Maintenance - Juliana Gartner Assembly Instruction Manual

May we congratulate you on your new greenhouse
GB
DEAR CUSTOMER
Congratulations on purchasing your new
greenhouse. It is important that you follow these
assembly instructions step-by-step.
The assembly instructions are a combination of text
and illustrations. The profiles are packed in separate,
numbered packs corresponding to their order of use
in the instructions. Assemble one pack at a time.
All nuts, bolts and fittings are contained in bag No.
0 (specified on page 12). Each pack is specified in
separate lists of components.
All detailed illustrations are marked with the
following symbols:

SOME SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
• Assembly must only be carried out in dry and
calm weather.
• Always wear work gloves when installing the
glazing. Greenhouse glass has sharp edges,
especially if it breaks.
• Assistants and especially children must be
warned that broken glass is dangerous. Pick
up all broken glass at once and remove it with
care.
• We recommend that you wear protective
glasses while fixing the spring wire clips.
• Any ladders that are used must be placed on a
level surface.
• It is essential to have an assistant available.
PAGE 12: TOOLS
Assembling the greenhouse requires the tools
shown on page 12.
PAGE 13: FOUNDATIONS
No base is included with this product. However, an
original base is available separately. This base is easy
to construct and will guarantee you a stable base for
your greenhouse.
If you construct your own base, the specified
measurements must be external measurements.
If you purchase an original base, you will also require
about 75 litres of concrete and six to eight plastic/
concrete pipes of about 800mm. These pipes, which
must be buried at a sufficient depth to ensure that
they do not freeze, secure the corner and middle
anchors.
The base must be completely level and square;
the latter can be ensured by checking that the two
diagonal measurements are equal.
ATTACHMENT TO THE BASE
If you construct your own base, you must drill holes
(7mm) in the ground frame between all the vertical
profiles. The greenhouse must then be secured to
the base using screws (A).
If you use an original base, the greenhouse must be
secured to each vertical bar as shown on drawings
B/C.
PAGE 14-27: ORDER OF ASSEMBLY
Place the components as shown on the illustration
and assemble in the order shown in the pictures. Do
not tighten the nuts fully until the entire sub-frame
has been assembled.
PAGE 24-27: DOORS AND WINDOWS
For easier assembly, we recommend that you oil the
screws for the doors. The glass or polycarbonate for
the door(s) and windows must be fitted at the same
time as the profiles.
PAGES 30-37: FITTING OF GLASS/
POLYCARBONATE
Important before assembly!
Make sure that the gables and sides are level
and square and that door(s) and window(s) are
functioning perfectly.
The best order of assembly for the glass or
polycarbonate is as follows:
Windows - Roof - Doors - Gables - Sides
PAGE 30-33: GLASS INSTALLATION
Glass installation (illustrations 1 to 8)
Degrease the sheets and frames with spirit.
Start glazing from the bottom, one pane at a time.
Apply a 3mm silicone bead around the vertical
frames as indicated (the dotted lines on the
illustration). (A 3mm bead of silicone is sufficient to
ensure maximum adhesion). If you use more silicone
than recommended, extra tubes can be purchased.
Spring wire clips and glass-holders must be fitted as
shown.
X = Spring wire clips, > = Glass-holders
If you accidentally break a pane, carefully pull the
broken glass outwards and loosen the silicone using
a sharp craft knife.
Clean the profile completely before inserting a new
pane of glass.
PAGE 34-37: POLYCARBONATE INSTALLATION
The illustrations at the bottom of pages 34/36 show
where to fit the polycarbonate sheets and strips. The
type designation states the length in millimetres. If
adjustment is necessary, use a fine-tooth saw.
NB! To avoid the growth of algae, prevent the
polycarbonate sheets from coming into contact with
the ground by resting them on a sheet of cardboard.
A-strips are fitted as shown on pages 35/37. Insert
the sheet into the bottom strip, bend the sheet
slightly outwards and insert it into the top strip.
M-strips are fitted as shown on pages 35/37. Place
the upper part of the strip under the aluminium
profile along the full length of the sheet and then
click the strip into position from above.
U-strips are fitted as shown on pages 35/37.
Fit the strip to the sheet and adjust the length.
If desired, the sheets may be sealed against insects.
Seal the top using aluminium tape or silicone. The
bottom should only be sealed with air-strip tape to
allow condensation to escape (available from your
local dealer).
Your greenhouse is now fully assembled. However,
please note the following:

MAINTENANCE

• Grease the doors (hinges and locks).
• Keep the gutters free from leaves, etc.
• Adjust the windows as necessary.
• Replace any broken glass.
• Clean the greenhouse with disinfectant before
and after the growing season.
WINTER PROTECTION
If you anticipate snow during the winter, we
recommend the following winter precautions:
• Support the apex of the roof in the middle.
• Remove any deep snow from the roof.
• Take precautions to prevent snow falling from
B
a tree or roof, for example.
• Remove the cylinders for the automatic
window openers, if fitted (optional extras).
• Secure the door(s) and window(s) to prevent
wind damage to the greenhouse.
WATER AND CONDENSATION
Please note that your greenhouse is not like a
conservatory, for example, and that you should
therefore be aware that the greenhouse may leak
during or after precipitation and that condensation
will occur on the inside of the greenhouse. Good
ventilation will help prevent condensation.
INSURANCE
Please note that not all insurance companies cover
greenhouses automatically. Please contact your
insurance company to ensure that your greenhouse
is covered.
GUARANTEE
Juliana greenhouses are covered by a 12-year
guarantee, which covers the replacement or repair
of faulty parts. The guarantee does not cover
polycarbonate, glass, transport, assembly, freight,
etc.
Juliana greenhouses are covered by a two-year
warranty on painted parts, where fitted. Note that
marks on the paint may occur due to suspension of
the profiles.
The guarantee will be void if the greenhouse is not
assembled in accordance with these instructions.
COMPLAINTS
All our greenhouses are built to the highest quality
standards. However, should you experience any
problems, please contact your dealer at once. When
describing the defect, please state the greenhouse
model, the component number and the quality
control number.
Any suspension marks or shiny ends on painted
Juliana profiles will not be visible after the
greenhouse has been assembled.
Congratulations on your new greenhouse, which we
hope will bring you a lot of pleasure for many years
to come.
Yours sincerely,
Juliana Drivhuse A/S
