TITLE ASSEMBLY SYNOPSIS: IMPORTANT INFORMATION / CONSIDERATIONS
PARTS LIST Most components should have a ‘D’ code punched into their metal surface. Identify and separate all like for like components prior
to assembly. The ‘parts list’ also separates parts into the various sections 1 - 13 shown below. Parts can also be identified by their
profile pictures and stated lengths etc..
B
BASE Base dimensions and recommendations. Ensure that your base is level as this will make assembly of the building, especially the
glazing of the roof much more straight forward. Please be aware that the hinge door on your greenhouse opens inwards, make
sure that there will be no interference between the door and the foundations.
P
PREPARATION Tools required. IMPORTANT: Use WD40 or similar in the glazing bar channels and insert the black glazing rubber prior to frame
assembly.
1
REAR Take the glazing bars ‘D609’ with the rubber inserted and the diagonal braces ‘D604’, use 10mm bolts to join them to the gutter
and 15mm bolts to the cills (note how the head of the bolt slides into each glazing bar during construction). Please also remember
to slide in your 22mm bolts for attaching the decorative eave spandrels ‘DV100’ in section 6.
PORCH GABLE Again ensuring that the gable framework is rubbered-up follow the diagrams to assemble each gable in the building. Make sure
that you have inserted the extra bolts utilised in sections 4 and 5. On the roof and side corner bars not every rubber channel will
require rubber unless it is to be utilised in a partition (see separate manual and section P).
END GABLES
4
PORCH SIDES The porch sides (the L-shaped area to the left and right of the porch gable between cills and gutters level) can either be built in situ
piece by piece or built away from the structure as an L-shape and then attached in a similar manner to plain gable/s to rear.
Please ensure that where relevant you slide 2 x 22mm bolts into the side bars for the attachment of the DV100 eaves spandrels.

MAIN FRAME
ASSEMBLY
Take the rear (1) and the end gables (3) and join them together on your base. It is a good idea to tie some ladders to the sides to
support them if you do not have anyone to hold them for you. Once the porch sides (4) have been attached to the main building
then the porch gable (2) can be inserted between them in the same way you would attach a end gable to the rear. You will now
have a T-shaped framework. It is important that you check that the internal diagonal measurements within the building are equal to
ensure that the building is square, spending a little time on this now will speed up roof assembly and glazing. On buildings longer
than 12’ the end gable (1) should attach to the extension sides (see separate manual) first before the rear maintaining 620mm
spacings, e.g. a 16’ building = end (3), 4’ handed extension sides, 8’ rear (1), 4’ handed extension sides, end (3).
6a
REAR ROOF Attach the main ridge between the end gables and then the rubbered-up roof bars ‘DV253’ ensuring that they are fully butted up to
the ridge and down onto the gutter. Attach your cresting before you glaze the building to give yourself more room to work. Utilise
the 22mm bolts slid into the rear (section 1) and roof bars to attach your DV100 and DV101 spandrels. On longer models you may
need to carefully prop up the roof and tie the sides together to keep the ridge and gutters straight (i.e. not sagging or bowed) until
the building is fully glazed.
6b
PORCH ROOF The porch ridge can be fitted to the porch gable supporting its free end with ladders or a wooden sprag. The porch hips ‘DV381’
can now be attached between the welded porch gutter sections and the free end of the porch ridge. A same height porch utilises
a DV366 bracket to allow the porch ridge to connect to the main module. Identify all of the handed roof bars and look for their
locations. Insert the rubber into their channels and when attaching ensure again that were relevant you slide in 22mm bolts for
eave (x2) and roof spandrels (x2). Eave and Roof sprandrels can now be attached using the previously inserted 22mm bolts. The
ladders / sprag supporting the porch ridge free end can now be removed.
Prior to glazing the cresting and finials should be siliconed into place. Attaching them once the glass has been installed by leaning
through vent apertures is more time consuming.
7a
VENT Once the vent is glazed add silicone to the vent sides and top. Stand the vent/s on their hinge (vent top) and then leave the sili-
cone to set.
