Step 10: Mounting of Roof Glazing Panels
:
At this time select one of the largest sheets of the Glazing
Panels and remove the protective film, and insert it into the
channel of a Curved Corner Profile (start either on the right or
left side of the greenhouse). The first time this is quite tricky -
you have to learn how to bend the big sheet correctly. Using 3
people is highly recommended. Use one person standing on
the outside, and one person at the top end (on a stepladder),
and a third in the middle on the inside. Start at the bottom by
inserting the Glazing Panel into the grove/channel in the
Curved Corner Profile, the person standing on the outside
then puts his/her shoe against the other side of the Glazing
Panel to push and hold the glazing in to the grove. Next, using
one hand they guide the rest of the Panel into the grove, while
using their other hand to pull/push the other side of the Glazing
Panel in to the grove, at the same time the person on the
inside provides counter pressure. The person near the top
helps to insert the top half of the Panel. Once completed, one
person holds the Panel in place while the other two slide the
next Curved Center Profile on to the other side of the Glazing
Panel. You can hold this Curved Profile temporaritly inplace
with a bungee-cord.
Now do the same thing on the other side of the greenhouse.
Once completed you have installed one section of Glazing
Panel on each side
Step 11: Placing the Roof Window(s):
(In order to continue, placing the Roof Glazing Panels, you
must decide on which side you want your Roof Window(s).
This might depend on the prevailing wind. It is best not to put
Roof Windows facing a prevailing wind, but put them on the
otherside of the greenhouse. However, without a prevailing
heavy wind from one direction put 1 Roof Window on each
side, in different sections, if installing more than 1 Window
(i.e. RIGA IV).)
Next: place the shorter roof Glazing Panel, in the second
section (from the front), of your RIGA greenhouse, either on the
left or right and side. Slide the next Curved Center Profile on
to the other side of the panel and: (go to step 12).
Step 12: Placing Roof Window Crossbar:
Once you have placed a shorter roof Glazing Panel, add the
Roof Window Crossbar #1.8, on top of the Panel. But, first you
must slide 4 Hexagon Bolts (M6 x16) in to the center channel
of the crossbar. (two of the bolt will be used to attach the
Automatic Window Opener). Bring from the bottom of the two
Curved Center Profiles one of the 3 Hexagon Bolts you placed
in the channel earlier and using a Mounting Plate (round disk
with 4 holes) attach the Crossbar on each side to the Curved
Center Profiles. Making sure the Crossbar is fully pushed
down over the Glazing Panel.
This crossbeam is to screw
together with screws 4,8x45
laterally through the frame of
doors or gable edge profile
respectively. After the glazing.
