  • Page 6 HELPFUL HINTS & ADVICE  Please take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling. The Polycarbhouse structure does often require at minimum an “experienced DIY” type person or a semi-skilled builder to assemble.  Locate the Polycarbhouse in a sheltered or semi-sheltered position. PolyCarb is a fragile product and strong winds, or flying debris could potentially damage the PolyCarb sheeting.
  • Page 7 SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE For the point of this plan we have used a standard 2.57m wide x 3.80m Length as an illustration.

  • Page 12 SINGLE DOOR ASSEMBLY CONT. PROCEDURE: The format for the single door end is identical to the rear end assembly up to and including step 12 so please refer to those items in the previous pages. 1. For step 13. Slide 4 extra bolts into each vertical glazing bar. 2.
  • Page 13 DOUBLE DOOR END If you have purchased a double door for your greenhouse the procedure for construction of the gable is identical to the single door model. There are, however, a small number of differences outlined as follows: There are only 2 packs of aluminium - double door corner bars - Double door end The door end contains the cill and main door track support (which are separate on the single door model).
  • Page 14 ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY The roof vent pack has 5 pieces of aluminium: and from the main box of fittings you require 6’ of glazing beading, 4 nuts and bolts, 2 casement stay pins, 1 casement stay and 6 M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts. PROCEDURE: 1.

Push up to the top of the door and trim off surplus at the bottom. With 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 DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY CONT If you have a double door option you will need to assemble 2 doors of 457mm width. The doors are assembled in the same way as the single door with the exception of the doorposts that meet in the middle – these are handed. Looking at the door posts in profile with the 2 holes at the top (3 holes at the bottom) the open box part of the section goes to the outside i.e.

  • Page 20 Before tightening the nuts that hold the roof bar to the eave you must ensure that the roof bar is tight up against the small flange immediately above the gutter. (Key point) Failure to observe this point and the previous one of keeping the roof bar tight up to the ridge could result in a slight outward bow of the gutters and a slight downward dip of the ridge.
  • Page 21 SECURING GREENHOUSE TO BASE BRICK BASE, TIMBER OR CONCRETE Having built your base level and square and to the outside measurements given on page 4, sit the greenhouse onto the base.
