GENERAL INFORMATION
Important points to consider:
•฀ Square฀up฀(or฀adjust)฀the฀frame฀to฀fit฀the฀glass.฀If฀the฀foundation฀
is square and level, the greenhouse will automatically be
square when all the glass is in. Don’t try to square up the whole
greenhouse before you do the glass. Just do one side at a time.
•฀ Always฀work฀one฀row฀across฀at฀a฀time.
•฀ Don’t฀over฀tighten฀screws฀
(“finger tight” plus a quarter turn is
sufficient).
•฀ Position฀glass฀in฀between฀the฀inside฀edges฀of฀the฀bars
.
Glass comes packaged in cardboard cases. When storing glass, put it
upright against a wall or post. All glass is a 3mm / 24 oz. thickness
(unless it is a special order). When handling glass, put one hand on the
bottom and one hand on the side. Do not hold the glass flat on your
hands.
WHEN LAYING OUT THE GLASS FOR YOUR GREENHOUSE,
DO NOT LAY THE GLASS ON YOUR LAWN WHILE THE SUN IS
SHINING BECAUSE THE GLASS
WILL BURN THE GRASS.
