Eden Countess Royale 56, Manual

May we congratu

late

 you on your new Greenhouse

GB

Your aluminium greenhouse is designed to give you many years of 

trouble-free service. By carefully following the steps contained in 

this manual, you will have a greenhouse of which to be proud.

Your aluminium greenhouse must be built upon a fi rm, level 

surface. The 

integral aluminium base

 is an ideal foundation

.

I

t 

is essential that the base is square and level and the greenhouse 

must be securely fastened 

down

.

Though many gardeners will have little choice of position for their 

greenhouse, the following factors should be borne in mind...

A fl at, level site is essential. Your greenhouse can then be erected 

easily, staging can be installed properly, and the whole structure 

will be stable and secure.

Locate your greenhouse where there is a minimum of shade 

- if possible avoid any shading from trees, fences or schrubs. 

Overhanging branches are particularly troublesome as raindrops 

dripping from them quickly dirty the glass, and quite small 

twigs tapping against the panes are capable of breaking them. A 

North-South facing aspect is most suitable for raising summer 

and autumn crops as it will allow the rays of the early morning 

sun to warm-up the greenhouse quickly and as the sun sets, its 

rays will still keep up the temperature until the last possible 

moment.

If you wish to produce crops and plants in the winter and early 

spring then an East-West location is probably better. In winter 

the daylight hours are very few and adequate sun (which at a low 

aspect will then shine through the south wall) is only available 

between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.

Remember too that your plants will need a great deal of water 

every day, so the site should be near to a water stand-pipe or not 

too far away from a convenient source.

Finally, try to choose a site where the soil drains freely so that you 

can enjoy pleasant working conditions underfoot!

Please read this manual thoroughly before commencing assembly.

d
