HELPFUL HINTS 

 

 

Please do take your time and be sure to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS carefully before assembling. 

 

Do not assemble frame in high winds. 

 

The greenhouse frame should be anchored to a permanent foundation.  This will not only help secure it against 
powerful winds, but will help prevent breakage of the Polycarb by the freezing and thawing process of the earth. 

 

Locate the Polycarbhouse in a sheltered or semi-sheltered position. Polycarb is a fragile product and strong winds, or 
flying debris could potentially damage the Polycarb sheeting. Secure the roof vents in a closed position, close doors & 
windows if very windy.  A shelter belt should be considered to protect the Polycarbhouse and plants within in windy 
locations. 

 

When building your own brick/concrete foundations ensure that they are level and square otherwise your frame will 
not be correct and the Polycarb will not fit. 

 

Be sure all four corners of the constructed greenhouse are square before installing Polycarb, and do not install the 
Polycarb till the greenhouse is on a permanent foundation. 

 

When inserting the neoprene beading, wetting the rubber or frame with mild soapy water will ease its installation. 

 

Do not place your greenhouse in vulnerable locations such as under trees, playing areas etc. 

 

Children should not play near Polycarb greenhouses. Do not occupy the Polycarbhouse in times of high wind or poor 
weather (hail etc) 

 

REMEMBER: Polycarb is fragile, handle with care!. Beware that flying Polycarb from strong wind can/will travel some 
distance and can be a dangerous hazard for property and persons surrounding the Polycarbhouse 

 

Gloves should be worn. Protective eyePolycarbes should be worn. 

 

If your greenhouse is a painted one, there are a few 1/8” holes in the ends of some bars.  These are jig holes for powder 
coating and have no bearing on construction. (Key point). 

 

WHEN CONSTRUCTING A PAINTED MODEL PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT TO DAMAGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON 
CONCRETE OR PATIOS. 

 

Remember to fit the silver aluminium tape to the top edges of the polycarbonate sheeting before fitting them to the 
greenhouse 

 

Fit the 20mm square strongbacks (include a 75mm piece of the 20mm x 3mm white double sided tape at each end) 
after installing the polycarbonate sheeting.
