Thank you for purchasing your new greenhouse. We recommend you familiarize yourself with the instruc-
tions and read all safety information before you commence assembly.
The assembly instructions mainly consist of detailed illustrations and no specific technical knowledge is
required for the assembly of the greenhouse.
These instructions are divided into sections：Base, Side gable, Rear wall, Front wall, Roof, Vent, Door,
Louver, Polycarbonate or Glass, Fixing Spring clip or PVC capping bar, Down pipes, Anchoring green-
house to slab or base etc.
The house is packed in one carton and contains all of the parts and fittings. Package1(x2) mainly for side
gable parts, Package 2 for rear wall parts , Package 3 for front wall parts, Package 4 for roof parts, Pack-
age 5 for vent parts, Package 6 for door parts, Package 7 for Louver parts, Package 8 for down pipes
parts, fixing spring parts or PVC bars in other package. etc. All of the aluminum profiles are marked with a
part number corresponding to the numbers given on the drawings and in the separate parts list. Nuts, bolts
and fittings will be found in the relevant package.
The polycarbonate panel is packed in one carton, The sheets of Polycarbonate are not marked with a part
number, but the sizes appear in the overview. When fitting the Polycarbonate, the side with the opal film/
text must turn outward.
If include base, base is packed in another carton.
Safety Warning
1. Aluminum profiles, polycarbonate and glass can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear pro-
tective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when assembling and glazing the building.
2. Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and
dispose of any breakages immediately.
3. Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds.
4. For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a
minimum of two people.
5. The product you have purchased is intended only for the growing of plants and should only be used for
this purpose. When used for other purposes we will take no responsibility.
6. When using a step ladder one person should steady it at all times whilst the other works.
7. Should you encounter difficulties constructing this house, or in positioning the glass or polycarbonate
sheets, please contact your retailer– do not use force!
8. The greenhouse must always be anchored.
9. In the event of high winds, close all doors and vents.
10. In the event of heavy snowfall, Please support the greenhouse roof and clear all lying
snow from the roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or collapse.
Site Preparation
1. When selecting a site for your greenhouse, Always try to select a sunny location, it is vital that you
choose as flat and level an area as possible.
2. Supplier's original base or a concrete or slab base will provide the most solid foundation for your
greenhouse.
3. Do not fix your building down until the building is fully assembled, including glazing.
4. Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations.
5. To minimize the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedge-
row or garden fence.
Statement

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. Most parts are numbered
and can be identified by a stamped number or removable label. Alternatively, the components can be iden-
tified by lengths detailed in the packing list (see diagram below). Please also note that NOT all parts for a
specific area will be packed together, i.e. door related components are packed together and some are used
in main frame construction. and some side gable vent bars parts were packed in package No.5.
It is important that the opened bundles do not get mixed with one another. If something is missing please
contact your retailer.
The sheets of Polycarbonate are UV-protected on one side, When fitting the Polycarbonate, the side with
the opal film/text must turn outward. Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all sheet edges before
installing. Tear off all film immediately after the constructions is completed.
Additional Considerations
1. Please bear in mind that assembling your greenhouse can be time consuming. You may need to
spread the construction over two or more days. We recommend that you avoid leaving the building
partially glazed. If you ever have to leave your greenhouse half assembled and not anchored down,
weigh it down with slabs or bags of sand to stop the wind moving it.
2. You will find it helpful to prepare a large, clean and clear area in which to work in. A garage floor or flat
lawn area is ideal.
3. Anchoring down your greenhouse should be the final stage of construction just after glazing.
Necessary Tools
Screw drivers (Normal and Crosshead PH2),10 mm socket spanner or wrench, 10 mm combination span-
ner, knife, measuring stick, spirit level, Accu-drill with adjustable torque, Step ladder.
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 plastic.
Ensure that the door tracks are cleaned regularly to avoid a buildup of debris , If hinged door, the hinge
should be lubricated usually.
Insurance
Not all insurance companies automatically cover greenhouses. We recommend you contact your insurance
company to ensure that you are covered.

Base
We cannot emphasis how important it is to have a proper base for your Greenhouse to be erected upon.
It is essential that the BASE IS FLAT, LEVEL AND SUBSTANTIAL enough to take the weight of the
greenhouse including its polycarbonate panels or heavy glass.
Give yourself enough room around your base to allow for fitting the polycarbonate panel or glass and any
ongoing maintenance / cleaning. A slab base which is larger than the greenhouse is the ideal solution and
is our preferred foundation. If you use supplier's original base, also recommended.
A brick perimeter base is equally suitable providing there is a concrete foundation beneath it. We suggest
using a solid brick with no frogs or holes (quality stock bricks or semi-engineering bricks).
IMPORTANT: Do not anchor your greenhouse down until it is fully assembled including glazing unless
you are 100% sure your base is square and level. If not your polycarbonate panels or glass will not fit
properly.
