1. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing in-
side the greenhouse i.e. with the gutter and cill facing downwards and
the inside bolt channel of the glazing bar upwards (beading channels
downwards).
(Key point). Slide the glazing beading into the ‘V’
grooves of the glazing bars, taking care not to stretch the material.
Trim off any surplus level with the ends of the glazing bar. Note: the
beading may contract and slide down the bar. Allow for this before
trimming.
2. Slide 3 bolts into each glazing bar (insert an extra two bolts into the bars that the louvre vent will
attach to (
Key point ). The middle bolt will be used later to attach the cantilever tee bars.
Fix the combined eaves and gutter bars to the glazing bars by pushing the bolt previously inserted
through the holes in the lower flange of the eave and secure with a nut. Ensure that the glazing bar
is pushed up under the gutter and is tight up against the inside shoulder of the eave.
(Key point). Do
the same with the rest of the glazing bars.
3. Fix the cill in a similar way to above but start with the middle glazing bars and work outwards.
4. The 2 outer glazing bars have the angle ties bolted to them. Before attaching the nuts, place the
diagonal bracing angle over the bolts so that they point outwards towards the end of the eaves bar.
They must be arranged so that the flat bit of the angle, in each case faces towards the middle of the
house. N.B. For the 10’ and 12’ models there are 2 diagonal bracing angles per side, for the 14’
there are 3 and for the 16’, 18’ and 20’ models there are 4 per side: the extra angles are centrally
positioned are centrally positioned (diagonally like the 2 end ones) for additional strength.
(Key
point).
5. Ensure that the glazing bars are tight up against the cill and inside shoulder of the eave, tighten
all nuts. The nuts and bolts are made of
high tensile alloy and are approx. 2 ½ times stronger the
ordinary alloy bolts so they can be tightened quite firmly with a spanner without fear of stripping or
snapping the thread. Caution should however be exercised when tightening any bolts.
6. Do exactly the same with the other side frame.
WELL DONE! YOU HAVE SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THE 2 SIDE FRAMES!
