You have now completed the 4 main frames of the structure which can now be joined together. You need not do this procedure
on the base but any flat surface near the greenhouse site. If your base is prepared however, you can carry put the assembly
there to save lifting it on later. But before this we construct the vents and doors
You have now completed the main frames of the structure, which can now be joined together. You need not do this procedure on
the base but any flat surface near the glasshouse site. If your base is prepared however, you can carry out the assembly there to
save lifting it on later. But before this we construct the vents and doors.
ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY
The roof vent pack has 5 pieces of aluminium: and from the main box of fittings you require 6’ of glazing beading, 4 nuts and bolts, 2
casement stay pins, 1 casement stay and 6 M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.
PROCEDURE:
1.
Identify the slam bar and attach the 2 stay pins to the outer side of the angle using the M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.
2.
Lay the 4 edge pieces of the vent on a level surface as though you were on the inside of the vent (with the bolt slots of the
sidebars uppermost and the ‘v’ slots of the bottom rail uppermost. The top rail is arranged in such a way that the squared off
end is to the bottom and the hooked hinge uppermost).
3.
Slide the glazing beading into the slots in the side and top rails and trim to suit.
4.
Insert a bolt into each end of the side rail bolt slots, put these bolts through the holes in the top and bottom rails, add nuts
and lightly tighten. Check that all joints are secure and that the vent is square, and then tighten up the nuts.
5.
Fit the casement stay using the M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts, putting the bolts through the holes in the saddle of the stay
and through the 2 elongated holes in the bottom rail. Hold the nuts in place and tighten the bolts with a screwdriver.
Do the same with the other vents.
