Instructions for erecting greenhouse
I have bought a second hand greenhouse. I think it is an Eden brand. It is
12x8. Does anyone have any assembly instructions to save time doing the jigsaw method. Very grateful for any help received Pete |

Instructions for erecting greenhouse
No instructions but if you're starting from scratch, rememeber that a
greenhouse is pretty symmetrical and typically built with 2 foot wide windows. This helps a little when it comes to sorting out all the bits into "first guess" locations. When you get to adding the glass, you will either have S shaped plastic or little metal clips. You will probably have similar clips for both side and roof panels. The roof panels typically take clips that are "cut off" (ASCII art below - show fixed font) unlike the side panels. | Top glass lies here on top of... +---+ Lower | ----+ Note the "not quite an S" used on the roof. Upper glass lies OUTSIDE of... | V | +---+ | | | +---+ | ^ | Inner glass Note the "complete S" used on the sides So, bottom glass panels go on first and glass nearest the gutters goes on first on the roof. I also found that not tightening the bolts fully helps since as you fit the glass you may need to flex the building to get it completely square to get the glass to fit. Finally a warning that despite the weight of glass, an aluminium greenhouse can blow away - yes honestly! Mine moved about 6 inches from its concrete base and I'm in a reasonably sheltered garden. Bolt yours down and get the bolt holes drilled and aligned as almost the first thing you do. Adding these after construction is a expletive deleted! Good luck! Paul DS. |
