12. Do not fit the door at this stage.
13.
The greenhouse is now ready for lifting on to its permanent base.
14.
If you are fitting the greenhouse onto soft ground, you now need to dig 1 hole (approx. 1
spade width) in each of the 4 corners. You will also need some hard standing under the
door end cill. A flag stone or a course of bricks immediately under the threshold or door
way at floor level.
15.
Lift the greenhouse into position. For soft ground fixing, you now need to attach the cor-
ner bracket to the bolt slot of the side and end using the end of the bracket that has 2
holes as opposed to 4. The bracket must be attached in such a way that the end with 4
holes is pointing down into the hole previously made.
SQUARING UP
You must make sure that the structure is level and square. Put one pane of glass in each
corner of roof, each pane must be level with the small glass retaining lip just above the
gutter and be running parallel with the roof glazing bars. Each corner must be the same.
If one corner is out the corner diagonally opposite will also be out. By carefully pushing
and pulling each corner diagonally you will be able to see the frame move in and out of
square with the glass.
HARD STANDING
Having established the square of the greenhouse, drill the patio or concrete in the re-
quired positions, fit plastic plugs and screw the angle brackets (attached during subas-
sembly) firmly to the ground using 35mm x 8mm round head screws and stainless steel
washers.
SOIL FLOOR
Determine the square of the greenhouse as described above, make a mix of concrete and
put a couple of shovelfuls around the base of each corner bracket. When the concrete has
gone off back fill with the soil excavated earlier on.
FITTING THE DOORS TO THE STRUCTURE
The doors slide onto the frame from opposite sides of the door tracks. For the left hand
door put the door bottom rail into the bottom door track and slide to the right, feed the
first wheel into the top door track and move further to the right until the black draught
excluder butts up to the end glazing bars. Carefully ease the door past the glazing bar
and feed in the second wheel. Repeat the process for the right hand door. (Ensure handed
door posts meet in the middle). The doors will now run quite freely. To square up the
door with the spacing, undo the upper bolts holding the door track. There is a little play
to facilitate “fine tuning” of the doors. N.B. Sometimes the doors can be a little stiff pri-
or to glazing but once the glass has been inserted (the last job of the construction) the
extra weight will make for smooth running.
