RIDGE
(See Page 19 - Step 5).
For a small greenhouse, you can handle the ridge by yourself.
Over 12' long it be easier with 2 people. Set the ridge on top
of the end rafters in the middle of the greenhouse. Push the
end rafter out and drop the ridge down 2" and slide it in-
between as far as it goes. The bolt track in the glass bar lines
up with the punch mark in the ridge. Undo the bolt and slide
it up and fasten it
(See Pic
).

(See Page 23)
6.
GLASS BAR WITH VENT SLIDERS
(See Page 4 - #7)
Each glass bar has a small vent frame slider on it. They
are marked 1/2/3/4 etc. On the ridge there will be the
same markings. Slide a bolt in the top and 2 in the
bottom of the glass bar.. Put into place with the angle cut
on top. Note that the numbers are the same so it can be
lined up with the slots in the Ridge and gutter. Then
fasten
(See Pic
).
7.
VENT FRAME BOTTOM SECTION
(See Page 29)
(See Pic
)
The vent frame bottom can now be placed
between the glass bars that you have just installed
.
The 2"
side of the angle faces towards the Ridge
(See Pic
).
Move
the bolt up the glass bar and fasten it. Be sure the metal
slider butts tight against the ridge lip.
8.
REMAINING GLASS BARS
(See Page 30)
All remaining glass bars can now be installed. Make sure
that the top is tight against the ridge. Before you tighten
the glass bar on the gutter, eyeball the gutter to see if it is
straight. There is usually about a 1/8" space between the
glass bar and the gutter.
9.
Ensure greenhouse is square before fastening. Fasten the
greenhouse base/sill to the foundation using #8 x 1”
screws
(if it is on concrete, drill holes using a concrete bit and
push the plastic plugs into the holes)
. If possible, seal below
he base before fastening the greenhouse to the
foundation.
(See Page 30)
Note:
Make sure the greenhouse is fastened to the
foundation with 1" screws.
10.
Your greenhouse is now ready for putting on the 1/8"
foam strips
(Easier to foam before installing bars)
. Do not
put the foam strips on the base or beside the door. Only
use the foam on the glass bars & gutter.
(See Page 28).
