  • Page 5 Thank you for purchasing a Janssens’ Royal Orangerie Greenhouse, imported and distributed in North America by Exaco in Austin, TX. Exaco will provide all the North American based customer support for your greenhouse. Please feel free to reach to Exaco customer service with any questions...
  • Page 6 • When installing on a wall, this wall must be stable, level, and square. • All materials for anchoring the greenhouse to a wall, on a wall, or to the foundation (such as plugs, wedge bolts, chemical anchors, etc.) are NOT provided in the kit because their use varies by region, construction site, and contractor.
  • Page 7 Basic Assembly Order of Greenhouse 1. Preparing your site – must be level and accommodate anchoring of the structure (see section above and “Foundation and Anchoring” in section further on in this manual) 2. Unpacking, sorting, and checking components. Sorting of the profiles/extrusions according to size and shape will be helpful.
  • Page 8 (impact driver is preferred) to a low setting and hand tighten the screw at the end to avoid snapping the screw head. Please thoroughly read the email that was sent to you from Exaco customer service for additional addendums to the manual and other important information.
  • Page 9 Royal Orangerie doors may be placed in any bay, but the double sliding doors make the most sense for this model in one of the gable ends. Exceptions apply for corner placement, please call Exaco to discuss if you are considering an alternate placement. Upgrades to additional single or double sliding doors and/or hinged doors are available.
  • Page 10 ● Hinged Doors: These are a very handsome upgrade, but are significantly more challenging. We recommend installation by a highly skilled handyman. The hinged doors can be time- consuming, require adjustments, and special tools (such as a grinder) may be needed. It is similar to a commercial door.
  • Page 11 o Please reference the table of contents for the pages which address how a drop door kits and knee walls under “Foundation Measurement and Planning”: “Planning/Building a Stem Wall” and “Hinged Door/s on a Stem Wall with Drop Door Kit” Windows Each greenhouse will have a combination of roof vents and a louver side wall window.
  • Page 12 ○ Seed tray/Seedbed - in Orangeries, the seed tray installs along one of the gable walls at your preferred height. The seed tray is 20” wide and has a 4” planting depth with a white polycarbonate bottom to allow for drainage. It is best to order at the same time as the greenhouse as it has to ship via freight truck due to the length.
  • Page 13 We may be able to obtain other state stamped documents, however if you need them specific to your state, we do not cover this expense. Please contact Exaco if structural documents are needed.
  • Page 14 OPTION 2: Cutting the anchors and use concrete screws/self-tapping screws VIDEO: https://youtu.be/3W62iOgLVG4?t=59 (may be found at minute 0:59 in the Exaco animated assembly video. Steps: • You will have (4) 15 3/4” long L brackets. VI 36 & 46 will have (6) long L Brackets-Cut off 4" of the L brackets to connect the foundation frame pieces together.
  • Page 15 ● Wood - Looks very nice, but requires more maintenance. Keep in mind that the wood may deteriorate before the greenhouse lifespan is over. ● Full concrete slab - This can double as your anchoring surface as well. Keep in mind that greenhouses can be wet environments so texture and drainage need to be considered.
  • Page 16 (late spring/early fall). It has been done, but you will need to make customized adjustments such as extra sealing, climate control, window tinting and heating. Indoor/outdoor furnishings are strongly recommended. Exaco will not be held responsible for any damages.
  • Page 17 ○ Replacement Glass - if you need to replace a piece of broken glass, please refer to the glass spec sheet in this manual. Replacement panes of 3/16” standard tempered safety glass should be ordered from a local glass shop. Exaco will not ship large pieces of glass, locally ordered replacement panes of standard tempered safety glass will match the original panes.
  • Page 18 Standard Royal Orangerie Please call Exaco for measurements if you have a custom greenhouse. Notes: Do not set anchors in concrete until the entire greenhouse frame is complete, level  and square. You will need some play to attach the uprights.
