INFORMATION FOR MOUNTING
DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF THIS PRODUCT
Congratulations on your purchase of a new JANSSENS
greenhouse! A greenhouse aims to cultivate seedlings, vegetables,
flowers, etc. in soil or containers, only accessible to a qualified
person. The product largely protects these crops from rain and
wind and provides a warmer climate behind glass.
A greenhouse is not intended to be a living space or meeting
place for people. For this purpose, we recommend other
products. Small leaks, water leaks, drafts, and condensation are
possible and unavoidable. All items stored or used in the
greenhouse, including chairs or tables, must be able to withstand
external conditions in terms of heat, cold, and humidity.
PREPARING THE CONSTRUCTION SITE
A prepared construction site is an absolute requirement for the
smooth assembly of your greenhouse!
• The ground must be stable, firm, level and free of all obstacles.
• A space of about 80 cm is required around the greenhouse for
the placement of ladders and doing the glazing.
• When installing AGAINST a wall, this wall must be stable, level,
and square.
• All materials for anchoring the greenhouse to a wall, on a wall,
or to the foundation (such as plugs, wedge bolts, chemical
anchors, etc.) are NOT provided in the kit because their use
varies by region, construction site, and contractor.
• Leftover packaging, plastic, cardboard, as well as the wood of
the glass pallet are not taken back.
• The greenhouse should be built in a place sheltered from wind
or heavy storms.
• Always observe the locally applicable building regulations.
FOUNDATION
The greenhouse must be placed on a sufficiently load-bearing
(concrete) foundation that is provided up to a solid frost-free
ground.
The dimensions of our aluminum structures always concern the
outer dimensions of the structure.
We recommend a concrete foundation as a ring beam on the
outer dimensions of the greenhouse. It must be 100% level and
flat so that the lower profile can be mounted on it without the
need of much additional levelling.
In some cases (small rectangular greenhouses), it is also possible
to anchor only the 4 corners of the greenhouse, in which case the
option of a lowered threshold at the doors is NOT possible
anymore! Get detailed advice on the foundation from your
professional. The anchoring as well as the regular checking of the
condition must always be provided by the owner or operator.
STORAGE OF THE GOODS
• The delivery must be stored in a dry place, protected from
direct sunlight and any form of moisture.
• Excessive humidity or condensation in the packaging can
quickly lead to corrosion on profiles and/or glass in the form of
white deposits, spots, etc.!
• The glass box is very heavy and fragile, handle it with care and
always place it on a horizontal surface.
• Look at the safety-instructions on the yellow sticker on the glass
box before opening the glass box.
REQUIRED TOOLS
• Wrench and screwdriver Nr. 10
• Crosshead screwdriver
• Spirit level
• Dril land drill bit Ø4.2
• Metal saw
• Silicone gun
• Ladder and/or scaffolding stelling
During assembly, suitable protective clothing must be worn at
•
all times (e.g. safety shoes, safety gloves, etc.).

REMARKS
This manual is prepared for all standard constructions (Action
Models) and is also applicable as a guide for other models where
we recommend assembly by a skilled team. We reserve the right to
make construction changes.
IMPORTANT!
Always read the entire manual before starting!
• Only assemble in dry and windless weather and keep children
away from the construction site.
• When unpacking the profiles, do not use sharp or pointed
objects to avoid damaging the paintwork.
• Always comply with local building regulations, which are the
responsibility of the buyer/owner.
• Insurance: it is advisable to inform your insurance company
about the installation of your greenhouse.
• During heavy snowfall, the greenhouse roof must be cleared OR
sufficiently supported OR the greenhouse must be heated to
maintain a temperature of 12°C.
• During a storm, all open parts should be closed (roof windows,
doors, side windows, etc.).
• The black rubber strips are treated with oil on the inside, which
facilitates quick and easy assembly.
• Black stains on the blank aluminum profiles? These can be
removed with an aluminum cleaning agent. This is not a
production defect.
• It is recommended to clean your greenhouse twice a year, check
the gutters, check moving parts and oil if necessary, and clear
the door's bottom rail of sand or gravel.
Our constructions are delivered as building kits. For all custom
greenhouses (custom models) and larger buildings (Arcadia, Gigant,
Modern, Kathedral, etc.), we recommend assembly by a skilled,
professional installer who got trained for these products. If you lack the
necessary expertise, do not hesitate to seek the help of a professional
installer.
Warranty terms are limited to the re-delivery of parts, with exclusion of
all liability.
