- Page 15 You have now completed the 4 main frames of the structure which can now be joined together. You need not do this procedure on the base but any flat surface near the greenhouse site. If your base is prepared however, you can carry put the assembly there to save lifting it on later. But before this we construct the vents and doors.

- Page 18 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 20 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 roof and side line up with the bolt slots in the corner bars.
- Page 21 3. Now stand up the door end assembly and repeat the above procedure. 4. Stand up the other side frame and repeat the operation outlined in 1 and 2 above at both corners. 5. The bottom cill of the sides attaches to the corner bars in a similar way. Undo the nuts and bolts inserted in the gable end assembly, move the cill under the corner bar so that the elongated hole in the vertical flange of the side cill lines up with the bolt slot in the corner bar.

FINISHING OFF To prevent the door from sliding past its opening, you must fix 2 angle brackets to the door end assembly. Insert a cropped head bolt into the bolt channel at the top of the left hand glazing bar (viewed from the inside) and fix and angle bracket as shown in the picture below. - Page 28 NOW YOU FIT THE VENT TO THE RIDGE Slide the vent into position in the ‘C’ groove as shown. Insert a small black PVC tube into the same channel of the ridge on both sides of each vent. Insert a small self tapping screw into the tube approximately half way along then tighten the screw.
