For Lähe greenhouses, a strong concrete slab or tape foundation must be used. The foundation must be horizontally level and all angles 90 degrees.

- Page 9 7. INSTALLATION OF BACK WALL Holes drilled in advance. Screws partially placed in holes. Tighten to the end. NB! Make sure distances between posts are equal.
- Page 10 8. INSTALLATION OF RIDGE BEAM Set front and back wall to the foundation ends (use two longer wooden bars as a support and fasten them with a clamping screw) and raise ridge beam on top of them. Attach ridge beam to the front and back wall (metal brackets are already attached). NB! Ridge beam position determines the side of the roof windows.
- Page 11 9. INSTALLATION OF RAFTERS Place the upper end of the rafter to the metal carrier and fasten with an M6 bolt and nut. Start installation of rafters from front wall and move toward back wall. NB! Make sure that the edge of the carrier does not cover rafter glass groove (distance ca 2 mm) and rafter should be as against the rear wall of the carrier as possible.
- Page 12 10. INSTALLATION OF RAFTER MIDDLE DETAILS Place rafter middle detail between two rafters so that screw is visible from the hole and can be fastened with a round minifix fastener.
- Page 13 NB! The round minifix fastener hole should face downwards (inward toward the ground). Rotate the minifix fastener so that it tightens the rafter middle detail firmly to the rafter on both sides. Make sure the minifix fasteners are properly tightened! At the same time avoid over tightening as aluminium minfix fastener may break.
- Page 14 11. INSTALLATION OF LOWER BASE DETAILS Place one lower base detail between each rafter on both sides. Holes drilled in advance.
- Page 15 12. INSTALLATION OF UPPER BASE DETAILS Place upper base details on top of lower base details. Holes drilled in advance. NB! You may skip fastening some of them. Do this only after attaching the greenhouse to the foundation and before attaching the glasses (look section 16).
- Page 16 13. INSTALLATION OF ROOF WINDOWS The location for roof windows are recognized by the higher rain covers on ridge beam. Place the roof window on the rafters and fasten it to the ridge beam. Hinges are pre-attached to the roof window frame.
- Page 17 14. INSTALLATION OF ROOF WINDOW MIDDLE DETAILS Attach grooved middle detail (DET-04) under each roof window. Fasten with two screws at each end (mark and drill holes in advance with a 4 mm drill). NB! To make it easier to install the middle detail, we recommend attaching it to the rafters with a clamping screw.
- Page 18 15. INSTALLATION OF DOORS Door posts (EL-05) must be vertically level and door opening must be exactly 1400mm from the top and bottom! (otherwise the doors will not work properly). Make sure that the hinges on the door and the wooden post fit correctly. Lift the doors to the hinges, the door with the lock (EL-10) goes to the right side.
- Page 19 When installing glasses, we recommend the following order: 1) roof glasses 2) side glasses 3) front and back wall glasses Glasses are fixed with a screw and the pvc washer must be between the glass and the screw head. Be extra careful when attaching the glasses!!! Tightening the screw too hard will break the glass.

Do not push the glass with force (glass must move lightly). Make sure that the glass is evenly grooved and drill a hole to the middle detail (DET-01)/roof window lower frame with a depth of 30 mm.
- Page 21 17.2. INSTALLATION OF SIDE GLASSES Make sure the side posts are completely level! If necessary, adjust the greenhouse frame. Place the upper end of the glass under the edge of the roof glass and the lower edge of the side glass must be aligned with the space between the bottom details top and bottom layer.
