Dear Customer, Please read ALL these instructions before assembly. The assembly of your new Essential greenhouse requires no technical knowledge. However it is important that the assembly instructions are followed carefully. All fixings are found in bags 2 to 10. Extra fixings may be included in your kit. Fix casement stays or auto vents with screw type SC004 and using the pre fitted side vent as a guide. Greenhouse Base Notes The measurements must match that of the base plan. A suitable foundation on which to construct the base must be laid depending on local ground conditions. Ensure the base is square and level and diagonal measurements are equal. Fixing Greenhouse to Base Check that the structure is square, ensuring dimensions across diagonals are even, before securing to the base. Steel Base (refer to step 5) Position a fixing bracket on the inside of the steel base and using screw type SC125 fix through the bracket and into the greenhouse cill. Position and fix all the brackets supplied evenly around the structure s base. Tools Required for Assembly PZ2 Screwdriver Electric Screwdriver (Optional) Drill A Clamp When Fixing Sections Together (Recommended) 10mm Spanner Spirit Level Tape Measure 7mm HSS Bit Assembling Gables and Side Walls IMPORTANT: When building the gables and side walls, ensure the back of the components are always flush. This is to ensure when glazing, the glass fits without any problems. Because cedar wood is a natural product, it may be required to sand/plane some parts to ensure they fit comfortably. Roof Vent Fix casement stays or autovents with screw type SC004 and using the pre fitted side vent as a guide. Glazing Notes (Refer to Step 15) We recommend 2 people for glazing the structure. Safety goggles and gloves are required when handling glass. Low Threshold (refer to step 29) If you choose to fit this, a clear mastic sealant can be applied along its length at ground level. Also anti-slip tape (PT705) is supplied and can be applied along its length. Caring for Your Greenhouse Clean the gutter for leaves, etc. Remove greater snow loads from roof. Take precautions against snow falling down from for instance a tree or a roof. Secure door and windows preventing wind damage. Cedar Wood Information Cedar is prone to absorption of moisture to attain balance with the surrounding atmosphere. As a result this moisture can track to the inside of the greenhouse particularly in the areas that are subject to the greatest weathering. Because of the fibre structure of the cedar it will also dry very quickly which often will leave a mark where the extractives have been released. These extractives are the oils naturally present in the cedar that make it resistant to rot. As the wood weathers it gradually changes colour, the first stage is the darkening of the wood as water soluble extractives are drawn to the surface. In time this trend reverses and the wood gradually turns silver grey. Insurance Please note that insurance companies usually cover greenhouses automatically.
