There are a few things every foundation should provide:
1.
Your foundation must be securely anchored to the ground (Wind gusts can move or turn over a greenhouse because of its low
weight to surface area ratio). Before you start any foundation, you should know the greenhouse's outside base dimensions. The
dimensions are listed in the Grandio Manual for each size base kit. Be sure to prepare and level your surface prior to installation.
2.
There must be a way for water to drain out of the greenhouse (If water doesn't drain, it will collect on the floor and become
stagnant promoting algae, disease, and insect growth). You may want to treat your ground for weeds and grass weeks prior to
installing the base kit, and may consider applying weed barrier also. Plan for drainage using gravel or rocks that may be applied to
the interior floor of your greenhouse to keep puddles from forming.
3.
Measures should be taken to prevent weeds and grass from growing on the greenhouse floor (Greenhouses provide optimum
conditions for weeds to grow along with your other plants. Weeds can harbor harmful insects and diseases and should be kept
out of the greenhouse).
4.
Assemble your Grandio Base Kit according to the instructions in your greenhouse manual. The dimensions are also listed in the
manual for each size base kit so you may plan accordingly.
5.
You will need to install your BA-A1 / L-Bolts and BA-S10 bolts into the appropriate holes for your greenhouse base installa-
tion. Follow the steps for installing your anchor BA-A1 / L-Bolts and BA-S10 on the next page.
