2 Statement Dear Customer! May we congratulate you on your new Greenhouse. We feel sure that by following the detailed assembly instructions you will find as much pleasure in actually building the greenhouse as the time you will spend in your greenhouse in the future. The assembly instructions mainly consist of detailed illustrations and no specific technical knowledge is required for the assembly of the greenhouse. The house is packed in one carton and contains all of the sheets of polycarbonate, frames and fittings, excluding the base. All of the aluminum profiles are marked with a part number corresponding to the numbers given on the drawings and in the parts list. Nuts, bolts and fittings will be found in the relevant package. All of the rear gable section frames are in package No.1 All of the front gable section frames are in package No.2 All of the side wall section frames are in package No.3 All of the roof section frames are in packing No.4 All of the frames and components for the window are in package No.5 All of the frames and components for the door are in package No.6 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. Accessories We offer a wide range of accessories which contribute to a better yield and make life easier for the gardener. A selection of the range is shown in the supplements to these instructions. Your dealer will be pleased to assist you with further information. Winter Protection In areas where snow might be expected we recommend the following in order to protect your greenhouse: 1.Support the ridge at the center of the greenhouse. 2.Remove larger snow loads. 3.Take precautions against snow dropping, for instance from a roof. Complaints We put severe demands on quality to secure that you get a faultless product. However, should a problem occur, we kindly ask you to contact the dealer from whom you have bought the greenhouse. For a quick service, you should specify the extent of the defect by means of the parts list in the assembly instructions. Please also note the model number which is stamped on the front page of these instructions. Insurance Not all insurance companies automatically cover greenhouses. We recommend you contact your insurance company to ensure that you are covered. Foundation It cannot be stressed enough that the creation of a secure level foundation is the most important first step. It is also crucial for the long term use and life of your greenhouse. Any uneveness in the foundation will make assembly troublesome. It may also cause stresses in the structure of the greenhouse frame. Resulting glazing cracks or doors and windows becoming stiff to open and close. Time taken now is well spent. Foundation could be in concrete, brick, or paving slabs all of which you will need to source, or ask our local fitters to provide. This could be across the entire floor area or just as footings around the outside. We recommend purchasing a Lacewing deluxe base which will add strength and support to your greenhouse.

Caution Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all sheet edges before installing.

The UV-protected side of the sheet is covered with opal white film and must face towards the sun.

Keep sharp instruments away from the polycarbonate sheets. Tips Read the instructions completely before starting to assemble.

Find someone to help you: This is not very heavy work so would suit most able-bodied people.

3 Caution Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all sheet edges before installing. Remove all film immediately after the constructions is completed. The UV-protected side of the sheet is covered with opal white film and must face towards the sun. Please put on gloves to avoid cutting your hands. Dropping the frame may damage the structure and will no longer fit properly. Keep sharp instruments away from the polycarbonate sheets. Tips Read the instructions completely before starting to assemble. Construct the base first so that the greenhouse can be securely mounted when completed. Find someone to help you: This is not very heavy work so would suit most able-bodied people. Allow plenty of time: If you have never built a greenhouse before, it can take most of a day to carefully complete the construction. Lay out all the parts of the greenhouse and check that all of the parts are present before commencing construction. Lay on cloths or plastic sheets if there is any risk of scratching the parts. Assemble the greenhouse loosely where possible and tighten when all in place so that minor adjustments can be made. Note that some nuts will need to be tightened to keep them in place. Check the frame is square and using a spirit level to check that it is upright.

8 Rear Gable With this page, you will assemble the rear gable (back). It is far easier if you have an elevated surface such as big size of plywood on a sawhorses. If not, lay the aluminum profiles out on a hard surface as shown in the main illustration. Remember you are building from the inside with the outside facing down. Start with one of the A panels and build the aluminum around the polycarbonate panel. the polycarbonate side with the opal film/text must facing down. If you feel difficult, you could fix aluminum frame at first, then sliding A panels into aluminum frame channels from bottom, that will be easier. Square No.1 This is the left corner. The square headed bolt slides into the channel in part #161 and is locked into place with a nut on part #024. Square No.4 Part #p2 is the gray plastic spacer which gives the angle between parts #169 and #161. Please adjust #m2 in order to match #082 and #011 well. Don t forget to leave extra bolts in parts #041, #042 and #044, #049 for later use. #041 will share square head bolt #a1 with #082 or #011 and #024. #042 will share square head bolt #a1 with #082 or #011 and #024 also. #044 need 2 extra bolts #a1 for connecting #082 later. Do the same for the opposite end. Square No.7 Once plate #m2 is placed on bolts, attach part #082 and tighten. You may have to loosen the bolts holding plate #m2 when fitting the gutter in later. Do the same for the opposite end. Square No.9 If you cannot get part #m1 to fit into the bolts, spread the angle apart or push it together. It will fit. You may have to loosen the bolts holding plate #m1 when fitting the ridgepole in later. When finished with the back gable, stand it up out of the wind so it will not blow over.

