- Page 5 Base Preparation If you are constructing the greenhouse on a patio, flagged or concrete area you can utilise the angle brackets which are provided and illustrated later in this booklet under heading securing down . If you are building a concrete footing you would still anchor down as indicated above but would build your wall/footing to the following dimensions.
- Page 6 AGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON CONCRETE OR PATIOS. · N.B. This plan covers the entire GX800 range. The only difference between a 6 long and an 8 long for example are a few extra pieces of alloy, glass, nuts and bolts etc.
- Page 7 DETAILED ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS The contents of these packages are divided into the different frame assemblies that collectively make up the completed greenhouse framework. It is recommended that each frame assembly is fully completed before moving on to the next. The frames to be constructed are as follows: Side frames two off Rear end frame...
- Page 8 You need for each side frame: 1 gutter/eaves, 1 alloy cill, 2 diagonal angles and 5 side bars. For other sizes please refer to parts list at front of booklet for quantities. Layout the component parts on the ground as though you were standing on the inside of a completed greenhouse i.e.
- Page 9 3. Before assembling any sections, slide the required number of bolts into the glazing bars. You must decide the position of the louvre. The 2 standard louvres can be fitted on either side of the greenhouse (except where a side diagonal brace intersects the bay) or in the centre bay at the rear end.
- Page 10 REAR END ASSEMBLY For the construction of this frame you require from the main box: 1 pack of corner bars marked rear end corner bars , 1 rear end pack of glazing bars marked rear end and 1 rear end horizontal brace marked rear end . The standard shelf can be fitted afterwards but make sure you slide 2 bolts down the bolt channels of each glazing bar and rear end corner bars.
- Page 11 Slide 2 bolts into the alternative bolt slot of both side corner bars (see diagram for details). 1 bolt at the top and 1 at the bottom. Put a nut on and lightly tighten leaving each bolt approx. 50mm from each end of the bar. Slide 3 bolts into each roof corner bar (1 top, 1 bottom and 1 middle of each roof bar).
- Page 12 Starting at the apex (2 corner bars opposite each other marked R ) slide 1 bolt into the facing bolt slot i.e. the one that is facing upwards is set at 90° to the other 4 above. (Key point). Place the hole in the Ridge gusset plate (larger of the 2 types) over the bolt, slide the plate left or right until the slotted hole in the plate lines up with the locating hole in the flange nearest to the end of the corner bar.
- Page 13 10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 at the other corner with another eave gusset plate on the oppo- site side of the rear end assembly. N.B. Leave nuts loose at this point. 11. Insert 4 bolts into the bolt channel of all 4 rear end glazing and block glazing bar. The bottom 2 bolts in the block bars will be used to fit the shelf at a later point.
- Page 14 4 vertical glazing and block bars only, not the corner bars. You do not re- quire the 4 small angle brackets for the GX800, only needed for the GX600. Attach a cantilever brace to mitred edge of the angle support, and bolt the vacant end of the cantilever to the bolt channel of the glazing bar onto which the angle bracket is fitted.

- Page 16 PROCEDURE: The format for the door end is similar to the rear end assembly up to and including step 12 except that there are 2 vertical block glazing bars for the door end, and non of the standard glazing bars, so please refer to those instructions in the previous pag- es.
- Page 17 ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY The roof vent has 6 pieces of aluminium (made up of 2 side rails, 1 top rail, 1 bottom rail, 1 slam bar, and 1 intermediate glazing bar The glazing bar below and behind vent will be found with the roof bars.
- Page 18 5 BLADE LOUVRE For the louvre assembly you will need. 1 top cill, 1 bottom cill, 2 side jambs (one with handle), 4 small vent screws, 4 ½ headed nuts and bolts and glass blades. PROCEDURE: Place top cill into position on side jamb of louvre and secure with self tapping screws.
