PLAN AHEAD
Site Selection
l Avoid overhanging trees as much as possible as leaves will make regular cleaning
necessary and broken branches are a potential hazard.
l Small trees,bushes or fences nearby can be helpful,acting as a wind break.
Site Preparation
The site must be prepared so that the base of the shed is level all round and checking
with a spirit level is required.
The base can be constructed by treated timber or concrete,in order to stop the moisture
getting into the shed.
The shed is not designed to be built onto lawn directly
.
Also the
ground will get muddy during rainy days.
If a concrete pad is made,it is important that this slopes towards the edges to prevent
water ingress.
Time must be allowed for any concrete or cement to dry before building the shed on top.
Bases can also be constructed from bricks,blocks,or mounted on a concrete pad.
The bricks or blocks should be cemented onto firm and level concrete footings and the
greenhouse frame drilled and screwed to the base.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
l
Find someone to help you:it is much easier with someone to hold parts,pass tools
ect.Also some steps require two people to lift structures together.This is not very
heavy work so would suit most able-bodied people.
l
Allow plenty of time:rushing often causes errors and the re-doing of incorrect
assemblies.If you have never built a shed before,it can take most of a day to carefully
complete the construction.
l
Have the right tools to hand.
l
Safety clothing as recommended in the 'Tools' section.
l
Ideally lat out the parts and check that all are present before commencing
construction.Lay on cloths or plastic sheets if there is any risk of scratching the parts.
l
Tighten all nuts carefully,being sure not to miss any.Check the frame is square and
using a spirit level to check that it is upright.
Care must be taken when handling various pieces of
your building since many contain sharp edges. Please
wear work gloves, eye protection and long sleeves
when assembling or performing any maintenance on
your building.
