BASE FRAME ASSEMBLY (ADDITIONAL PURCHASE)
The optional base frame provides a level, square surface
on which to set the greenhouse frame.
It is strongly
recommended that you use this base.
The optional base is assembled and squared and set into
the ground. It is then anchored in place using ground posts
or other approved anchoring methods described in these
instructions.
This base is an additional purchase. Contact your sales
consultant for additional information and to purchase.
NOTE:
The frame in the following instructions may differ
from the actual frame in size and/or color. The assembly
procedures are the same.
CONSULT THE BASE DIAGRAM NEAR THE BACK OF
THIS PACKET BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
The following steps describe how to assemble the optional
base frame for the greenhouse.
1. Unpack the base kit to identify the parts.
NOTE:
The base is assembled upside down and then
is flipped when it is positioned on the site.
2. Identify the base channel lengths used for the ends
(width) and the sides (length).
3. Select the first frame support post and the required
nuts and bolts and place these at one corner of the
base.
ATTENTION:
If you plan to place the base on a
concrete slab or patio, you must remove the "leg"
portion of the frame support posts. Before you
assemble the base as shown below, cut the frame
support posts so they are the same length as the base
channel is wide.

Channels
Cut these only if you plan to place the frame, and
ultimately the greenhouse, on a concrete slab.
4. Insert two bolts through the pre-drilled holes in the post
and one base channel and add the nuts.
NOTE:
Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
5. Select the remaining bolts and repeat the previous step
to attach the remaining base channel to the support
post.
