Before you start read the instructions completely
Construct the base first so that the greenhouse can be securely mounted when completed.
Find someone to help you. It is much easier with someone to hold parts, pass tools etc. This is not very
heavy work so it would suit most able-bodied people.
Allow plenty of time. Rushing often causes errors and doing things again. If you have never built a
greenhouse before, it can take the best part of a day to complete the construction with care.
Have the right tools to hand:
•Cross head and flat head screwdrivers
•10mm spanner
•Safety clothing as recommended in the ‘Safety’ section.
Lay out the parts by greenhouse section, ideally around the base as shown, and check that all are present
before commencing construction. Lay on cloth or plastic sheets if there is any risk of scratching the parts.
Follow this construction sequence.
•Side sections
•Back section
•Front section
•Frame assembly and roof
•Door
•Vent (if applicable)
•Glazing
All illustrations are based on viewing the parts from the inside of the greenhouse, except where stated.
Assemble the greenhouse loosely where possible and tighten when all in place so that minor adjustments
can be made. Note that some nuts will need to be tightened to keep them in place.
Tighten all nuts carefully, being sure not to miss any. Check the frame is square and using a spirit level to
check that it is upright.
