Thank you for purchasing your new Hercules greenhouse. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the instructions
and read all safety information before you commence assembly. This instruction manual is also available online at
www.greenhousepeople.co.uk in our technical help section should you need to reprint it. Should you require any addi-
tional advice you can always call us on 01782 388811.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE BE AWARE THAT THE YOUR GLAZING BARS (e.g. 916) / CORNER GLAZING BARS (e.g. 915) ALL NEED TO
HAVE RUBBER INSERTED INTO THEM BEFORE FRAME CONSTRUCTION CAN COMMENCE.
Safety Warning

Glass and aluminium can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable
footwear when assembling and glazing the building.

Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and dispose of any breakages
immediately.

Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds.

For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a minimum of two people.

Please clear all lying snow from the greenhouse roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or collapse.
Site Preparation

When selecting a site for your greenhouse, it is vital that you choose as flat and level an area as possible.

A concrete or slabbed base will provide the most solid foundation for your greenhouse.

It is the end users responsibility to supply a flat and vertical donor wall and any flashing/sealant between the two structures.

Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations.

To minimise the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedgerow or garden fence.
Additional Considerations

Please bear in mind that assembling your greenhouse can be time consuming. You may need to spread the construction over two
or more days. We recommend that you avoid leaving the building partially glazed. If you ever have to leave your greenhouse half
assembled and not anchored down, weigh it down with slabs or bags of sand to stop the wind moving it.

You will find it helpful to prepare a large, clean and clear area in which to work in. A garage floor or flat lawn area is ideal.

If you have arranged for someone to install your greenhouse for you, please check that all components are included. Most parts
are numbered and can be identified by a stamp or removable label. Alternatively, the components can be identified by lengths
detailed in the packing list (see diagram below).

Once installed your greenhouse requires little maintenance, but to maintain the smooth running of your door(s) WD40 or similar
can be applied to the door wheels and lower door guides.
Guarantee

Your new Hercules greenhouse is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture of the framework. This does not include
glass, moving parts, accidental damage or wind damage.
