SCENARIO #2: Base Frame On Concrete (Slab or
Patio)
Concrete anchor bolts are used to secure the base to the
concrete slab before the assembled greenhouse frame is
set on the base.
1. After the base is assembled and the frame support
posts are cut to the proper length (see the Base Frame
Assembly instructions) position the base on the site
with the bottom edge of the base facing up.
2. Using a drill bit the same diameter as the concrete
anchor bolts, drill holes through the edge of the base
channel.
NOTE: Use 24" spacing when drilling the holes. You
must use concrete wedge anchors for this application.
Photo shows holes for the anchor bolts as
drilled in the bottom of the base frame.
3. After all holes are drilled, flip the base frame and
reposition it on the site.
4. Square the frame as previously described in the Base
Assembly procedure.
5. Using the holes drilled in the base channel (Step 2) as
guides, take a marker and mark the hole location on
the concrete.
6. Remove the frame, drill the holes in the concrete
using the proper bit, and install the anchor bolts in the
concrete.
7. Reposition the base frame over the anchor bolts in
the concrete and anchor the base to the site using the
anchor bolts.
8. Anchor the assembled greenhouse frame to the
base as shown in Step 6 of the previous anchoring
instructions and continue with the greenhouse
assembly procedures as instructed.

SCENARIO #3: No Base Frame: Greenhouse Is On
Concrete Slab (or Patio)
If the greenhouse frame is assembled and no base frame
is used, the greenhouse is anchored to the concrete using
anchor bolts as previously described.
1. Position the assembled greenhouse on the site and
square the greenhouse using the technique described
in the Base Assembly instructions presented earlier in
this packet.
2. After squaring the assembled greenhouse frame,
drill a hole through the base rail of the sidewall of the
greenhouse frame and install a concrete anchor bolt.
Drill holes in the center
of the base rail.
NOTE: Holes for the anchor bolts are drilled through
the base rail and into the concrete between each of the
vertical supports. Photo above shows the greenhouse
frame as seen from the outside of the greenhouse.
3. Move to the opposite side of the frame and repeat the
previous step to anchor the frame to the site.
4. Continue by repeating the above steps until the
greenhouse frame is anchored.
5. After anchoring the greenhouse frame, continue with
the greenhouse assembly instructions.
