Glass & Cap Installation
GENERAL INFORMATION
Important points to consider:
• Square up (or adjust) the frame to fit the glass. If the foundation is
square and level, the greenhouse will automatically be square
when all the glass is in. Don’t try to square up the whole
greenhouse before you do the glass. Just do one side at a time.
• Always work one row across at a time.
• Don’t over tighten screws
(“finger tight” plus a quarter turn is
sufficient).
• Position glass in between the inside edges of the bars
.
Glass comes packaged in cardboard cases. When storing glass, put it
upright against a wall or post. All glass is a 3mm / 24 oz. thickness
(unless it is a special order).
When handling glass, put one hand on the
bottom and one hand on the side. Do not hold the glass flat on your
hands. When laying out the glass for your greenhouse, do not lay the
glass on your lawn while the sun is shining because the glass may/will
burn the grass.

greenhouse is not square, push the gutter over to square it. If it is a warm day, the foam will
stick to the glass and you can walk away and get your aluminum cap. The cap
