Base
We cannot emphasis how important it is to have a proper base for your Greenhouse to be erected upon.
It is essential that the
BASE IS FLAT, LEVEL AND SUBSTANTIAL
enough to take the weight of the
greenhouse including its polycarbonate panels or heavy glass.
Give yourself enough room around your base to allow for fitting the polycarbonate panel or glass and any
ongoing maintenance / cleaning. A slab base which is larger than the greenhouse is the ideal solution and
is our preferred foundation. If you use supplier's original base, also recommended.
A brick perimeter base is equally suitable providing there is a concrete foundation beneath it. We suggest
using a solid brick with no frogs or holes (quality stock bricks or semi
-
engineering bricks).
IMPORTANT
: Do not anchor your greenhouse down until it is fully assembled including glazing unless
you are 100% sure your base is square and level. If not your polycarbonate panels or glass will not fit
properly.
