Prepare a Foundation
Before assembling your new Greenhouse a proper foundation must be prepared. A
number of anchoring options are possible, based on wind and ground conditions in
your area.
Make sure that you have checked with your local authorities regarding any required
building permits.
Decide at this time the final orientation of your Greenhouse. We recommend that
you place your greenhouse in a spot where it will receive direct sunlight and will be
protected from the wind as much as possible. The door should not face prevailing
winds.
It is important to clear your Greenhouse of snow in the winter.
Note:
You may assemble the greenhouse on its base on a hard surface and move it
to its final position when you have finished. Make sure that there are no
obstructions between the assembly area and the final position.

Wood Deck
Your Greenhouse can be secured to a wood deck with screws (not supplied) through
the frame connectors. Use screws that are 6 mm (B") in diameter and no less than
70 mm (2C") long. Make sure that the wood deck itself is securely anchored to the
ground. See hardware quantities and foundation measurements.
Excavated Trench
Your Greenhouse can be placed in an excavated trench to anchor it to the ground.
See the foundation measurements for dimensions.
Concrete Foundation
Prepare a poured concrete foundation according to local building codes. Do not
excavate and pour concrete in frozen ground. Make sure that there is a slight slope
for drainage.
Pour at least 10 cm (4") larger than the size of the greenhouse. The Greenhouse is
secured to the concrete foundation using screws and concrete anchors or expansion
anchors (not supplied). Use screws 6 mm (B") in diameter and no less than 70 mm
(2C") long. A drill with an appropriate masonry bit is required.