7b
VENT SLAM The slam bar ‘D079’ can be moved up and down between the roof glazing bars so that it can be butted down onto the pane of
glass beneath, the autovent will be attached to it later on (10).
8
LOUVRE They attach to the building during the glazing process (9) like a piece of glass with a black separator above them. If you are fitting
an optional auto-louvre then you need to carefully drill (3mm bit) out the rivets which mount the handle to the frame. You can then
either utilise those holes or create more to mount the unit. On the 8’ long building they will both have to go back centre side by
side.
9
GLAZING Layout the bar cappings and covers around the building like a sundial checking that all is present and correct. You can also place
the roof cappings in the gutters so they are closer to hand. Use the capping and the self tapping screws to then hold the glass in
place. The covers then enclose the screw heads giving a neat finish. It is a good idea to glaze two roof sections first to ensure the
building is square followed by two side sections to ensure the building isn't leaning.
The porch cowlings ‘DV340’ should be attached before the vents are inserted so that access through vent apertures is available.
Silicone the cowling area internally, position cowls and VERY carefully (avoiding glass below) mark, and screw x 2 ‘EV0329’ into
place. IMPORTANT: Silicone the cowling externally and check with watering can than the cowl is water tight, note silicone can be
moulded shortly after application if you wet your fingers.
IMPORTANT: On the roof sections please make sure that you place a screw around 25mm / 1” from the bottom of each capping
strip (create a hole in the plastic if required) and that the screws are nice and tight to avoid any glass slippage.
10
VENT
ATTACHMENT
Take the assembled vent and slide the vent hinge ‘D866’ into the end of the ridge allowing the vent to pivot open and closed. Vent
stops go either side of the vent to stop any lateral movement (so insert stop / vent / stop). Attach the Bayliss XL autovents.
11
DOOR
ATTACHMENT
Your door comes pre-constructed and locked minus the handles and their pivot pin but now it needs to be mounted to the front
end of your building. Utilise the ‘DV522’ plates and twist in crop headed bolts to join the door and its frame to the building (pinch
the door frame against your long front verticals whilst tightening your ‘DV522’ plates to ensure that there is no gap). If you are
struggling to eradicate the gap between the door frame and verticals then some silicone can be carefully applied to the area to
create a vertical seal. Be careful not to lock yourself in the building and to avoid damage do not open the door until it is attached to
the front gable. Getting the door to swing perfectly without dropping or rubbing on the ground may require some small but vital
adjustments. You may also need to insert a packer underneath the door frame hinge to increase ground clearance. Part ‘DV275’
canopies the door frame top hiding the clearance space at the top of the door. The door can only be made to swing inwards.
IMPORTANT: Please do NOT let the door slam open or closed as it is likely to cause damage to the door and the frame. Please
twist the handle to open and close. Please also be aware that your door KEYS (3 provided) are unique to the building so they
should not be stored together.
12
ANCHORING
DOWN
Now that the greenhouse is finished and the door and vent/s are operating without interference then you need to anchor the build-
ing down using 2” rawl plugs and screws. Use a 7mm masonry bit in a hammer drill to create the holes.
13
FINISHING
TOUCHES
Now that the main body of the structure is complete you can add; downpipe fittings, eave bungs, gutter stop ends. It is also impor-
tant to carefully apply some silicone to the internal eaves corners and external and internal ridge corners to minimise the chance of
water entering the structure.

REAR
SHELVING
Robinsons integral cantilever staging and shelving attaches to the inside of the greenhouse frame using either square head bolts
(insert four into each glazing bar ’D609’ during construction of the rear (1)) or rectangular ‘crop head’ bolts which can be fitted
retrospectively (both sets of bolts accompany the shelving/staging). This system allows the height of either the staging or the shelf
to be set at an operator specific height. Commonly the staging brackets are set 900mm from the cills though you can alter this to
suit the end user/s. The aluminium shelf / staging slats come in two lengths; (4’):1240mm ‘D2002’ and (6’):1860mm ’D2003’.
These slats can combine to create any length of staging required, i.e. 4’+6’ = 10’ etc...
