel, and feed along so that
it is level with the ridge at each end.
FITTING THE CANOPY
PLATE
The canopy plate has 3 holes. Slide a LONG bolt
(provided) into the external bolt slot of the glazing bar
above the door and the central glazing bar at the rear. Fit
the canopy plate to this bolt, and put a nut on. Do not
tighten yet. Now the top 2 holes in the plate are fitted to
the self tapping screw grooves in the ends of the roof can-
opy using 1/2” colour coded screws provided.
Tighten all screws and nuts.
