Glazing the Sidewalls
The standard sidewalls are equipped with clear glass. At the top, the glass fits in the slot provided to that end and at
the bottom rests on the foundation between the same profiles as in the roof. At the top, the rubber is slit against the
gutter and at the bottom it is cut off halfway the foundation. Repeat for the second sidewall.
Glazing the Façades
The standard façades are equipped with clear glass. 2 pieces of glass are placed on top of one another with a glass
strip, putting the smallest side at the outside. Put the rubbers in place as soon as possible!!! For each glass pane!!!
Do so for both façades. Do not put rubber around the door position.
Door
Open the iron work bag. The numbers of the detailed views indicate the assembly order. Tighten the assembly
definitively.
The wheels on top of the door do not have a washer; at the bottom, the wheels have a washer, as indicated on the
detailed views. The wheels are tightened by screwing them at 5cm from the side.
Silicone is used on both assembly profiles. Here, the silicone serves as sealer, avoiding that the profiles can slide.
Slide the door on both assembly profiles. Then place the glass in the door and put the rubbers in place.
Install the handle on the inside panel of the door, halfway the vertical door profile. The handle also serves as door
stop.
Cross Beam
Open the roof window iron work bag. The numbers of the detailed views indicate the assembly order. Tighten the
assembly definitively.
Install the elongated plates with the bulge in the bolt slot of the crossbeam.
Roof Window
The numbers of the detailed views indicate the assembly order. Put the rubbers of the profiles in place after
installation of the glass.
Install the glass on top of the sidewall and slide it upward between the roof profiles until it does not rest on the
sidewall anymore. Pull the glass downward in the provided slot. Press the crossbeam until it closely fits the
underlying glass and assemble it definitively with the special assembly bolts. Put the rubbers in place on the two
roof profiles, in the same way as you did for the rest of the roof. Also put the rubber on the crossbeam, cut off the
rubber diagonally so that it closely fits.
Press a piece of rubber in the round hole of the ridge to avoid the roof window from sliding.
To open the roof window, slide the round bar on the curl in the roof window and on the bolt in the crossbeam. If the
roof window is not open, the round bar is put on the support.
Water Drainage
Install all parts with silicone to seal and to lock.
Anchors
Put the greenhouse level again accounting for the desired slope (stimulate water drainage). Support the entire
greenhouse with ground until it is completely closed. For the anchors, dig a hole at the inside of the greenhouse, in
each of the corners. Install the anchors with the stop bolts and fill the holes with concrete.
Window-Raiser
Make sure that the hole in the cylinder axis corresponds to the first hole in the tube.
Push the smallest pin with its straight rod through the holes. Make sure that the pin sticks through the tube.
Turn the cylinder completely in the round nut.
First disassemble the roof window; then, disassemble the crossbeam.
Slide 2 stop bolts in the bolt slot of the crossbeam.
Reinstall the crossbeam. Make sure that the crossbeam is pressed completely against the glass. Then reinstall the
rubber on the crossbeam and have it fit closely to the side that is cut off diagonally.
The numbers of the detailed views indicate the assembly order. Tighten the assembly definitively.
Install the base plate firmly on the crossbeam with the two pre-mounted bolts.
Reinstall the roof window in its place and centre it.
Clamp the window-raiser base plate on the roof window tongue, using 2 bolts and a stainless steel plate.
Turning the cylinder determines the opening distance of the roof window at a specific temperature.
Additional Advice and Tips
- Insurance: it is recommended to inform your insurance broker on the installation of your greenhouse.
- Regularly check
o whether all bolts are still tightened
o whether the anchors (concrete and anchors) are still intact
o the position of the roof window
- Extra checks in times of bad weather
o Make sure that the window-raiser is locked in the hole and firmly clamps the roof window.
o Make sure that the door is firmly closed; if possible, lock it.
o Make sure there are no air splits under the foundation.
o During winter, remove snow from the greenhouse (weight).
- General rule: Make sure that the wind cannot enter your greenhouse.
- Tips for a good functioning of your greenhouse
o Regularly clean the gutters
o Regularly clean the condensation water gutters
o Clean the door threshold profile for smooth functioning of the door o Regularly oil the wheels of the door for a
smooth functioning
o Clean the glass
- Automatic window-raiser: during the winter period, remove the cylinder, oil it and store it in a warm place. You
can always use the manual window-raiser. Do not use the automatic window-raiser and the manual window-raiser
together.
