Important! The base must be level. A zinc-

coated steel base is available as an accessory 

for all greenhouse models.  
(

Attention!

 Only when the greenhouse has to 

be located in a very windy and unprotected 

location: 

Drill through both the profile at the 

base of the greenhouse and the steel base, 

and connect them with nuts and bolts.)
If you would rather construct your own stone 

or concrete foundation, please follow the 

dimensions specified in diagram 0. 

Treated wooden beams at least 18mm high 

and not more then 32mm wide should be posi-

tioned between the stone/concrete foundation 

and the aluminium frame(A-A). On the side 

where the door will be located use a treated 

wooden beam not more then 52mm wide 

(B-B). Connect the wooden beams to the foun-

dation with 50mm long bolts (not provided). 

Foundations must extend down below the frost 

level.

Diagrams in a single frame show the view 

from inside the greenhouse. those enclo-

sed in a double frame show the view from 

outside the greenhouse.
