Assembly Instructions – Livingten
Greenhouse
The secure assembly of your Livingten greenhouse is simple if you follow our assembly
instructions and our recommendations exactly. Please read through carefully before starting
assembly!
1. Foundation frame incl. attached soil profile
First, attach the soil profiles to the foundation frame profiles, which can easily be slid on or
pivoted/twisted in from the side. The exact length-wise position does not need to be considered
at this point.
Start with the short profiles (gables) – the front/back of the greenhouse – these already have
plastic corner connectors on both sides. The plastic corner connectors serve for controlled
drainage of the soil profiles. For example, in the case of moisture accumulation the ISO safety
glass panes do not "stand in water" and they connect the corners of the greenhouse to the
foundation.
On one short profile, attach the two long profiles with two M6 x 12 screws on each side.
Before you can complete the whole foundation, you have to insert the plastic corner connectors.
Only then, you can attach the other short profile with the U-shaped foundation.
Now, align the plastic corner connectors of the short soil profile perfectly over the sleeve (dia.
30mm) of the foundation frame connector. Then insert the long soil profiles to fully connect the
whole foundation frame. Now you can screw it together.

The foundation frame with the greenhouse soil profile is now complete and can be placed and
positioned on the concrete slab or possibly perimeter foundation. First, align one long side
exactly the way you want it. Insert a plastic pipe (30/20 x 100 mm) into the pipe sleeve of one
corner connector (of this long side). This pipe will function as a drilling aid for the 20 mm
diameter hole. Now, drill a 100mm deep hole into the concrete through the plastic pipe (drilling
aid). After removing the drilling dust and the drilling aid, insert a new plastic pipe (30/20 x 400
mm) into the sleeve of the corner connector.
Then insert or drive a stainless steel dowel (diameter 20 mm) into the plastic pipe. It should
reach the end of the hole so that it anchors the frame absolutely securely to the concrete and
provides the greenhouse perfect alignment.
Now, in order to get a greenhouse with perfect right angles, the diagonals have to be
measured exactly. Position the greenhouse so that it's perfectly perpendicular (diagonals

Otherwise, please "underpin" the foundation frame with suitable material so that everything is perfectly level. The first and most important construction phase is now finished!! –...
- Page 3 Please check before inserting the panes if possibly protruding pane edge seals are sticking out and if so remove them – a precise glass dimension is necessary. This applies to all panes! Please proceed in the following order: Two panes at a corner profile (each side of the corner).
- Page 4 The glazing blocks have a thickness of 1 mm and are included in the accessories. Ideally, only glue one block into the corner profile – each top and bottom – or into a bar on both sides each 1 block, so that a sufficiently uniform and even glass installation is achieved. The above procedure is rare, but we cannot eliminate the smallest deviations in the glass production.
- Page 5 Note: all bolt heads and connectors can be inserted through the insertion points in the channels. Slots approx. 11.5 x 50 mm long or holes diameter 11.5 mm - As a rule of thumb, these possibilities are provided approx. 150mm from the respective profile end. {picture} The door gable is mounted in a similar way with the long upright center profile missing here (because of the door).
- Page 6 For a greenhouse length – L 6 and L 7 – 2 pairs of tension braces are installed in each second field --from the greenhouse gable point of view - Attention – the tension braces are installed slightly "tense" and must be installed before the roof glazing is installed, as there is still the possibility to push the greenhouse ridge slightly upwards so that the last screw can easily be inserted or connected/screwed together with the tension braces.
- Page 7 Note: The gutter profile is only inserted or clipped in from the side after the glazing has been completed. Otherwise, the insertion of the glazing would not be possible. If the structural situation does not allow the glazing to be inserted this way, the panes can of course also be mounted sideways, which is much more cumbersome.
