SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY
When you come to the greenhouse itself start by assembling the side frames first.
The base is integrated with the cill for each side of the greenhouse, and is assembled onto each sub-
assembly rather than separately laid out.
1. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing
inside the house, i.e. with the gutter and built in base cill facing down-
wards, and the beading channels of the glazing bar(s) downwards.
(Key point). Slide the glazing beading into the V grooves of the
glazing bars.
2.
Slide a bolt into each end of each glazing bar, and 1 in the mid-
dle. These will enable the fitting of a cantilever brace during general assembly later in the plan (If
you have bought a shelf 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- these can be inserted later)
3. Fix the combined eaves bar/gutter to the glazing bar(s) 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.
4.
Fix the built in base cill to the middle glazing bar by pushing the bolt through the hole in the
cill unit and tightening.
5.
Correctly position the built in base cill on the outer most glazing bars by pushing the bolts
through the holes in the cill, but do not put the nuts on yet.
6.
Place the angled tie bars over these bolts so that they point outwards towards the ends of
eaves bar. They must be so arranged that the flat bit of the angle in each case faces towards the mid-
dle of the house (i.e. the elongated hole will be by the eaves in one case and by the cill in the other).
(Key point).
7. Put nuts on bottom bolts and lightly tighten.
8. Do the same with the other side frame assembly.
9. Make sure that the glazing bars reach both the built in base cill and the eaves in each case.
Tighten all nuts.
10. If you intend to fit any Elite accessories (louvres, shelf, staging) they will be packed with ½
head bolts to enable them to be retro fitted. You do not need to pre insert any bolts for these acces-
sories.
11. If you are fitting your greenhouse onto hard standing (flags, concrete etc), then insert 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 during general assembly.
