Dear Garding Friend,
thank you for buying a top quality greenhouse from HOKLARTHERM in Germany.
Please read these Assembly Instructions and helpful suggestions carefully. If you
follow them step by step you should not have any difficulty assembling your
EXTRA LARGE RIGA Greenhouse.
Good Luck!
What to do First:
Check all the boxes you have received. Make sure you have received the correct
number as shown on the Bill of Lading from the freight carrier. If you are missing a
box or if any of the boxes are damage please write this down on the Bill of Lading,
before the driver leaves.
Note:
Please do not refuse any of the boxes or the whole shipment, because of any damage. We will gladly replace any damaged items. Sending replacement parts is much
simpler, quicker and less costly for all involded.
In the case of damage:
Please, if possible, make digital pictures and contact our USA distributor ASAP:
Excaco Trading, Austin, TX: Customer Service: 877-760-8500 or by email at:
[email protected].
Placing your greenhouse:
When possible place your greenhouse in a location with as much sun as possible.
We do not recommend putting it directly under trees since branches might damage
the glazing.
Protection from heavy winds:
If your area is subject to very strong wind gusts we strongly recommend against
putting your greenhouse up without some kind of protection: a row of small trees,
large shrubs of a wooden fence. Please contact our distributor to discuss additional
anchoring options.
Direction:
If you intend to primarily grow vegetables: north-south; for flowers: east-west.
Warning:
Do not try to assemble this greenhouse in windy conditions, as your glazing panels
might blow away and become damaged. Damages during assembly process, due to
bad weather, are not covered by our warrantly.

Operation of a window opener
Assembling instructions:
1. Check, that the window of the greenhouse can open and close freely and without hindrance.
For other brands please dismantle the existing handopener in advance.
2. At first you mount the window openers with the mounting plate (4) on the window profile (5).
3. Choose mounting plate (5) when you ask the average hole and attach it to the crossbar
below window.
4. Please secure the pressure-cylinder in the threaded device at the upper end with a splint pin
in the t-coupling (upper hole).
Justification:
The window opener needed for the assembly approximately 3 to 4 hours to adapted the temperature in the greenhouse. The more you screw in the pressure-cylinder into the threaded
device, the further open the roof window. Do you want earlier/higher opening, turn the pressure-cylinder clockwise. For later/lower opening counter-clockwise. One rotation corresponds to
approximately 0,5°C. Please keep the mind that can vary the temperature in your greenhouse
and different windows opener have small tolerances.
Winter storage:
If you are not the greenhouse „frost-free“ hold, we recommend the entire window opener or just
the pressure cylinder dismantle. Please keep the window opener in a dry and frost-free place.
Before remounting in the spring particularly, check the cylinder rod and the cylinder threads are
greased. The cylinder rod please look for ease of movement.

Good advice for a quick and perfect assembly of the greenhouse from HOKLAR-THERM
Most of the assembly can be done by you alone.
It is best if you have further two persons being able to hold it for approximately half an hour when
putting the greenhouse upright.
If you want to go on mounting it alone you have to look for a secure, suitable mounting course by
means of stay bars, ladder or other fixings.
Unlike the most usual greenhouses, the mounting of the aluminium profiles is done together with
the glazing. This results into an absolutely secure glazing and the biggest possible stability of the
greenhouse.
You obtained 9 to 10 boxes depending on the greenhouse.

