Introduction - Slotting parts together
The greenhouse is based on parts that slot together using stainless steel screws, as shown in the
diagram below. These are self tapping screws which require a little bit of force to get them fully
seated.
8

Ensure that your screwdriver is
fully engaged with the screw
head when you tighten, so that
you donʼt round off the head of
the screw.
Note the orientation of each
piece in the description;
specifically the closed face.
WARNING Every care has been taken during manufacture to avoid sharp edges or burrs,
however you should still take care when handling metal parts.
WARNING DO NOT USE POWER TOOLS TO SCREW IN THE SCREWS. YOU MIGHT SNAP OFF
THE HEAD, WHICH IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
Step 1 - Seal the polycarbonate panels (optional)
This step is optional, but is recommended.
Twin wall polycarbonate panels act like double glazing for your mini greenhouse. To improve the
insulation characteristics, itʼs good to seal the ends of the channels using the foil tape provided.
It also helps prevent bugs from crawling into the plastic.
1. Peel back a couple of inches of the protective foil which covers both sides of the panels,
but donʼt take it all the way off yet.
2. Apply the tape to the end of the panel, covering the flutes / open ends.
3. Fold down the sides to seal the tape to the panels.
The white film is on the UV protected side which should face out when you place the panels
into the greenhouse.
9

Step 2 - Attach the door handles
Do this step first to allow the adhesive tape to cure while you assemble the rest of the
greenhouse. Youʼll fit the doors at the end.
Parts
4 x door handle
4 x polycarbonate door
Fix the door handles to the doors as shown in the drawing
above, using the tape fixed to the handles.
Make sure you have peeled the protective film off the doors
first, the surfaces are clean, dry and free from grease, and that
the UV treated side of the door panels (white film) faces out.
There is a sticker on the upper pair of doors.
NOTE: The longer (taller) doors are the lower pair
10

Step 3 - Assemble the base
Parts:
1 x front assembly. 1308mm
uprights
1 x rear assembly. 910mm
uprights
2 x side base extrusion 45cm
This step is best done on a flat surface where you can
easily access the screws at the bottom, such as a table or
workbench.
11

Slot the front and rear
assemblies over the base
extrusions
The closed faces on the
assembly uprights face
outside the greenhouse.
The side base parts have
the single channel facing
up, and the double channel
facing down.
Slot the assemblies over the
screws on the side base parts
and tighten.
12

Step 3 - Fit the rear upright joining straps
Move the frame down onto the floor.
Parts
2 x joining strap
8 x M5 x 8 button head
8 x M5 square nut
Insert the 8mm bolts into the joining straps, and put a
square nut on the back of each, loosely.
Slide the square nuts into the outside channel of the
rear uprights.
The outside channel is the far le or far right channel;
the joining straps will be on the outside of the
greenhouse.
Tighten the lower pair of bolts.
13

Step 4 - Fit the top rear uprights
Parts
2 x top rear upright 558mm
With the holes as shown in the drawing below, slide the top rear
uprights down over the joining straps.
The closed face should be to the rear of the greenhouse.
Tighten the upper pair of bolts.
14

Step 5 - Insert square nuts into cross bars
Parts
4 x side cross bar 45cm
4 x M5 square nut
Insert a square nut into the inside channel of each
crossbar that will go on the le side of the
greenhouse. The inside channel is the one opposite
the closed face.
15

Step 6 - Side panels and side crossbars
Parts:
8 x clear side panel
2 x clear top side panel
4 x side cross bar 45cm
4 x side cross bar with nuts 45cm
Peel the protective plastic off the side
panels. Slot the panels into the frame, one
on each side.
The side with the white film should face
outside; it is the UV treated side.
Slide the crossbars, closed face
outwards, down over the clear side
panels.
The bars with the nuts go on the le side.
Tighten the screws.
Finish inserting all the side panels and
cross bars in the same way.
Step 7 - Front centre crossbar
Parts:
1 x Front centre cross bar
(600mm with double channel top and bottom)
With the closed face outwards, slide the crossbar into the front of the greenhouse from the top
down and tighten when the screws line up with the holes in the uprights.

Step 8 - Lower rear panel and rear brace
Parts:
1 x Lower rear panel (shorter
panel)
1 x Rear brace (600mm with screws
in)
This step can be made easier by
squeezing the edges of the
panels that will be in the slots of
the frame so that they are
slightly deformed.
Slide the panel into the slots on
the rear of the greenhouse. Make
sure it's fully seated in the base.
Itʼs a snug fit into the base
(anti-slug!)
Slide the bar into the rear of the
greenhouse. Closed face
outwards.
Tighten the screws from the sides.
18

Step 9 - Fit the right side top assembly
Parts:
1 x Right side top assembly
3 x M5 * 8mm button head bolt
3 x M5 square nut
1 x M5 * 10mm button head bolt
Insert the 8mm bolts into the
assembly in positions marked 1,2,3,
and add the square nuts on the
inside, loosely.
Slide the assembly down over the
side panel, inserting the square
nuts into the outer channels on the
uprights.
Screw the 10mm bolt into the lower square nut which is already in the outside channel of the
assembly and tighten by hand. This will form part of the storm lock (see end of guide for more
info.) Ensure the second square nut in the channel is further up towards the rear of the
extrusion.
The front end goes down as far as it will go, and the rear end is flush with the top of the rear
upright (see drawing).
Tighten the bolts.
19

Step 10 - Fit the le side top assembly
Parts:
1 x Le side top assembly
3 x M5 * 8mm button head bolt
3 x M5 square nut
Repeat step 9 for the le hand side top assembly
Step 11 - Fix lid lier bracket to adapter plate
This step is only relevant if you have purchased an automatic lid opener.
Parts in Lier Box :
1 x Piston Clip (end of box)
1 x Piston
1 x Arm
1 x Lier Bracket
The lid lier bracket is in the lid opener box.
Parts:
1 x lid lier bracket
1 x adapter plate
2 x M5 x 10mm button head
2 x M5 nyloc nut
Bolt the lier bracket to the adapter plate as
shown in the diagram to the right, with the
nyloc nuts on the inside of the bracket.
Step 12 - Fix bracket to front crossbar
Parts:
1 x front crossbar 600mm
1 x bracket assembly from step 11
2 x M5 x 8mm button head
2 x M5 square nuts
Slide two square nuts into the rear channel (the side opposite the closed face). Bolt the bracket
assembly in the exact centre of the bar.
