Thank you for purchasing your new Alton summerhouse.  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 the 

technical help section should you need to reprint it.  Should you require any additional   advice 
you can always call us on 01782 385409. 

 

Safety Warning

 



Glass and timber can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, 
gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when assembling 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 summerhouse in high winds. 



For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this summerhouse is assembled 
by a minimum of two people.  



Please clear all lying snow from the summerhouse roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or 
collapse. 



Please do not stand on the roof as it may cause the roof to buckle or collapse. 

 

 

Site Preparation

 



When selecting a site for your summerhouse, 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 summerhouse.  A 
slabbed base would be our preferred choice as this helps with drainage.    



Avoid placing your summerhouse 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. 



Make sure you allow sufficient space around the building to erect from all sides and maintain 
the building. 

 

Additional Considerations

 



If you have arranged for someone to install your summerhouse 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 at the rear of this manual.

 



Remember this is a natural timber product, the wood may soak up some water and some 
staining may occur.  Your summerhouse is factory dipped in a clear spirit based preservative.  
We recommend that you re-apply some clear treatment annually particularly on the most 
exposed areas.  If you want to avoid this and give your summerhouse a more permanent 
finish you could apply an oil based product (refer to manufacturers recommendations for 
recoating).  



If you live in an exposed site it is a good idea to add a bead of all-weather sealant (not 
supplied) between the overlapping roof felt to stop driving rain pushing water up and under 
the next sheet of felt.
