Safety Warning



Glass and aluminium can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when 
assembling and glazing the building. 



Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and dispose of any breakages immediately. 



Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds. 



For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a minimum of two people.  



Please clear all lying snow from the greenhouse roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or collapse. 

Site Preparation



When selecting a site for your greenhouse, it is vital that you choose as flat and level an area as possible.  



A concrete or slabbed base will provide the most solid foundation for your greenhouse.   



IMPORTANT: Do 

not

 fix your building down until the building is fully assembled, including glazing.   



Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations. 



To minimise the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedgerow or garden fence. 

Additional Considerations



Please bear in mind that assembling your greenhouse can be time consuming. You may need to spread the construction over two or more 
days. We recommend that you avoid leaving the building partially glazed.  If you ever have to leave your greenhouse half assembled and not 
anchored down, weigh it down with slabs or bags of sand to stop the wind moving it. 



You will find it helpful to prepare a large, clean and clear area in which to work in. A garage floor or flat lawn area is ideal. 



If you have arranged for someone to install your greenhouse for you, please check that all components are included. Most parts are numbered 
and can be identified by a stamped number (without the ’SY’, ‘HE’, ‘CL’) or removable label. Alterna-
tively, the components can be identified by lengths detailed in the packing list (see diagram below). 
Please also note that 

NOT

 all parts for a specific area will be packed together, i.e. door related com-

ponents are packed together and some are used in main frame construction.   



Anchoring down your greenhouse should be the final stage of construction (including glazing).  



Once installed your greenhouse requires little maintenance, but to maintain the smooth running of 
your door(s) WD40 or similar can be applied to the door wheels and lower door guides.  

Guarantee



Your new Castle greenhouse is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture of the frame-
work. This does not include glazing, moving parts, accidental damage or wind damage.
