ENSURE that the base is square by measuring across the corners, only when equal is it square. Check the level using a builder’s spirit level. For dwarf wall/dropped door modifications, you must obtain a base plan from Elite Greenhouses Ltd.

DAMAGE THE FINISH BY WORKING ON CONCRETE OR PATIOS. N.B. This plan covers the entire Titan 1200 range. The only difference between a 12ft long and an 20ft long for example are a few extra pieces of alloy, glass, nuts and bolts etc.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 12’6” WIDE MODEL “TITAN 1200” RANGE The contents of this carton are divided into the different frame assemblies that collectively make up the completed unit. It is recommended that each framework assembly is fully completed before moving onto the next.

SIDE FRAME ASSEMBLY From the pack you require: If you have ordered a built in base, then follow the section at the back of the booklet in conjunction with the instructions for each sub assembly. Pack of side bars marked “side bars” Pack of gutters and cills marked “side”...

1. Lay out the pieces on the ground as though you were standing in- side the greenhouse i.e. with the gutter and cill facing downwards and the inside bolt channel of the glazing bar upwards (beading channels downwards). (Key point). Slide the glazing beading into the ‘V’ grooves of the glazing bars, taking care not to stretch the material.
REAR END ASSEMBLY If you have ordered a built in base, then follow the section at the back of the booklet in conjunction with the instructions for each sub assembly. For the construction of this frame you require from the main box: 1 pack of corner bars marked “corner bars”...

7. Do exactly the same with the other roof corner bar ensuring that the two bars are pressed tight up together behind the ridge gusset plate. 8. At this stage you do not need to use the middle, 5 hole in the gusset plate. 9.
Page 13
13. You can now attach the 5 vertical glazing bars to the bottom cill in a similar manner to above. The longer bar to the middle hole and the shorter ones to the outer holes. Before attaching the nuts of the intermediate bar, place the diagonal angles (1806mm long) onto the bottom bolt and put a nut on finger tip tight only.

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.

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 6 M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts PROCEDURE: Identify the slam bar and attach the 2 stay pins to the outer side of the angle using the M4 stainless steel nuts and bolts.

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) for lock barrel 1 top and bottom door panels 3 panels of glass which must be fitted during door assembly.
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.

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.
Page 22
8. Insert 4 bolts into each glazing bar to attach to the top hat roof section and cantilevers at a later stage. For each vent you need an additional bolt for each glazing bar that the vent covers e.g. 12’ x 10’...

SECURING GREENHOUSE TO BASE BRICK BASE Having built your base level and square and to the outside measurements given at the start of the booklet, site the greenhouse onto the brick base. The 4 cills will lip over the base and will protrude approx.
Page 25
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). N.B. if you have a brick base you will need to trim off with a hacksaw the first 2”...
Page 26
EXTERIOR DOOR TRACK This top door track has no holes in, but 1 continuous bolt slot. You must have the door track cen- trally positioned. Insert 3 bolts into the bolt slot and line them up with the 3 holes in the door track support, put the nuts on and tighten up.
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.
Page 29
10 BLADE LOUVRE The louvre can not be fitted to any of the corner bays of the greenhouse. Procedure 1. Place top cill into position on side jamb of louvre and secure with self tapping screws. 2. Do same on the other top corner. 3.

TOUGHENED GLASS Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. Your greenhouse is supplied with PVC bar capping and you will find the bar capping installation instructions with the bundle of capping. Your greenhouse is glazed using both wire clips and then bar capping on top. Wire Clips Start with the panes of glass on the side (see glazing plan later in this booklet), Insert 4 wire clips as illustrated, put one ’wing’...
