Thank you for purchasing your new Robinsons greenhouse. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the instructions and read all safety

information before you commence assembly. This instruction manual is also available online at www.robinsonsgreenhouses.co.uk

in our technical help section should you need to reprint it. Should you require any additional advice you can always call us on 01782 385409.

These instructions are divided into sections highlighted by a white number/letter on a black background at the bottom corner of most pages (see opposite

page for details); part lists, B-base, P-preparation, 1-sides, 2-front gable, 3-rear, 4-joining the four sides together, 5-roof, 6-vent, 7-door, 8-glazing, 9-vent

attachment, 10-door attachment, 11 anchoring down, 12 optional louvre, 13 optional shelf, 14 optional staging, 15 finishing touches. If you need to con-

tact us for assistance please refer to the relevant section/s. If your building is longer than 12’, i.e. has an extension then please also refer the separate

extension manual.

Safety Warning

 Glass and aluminium can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when

assembling and glazing the building.

 Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and dispose of any breakages immediately.

 Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds.

 For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a minimum of two people.

 Please clear all lying snow from the greenhouse roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or collapse.

Site Preparation

 When selecting a site for your greenhouse, it is vital that you choose as flat and level an area as possible.

 A concrete or slabbed base will provide the most solid foundation for your greenhouse.

 IMPORTANT: Do not fix your building down until the building is fully assembled, including glazing.

 Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations.

 To minimise the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedgerow or garden fence.

Additional Considerations

 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.

 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.

 If you have arranged for someone to install your greenhouse for you, please check that all components are included. Most parts are numbered

and can be identified by a stamped number (without the ’D’) or removable label. Alternatively, the

components can be identified by lengths detailed in the packing list (see diagram below).

 Anchoring down your greenhouse should be the final stage of construction (including glazing).

 Once installed your greenhouse requires little maintenance, but to maintain the smooth running of

your door(s) WD40 or similar can be applied to the door wheels and lower door guides.

Guarantee

 Your new Robinsons greenhouse is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture of the frame-

work. This does not include glazing, moving parts, accidental damage or wind damage.

SECTION

No TITLE ASSEMBLY SYNOPSIS: IMPORTANT INFORMATION / CONSIDERATIONS

PARTS LIST Most components should have a ‘D’ code punched into their metal surface. Identify and sepa-

rate all like for like components prior to assembly. The ‘parts list’ also separates parts into the

various sections shown below. Parts can also be identified by their profile pictures and stated

lengths etc..

B BASE Base dimensions and recommendations. Ensure that your base is level as this will make as-

sembly of the building, especially the glazing of the roof much more straight forward.

P PREPARATION Tools required. IMPORTANT: Use WD40 or similar in the glazing bar channels and insert the

black glazing rubber prior to frame assembly.

SIDES Take the side glazing bars ‘D066’ with the rubber inserted and the diagonal braces ‘D103’,

use 10mm bolts to join them to the gutter and 15mm bolts to the cills (note how the head of

the bolts slide into each glazing bar during construction).

2 FRONT Again insuring that the gable framework is rubbered-up follow the diagrams to assemble each

end of the building. Make sure that you have inserted the extra bolts utilised in sections 4, 5

and 10. On the roof and side corner bars not every rubber channel will require rubber unless it

is to be utilised in a partition (see separate manual and section P).

3 REAR

4 JOINING THE

FOUR SIDES Take the two sides (1) and both gables (2 & 3) and join them together on your base. It is a

good idea to tie some ladders to the sides to support them if you do not have anyone to hold

them for you.

5 ROOF Attach the ridge and then the rubbered-up roof bars ensuring that they are fully butted up to

the ridge and down onto the gutter. If you have cresting then it is a good idea to fit it before

glazing, see section (15).

6a VENT Once the vent is glazed add silicone to the vent sides and top. Stand the vent/s on their hinge

(vent top) and then leave the silicone to set.

6b VENT SLAM The slam bar ‘D079’ can be moved up and down between the roof glazing bars so that it can

be butted down onto the pane of glass beneath, the autovent will be attached to it later on (9).

