6. Place the Ridge gusset plate (larger of the 2 types) over the bolt, slide the plate left or right until the slotted hole in the plate
lines up with the locating hole in the flange nearest to the end of the corner bar. Put nuts on both bolts i.e. flange and plate,
fingertip tighten only. (Key point)
7. Do exactly the same with the other roof corner bar ensuring that the two bars are pressed tight up together behind the Ridge
gusset plate.
8. Now moving to the eave gusset assembly, slide one bolt into the other bolt slot (the one that is facing upwards and is at 90

to
4 above). Place the eave gusset plate (smaller of the 2 types) onto the bolt and move it left or right until the next hole in the
plate lines up with the locating hole in the top on the side corner bar. Place a bolt through the hole and put a nut on fingertip
tight only. (Key point). At this stage do not put a nut on the first bolt.
9. Do the same with the other part of the same eave gusset plate, ensuring that both corner bars are tight up against each other
behind the eave plate.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 at the other corner with another eave gusset plate.
11. Attach the bottom cill, marked “rear end” in the box, to the left and right hand side corner bars by inserting a bolt into the
facing bolt slot. Line the bolts up with the 2 slotted holes at the end of the cill, put nuts on and tighten up ensuring that the
corner bars are pushing right down into the angle of the cill. (Key Point).
12. You can now attach the 4 vertical glazing bars to the bottom cill in a similar manner to 11 above, the two longer bars to the
middle holes, and the shorter ones to the outer holes. Before attaching the nuts to the longer bars place the diagonal angles
onto the bottom bolt and put a nut on fingertip tight only. Attach the other end of the angle brace to the bottom bolt of the
eave gusset plate, put on the nut and finger tip tighten. (Key Point). Do the same with the other diagonal brace.
13. Moving to the top of the greenhouse, insert 3 bolts into the shorter two glazing bars and 2 bolts into the longer two glazing
bars.
14. Now you can attach the long angle horizontal brace marked “rear end” in the box to the top bolts of the eave gusset plates.
The angle should be facing upwards, put the nuts on and fingertip tighten.
15. You can now attach the 4 vertical glazing bars to the roof/corner bars. Slide the last bolt in each bar you inserted in 13 above
to the end of each bar and insert them through the holes in the flange of the roof corner bar, place the nuts on and finger tip
tighten.
16. Attach the diagonal angles to the 2 shorter glazing bars. Slide the second bolt previously inserted in 13 above to the middle of
the bare and line it up with the hole in the diagonal brace, put the nuts on finger tip tight. (Key Point)
17. Now attach the horizontal brace to the 4 upright glazing bars utilizing the final bolts you inserted in 13 above. Put the nuts on
finger tip tight. (Key Point).
18. The rear end is now almost complete. Before tightening all nuts check the corners to ensure they are tightly up against each
other and that all the vertical bars are tight up against the angle of the rear end cill and corner bars. Tighten all nuts, the rear
end if now complete
