VICTORIAN ASSEMBLY

Version 2016_1.1

PRODUCT INFORMATION
Dear customer,
Thank you for buying a high-quality aluminium greenhouse.
REMARKS
The drawings in these instructions are for all basic models.
However, this manual should be sufficient to guide you
through the assembly of all sizes and variations of this
greenhouse. This greenhouse is designed for cultivation of
plants/flowers. Therefore leakage, water drops and
condensation inside the building are allowed. The building
should only be entered by competent persons during
cultivation or maintenance. Aluminium profiles that are not
painted may show black stains, these stains are not a
production error: they can be easily removed with a
aluminium cleaner available at every good drugstore. The
rubber strips have been treated with oil/silicone on the
interior to facilitate the assembly. The greenhouse can be
mounted on a solid concrete foundation or on a solid packed
surface with concrete anchors in the corners. The solid
concrete foundation should be deep enough to get a solid
and frost-free ground. The greenhouse should be anchored
securely and the anchors should be checked periodically.
During winter it is necessary to clear the roof of snow or
support it in a suitable way. The greenhouse should be built
in a location protected from strong winds. Protective gear
(such as protective gloves) should be used during assembly
in order to avoid injuries. One should pay attention at all
times and consult the local building regulations.
ASSEMBLY ORDER
The assembly procedure is the same for all our
greenhouses.
- Sort the profiles according the model.
- Assemble the complete aluminium framework.
- Level the framed greenhouse using a waterlevel.

This page applies when you build on a
stem wall with a drop door kit.
Note: Divide millimeters by
25.4 to calculate inches
All dimensions are the external dimensions of the aluminum profiles!

Note: When assembling the foundation
in this step, only hand-tighten the nuts.
The corners may need to be slightly
loose to attach the corner uprights.
Note: Before assembling the
foundation, insert (3) M6x15
bolts as shown for the sliding
door guide.
See page S1.
Suggestion: If the unit is to be installed
on a concrete foundation you will need
to cut PRO210 flush with the bottom of
PRO6120.
You can lay the cut off PRO210 pieces
on their side and use them to secure the
PRO6120 to the concrete foundation.

Insert bolt in each upright on the
side where the top shelf will be
located.
Insert bolt in corner of
front and back wall for
Seed Tray. See page
ZB2 and SC1

Suggestion: Now is a good time to install
the L1 corner wind braces shown on page H10.

"stopper"

Note: A bolt needs to be added for the Seed Tray

Note: Now is a good time to install the
roof braces. Refer to page H10.
Note: If you have purchased curtains now
is a good time to install the
curtain rails.
Refer to page SD1
Note: Add one bolt per
end for the roof
support tube.
See page H9

Note: Roof window can be installed in any bay.
Note: When installing the roof uprights, make note of which bays will
have roof windows and insert a bolt for the connection plate.

Note: Ends of support tube will need to be bent to fit.
Attach the lower end and adjust the top until it fits
flush.

Note: Wait until assembly is complete before attaching the
diagonal roof braces to the roof uprights.
For sidewall braces:
For roof braces:

Note: You may receive these supports for your VI46 or the ones seen on the next page.

Use a brace to push roof beams up
1" when installing supports. An
easy way to do this is with a 2"x4"
pice of wood. Measure from the
floor to the roof beam and add 1
inch, cut a 2"x4" piece of wood to
that length to brace it up while
installing supports.
You may need to use a drill to
create a notch in which to insert
neccesary bolts. Please do this
between where the two bolts will sit
so it will be covered with the
support.
Royal Victorian Roof Supports for Greenhouses over 17 feet long
Note: Your greenhouse may have come with either this style of support
or the one on the previous page.

Note: Use small self-
tapping screws to attach the
plastic gutter down spout to
the gutter profile and the
down pipe to the plastic
downspout. (Shown below)
Note: The gutter down pipe is attached to
the base of the greenhouse with a screw
that goes through the back of the elbow.
First drill a small hole in the back of the
elbow and then a small hole in the frame
of the greenhouse for the screw to thread
into. Run the screw through the hole on
the inside of the elbow and into the
greenhouse base.
