PLAN AHEAD
It requires two people a full
*
day to complete installation.
Site Selection
Avoid overhanging trees as much as possible as leaves will make regular cleaning necessary
and broken branches are a potential hazard.
Small trees, bushes or fences nearby can be helpful, acting as a wind break.
Site Preparation
The site must be prepared so that the base of the shed is level all round and checking with
a spirit level is required.
The base can be constructed by treated timber or concrete, in order to stop the moisture
getting into the shed. The shed is not designed to be built onto lawn directly. Also the
ground will get muddy during rainy days.
If a concrete pad is made, it is important that this slopes towards the edges to prevent
water ingress.Time must be allowed for any concrete or cement to dry before building
the shed on top.
Bases can also be constructed from bricks, blocks, or mounted on a concrete pad.
The bricks or blocks should be cemented onto firm and level concrete footings and the
greenhouse frame drilled and screwed to the base.
IMPORTANT NOTES
Find someone to help you: it is much easier with someone to hold parts, pass tools ect. Also
some steps require two people to lift structures together. This is not very heavy work so would
suit most able-bodied people.
Allow plenty of time: rushing often causes errors and the re-doing of incorrect assemblies. If you
have never built a shed before, it can take most of a day to carefully complete the construction.
Have the right tools to hand.
Safety clothing as recommended in the 'Tools' section.
Ideally lat out the parts and check that all are present before commencing construction. Lay on
cloths or plastic sheets if there is any risk of scratching the parts.
Tighten all nuts carefully, being sure not to miss any. Check the frame is square and using a spirit
level to check that it is upright.
Watch the weather
Please be sure the day you select for installation is dry and
calm. DO NOT attempt to assemble your shed in windy
weatherbecause of risk of damage to panels, or personal
injury. Be careful of wet or muddy ground.
Teamwork
Whenever possible, two or more people should work
together to assemble the building. One person can position
parts or panelswhile the other is able to handle the fasteners
and the tools.
It requires two people a full day to complete installation.
