SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY
Start by assembling the side frames first.
· Slide the glazing beading into both V grooves of all glazing bars. Lay out
the pieces on the ground as though you were standing inside the house, i.e.
with the gutter and cill facing downwards, and the bolt channels of the glaz-
ing bar(s) upwards. For the 8x6 model, you will need 7 side glazing bars for
each side.
(Key point).
·
Slide a bolt into each end of each glazing bar. You must decide the position of the louvres.
Once decided, you must slide 2 bolts down each glazing bar onto which the louvre will attach.
In addition, your greenhouse will come as standard with a cantilever brace to be fitted to
every other bar. Slide a bolt into each bar that the cantilever will attach. (If you have bought
an additional shelf or staging to go in your greenhouse and you intend to fit it on a side wall,
use the ½” headed bolts provided with the shelf fittings).
·
Fix the combined eaves bar and gutter to the glazing bars by pushing the bolts through the
holes in the eaves bar, and securing with a nut. You do not need to tighten the nuts too much
at this stage, but they need to be tight enough to stop the bolts slipping out of the glazing bar.
N.B. remember to omit two roof bars if you have a partition, one each side (see later detail
regarding partitions).
·
Fix the side built in base/cill to the middle glazing bar by pushing the bolt through the hole in
the built in base/cill and tightening as before.
·
If your greenhouse is over 12’ long (and built in base model) see description and drawing for
how to join the 2 base pieces together (on previous page).
·
Correctly position the built in base/cill on the outermost glazing bars by pushing the bolts
through the holes in the built in base/cill, but do not put the nuts on yet.
·
Place the angled tie bar over these bolts so that they point outwards towards the ends of eaves
bar. They must be so arranged that the inside angle of the bar in each case faces towards the
middle of the house (i.e. the elongated slit will be by the eaves in one case and by the built in
base/cill in the other).
(Key point). The 8’ 10’ and 12’models have 2 diagonal tie bars on each
side. (14’ has 3/side, 16’, 18’ and 20’ long buildings have 4/side).
·
Put nuts on bottom bolts and lightly tighten.
·
If you plan to fit the greenhouse (Built in base model only) to a hard standing (flags, concrete
etc.) then insert extra bolts into the bolt channel of the built in base (generally 1 every 2’).
These will be used to anchor the greenhouse to the floor later in the assembly.
· In addition, add 1 extra bolt at each end of the built in base. These bolts will be used to attach
the corner brackets.
This applies for fitting onto both hard and soft standing.
·
Do the same with the other side frame assembly.
·
Make sure that the glazing bars reach both the built in base/cill and the eaves in each case.
· Tighten all nuts. (Key point).
