Dear Pioneer,
Congratulations on the purchase of your greenhouse. Thanks to this manual, no technical foreknowledge is required
for assembling the greenhouse. Reading through the manual step by step will allow you to prepare all necessary
parts and acts for the assembly of your greenhouse.
Safety and Efficiency
Glass is heavy, sharp -edged and fragile. A ladder is high and unstable. Aluminium profiles are sometimes long and
sharp-edged. So, be careful when you are not familiar with handling these materials. Therefore, it is better to keep
children away during the assembly. Safety shoes, safety glasses and safety gloves may therefore be very useful and
are essential when assembling glass.
Tools:
- 2x 10mm screw-wrenches
- Spirit level
- Knife or solid scissors
- Shovel
- Star screwdriver (large type)
- Rope or measuring rod min. 7 meters
- Flat screw-driver (large type)
- Ladder (self-standing)
- Cutting pliers
- Wire stripper
- Hammer
- Heat gun (or hair dryer)
Tools available in all D.I.Y.-shops:
- Colourless neutral silicone kit
- Quick-drying concrete to solidly anchor your greenhouse
- Non-chemical lubricant
- PVC glue (food grade)
Petty Facts
- Bolt slots are slots in which fits a bolt head. Nearly all profiles in this greenhouse have 1 or more bolt slots.
- In the event of bolt slot connections, always make sure that the profiles are closely pressed to one another.
- Stop bolts are bolts that we slide in a slot in preparation of further assembly; these bolts are temporarily retained
by nuts at some 10cm of the profile end.
- A greenhouse consists of 2 façades (front and back), 2 sidewalls and a roof.
- Except when explicitly mentioned otherwise, short bolts (M6X10) are used.
Advice
Always use ALL detailed views as aid to align, line up and position your profile. Pay attention to section and
perforations.
When fixing the nuts on the bolts, only make 2 turns; only definitively tighten the bolts and nuts after having gone
through the entire page.
Façade
Assemble the ridge plate with the bulges pointing downward, in the bolt slots.
ATTENTION: The corner profile roof has a little hole (Ø3); that profile must be assembled so that this little hole is
situated at the side of the ridge .
You assemble 2 façades.
Stop Bolts
During the entire assembly !10! stop bolts are placed!!!
Sidewall + stop bolts
During the entire assembly !2! stop bolts are placed, for greenhouses with 7& 8 windows, there are !3! stop bolts
provided.
You assemble 2 sidewalls.
Assembly
You now have 2 façades and 2 sidewalls.
Slide the panels one into the other until the end, the stop bolts are immediately tightened firmly and definitively.
Roof
- First install the ridge (profile C) on top of the 2 façades and fix it definitively with the stop bolts.
- Greenhouses that are 7 & 8 windows long are provided with 2 glass rods (profile A) of each 2 stop bolts.
- Place the glass rods (profiles A) between the sidewall and the ridge you just put in place (profile C) .
- Assemble the traction strips (profiles B) to the ridge (profile C) in the corner and subsequently together with the
glass rod (profile A) at the sidewall.
ATTENTION1: the traction strips start from the façade in the ridge and go down to the gutter. (See detail pag drawing
«ROOF»)
Façade Supports
The two façade supports are assembled between the façade and the ridge.
Supports
Remove 2 glass rods from the sidewall having the same section as the glass rods of the roof in which the stop bolts
are inserted. Place two stop bolts per profile. Reinstall the glass rods, but use an M6x16 bolt at the bottom. Install
two gutter supports between the sidewall and the roof with the stop bolts provided.
Also install a support in the ridge of the roof using the stop bolts provided.
Preparation of the Glass
Put the construction in its definitive place; upon installation of the glass the construction will be too heavy to move it
easily. For a smooth installation of the glass, we put the construction square and level.
Square by measuring from one corner to the other in both directions and by making both equal.
Level by bringing the 4 corners of the construction at the same level.
Glazing
Please work carefully and take all possible precautions for your safety and the safety of the other workers!
Façade:
-Clear glass is used as standard in the façades.
ATTENTION : First put in both façades the 2 triangle windows in place under the ridge.
-Attach rubber as fast as possible!!! For each of the windows!!!
-Do this for both façades.
It is not important with which rubber roll you start. Do not cut the rubber to lenght on beforehand.
Roof:
- The standard roof is equipped with matt glass; with the smooth side facing to the exterior of the greenhouse.
- Choose the position of the roof window; do not place these next to a façade.
- For the moment, do not place glass or rubber on this place where the roof windows will be installed.
- If several roof windows are provided: It is not possible to install 2 roof windows next to one another.
- Put the glass on top of the sidewall and slide it between the roof profiles in the upward direction, until it does not
rest on the sidewall anymore.
- Pull the glass downward again in the provided slot. Leave a space where the roof window will be placed later on.
- After having placed all the roof window-panes, put the rubbers in place. The rubber is pressed on all roof profiles
and on the top side of the façade to fasten the glass. Do not put rubbers on the profiles next to the roof window, as
yet.
- The roof window opening is a place where you can easily press the rubbers on the roof.
- A handy roller and pressure movement make pressing easier.
- At the top, the rubber is slit in the ridge and at the bottom, it is cut off above the gutter, somewhat lower than the
bottom side of the glass.
