18. INSTALLATION OF GLASS
Make sure in advance that all the rafters and endwall posts are vertically level.
NB! All rafters and posts must be level before installation of glass!!!
If necessary, add a temporary support for the front or back wall of the greenhouse frame. So that
rafters and posts are stably level.
When installing glass, we recommend the following order:
1) roof glass
2) side glass
3) back and front wall glass
Glass is fixed with a screws. Pvc washer must be between the glass and the screw head.
NB! It is recommended to have at least two persons for glass
installation and always use suction cups to lift glass safely.
Be extra careful when attaching the glass!!!
Tightening the screw too hard will break the glass. It is recommended to set the drill to the
lowest speed and strenght to 15 for example. Turn the last part by hand so that pvc washer
retains its shape and original thickness.
The last part must be tightened ALWAYS by hand!!!
NB! Broken glass is not subject to warranty replacement !!!
