N.B. sometimes the door can be a little stiff prior to glazing but once the glass has been inserted (the last job of the construction) the
extra weight will make for smooth running. (Key Point)
GLAZING THE STRUCTURE
PLEASE NOTE: DIAGRAMS BELOW SOME MODELS MAY BE SUPPLIED WITH OPTION 1 AND/OR OPTION 2
PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN HANDLING GLASS DURING ASSEMBLY OR USING THIS
GLASSHOUSE – GLASS CAN BREAK FROM IMPACT OR STORM DAMAGE STAY
OUTSIDE OF THE GLASSHOUSE IN HIGH WIND OR STORM CONDITIONS
Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury.
There is a choice of glazing:
1)
3mm horticulture in standard panes.
2)
4mm horticulture in standard panes.
3)
4mm horticulture in larger panes.
Start with the bottom pane of glass on the side, ref. A (610mm x 610mm) Insert 4 stainless steel clips as illustrated, 2 on either
side of the pane. The upper 2 clips approx 13mm from the top edge of the glass. The bottom 2 approx. 200mm from the bottom
edge of the glass.
Put one overlap clip on the upper edge of the glass with the long “tail” outside and the short return inside.
For No's (1 & 3) proceed as follows:
Offer the next pane of glass ref. B (610mm x 457mm) to the panel, sitting the pane of glass on to the 2 upper clips of the panel
below. Exerting a little pressure on the B pane with one hand, bend up the tail of the overlap clip to form a hook or letter “S” (see
diagram).
Put 2 clips on each side of the pane of glass, the upper 13mm from the top of pane B. The bottom 200mm from the bottom of the
pane, i.e. from the overlap.
Repeat this procedure for the upper pane of glass ref. B
