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-louvre, 6-roof, 7-vent, 8-glazing, 9-

vent attachment, 10-door attachment, 11 anchoring down, 12 finishing touches, 13 optional shelf, 14 optional staging. If you need to contact us for assis-

tance 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.

No TITLE ASSEMBLY SYNOPSIS: IMPORTANT INFORMATION / CONSIDERATIONS

PARTS LIST Most components should have a ‘D’ code punched into their metal surface. Identify and separate all like for like components

prior to assembly. The ‘parts list’ also separates parts into the various sections 1 - 12 shown below. Parts can also be identi-

fied by their profile pictures and stated lengths etc..

BASE Base dimensions and recommendations. Ensure that your base is level as this will make assembly of the building, especially

the glazing of the roof much more straight forward. Please be aware that the hinge door on your greenhouse opens inwards,

make sure that there will be no interference between the door and the foundations.

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 bolt slides into each glazing bar during construction). Please also

remember to slide in your 22mm bolts for attaching the decorative eave spandrels ‘DV100’ in section 5.

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 and 5. 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.

LOUVRE They attach to the building during the glazing process (8) like a piece of glass with a black separator above and below them.

If you are fitting an optional auto-louvre then you need to carefully drill (3mm bit) out the rivets which mount the handle to the

frame. You can then either utilise those holes or create more to mount the unit.

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 gut-

ter. Attach your cresting before you glaze the building to give yourself more room to work. Utilise the 22mm bolts slid into the

side (section 1) and roof bars to attach your DV100 and DV101 spandrels. On longer models you may need to carefully prop

up the roof and tie the sides together to keep the ridge and gutters straight (i.e. not sagging or bowed) until the building is fully

glazed.

7a 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.

7b 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).

GLAZING

Layout the bar cappings and covers around the building like a sundial checking that all is present and correct. You can also

place the roof cappings 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 gut-

ter 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. 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.

IMPORTANT: On the roof sections please make sure that you place a screw around 25mm / 1” from the bottom of

each capping strip (create a hole in the plastic if required) and that the screws are nice and tight to avoid any glass

slippage.

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 movement (so insert stop / vent / stop). Attach the Bayliss XL

autovents.

10 DOOR

ATTACHMENT Your door comes pre-constructed and locked minus the handles and their pivot pin but now it needs to be mounted to the

front end of your building. Utilise the ‘DV522’ plates and twist in crop headed bolts to join the door and its frame to the build-

ing (pinch the door frame against your long front verticals whilst tightening your ‘DV522’ plates to ensure that there is no gap).

If you are struggling to eradicate the gap between the door frame and verticals then some silicone can be carefully applied to

the area to create a vertical seal. Be careful not to lock yourself in the building and to avoid damage do not open the door

until it is attached to the front gable. Getting the door to swing perfectly without dropping or rubbing on the ground may re-

quire some small but vital adjustments. You may also need to insert a packer underneath the door frame hinge to increase

ground clearance. Part ‘DV275’ canopies the door frame top hiding the clearance space at the top of the door. The door can

only be made to swing inwards.

IMPORTANT: Please do NOT let the door slam open or closed as it is likely to cause damage to the door and the frame.

Please twist the handle to open and close. Please also be aware that your door KEYS (3 provided) are unique to the building

so they should not be stored together.

11 ANCHORING

DOWN Now that the greenhouse is finished and the door and vent/s are operating without interference 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 FINISHING

TOUCHES Now that the main body of the structure is complete you can add; downpipe fittings, eave bungs, gutter stop ends. It is also

important to carefully apply some silicone to the internal eaves corners and external and internal ridge corners to minimise

the chance of water entering the structure.

13 OPTIONAL

SHELVING

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 construction 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 brackets are set 900mm from the cills

though you can alter this to suit the end user/s. The aluminium 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
