Overview

This manual uses a 12 ft wide x 8 ft long greenhouse as
an example throughout the manual. Look out for tables
and extra diagrams showing the varying sizes. You can use
the image on the front cover as a reference as to what the greenhouse
should look like as you go along.
If you are going to treat the greenhouse yourself then it would be best to do it before
you begin building the frame.
Set out your metal base on your prepared site, but don’t fix this down until the greenhouse
is complete. Follow the manual and build the sections as recommended.
When screwing through one piece of timber into another it is always recommended to predrill the
first piece. This will prevent the timber from splitting which could weaken the structure.
You can build the sides flat on the ground and then with help or using a prop position the first one
ready for installation. You then work your way around the greenhouse connecting each section. The
rear gable is the next section to install, followed by the other side and then the front gable. Once you
have completed the gables and sides you can install the ridge and the roof.
To build you new greenhouse you will need the following tools:
Spirit Level Pencil
PZ2 Screwdriver Bit Cordless Screwdriver ( 2 would be ideal, 1 to drill and 1 to screw)
4mm Drill Bit
7mm Masonry Bit
Hammer Dril
Hammer
Step ladders
There are 7 different types of screws used in the construction of the greenhouse. These are as
follows, with examples of where to look out for them:
