SQUARING THE FRAME
Use a piece of glass to square the unit up as shown. Slacken the nuts if
necessary to move the framework into a square position.
Once the frame is completely square tighten up all the nuts.
Remove glass once squaring is complete.

To make the top glass slide more easily, rub
candle wax onto the glass bearers. Also wax
the black and white liners.
The white liner (W66-2M) fits on the inside vertical
face of top FRONT rail only. This is a loose fit so
strips of double sided tape are included to secure it
until the glass is in place.

WARNING! Toughened glass if broken will fragment safely.
If the edges are knocked or chipped the glass will spontaneously

process. Care should be taken when moving or cleaning, not to
damage the edge of the glass.
When placing the glass in the frame, ensure that the glass is

moving or cleaning, not to damage the edge of the glass.
When placing the glass in the frame, ensure that the glass
is securely placed in the runners before letting go of the
glass.

FITTING HANDLES
Fit the handles to the glass before fitting into the frame. Right hand panels always have a single handle on the right
hand side of the sheet. Left hand panels have two handles, one on each side.
FITTING THE GLASS
To fit the glass push the sheet into the deeper top channel, then lower into the bottom channel (A). Make sure the
glass is firmly in the bottom channel before letting go. When putting the sheets in the frame, put the first sheet in at the
right hand end. The second sheet will fit in front of the first sheet and overlap the first panel by approx. 1” (2cm).
SLIDING THE FRONT AND REAR GLASS
When closed, both panels will tuck behind the corner trims to keep them secure. Before sliding the right hand panel
open, slide the left hand panel open by approx 1” to release it from behind the corner trim.

Take one of the corner trims and push it up into the top
channel and the 'h' section.
Swing the corner trim in so that it is vertical and drop it
into the channel below. At this point the trim will be loose.
Slide the front glass door out of the way. Take one of the
hollow tubes contained in the pack marked 'TRIM'. From
the front of the frame, push the tube between the
framework and the corner trim. Slide the tube downwards
as far as it will go.
Insert a second hollow tube and repeat the action, but
this time push the tube up as far as it will go.
These tubes keep the corner trim firmly in place, and act
as a stop for the sliding doors.
Repeat for the other corner.

TROUBLESHOOTING
TROUBLESHOOTING
P15
CORNER TRIMS WILL NOT FIT The most common cause of this problem is the end glass protruding over the front leg. This is
normally caused because the frame work is not square against the wall. See page 7.
GLASS STICKS TOGETHER This is normally due to the handles not being put on the right side of the glass. See page 12 for
details of where the handles should be fitted to the glass.
If the glass has stuck together, push the two sheets to the back of the channel, then slowly pull
the front sheet of glass forward from one end. This will release the suction between the sheets.
HANDLES COME OFF As the handles are of a clamp design they can be pulled off if too much force is applied to them.
If the glass has stuck together due to moisture, or if the glass does not slide smoothly, this will
strain the clip part of the handle and cause it to come off.
Ensure that the channels and the glass are kept clean at all times to minimise the sliding force
needed. Candle wax applied to the channel and the underside of the glass will also help the
sliding action. Also check that the handles have been fitted correctly. See page 12 for full
instructions.
Handles can be rejuvenated by placing them in hot water, cleaning them carefully, then
squeezing the clip together while the plastic is still warm. Leave to cool before fitting.
If handles come off frequently either purchase some new handles from Access or use a glue
such as 'liquid nails' or 'no more nails' to permanently glue the handles to the glass.
SHELVES WILL NOT FIT INTO THE BACK LEGS Check that the back legs have been fitted the right way round - see page 2.
Check that dimension A = B - see page 7.
LOUVRE VENT DOES NOT FULLY CLOSE ON COLD
DAYS
Loosen the two screws which hold the automatic opener to the vent. Push the opener up as far
as it will go. Retighten the 2 screws.
If the unit still does not fully close, lubricate the opener mechanism and all the pivot points with
WD-40
WATERING INLET LEAKS Try tightening the inlet fitting as it needs to be tight to seal.

P16
NOTES ON USING YOUR FRAME
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
Every Spring take the glass out of the greenhouse and wash glass and framework with warm soapy water.
Lubricate the automatic louvre vent bi-monthly and remove if subject to very heavy frosts.
When inserting the glass, always check that the glass is properly seated in its top and bottom channels before letting go of the sheet.
CHECK THE TIGHTNESS of all bolts regularly, especially in very windy areas or powder coated frames.
CROP ROTATION Suggestions for suitable crops and sowing dates given in the free Access Growing Guide
VENTILATION In cold weather gentle ventilation can be given by sliding the four front sheets of glass to give 2-3" (5-8cm) gap at each
corner.
In warmer weather allow a gap on the top sheets as well. In very hot weather open all the sheets of glass.
To ensure that the correct temperature is maintained use a thermometer inside the greenhouse. You can completely remove the top
sheets in summer. Access shading will help keep temperatures down, and stop birds etc getting inside. The Access Automatic Vent will
look after ventilation - automatically!
GALES The greenhouse must be kept fully closed in rough weather.
GLASS CHANNELS Ensure that this is kept free from debris and allows the glass to slide smoothly. Periodically lubricate the running
edge of the glass with a wax candle.
SNOW If snow is very heavy - avoid letting it build up on the roof
SHELVING Stand pot plants on saucers, or use optional shelf covers which incorporate a layer of capillary matting to absorb excess
water when watering. Alternatively, stand the pots in empty seed trays.
WATERING SYSTEM The system accepts standard quick connectors. Turn the tap on slowly until the mist fills the greenhouse; too
much pressure will throw water on to the back wall. Leave on for 5 minutes, or ½ minute for damping down.
SITING Site on the sunniest place available. Anything from East through South to West is suitable. If it has to face North, don't despair, it
will be warmer in than outside! If you can fix to a brick or stone wall, you will get extra heat storage during the day.
REDUCING THE LENGTH If it is just too long for your ideal spot, it can be shortened. Re-drill the holes at one end of the rails - moving
them in by the amount you need to remove. Hacksaw off the surplus aluminium and shorten the shelf rods and irrigation pipe. The glass
will merely overlap more - don't try to cut toughened glass!
