no responsibility.
4. It is recommended that this greenhouse is assembled by two people.

7. The greenhouse must always be anchored.
SITE SELECTION
Always try to select a sunny location, sheltered
from the wind as much as possible.
IMPORTANT
Before assembling your new greenhouse,
please check that all parts in the provided list

the packaging in order to identify the parts
better.
It is important that the opened bundles do not
get mixed with one another.
If something is missing please contact your
retailer.
Note - The UV-resistant side of the
polycarbonate panes is indicated by a plastic
film or printing at the edge. This side must
face outside.
In order to seal the greenhouse effectively it is
suggested that you apply neutral silicone as
shown in diagrams (4b.7), (4b.8), (7a.6) and
(7a.8). Silicone is provided for this purpose.

regularly to avoid a build-up of debris.
0. FOUNDATION
Important! The foundation must be exactly
right angular and level. To achieve this you will
require a spirit level and a right angle.
Note - If the distance between the two
opposite corners is the same then the
foundation is right angular.
For the erection of this greenhouse we
suggest a solid foundation constructed from
concrete, brickwork or stonework.
If you have no experience with the
construction of such a foundation please
consult a company specialising in this work.
Materials and tools for the preparation of the
suggested foundation are not provided.
The suggested foundation allows the door to
be assembled in the front of the greenhouse.
The door can also be assembled on any other
side if required. Please then prepare the
210mm wide foundation on this side using
length C or D as reference.
Foundations must extend down below the frost
level.
Diagrams in a single frame show the view
from inside the greenhouse. Those
enclosed in a double frame show the view
from outside the greenhouse.