10 Front Gable This page refers to the front gable. It is similar to the rear gable with the exception of the door. It does not have a panel in the center where the door will eventually cover. All the steps are very much like the rear gable with a few exceptions. Square No.2&3 Make sure the vertical flange of part #131 & #132 is toward the center. Square No.7 The bolt #a3 is an extra long stainless bolt. Part #142 is below part #167 and #168. The bolt slides into part #142 and extends through parts #167 & #168. Adjust the #m4 before tightening the bolts on part #142. Once you have finished the front and rear gable, you will find the remaining assembly considerably easier.

12 Side wall Now you are ready to assemble the sections of the greenhouse. Square No.1 You are now attaching the ridgepole #071 to the gables. This is where you may have to adjust the bolts in plate #m1 to fit the pole into the gable. Square No.2 This may also require some adjusting of the corner plates, however it will fit very precisely if done properly. If you find you cannot slide the part #061 in far enough for the bolt to fit the slot, it may be the corner plate blocking. Use a flat screwdriver to edge the corner plate away from part #161 in order to allow the part #061 to slide all the way in. Square No.3 This can be the most frustrating part of the assembly, or it can be one of the easiest. This is where you will use an open-end 10 mm wrench. Because of the tight corner, it is difficult to work with the nut driver. Once you have attached part side sill, front sill, rear sill beam or p6 to side corner bar part #161, slide the bolt with the nut partially on up side corner bar part #161. Bring the corner together and slide the bolt down into the slot. Tighten with the openend wrench. Square No.4 & No. 5 Make sure the trough of the part #061. You may have to have someone to help you while you assemble. Connect part #031 at the trough of the part #061 & Part #022 with bolt #a1 and nut a2. Do the same on the opposite side. Note: Please add extra bolt into #031 channel for eave cantilever #253 use in advance. Then slide the side panel F with p7 on both ends into the channel of part #031 and part #161, extend to the bottom of side sill beam part #022.

14 Roof Put window in place before inserting part #033. After window in place, don t forget inserting #p3 into the both sides of window through ridgepole #071 channel to fix window later. The part #033 Beside window with one more bolts #a1. for part #045 use later. Square No.1 & No.2 Insert two bolts into part #033, connect part #033 at the trough of the ridgepole #071 & part #061. Do the same on the opposite side. Very important: Bolts need to be slid into each roof bar #033 in advance, one for the ridge cantilever, one more bolt to attach the hanging basket rail #016,one more bolt is needed to attach the eave cantilever bracing between the roof and the side. Please note: At this stage you will need to insert an extra bolt into each bar either side of a vent opening. If you haven t already done so you need to decide now where your roof vents are positioned so that you can work out the number of bolts in each bar #033. Slide the roof panel #I1 & #G1 directly into the frame from the bottom. Square No.3 When the roof panel and side panel in place, use part #062 to cover part #061 with bolts #a8.

16 Window Square No.1 When mounting part #051 onto part #044,the left post should be directly in line with the center of the window. Square No.3 and 4 When assembling the window using screw #a5, it is essential to use a lubricant on the screws. A power screwdriver here is almost too much force, as it is easy to strip the heads. If possible turn the screws in by hand. Square No.5 The push rod should be mounted so the handle extends up. Square No.6 The completed window slide into the ridgepole which act as a self-hinge. Square No.8 Part #p3 is plastic barrel shaped piece that is used on either side of the window to keep it from moving side to side. The screw #a4 will expand the plastic and hold it firm.

Do not forget the plastic door glides for bottom when assembling the door. Square No.6 #142. Part #P5 is a stop so the door will not drop out the end of part Square No.7 Bolt #a3 is an extra long steel bolt designed to extend through part #167 & #168. Square No.7 Part #091 is a vertical post used at the end of part #142 to keep it level. Loosen #m4 to adjust the #142 in suitable place in order to keep door sliding space. Adjust #p4 to make door sliding smoothly. Your greenhouse should now be completed. Make sure you anchor it to the foundation as soon as you can. As it will catch the wind.
