BASE PREPARATION You have quite a choice in terms of the style of base that you can prepare. The most important objective is that it is level. The different styles of bases that we recommend are as follows: Note: Your greenhouse size is only nominal, for example a 6 X 8 greenhouse is not exactly 6’...

BASE PREPARATION BRICK BASE The following table gives the external dimensions for a brick base. Look for your building size in the left hand column and read across for the width and length. The dimensions allow the lips of the cills to overhang. This helps prevent water running back into the greenhouse.

GLAZING You are about to begin glazing your greenhouse. It is vital that you take as many safety precautions as possible, especially when handling glass. When glazing the roof we recommend that one individual stands on some ladders inside the greenhouse (It is important that this person is not directly underneath the glass, it is best to stand to one side and help guide the glass in with one hand), while someone else passes the panes up from the outside.
FINAL FIXING VENT INSTALLATION MM¹ 610 X 610 610 X 545 610 X 545 Vent hinge If you are using a casement stay attach the vent pegs to the slam bar using M4 countersunk screws and M4 nuts (you may find it easier to use needle nose pliers to hold the nut as you tighten the bolt).
Page 35
FINAL FIXING DOOR INSTALLATION Take one of the doors and locate the first set of door wheels on the rails in the door track (Diagram OO). When doing this you also need to locate the door guide on the bottom of the door in the door runner (Diagram PP). When both of these are located slide the door further along the track until you can locate the second set of door wheels.

FINAL FIXING HANGING BASKET BAR The hanging basket bars are fixed below the vents on the undersides of the roof. Use the two remaining bolts in the bolt channels of the roof bars to attach the hanging basket bar. Start at one end loosely attaching nuts and work along to the other end. (If you are using an autovent you may need to adjust the position of the bars to allow the autovent to work freely).

FINAL FIXING DOWNPIPE INSTALLATION Part Name Part Length Required Screws, self tapping - 19mm M3.5 Gutter outlet Gutter stop end Downpipe 1500 45 degree double collar Downpipe bracket Firstly you need to decide whether you want the water in your gutters to drain to the front or the rear of the greenhouse.

FINAL FIXING ANCHORING BUILDING TO SLAB / CONCRETE BASE For this final stage you will need eight No.10 X 2” screws, eight brown wall plugs, a 7mm masonry drill bit and a hammer drill. Fixing the greenhouse to the ground is very simple to do. When you built the front, rear and side assemblies you will have attached base brackets (Part number: 300) in specific places around the building.
