SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY
From the main box you require: Pack of side glazing bars marked “side”.
Pack of gutters and side angles.
Built in base side cills.
From the pack of fittings you need: Nuts and bolts and glazing beading.
PROCEDURE. For the point of this plan we have used a 12’ x 7’ side as an illustration. The proce-
dure is identical for a 6’ x 7’ and 20’ x 7’ apart from, you need more or less side bars, nuts and
bolts, glazing beading and longer or shorter gutters and cill.
(Key point).
If you have purchased a partition with your greenhouse you will have 2 less roof and 2 less side
bars. These are replaced with an extra set of corner bars. You must decide where the partition is to
be situated and at that point
leave out one side bar on each of the side frames. (Key point). The par-
tition is constructed when the greenhouse is fully erected prior to glazing. Full details of this proce-
dure are given later, but for the time being do nothing apart from the omission of the side bar. If you
have not purchased a partition disregard this and future notes relating thereto.
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 gut-
ter and built in base cill facing downwards, and the bolt channels of the glazing bar(s) upwards.
(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. (If you have bought a shelf to go in your green-
house 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).
For the 8’ model, slide 1 extra bolt into the middle glazing bar of each side.
For 10’ models, slide an extra bolt into the 2
nd
and 3
rd
glazing bar.
For 12’ models – 2
nd
, 3
rd
And 4
th
bars and so on as the length of the building increases,
these will enable the fitting of a cantilever brace during general assembly later in the plan.
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 middle of
the house (i.e. the elongated slit will be by the eaves in one case and by the cill in the other).
(Key
point).
7. Do not attach the angle tie bar to the end of the eave/gutter at this stage.
