  • Page 5: Helpful Hints

    HELPFUL HINTS  Please do take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling.  Do not assemble frame in high winds.  The greenhouse frame should be anchored to a permanent foundation. This will not only help secure it against powerful winds but will help prevent breakage of the glass caused by the freezing and thawing process of the earth.
  • Page 6 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 5’3” WIDE MODEL “DELTA RANGE” The contents of this carton are divided into the different frame assemblies that collectively make up the completed greenhouse framework. It is recommended that each framework assembly is fully completed before moving onto the next. The contents are as follows: Two side frames Rear end frame...

  • Page 8 Before assembling any sections slide the required number of bolts into the glazing bars. Lay out the component parts on the ground as though you were standing on the inside of a completed green- house, i.e. with the bolt slots uppermost. GLAZING BAR EAVES BAR GUTTER ANGLED TIEBAR...

  • Page 9: Rear End Assembly

    REAR END ASSEMBLY N.B. The roof corner bars are marked “R” on the outside, which indicate that they meet at the ridge and are also mitred at both ends. If you have a painted greenhouse there is no letter “R” on the cor- ner bar.
  • Page 10 From the main bag of fittings you will require the nuts and bolts, two eave plates and one ridge plate. These are packed with the casement stay and are separate from the main bag of fittings. Components: 1 Alloy built in base cill 2 Glazing bars 2 Diagonal bracing angles 2 Horizontal bracing angles (1 longer than the other)
  • Page 11 You can now attach the horizontal angle braces. The top horizontal is the shorter of the two braces and must attach to the top bolt hole of the eaves gusset plate and to the other bolts in the glazing bars you inserted in 6, page 10. Now attach the longer horizontal brace to the top pre fabricated bolt hole near the top of the side corner bar, and the bolts inserted in the 2 end glazing bars.
  • Page 12 Slide 2 bolts into the bottom of each glazing bar and 3 bolts (only 1 if greenhouse to be sited on soft ground) into the free end of each built in base section. Attach the 2 bolt in the glaz- ing bar to the hole in the door end cill, but do not put a nut on yet.
  • Page 13 DOOR END ASSEMBLY...
  • Page 14 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 15 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 16 The handles are fitted to the infill panel on each door (choose be- tween 1st or 2nd panel down). Position 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 17 ROOF VENT ASSEMBLY The roof vent pack has 5 pieces of aluminium and from the main box of fittings you require: 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.
  • Page 18 ASSEMBLY OF GREENHOUSE UNIT...
  • Page 19 ASSEMBLY OF GREENHOUSE UNIT The first operation is to connect the two side frames to the end frames to form the outer shape of the completed structure. Another pair of willing hands would be useful at this stage. Lift the first side frame into its position by the rear end. Slot the eaves bar into the small space between the roof and side corner bar so that the gutter is outside the end frame and the two flanges that form the angle of the roof and side are inside and tight up against the bolt slots of the roof and side corner bar.
  • Page 20 The roof bars can now be attached to the ridge and gutter. Slide the glazing beading into the grooves on each bar. Attach them to the ridge first by sliding a bolt into the bolt slot of the glazing bar and inserting it through the hole in the flange of the ridge.
  • Page 21 NB. If one of your vents is going next to an end corner bar the tube will only function if the vent is either in bay No1 on the right hand side or last bay on left hand side. (Viewed when walking through the door.) If the vent is fitted in one of the end bays in the roof, you must drill the roof corner bar and fix an angle bracket to prevent the vent from moving out of posi- tion.
  • Page 22 FITTING THE DOORS TO THE STRUCTURE The doors slide onto the frame from opposite sides of the door tracks. For the left hand door put the door bottom rail into the bottom door track and slide to the right, feed the first wheel into the top door track and move further to the right until the black draught excluder butts up to the end glazing bars.

  • Page 23: Finishing Off

    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 glaz- ing bar (viewed from the inside) and fix an angle bracket as shown in the picture.
  • Page 24 GLAZING THE STRUCTURE Always handle glass with extreme care as failure to do so can result in injury. If you intend to fit bar capping, please read the capping installation sheet before you start glazing the greenhouse. The capping installation sheet can be found in- side the box containing bar capping along with the capping screws and wire clips.