- Page 19 DOOR FRAME ASSEMBLY Each Door consists of: 1 unhanded door post 1 handed door post (handed post for left door is different profile to the handed right hand door post) 3 infill panels (1 with pre fabricated lock hole right hand door only) for lock barrel 1 top and bottom door panels 3 panels of glass which must be fitted during door assembly.
- Page 20 Before fitting the unhanded door post, offer the glass panels to the door (see glazing plan in booklet for glass size guide on door), slide them in from the side. Carefully attach the unhand- ed door post in the same way as before, ensuring the glass is sitting in the correct position (sitting on the beading channels of the door posts) before tightening the screws.
- Page 22 FITTING THE DOOR HANDLES The handles are fitted to the infill panel on each door (choose between 1st or 2nd panel down). Posi- tion 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.
- Page 23 ASSEMBLY OF THE GREENHOUSE UNIT PROCEDURE: 1. With the help of a willing assistant, stand up the rear gable and one of the sides. Stand- ing on the inside of the structure with the gutter facing away from you, insert the eave/ gutter bars into the gap between the corner bars, so that the inside flanges which form the angle of roof and side, line up with the bolt slots in the corner bars.
- Page 24 6. The ridge bar is fitted next, but first you must thread the glazing beading into the 2 grooves on the ridge. (Key Point). Lift the ridge bar up to the apex and standing on a pair of sturdy and safely placed step ladders push the ridge into the small gap between the roof corners so that the 2 flanges which form the an- gle of roof are tight up against the inside edge of the...
- Page 25 8. You will need to insert extra bolts into each glazing bar that has a vent opening and a cantilever tee-bar brace, see details below. Cantilevers are fitted on every bar between side and roof glazing bars, and roof to roof glazing bars.
- Page 26 FITTING THE DOOR LOCK The door lock must be fitted after the doors are in position (Key Point). Undo the ring bolt from the door lock, and insert the barrel through the hole in the panel from the outside. Re-attach the ring bolt to the barrel on the inside, and tighten.
- Page 27 SECURING DOWN For securing to a concrete/flagged area you will need to utilise the angle brackets (found in the bag of fittings). You must ensure that the greenhouse is level and square prior to anchoring down, failure to observe this point could lead to problems when glazing the roof.
- Page 28 PARTITION If you have purchased a partition it is at this point that you construct the frame in situ. In the box you will find packs marked: Partition corner bars Partition door end cill Partition door track Partition door panels Partition door posts You will also require a number of fittings from the box: 2 eave gusset plates...
- Page 29 7. The cill can now be attached to the facing bolt slot of the partition corner bar (in the same way you did during the original door end assembly). 8. Now attach the 4 vertical glazing bars. 9. Thread the glazing beading into the channels and trim to suit. Put 3 bolts into each bolt slot, attach to the bottom cill by inserting another bolt into the slot and pushing it through the hole in the bottom cill.
- Page 30 PARTITION DOOR TRACK This fits in exactly the same way as the exterior door. However it has 1 flat bar door track support. N.B. The flat bar door track support is to be fitted pointing downwards for the partition (the opposite way to the illus- tration).
- Page 31 FITTING THE KEEP FOR THE LOCK The cam on the lock must locate onto a door keep which is fitted to the left hand glazing bar (when viewed from outside) of the door gable end. The keep has 2 horizontal slots on one face. Insert 2 cropped head bolts into the bolt channel of the left hand glazing bar and line up with the slots in the keep.
- Page 32 GLAZING THE STRUCTURE BAR CAPPING For the fitting of the bar capping please refer to the separate sheet enclosed with the bar capping before starting to glaze. Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. There is a choice of glazing.
- Page 33 FULL SHEET TOUGHENED GLASS For large panes of toughened glass (over 610mm long) use 6 wire clips per pane, for smaller panes (under 610mm long) use 4 and for very small panes use 2 clips per pane. With full sheet toughened glass the traditional overlap system used with horticultural glass on the gable ends is replaced by a rigid P.V.C.