glazing
Please stay all the boxes in a dry place and protected against sunlight (see note below).
Please frist open und unpack only the main box with the basic construction to avoid a mixing of the
many different parts.
Assembly course gable
Start with the assembly of the greenhouse gables. Door wall gable and back wall gable are nearly
the same.
Push the profile of the vertical profile - middle - (pos. 6) left and (pos. 7) right - profile with 8 borings with a slope of 30° up to the smaller borings in the centre of the floor profile. The slopes there
have to point to the outside direction. Then detach the plastic corner connector.
Attention:
Move in both ends of the floor profile 1 each screw.
Already now you need the lateral glazing. (Measurement: 980 x 944 mm). Push it with the web
direction - vertical - into the floor profile and push laterally into the verticale profiles.
Important note:
The ISO-celluar sheets, that is the glazing, are always to build in with the UV-coated side to the
outside. On the protection foil you find a corresponding note or a blue foil. Loosen the protection
foils only at the edge and the complete rest of the foil only after the finish assembly. With some
days of isolation the foil can burn „tight“ on the plates and is to stripe off with difficulty.
Do not stripe it completely off when unpacking the goods because then you cannot see the side
with the UV-protection.
Now detach the crossbar (pos. 8) from the top of the glazing. Then the beveled glazing is to put in
the same way. Joint the vertical profiles with the t-connector (pos. 103).
21
Attention:
In advance 4 screws have to be screwed in both vertical profiles and 4 screws into the crossbar.
Push the glazing (Measurement: 980 x 944 mm) into the crossbar (pos. 8) and vertical profile (pos.
6 + 7).
Push the verticale-profile - middle - left (pos. 4) and right (pos. 5) from a page in the floor-profile up
to the glass side. The slope have to show to the outside. Then attach the corner connector (pos.
100).
Attention:
In advance 4 screws have to put in both verticale profiles.
Vertical profiles and crossbars with the t-connector 3 (pos. 103) and collected screws connect.
The crossbars (pos. 8) put on the glazing.
Attention:
In all crossbars you put in 4 screws and in the verticale profile - left and right (pos. 4 and 5) each
one screw.
Connect the straight connector plate 1 (pos. 1), the crossbars in the verticale profile - left and right
- with previously collected screws. The lower crossbar (already mounted in step 3) attached on the
verticale profiles - left and right - with the t-connector 3 (pos. 103) and bolts.
In addition, the crossbars are laterally screwed with Phillips head screw 4,2 x 50 (pos. 112) from
the inside.
Now the large, rounded glass sides merge into the floor profile. The small, rounded glazing have
to be thread into the upper crossbar and verticale profile. A 5-angular slice centered to pushing up
between the verticale profile direction crossbar.
The edge stay bar must to connected on the corner connector.
Attention:
You have to put in the vertical profiles (pos. 6 and 7) and vertical profiles - middle - left and right
(pos. 4 and 5) each 2 screws.
The edge stay bar are screwed to the connecting plates 2 (pos. 102) and 4 (pos. 104) on the vertical profiles and the vertical profiles - middle.
Note:
Hexagon bolts can be inserted later into most profiles through a special „hole“ in the channel.
Look page 14!)

Assembly of the lateral and roof segments
Now you need some more assistance or corresponding aids!
Set the gable upright, hold it or support it safely.
Attention:
You have to put in each one screw in the both sides of the floor profile.
At first the lateral floor profile are to detach on the corner connector of the gable. The roof beam is
now to introduce into the existing nuts/slots of the gable that the profile is flush in front. Now screw
together with the roof beam-end cap by means self-drilling-screws 4,2 x 13 (pos. 111).
A lateral glazing is to push into the floor profile and the edge profile. It is best, if at both sides.
Thus the gable stad safely.
The next to push in a pane of the roof glazing into the grooved profile and into the verge flashing
profile. Introduce roof stay bars into the grooved profiles and eaves profile and push up until the
glazing (thread-up glazing). The remaining pnes are to complete.
Please determine the position of the window in time!
Here put in the short pane of the roof glazing and close with the window crossbeam (pos. 25). The
connection plates (pos. 115) have to be used to screw.
Attention:
You have to put in each one screw in the both sides of the floor profile.
Push the grooved profile and roof beam into the nuts/slots of the gable profiles. Screw down as
well with the grooved with roof beam-end caps. Now a small angle (pos. 105) can be screwed with
bolts M6 x 16 with nuts to secure the floor profiles.
The stabilizing/edge angles (pos. 20/21/22) are to fix at the edge stay bars and lateral stay bars by
means of screws M6 x 16 and plain washers. These have a stabilihing effect and give a protection
of the greenhouse against stormy weather. All the same time these angles are the back wall profiles for the tables and shelves (see separate mounting instruction).
Now the skeletal structure is finished - topping-out ceremony is the order of the day!
Please open now the accessories box. Here you find:
2 pc. roof window by type IV incl. automatic window opener
4 pc. roof window by type V/VI incl. automatic window opener
2 pc. divided revolving door
These parts are to mount according to the instructions.
The roof window is to push from the lateral into the roof beam. This system is generally very simple and explains itself.

Question: Is it necessary to „seal“ the greenhouse or greenhouse glazing respectively?
Principally: not.
However, we recommend to seal the horizontal transitions from the glazing to the profile (see
sketch - broken lines ---) with neutrally linking, transparent silicon in order to have the most possible small amount of water and thus little dirt in the glazing reception.
Advantage: In the long term the greenhouse has a better appearance The tendency to the algae
formation just in this area decreases tremendously.
Humidity/water can also appear within the glazing/celluar sheets according to the weather situation because te PVC-sheets are not „steam-diffusion-tight“, that means that humidity in the form of
steam penetrates into the sheet. This is a purely optical disadvantage which cannot be avoided.
The sheets cannot suffer any damage, even not with frosty days.
Attention:
Use ony „neutrally linking“ sllicon due to possible stress cracks in the PVC-glazing. This is most
common silicon sealent being available with any DIY superstore or with your HOKLAR-THERM
- expert dealer priced at 4 - 6 €/310 mm cartridge.
Cleansing and maintenance:
Clean the greenhouse with much water only (for ex.: with a car wash-brush or a HP-cleaning apparatus. You can additionally use any purifiers.
We wish alle the buyers and users of this HOKLAR-THERM - greenhouse much fun with their hobby of gardening and have much success with growth!
