Helpful Hints - Elite 4'3" wide compact Instructions & Illustations

HELPFUL HINTS

Please do take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling.
Consider purchasing the Elite Installation tool kit – see accessory brochure for contents of kit.
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 glass caused by the freezing and
thawing process of the earth.
When building your own brick/concrete foundations ensure that they are level and square otherwise
your frame will not be correct and the glass will not fit.
Be sure all four corners of the constructed greenhouse are square before installing glass, and do not
install the glass till the greenhouse is on a permanent foundation.
Do not place your greenhouse in vulnerable locations such as under trees, playing areas, etc.
Children should not play near glass greenhouses.
REMEMBER: glass is fragile, handle with care!
Protective eye glasses should be worn.
Gloves should be worn.
If your greenhouse is a painted one there are a few 1/8" (3mm) holes in the end of the bars. These
are jig holes for painting and have no bearing on construction. (Key Point).
WHEN CONSTRUCTING A POWDER COATED MODEL PLEASE TAKE CARE NOT
TO DAMAGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON CONCRETE OR PATIOS. Take great care
in opening the polythene packages. Do not run a knife down the side of the packs as this may
scratch the paintwork.
N.B. This plan covers the entire Compact range. The only difference between a 4ft long and a
10ft long for example are a few extra pieces of alloy, glass, nuts and bolts etc. The construc-
tion of the sub-frame assemblies are the same but for the purposes of this booklet we have
used the 4 x 4 model as the benchmark. Therefore only one plan is needed.
