All 8 series DDHW have the same assembly procedures,
variations are in the length of Ridge, gutter, and sills also the
number of roof and side bars.
When the Glasshouse exceeds 4m in length we make this as an
extension, the join may vary as to where this goes, normally as
near to the middle as possible eg, 816 (5.1m) two units at 2.55m
NOTE: PLEASE READ INSTRUCTION THROUGH FULLY BEFORE ASSEMBLY. SOME PRELOADING OF BOLTS REQUIRED.
When the Glasshouse exceeds 4m in length we make this as an extension, the join may vary as to where this
goes, normally as near to the middle as possible eg, 1016 (5.1m) two units at 2.55m
Note:
All bolts are standard 10mm
size.
Do not fully tighten all bolts
until the glasshouse has been
glazed. This is to allow for
movement of the frame if the
base is not completely level or
square.

You are now embarking on your journey to build your Eden
glasshouse! If the ride gets rough, don’t hesitate to contact us at
[email protected]. You will build the sides, back and front
separately and then join them together afterwards. Please start by
opening the box/s marked ‘middle’.
Good luck!

For ease of assembly, lay out on the ground or a table with the bolt hole / tracks, top side up, like the internal view.
The model shown here has the Eden
base kit attached. If you did not
purchase this, secure your side sills to
a concrete or wooden sleeper. (see
page 37 for base ideas)
Note:
All bolts are standard 10mm size.
Do not fully tighten all bolts until the
glasshouse has been glazed. This is
to allow for movement of the frame
if the base is not completely level or
square.
