The greenhouse should be thoroughly washed
with a gentle detergent occasionally. Please
check that the detergent used does not react
aggressively with aluminium or plastic.
Ensure that the door tracks are cleaned
regularly to avoid a build-up of debris
0. BaSe
Important! The base must be level. A zinc-
coated steel base is available as an accessory
for all greenhouse models.
( Attention! Only when the greenhouse has to
be located in a very windy and unprotected
location:
Drill through both the profile at the
base of the greenhouse and the steel base,
and connect them with nuts and bolts.)
If you would rather construct your own stone
or concrete foundation, please follow the
dimensions specified in diagram 0.
Treated wooden beams at least 18 mm
high and not more than 32 mm wide should
be positioned between the stone/concrete
foundation and the aluminium frame(A-A). On
the side where the door will be located use
a treated wooden beam not more than 55
mm wide (B-B). Connect the wooden beams
to the foundation with 50 mm long bolts (not
provided).
Foundations must extend down below the frost
level.
Diagrams in a single frame show the view
from inside the greenhouse. those
enclosed in a double frame show the view
from outside the greenhouse.

4a. Roof
tip: Prior to assembling roof press glazing
seals (1020) onto bars (6111) and (6112) (7.2)
and cut to length.
Assemble roof bars (6111) and (6112) onto
cone (6135) (4.1) (4.2).
Tighten all bolts.
Assemble the outer cone (6036) over the
assembled profiles using nut (1002), bolt
(6052), spacer (6054) and washers (6061)
(4.3).
4B. Roof
Two people should now lift the assembly onto
the roof.
Loosely connect the corner bars to the eaves
at all 6 corners (4.4) and then the middle bars
to the centre of the eaves (4.5).
Tighten all bolts.
5. DooR
Lay vertical door bars (6023) on the ground
and prepare 6 bolts in the bolt channels in
each.
Press the glazing seals (1020) onto (6023)
(5.1) and cut to length.
Position bottom pane (1) and loosely connect
bottom bar (6117) to side bars (6023) using
the prepared end bolts (1001), nuts (1002) and
washers (6060) (5.2).
take care to line up the bottom edges of
bars (6023) with the groove in the face
of bottom bar (6117) as shown. this will
ensure that the correct overhang of the
bottom bar is obtained.
Position middle pane (2) and loosely connect
middle bar (6115) onto (6023) (5.3a).
Position top pane (1) and loosely connect
middle bar (6115) onto (6023) (5.3b).
Finally connect top bar (6114) to (6023) using
the last four prepared bolts (5.4).
Ensure that the door is totally square before
