Silicone Caulking Sealant
Henry 212 All Purpose Crystal Clear Sealant (recommended)
Caulking Increases the structural integrity of the greenhouse and prevents water from going into
the panels. Caulking the top of the middle seam will prevent algae and water buildup.
●
The base has to be 100% level and square.
The easiest way to ensure this is to make sure that the two diagonal measurements are identical.
●
Erection of the greenhouse should only take place in calm and dry weather.
●
Pre-assemble and caulk windows and doors before you erect the greenhouse
●
Pre-thread aluminum profiles for window and door pieces to make assembly
easier
●
Keep bolts loose during assembly and avoid securely attaching side
supporting aluminum strips (ref. #012 and/or #056 strips on the parts page) before
the first panel arch has been inserted
●
It is far easier to assemble if you have an elevated surface such as two 4’×8’
pieces of plywood on sawhorses.
