Decide where the down pipe is going to be
situated and carefully but firmly push the gutter
outlet stub into the hole, ensuring a good fit.

Use a small ‘ball’ of silicon either side of vent to
secure it in final position
sealing these stop ends with a bead of silicone).
The remaining ends and holes can be filled using
the blanking grommets.
Down pipe and stopper
The downpipe is now pushed upwards on to the
outlet stub to form a tight fit. Using the pipe clip
and a self tapping screw secure the downpipe to
the greenhouse by screwing directly into the
glazing cover bar. This can be done anywhere
but suggest it is done near the bottom.
Note: The downpipe is easily cut if you wish to
collect the water in a butt for example.
Fixing the greenhouse to the ground
One final check to ensure that your new
greenhouse is now ready to be fixed to the
ground. If the greenhouse has to be repositioned
then carefully, with help, slide the greenhouse into
its correct position.
Place the ‘L’ shaped brackets, one in each corner
and then in the middle glazing bar in the sides.
Undo the nut on the greenhouse and place the
‘L’ shaped bracket over the bolt and loosely redo
the nut.
