1.
Slide the glazing beading into each side bar taking care not to stretch the material. Trim off any surplus level with the ends of
the glazing bar.
2.
Lay the 9 components on the floor as though you were standing inside the glasshouse i.e. with the gutter and cill facing
downwards and the bolt slot of the glazing bar upwards. (Key point)
3.
Slide 3 bolts into each glazing bar, the middle bolt will be used later to attach the cantilever tee bars. Fix the combined eaves
and gutter bars to the glazing bars by pushing the bolt previously inserted through the holes in the lower flange of the eave
and secure with a nut. Ensure that the glazing bar is pushed up under the gutter and is tight up against the inside shoulder of
the eave. (Key Point). Do the same with the rest of the glazing bars.
4.
Fix the cill in a similar way to 3 above but start with the middle glazing bars and work outwards.
5.
The 2 outer glazing bars have the angle ties bolted to them. Before attaching the nuts, place the tie bar over the bolts so that
they point outwards towards the end of the eaves bar. They must be arranged so that the inside of the angle, in each case
faces towards the middle of the house.
N.B. there are 4 per side: the extra braces are centrally positioned (diagonally like the 2 end ones) for additional strength.
6.
Ensure that the glazing bars are tight up against the cill and inside shoulder of the eave, tighten all nuts. The nuts and bolts
are aluminum and only require one turn with the spanner after first finger tip tightening. (Key Point).
7.
Do exactly the same with the other side frame.
