Billy Oh Rosette Green House – Assembly Hints and Tips

WARNING

Please refer to all safety notices in the greenhouse manual before assembling any of the sections

TOP TIPS

1. These instructions are generic for all models. Part numbers vary, please use this product in

accordance with your supplied instruction manual.

2. Please check you have the correct instructions. All parts should be labelled as follows:

Part A for the 12 8 greenhouse, Part B for the 10 8 greenhouse,

Part C for the 7.4 7.4 greenhouse, Part for the 8 6 greenhouse.

3. To ensure the base is level and square, the use of a spirit level is essential and diagonal

corner measurements must be taken and accurately correspond. Failure to achieve this will

result in the greenhouse frame being out of line and prevent accurate positioning of the

glazing panels.

4. When satisfied with the base section the frame should be erected with constant use of the

spirit level even though adjustments will be necessary as the work progresses.

5. When assembling the greenhouse assemble the screws and nuts lightly, once you are happy

with the construction these can be tightened completely. Do not over tighten.

6. On completion of the framework and before beginning the glazing, it is advisable to test the

square of each of the roof sections with one of the panels and likewise the side and other

sections.

7. When placing roof sections into the ridge make sure they are pushed as far up as possible

into the ridge section.

8. Ensure tape is used when commencing the glazing procedure. Without it the bottom of

panels will be vulnerable to high winds since the securing clips only attach to the sides of the

frame. Use tape at the top and bottom of the panel as a minimum guideline.

9. It may be necessary to nip the top corners of the roof panels with pliers to slip more easily

into the grooves, take care not to damage the panels as this would not be covered under

warranty.

10. The piece of tape for the top of the panels may be better fi ed from inside the greenhouse

as the recess is tight.

11. If the greenhouse is sited in an e posed location and/or is e posed to high winds,

improvisation for e tra protection may be considered. If so the following is recommended:

Drill 3 holes in the ridge section central to each of the roof panels. Then drill 3

corresponding holes in both gutters. Fi strong cord ( i.e. Clothes line ) through the holes

and make fast to further safeguard the roof panels. Give similar attention to the side and

rear panels. This time attach 2 cords horizontally and equally spaced. It is important to drill

the holes in the uprights as close as possible to the face of the panels. If these guidelines are

followed diligently, the panels cannot escape even if the clips are dislodged by gale force

conditions. (Please note this is a tip provided by a customer to provide additional protection

during strong winds. It is not guaranteed to prevent damage occurring during adverse

weather but merely a suggestion). (see Additional Customer Tips section)

12. To summarise, the erection of the BillyOh Rosette Greenhouse may in the beginning appear

a daunting task and the structure deceptively flimsy. However, with patience and

perseverance, the end result is worth all efforts and the finished article , remarkably

resilient.

Base Frame Assembly

Fig 1

Assemble the base frame as detailed in the instructions and secure using the bolts as above.

Place the nut and bolts into the top sections and secure loosely then lay the ne t sections on top

of the base as per Fig 1.

Corner Uprights

Offer the upright corner section to the base and slot the nut heads into the groove on the

upright, do this carefully. Once the nut heads are in the channel and the upright is in place the

nuts and bolts can be tightened. Do not over tighten.

Loosely insert nut and bolt

Uprights

Channels

Clips for Uprights

Each of the uprights has clips ( Part 35 ) on the inside which need to be used as shown to add

additional stability to the uprights.

Note how the corner is completed. The photo is taken

Right hand corner. Insert triangle shaped piece before

adding supports.

oor Runner Assembly

It is recommended to leave the fitting of the door runner ( Part #22

)until the rest of the greenhouse is complete. As a first stage when

building the main green house just place the nut and bolt in place on the

left and right side as per the following photo. These are the bolts that

the runner (part 22) slides onto at a later stage.

When you are ready to place the already

assembled doors onto the frame please take note of the following

which is for the right hand door.

Slide the runner over the left

hand bolt towards the right

hand bolt.

Then slide the first top door runner into the groove

Push the door runner further to the right and attach the

bolt into the groove and continue to push the runner over

to complete the fitting.

Place the remaining top door runner into the groove to

complete the door attachment process. Make sure you attach

the bottom grooves to the greenhouse base.

Once you have the runner in place with the doors, the last job

to do is to tighten the two top bolts.

oor Runner Corner Assembly

At first glance it appears from the instructions

that the fitting of the door rail assembly is complicated

because the door rail sits further forward than the

frame. To overcome this two L shaped clips are used in

conjunction with each other which allows the door

frame runner to be connected to the main greenhouse frame.

This is achieved as follows, place one L shape piece

onto the frame and use the nut and bolts to secure

then place the second L shaped piece on top of the

first one and bolt the two together, the second one can

then be bolted to the door frame runner.

own Pipe Collector

The plastic down pipe connector slides between the gutter and the upright. Tip, you may need

to loosen the nut and bolts to assist in this then push the plastic connector in and re-tighten the

bolts.

Opening Vent

Some greenhouses have one opening vent and the larger units have two. The assembly of them

is e actly the same. Assemble the frame of the opening vent as per the instructions.

Note the hole in the centre of the bottom section, this is for the opening vent handle.

Once the frame is assembled this needs to be slid into the ridge frame of the greenhouse. There is a

rounded top on the top edge of the opening vent and this needs to be slid into the opening on the

ridge. You may need to hold the opening vent at a sharp angle to allow this. Trial and error will show

you the correct method. Once in place slide the fame into position.

TOP

Please note that there will be gap

at the top of the opening vent. This

is normal and as it was designed to aid

the opening of the window.

Tip for opening vent. If the vent falls through once it is installed, undue the nuts slightly on the coss

section and move up slightly until the bottom of the opening vent catches the centre cross member

to prevent the opening vent from falling through into the greenhouse.

Cross Member which can be moved into position

once the opening vent has been installed

Please make sure the cross member is correctly situated.

From the inside the groves should be at the top. This allows for the positioning of the window stay when

the window is open.

Cross Member

Please note it is advisable to build the

door frame starting from the top, place

the cross member between the two

door frame edges and secure using the

plastic runners and the securing

screws. (figure 1&2) Do not tighten

until the plastic runner is in the correct

place. This will move up and down as

required.

Note how the cross members are

slotted into the frame edge (figure 3 ).

Please make sure that the plastic

runners are placed the correct way

around for the top of the frame and

the bottom of the frame. ( T shape for

top and U shape for the bottom ) Once

the cross member is secure at the top

of the frame place the glazing in the

frame and then place the ne t cross

member between the two frame edges

and secure with the screws provided

(figure 4). Please note the correct

fitting for the bottom plastic runner.
