• 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.

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.

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.

○ 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.

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.

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.

● 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.

(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.

○ 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.

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.

Louver Window Cover During cold weather, the louvered window may get drafty. Your kit includes as lexan cover to seal the louvers during this time. To install the Lexan panel: • Unscrew the piston from your auto opener • Go outside the greenhouse and pull back the heavy duty rubber gaskets that hold in the panes of glass to the left, right, and bottom of the louvered window (see picture to the right)

INSTALLING AN EXHAUST FAN IN A VICTORIAN GREENHOUSE The exhaust fan in a Victorian Greenhouse should be installed up high in one of the gable ends of the greenhouse. If you happen to have polycarbonate walls on your Victorian, you may cut an opening in the polycarbonate to accommodate the fan.