7 DOOR Construct the door using the diagrams and then leave to one side ready for attachment in

section (10).

GLAZING

Layout the bar capping and covers around the building like a sundial checking that all is pre-

sent and correct. You can also place the roof capping in the gutters so they are closer to

hand. The glass in the sides has to bevel on the black separator strip which is on top of the

305mm high glass base panels. This bevelling action allows the glass to tuck underneath the

gutter canopy. Use the capping and the self tapping screws to then hold the glass in place.

The covers then enclose the screw heads giving a neat finish. A top tip is to not attach the

door post capping (D766/D767) until you have fitted the door runner and threshold (10) to give

you more room to manoeuvre. It is a good idea to glaze two roof sections first to ensure the

building is square followed by two side sections to ensure the building isn't leaning,

9 VENT

ATTACHMENT Take the assembled vent and slide the vent hinge ‘D866’ into the end of the ridge allowing the

vent the pivot open and closed. Vent stops go either side of the vent to stop any lateral move-

ment (so insert stop / vent / stop). Attachment of the Bayliss XL autovents.

10 DOOR

ATTACHMENT Utilise the bolts inserted in section (2) to attach the upper door track. The lower door runner

’D860’ and ramp threshold ‘D087’ push down and lock together.

11 ANCHORING

DOWN Now that the greenhouse is finished and the door and vent/s are operating without interfer-

ence then you need to anchor the building down using 2” rawl plugs and screws. Use a 7mm

masonry bit in a hammer drill to create the holes.

12 OPTIONAL

LOUVRE They attach to the building during the glazing process (8) like a piece of glass with a black

separator above and below them.

OPTIONAL

SHELVING

OPTIONAL

STAGING

15 FINISHING

TOUCHES Now that the main body of the structure is complete you can add; ridge caps, downpipe fit-

tings, eave bungs. Images showing cresting and finial attachment, this is often easiest to do

after section (5) rather than using the vent apertures later on (i.e. before glazing).

Robinsons integral cantilever staging and shelving attaches to the inside of the greenhouse

frame using either square head bolts (insert four into each side glazing bar ’D066’ during con-

struction of the sides (1)) or rectangular ‘crop head’ bolts which can be fitted retrospectively

(both sets of bolts accompany the shelving/staging). This system allows the height of either

the staging or the shelf to be set at an operator specific height. Commonly the staging brack-

ets are set 900mm from the cills though you can alter this to suit the end user/s. The alumin-

ium shelf / staging slats come in two lengths; (4’):1240mm ‘D2002’ and (6’):1860mm ’D2003’.

These slats can combine to create any length of staging required, i.e. 4’+6’ = 10’ etc...

THE DIMENSIONS BELOW ARE THE EXACT EXTERNAL BASE DIMENSIONS FOR THE ROBINSONS RANGE.

We cannot emphasis how important it is to have a proper base for your Robinsons Greenhouse to be erected upon.

It is essential that the BASE IS FLAT, LEVEL AND SQUARE AS WELL AS BEING SUBSTANTIAL enough to take the

weight of the greenhouse including its 4mm glass.

Give yourself enough room around your base to allow for fitting the glass and any on-going maintenance / cleaning. A slab base which

is larger than the greenhouse is the ideal solution and is our preferred foundation.

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 glass will not fit properly.

IMPORTANT: If you have anything overhanging the ridge on a lean-to building then please make sure it does not interfere with the mo-

tion of the roof vents.

MANUAL

Feed glazing rubber into each glazing bar and

trim to length. Notice that some channels are

only used on a partition. Applying a lubricant to

the aluminium channels will speed up insertion.

The frame is assembled by feeding square

headed bolts, either 10mm or 15mm in length

into the slots on glazing bars and then locating

those bolts through holes in purlings and cills,

etc… Twist in (rectangular) crop headed bolts

are also used towards the end of construction

to attach components to the frame when the

glazing bar slots are no longer exposed at the

ends. 10mm
