May we congratulate you on your new Greenhouse
Dear Customer!
The assembly of your new greenhouse requires no
technical knowledge. However, it is important that
the assembly instructions are strictly followed. The
assembly instruction is a combination of text and
illustrations. The profiles are packed separately in
numbered packs corresponding to the order in the
assembly instruction. Erect one pack at a time. All
nuts bolts and fittings are found in bag No. 0
(specified on page 12). Each pack is specified in
separate lists of components.
All detailed illustrations are marked with symbols:

Precautions.
x
Assembly must be carried out in dry, calm
weather.
x Always use working gloves while glazing.
Greenhouse glass has sharp edges,
especially if it breaks.
x Assistants and especially children must
be warned broken glass is an element of
danger. Pick up broken glass at once and
remove with care.
x We recommend to use protective glasses
while fixing spring wire glazing clips.
x Place the ladder on a level support.
x It is essential to have an assistant.

Foundation
If you are not using the pre-fabricated base for this
greenhouse, you must have an alternative base to
raise the frame off the ground, otherwise the door
will not run correctly. If you are making your own
base, the measurements indicated must be external
measurements. We recommend 19mm x 32mm
pressure treated timber for DIY base, also for wall
battens
.
For the pre-fabricated base, you furthermore need
about 75 litres of concrete and 4 or 6 (depending on
the size of greenhouse) plastic concrete pipes of
about 800mm which are placed in a non-freezing
depth for the fastening of the corner and/or middle
anchors.
The base must be 100% level and square; the latter
is ensured by checking the two diagonal
measurements are equal.
For the pre-fabricated base on a solid foundation
i.e. concrete pad, slabs or sleepers, the ground
anchors will need to be cut to the height of the
base with a hack saw as they are also corner
bracket ( s.
Tools
The mounting of the greenhouse requires the tools
shown on page 12.

Mounting of Polycarbonate
The illustrations on page 32 show where to mount
them. The type indication states the length in mm.
A possible adjustment is made by means of a fine-
tooth saw.
NB! To avoid the formation of algae the
polycarbonate sheets must not come into contact
with the ground. Rest them on a piece of
cardboard.
J, K, L, M – lists are mounted as shown on page 30.
Sealing of the polycarbonate sheets
The sheets may be sealed against insects. Close the
top-end off with alu-tape (NOT SUPPLIED) or
silicone (NOT SUPPLIED) .
The bottom only with airstrip tape
(NOT SUPPLIED)
to let condensation out.
Now your greenhouse is completely assembled.
