Assembly Instructions
Safety Warning
SITE SELECTION
Always try to select a sunny location, sheltered
from the wind as much as possible.
IMPORTANT
Before assembling your new greenhouse,
please check that all parts in the provided list
are included. Please take each bundle out of
the packaging in order to identify the parts
better.
It is important that the opened bundles do not
get mixed with one another.
If something is missing please contact your
retailer.
NECESSARY TOOLS
Screw drivers (Normal and Crosshead PH2),
10 mm spanner or wrench.
MAINTENANCE
The greenhouse should be thoroughly washed
with a gentle detergent occasionally. Please
check that the detergent used does not react
aggressively with aluminium or the glass fi xing
clips.
Ensure that the upper and lower door tracks
are cleaned regularly to avoid a build up of
debris.
0. BASE
Important! The base must be exactly square
and level. A zinc-coated steel base is available
as an accessory for all greenhouse models.
(Attention! Only when the greenhouse has
to be located in a very windy and unprotected
location: Drill through both the profi le at the
base of the greenhouse and the steel base,
and connect them with nuts and bolts.)
If you would rather construct your own stone
or concrete foundation, please follow the
dimensions specifi ed in diagram 0. Treated
wooden beams at least 18 mm high and not
more then 32 mm wide should be positioned
between the stone/concrete foundation and
the aluminium frame, and connected to the
foundation with 50 mm long bolts (not pro-
vided).
All diagrams are shown from the inside
of the house, with the exception of those
enclosed in a double frame, indicating the
outside view.
1. FRONT
Lay all of the parts on the fl oor and connect
them loosely.
Loosely connect the corner plates (1092) on
the upper corners.
2. ASSEMBLY
Connect the gable end bars (4037 / 4038)
between the eaves door track (4027 / 4028)
(2.1) and the vertical wall bars (4044 / 4045)
(2.3). Now connect the sill bars (4022) (2.4 &
2.5) and then the ridge bar (4050 / 4051) (2.3).
Loosely connect the corner plates (1092)
above the eaves (2.1).
Connect the roof glazing bar(s) (4055) bet-
ween the eaves (2.2) and the ridge bar.
It is necessary to include one extra bolt in the
glazing bar(s) (4055) at this point, to later
connect the roof vent.
3. ASSEMBLY ON WALL
Now position your greenhouse on the pre-
pared base/foundation and connect loosely.
Adjust the greenhouse until it is completely
square and tighten all bolts.
Please do not over tighten.
Ensure that the sides are perfectly vertical.
Note the pre-drilled holes in the vertical wall
bars (4044 / 4045) and the ridge bar (4050 /
4051) and mark them on the wall.
Remove the frame from the base.
Drill 6 mm holes in the wall as marked and
place the provided wall plugs (2003) in the
wall. (The drill is not included).
Replace the frame on the base and connect it
to the wall using screws (2002) (3.1) & (3.2).
Finally connect the frame to the base if desired.
4. DOOR
Attention: Do not stand the assembled
door on the door gliders (1014) to avoid dama-
ging them.”
Push the door gliders (1014) onto both ends of
door bar (1060) (4.1).
Assemble the door as shown in diagram 4.
Connect door rollers (1015) to the door bar
(1062) using bolt (1004), washer (1009) and
nut (1007) (4.4). Bolt door bar (1062) to upper
bar (1059) (4.3) and slide door seals (1021)
into the outside side bars (4058) (4.6). Cut the
door seals (1021) to length. Connect the door
fi xer (1111) as shown.
The door rollers can now slide into door runner
bar (4027 / 4028) (4.7). Please ensure that the
door gliders are also running on the bottom
track (4.5). Once the door is correctly in place,
connect nuts and bolts into both ends of door
runner bar (4027 / 4028), as door stoppers.
Adjust the door so that it moves freely.
5. ROOF VENT
Connect the side bars (1065) and the top bar
(1064) depending on the glass thickness. Up
to 4 mm, see (5.1). For 4 mm and over, see
