Page 5: Helpful Hints
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. - Page 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 4’3” WIDE MODEL “MAXIM RANGE” The contents of this carton are divided into the different frame assemblies that collectively make up the completed greenhouse framework. It is recommended that each framework assembly is fully completed before moving onto the next. The contents are as follows: Two side frames Rear end frame...
- Page 7 SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY STARTING with the side frame; The base is integrated with the cill for each side of the greenhouse, and is assembled onto each subassembly rather than separately laid out. Components required; 4’ long = 1 side bar, 1 eave bar, 1 base/cill, 1 angle tie bar 6’...

Page 9: Rear End Assembly
REAR END ASSEMBLY N.B. The roof corner bars are marked “R” on the outside, which indicate that they meet at the ridge and are also mitred at both ends. If you have a painted greenhouse there is no letter “R” on the corner bar. - Page 10 REAR END ASSEMBLY From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts, two eave plates and one ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separated from the main bag of fittings. Components: 1 alloy built in base cill 2 glazing bars 2 diagonal bracing angles...
- Page 11 Slide three bolts into the bolt channel at the top of the two vertical glazing bars and secure the third one to the roof corner bars by inserting the bolt through the punched hole in the flange. You can now attach the short horizontal angle brace to the top bolt of the gusset plate and to the other bolts in the glazing bars you inserted in 6, above.
- Page 12 DOOR END ASSEMBLY From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts, 2 eave plates and 1 ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separate from the main bag of fittings and two door end plates.
- Page 13 Insert 4 bolts into the bolt channel of each vertical glazing bar. The last bolt will now be used to attach the glazing bar to the pre fabricated hole in the roof corner bar. Attach the main door track support (shaped like a letter ‘Z’...

- Page 15 DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY Follow the procedure below for each door. Components consist of: 2 door glazing bars for each door (1 handed, 1 unhanded) (handed posts of each door meet in the middle) 3 infill panels 2 top and bottom door panels From the main bag of fittings you require for each door: 2 door wheels 2 clip on nylon door skids...
- Page 16 Turn the door over and insert the black rubber draught excluders in the groove (bolt slot) in each unhanded door post. Push up to the top of the door and trim off the surplus at the bottom. With a pair of pliers squeeze the groove together at the bottom so that the rubber will not slip down when the door is in its upright position.
- Page 17 ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY The roof vent pack has 5 pieces of aluminium and from the main box of fittings you require: 2m of glazing beading 4 nuts and bolts 2 casement stay pins 1 casement stay 6 M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts PROCEDURE: Identify the slam bar and attach the 2 stay pins to the outer side of the angle using the M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.

- Page 19 The first operation is to connect the two side frames to the end frames to form the outer shape of the completed structure. Another pair of willing hands would be useful at this stage. Lift the first side frame into its position by the rear end. Slot the eaves bar into the small space between the roof and side corner bar so that the gutter is outside the end frame and the two flanges that form the angle of the roof and side are inside and tight up against the bolt slots of the roof and side corner bar.
- Page 20 Before bolting the bottom of the roof bar to the flange of the eave bar, insert extra bolts. In- sert 1 bolt into the bottom of each roof bar to enable the cantilever brace to be fitted. Where the vent is to be positioned put an extra one bolt per bar i.e.
- Page 21 Having slid the vents from the end on the ridge to the desired position, you can now fit the “slam bars” to the 2 glazing bars. Utilise the bolts you inserted during general assembly and position the “slam bars” just under the vent allowing the casement stay to effectively close. The slam bar can be adjusted later to facilitate good opening and closing of the vent.
- Page 22 The doors will now run quite freely. To square up the door with the spacing, undo the upper bolts holding the door track. There is a little play to facilitate “fine tuning” of the doors. N.B. Sometimes the doors can be a little stiff prior to glazing but once the glass has been inserted (the last job of the construction) the extra weight will make for smooth running.
- Page 23 GLAZING THE STRUCTURE Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. HORTICULTURAL GLASS and MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS Starting with the bottom pane of one side, offer the pane to the glazing bars. Hold it in place by inserting two of the stainless steel clips six inches from the bottom of the glass.
- Page 24 4’ WIDE MAXIM HORTICULTURAL GLASS/ & MULTI-SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS PLAN Width (mm) Length (mm) Size 4 X 4 6 X 4 8 X 4 If you install a louvre to the greenhouse, it (along with the 610 x 140mm piece of glass in the louvre box) replaces 1 A pane.
- Page 25 FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS (EN12150) The main differences in application between the two types of glazing are: Toughened glass is in large sheets. There are no overlaps: where there are two or more panes in a section they are butt jointed with a P.V.C overlap strip – (called a muntin) – you do not use muntins or spacers if you have multi-sheet (or small pane) tough- ened glass.
- Page 26 4’ WIDE MAXIM FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS PLAN Code Width (mm) Length (mm) 1630 1375 The quantities above will change slightly if you have ordered extra vents and louvres. If you intend to fit a louvre to the greenhouse you must fit glass above and below the louvre. The louvre cannot fit onto the bottom aluminium cill.
