  • Page 21 ASSEMBLY OF THE GREENHOUSE UNIT PROCEDURE: 1. With the help of a willing assistant, stand up the rear gable and one of the sides. Standing on the inside of the structure with the gutter facing away from you, insert the eave/gutter bar into the gap between the corner bars, so that the inside flanges which form the angle of the roof and side line up with the bolt slots in the corner bars.
  • Page 22 2. Now stand up the door end assembly and repeat the above procedure. 3. Stand up the other side frame and re- peat the operation outlined above at both corners. 4. The bottom built in base cill of the sides attaches to the corner bars in a similar way.
  • Page 23 You must remember to insert one extra bolt per cantilever T-bar brace and one per vent per bar. For example the 8’ x 7’ would have 3 extra bolts on the middle bar on one side of the ridge and 2 on the middle bar on the non vent side.

The small flat bar illustrated is fitted pointing downwards for the partition. (Key point). The small glazing bar above the middle of the door can now be fitted. Put the glazing beading into the grooves and trim to suit.
  • Page 28 FITTING THE DOOR HANDLES The handles are fitted to the infill panel on each door (choose between 1st or 2nd panel down). Position the handle centrally, and mark the hole position. Drill 7mm diameter holes (2 holes per door), then fit the handles, and secure with a nut and bolt.
