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 4mm glass.
Ideally the base should be a concrete perimeter footing a spade’s width and of
sufficient depth for your local ground conditions. A brick perimeter base is equally
suitable (and more attractive) providing there is a concrete foundation beneath it. We
suggest only quality stock bricks or semi-engineering bricks are used.
This is a copy of our greenhouse base plan incorporating external dimensions only.
Greenhouse Base Plan
NOTE: When calculating the length of a unit that has an extension you must add the main
module dimension to give you the overall length. See diagram above.
NOTE: If the prepared base is larger than these sizes then a seal must be made between
base rail and concrete.
NOTE: For Lean-To models less an end deduct 67mm from length.
Dimensions shown are all external and allow for a small overhang, as shown in diagram
below, suitable for brick or concrete perimeter bases.

POSITIONING THE VENT
NOTE: Before glazing it is advisable to
separate the various bar caps and
covers, the side bar caps, the gable
end bar caps and the bar caps for the
roof. The roof bar caps come in 2
lengths, the covers in one.
33. At this point the roof vent and vent stops must be slid
into the groove provided in the ridge (a vent stop
either side) and located over your chosen vent
aperture, do not tighten the vent stops at this stage.
(as drawing above).
GLAZING THE ROOF
Please refer to glazing plans.
34.Starting with one side of the roof and with reference
to the glazing plans identify the glass required and a
corner bar cap (No. 14, ID Chart), position the first
pane of glass and secure bottom of the bar cap with
two self tapping screws (No.17 ID Chart). On models
with a single piece of roof glass take care to feed the
glass into the ridge section and fix the other length
of bar capping. Finally fit the bar cap cover (No13,
ID Chart).
35.For models with 2 pieces of glass in the roof position
the next pane (610 x 610mm), taking care to feed the
glass into the ridge section. This pane should overlap
last sheet by 10mm approx, then place bar cap in
position and screw down with self tapping screws.
Totally secure the bar cap using self tapping screws.
Fit the bar cap cover (No.13, ID Chart)
36.Now glaze the roof section diagonally opposite (on
the other side of the greenhouse) in a similar way and
this will help to check that the frame is square.
37.Continuetoglazeoneofthe sidesoftherooffollowing
thesameprocedure,usingstandardroofbarcaps(No.
15, ID Chart)
38.When you reach the vent position it will be necessary
to slide the vent a short distance each way while the
bar cap is secured.
39.To secure the roof vent raise the vent from inside the
greenhouse, this will allow access for locating and
fixing the vent stops.
40.Now withonesideofthe roofglazedand with the roof
vent(s) secured repeat the glazing procedure for the
opposite side.

Glazing the Sides
41. Identify the slam rail (from vent kit) and slide the brush
strip along its length, protruding each end by
approximately 5mm. Then using standard M6 X 10
bolts and nuts attach the fixing cleats (No. 22, ID
Chart). Next identify 2 cropped head bolts (No. 24, ID
Chart) and ensuring that they are located into the
glazing bars on either side of the vent, slide rail down
onto edge of glass, tighten nuts to secure.
NOTE: See separate instruction leaflet
in opener box for full details.
GLAZING THE SIDES
43. With reference to the glazing plan identify glass, PVC
corner bar capping, PVC standard bar capping (No.
14 and 15 ID Chart), 4mm separator strips for glass
(No 25 ID Chart).
44.Bar capping will be almost the same length as side
glazing bars.
45.Starting fromonecorner, position first 610 x305panel
fitted with 4mm separator strip.
46.Select corner bar capping and secure with bottom self
tapping screws (No.17, ID Chart) only at this stage.
47.Continue fitting the 610 x 305 panels using standard
bar capping, finishing the row with another bar
capping.

51.Repeat instructions 48 to 50 until side glazing is
complete, finishing the side with a further corner bar
capping.Then fit the barcap covers, repeat the whole
procedure for the other side.
GLAZING THE PLAIN END
52.Locate and roughly lay out corner bar capping and
standard capping for greenhouse ends.
NOTE: Gable end corner bar caps are
longer than the side bar caps.
53.Following established procedure, fit all 610 x 305
panelsandallglass panes up to (but not including) the
top angled sheets and secure as work proceeds. (See
illustration, next column)
54.With reference to the glazing plan, identify the top

on ends will tuck up under roof end bars.
GLAZING THE DOOR END
55. The Royale and Rosette models are both supplied with
double doors. The Regent differs having a single door,
the fitting procedures are similar, the main difference
beingastrikeplateforthesingledoor(No.70,IDChart).
Fit the strike plate temporarily at this stage half way up
the glazing bar that the door will slide and lock onto.
56.With reference to the glazing plan for your model,
followtheestablishedproceduretoglazethedoorend,
using the doorbar caps and covers (1883mm) either
sideof the door aperture. Fix onto the top of these the
small ‘S’ shaped clips (No. 26, ID Chart) as shown.
NOTE: No glass can be fitted above the
door opening until the door frame has
been fitted.

glazing bar closure and apply silicon sealer (as shown
below).
NOTE: If you are not fitting an
extension, please turn to page 14.
EXTENSIONS
If you have been supplied with an extension, your main
buildingwilldifferinthattheroofendandcornerglazing
bars (on the end to which the extension will be fitted)
are replaced with standard side and roof glazing bars
from the extension module kit. These should be fitted
using long bolts throughout. In addition, it will be
necessary to slide additional bolts into each side bar
androofbars(5for RosetteandRegal,4for Royale,and
3 for Regent) to accommodate a reinforcing channel.
Continue therefore erecting the main building frame,
using the main instructions up to 29. When the main
frame is complete, continue as follows.
NOTE: If you are fitting a partition at the
front between two sections, refer to
the partition section.
86. Identify and fit gutter, base rail and ridge
connecting plates (Nos. 60, 61 & 63, ID Chart).

PARTITIONS
Partitions may be fitted at any glazing bar position in
the greenhouse. All that is required is to fit special
roof-end and corner glazing bars in lieu of the
conventional glazing bar, taking care to face the way
round required. The special roofend and corner
glazing bars are provided with a slot to allow the
ridge,gutterandbaserailtopassthrough.Ifhowever
the partition is required on a joint between a main
buildingandextensionmodule,thereinforcingframe
normally fitted between two buildings is no longer
used.Itisimperativeinthissituationthatthepartition

93.Clad as for plain end. Because the door is plain (no
handle or lock fitted), it can be made to slide in either
direction. After deciding which way you prefer, glaze
the gable end, leaving the two top shapes. Fit single
header to track (inner and outer) and position on top
of door posts. Secure with attachment plates using a
special double one between the two. You can then
complete the glazing not forgetting the ‘Z’ trim. Make
up the door drilling two 6mm holes for the handles in
the side required.
NB. Door can be fitted in either middle bay.
