Section 9
If you have chosen the 6mm twin walled polycarbonate method, refer to
your instruction manual for the desired sheet of poly.
NOTE: You may find it easier to start by glazing the roof first.
Start by placing the poly sill cover (L1) over the integral base lip at the
bottom of the bay with the channel facing towards you. Then fit another poly
sill cover (L1) on the lip on the underside of the gutter.
With the sheet of poly at roughly a 45 degree angle, place in the integral base
channel of the poly sill cover (L1) then bend the sheet slightly to fit into the
channel of the poly sill cover (L1) on the underside of the gutter.
The Eden polycarbonate capping is designed to be very robust and resistant
against wind and water but as a
consequence it is hard to fit. We recommend
spraying soapy water down either side of the
sheet to lubricate, then centre the sheet of poly
within the bay. Start by capping both
sides at the same time, beginning at the top.
Put roughly 50mm in on either side. You
should be able to hear a click if done correctly.
Once this has been done, carry on capping
both sides all the way down the length of the pane you should be able to
hear the click as you go as shown right. Some of the C2 capping requires
cutting for the roof vent bays only.
To glaze the roof, the same applies as the sides but the poly sill cover (L1) is
fitted over the top lip of the gutter, and the 6mm aluminium U Channel (L2)
is used at the top of the sheet which simply slides on.
The vents use the 6mm aluminium U Channel (L2) for both top and bottom.
If for any reason the polycarbonate does not seem square within the bays,
please refer to the adjustment section on the right.

If for any reason the glazing method does not sit squarely within the bays
of the greenhouse, it means the structure is not square.
To rectify this on the sides, simply loosen the side braces (4) with the
square headed bolts and nuts (50, 51) as shown by (A), then push the
greenhouse at eaves level as shown by (B) either way until the glazing
method sits squarely within the bay. Then tighten the side braces (4) back
up with the square headed bolts and nuts (50, 51) as shown by (A).
If for some reason the glazing method does not sit squarely within the
bays of the gable, it means the gable(s) are not square. To rectify this
please refer to the dimensions given in section 1 and 2 in this handbook.
Following these dimensions will straighten up the gable(s) to what they
should be.
