1 .
Lay out the front pieces of the greenhouse into the shape of an end wall . The door frame and
all the Glass Bars have a track for the bolt . The track must face up when you assemble the
gable ends . Slide the bolts into the track of the bars or use the notches that have already been
punched out in the bars .
(Refer to the line/detail drawing on the following page. The order
of assembly is represented by dark lines. Detailed pictures are on page 11.)
When you are
assembling the greenhouse, you can view the sketches and drawings from the inside the
greenhouse . Bolt the bottom plates
(4 holes) to the base/sill and the door frame sides using
1/4” x 1/2” stainless steel bolts
(see Detail #5, page 11).
Before tightening the bolts, be sure
that it is square (If you ordered a greenhouse with a door drop, measure from the bottom of
the door frame to the underside of the base according to the specified distance) .
2 .
At the top of the door frame, put on the door frame header (which looks the same as the side
pieces) . Put the header between the two side pieces and bolt on the plates (6 holes) .
(See
Detail #6).
The plates should stick up 1” above the door frame . note how the plates are put
on
(See Detail #7).
Before tightening the bolts, be sure to square up the sill to the door frame .
3 .
Take all the Glass Bars and bolt them to the base/sill . The angle cut should match the roof
slope
(See Detail #8).
4 .
The 1” x 2” angle above the door (49 3/4” long) can now be bolted on . The 1/4” round
holes should be lined up with the holes in the plates . each end of the 1” x 2” angle has a slot
punched out to accommodate the bolt . This slot lines up with the bolt track in the back side
of the Glass Bars . Slide a bolt in the top of the Glass Bar and fasten the angle to it
(See Detail
#6 & 9).
5 .
Curved Glass End Bar.
each glass end bar has at least one small aluminum bracket attached
to it with two 1/4” holes drilled in it . These pieces line up with the upright Glass Bar(s) .
6 .
When the upright Glass Bars are fastened to the aluminum bracket that is attached to the
curved glass end bar, bolt on the short Glass Bar above the door to the 1” x 2” angle .
7 .
The diagonal bracing can now be bolted on . remove the bottom nut in the top plate and
insert the brace . Then put the nut back on (See Detail #4 & #9) . Bolt the other end to the 1/4”
hole in the base using a 1/4” x 1/2” bolt
(See Detail #10).
NOTE:
You may want to fasten a temporary brace across the bottom of the door frame to keep them
together. This can be a piece of wood, make sure that the opening is the same as on the top of the door
frame.
