Location
Choose, if possible, a sunny place for your greenhouse. Avoid the shadows of buildings and trees. For vegetables, like tomatoes, cucumbers and melons, position your greenhouse the most north-south as possible. For flowers and potted plant , position in the east-west-direction.
Warning:
The greenhouse should preferably be built in a sheltered spot and not during stormy weather. It is dangerous to leave a partly assembled house!
If assembled correctly this greenhouse resists strong winds. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for any damage by improper installation or acts of nature.
The construction of the greenhouse must be conducted by at least two people.
Work with secure, craft-oriented tools. Be careful when assembling and make sure your ladder is secure.
In principle work only with gloves (risk of injury, average risk!).
2
For the configuration you need the following tools:
pc. Phillips screwdriver size 2
pc. 10mm Wrench
pc. 3mm allen key (included in the accessoires bag of the roof window)
pc. level
pc. stepladder
1 pc. file to remove any burrs on the profil
pc. rubber hammer
pc. tape measure
You should be careful:
Wedge seals (V23)
Pull them apart at the center.
If forgotten, hexagonal screws can also be inserted later in the plastic slider!
The plastic slider is located in the bottom of the door frame, side and roof bars.
Push the seal 3 - 5 mm between the soil profile and the glazing
Both inside the greenhouse!
Important: Compress the seals when you install them as they contract in cold weather

!!!Note: Important information for glazing!!!
When installing the polycarbonate glazing make sure the UV coated side faces out.
Loosen the edges of the protective film for installation. After the assembly is complete pull it off immediately. Do not leave the film on for any period of time in the sunlight.
Several days of sunlight can burn the film firmly on th e glazing.
Do not
pull the film off right out of the box, otherwise you cannot tell which side has the
UV protection!
Suggestion : If you plan on disassembling and moving you should mark the UV side of each panel before installation. A small circle in a lower corner with a permanent marker will work well.
Question: Does the greenhouse glazing need to be completely sealed?
In principle: No .
We recommend that you seal the horizontal transitions where the glazing meets the aluminum profiles with a neutral cure transparent silicone. (Shown in the diagram below by dashed lines.) This will prevent water and dirt from entering the glazing slots.
Advantage: The greenhouse stays looking new as the seal prevents the formation of algae and buildup of dirt/dust inside the glazing.
During some weather conditions condensation can occur within the hollow chambers of the glazing. This is because the glazing chambers are not air tight. The condensation is purely aesthetic and cannot be avoided.
The condensation/water vapor will not damage the glazing, even at freezing temperatures.
Warning: Use only neutral cure silicone, otherwise it may lead to stress cracks in plastic glazing. This is the most common silicone sealant.
Neutral cure silicone is available in most hardware stores. We recommend Boss 399.
You can purchased Boss 399 directly from us, just call 1-877-760-8500.
Cleaning and care:
To wash the greenhouse use plenty of water, a car wash brush and a little detergent.

Foundation frame (optional)
!!!Warning: Use only according to instructions. See below!!!
This is the easiest and the safest foundation for a greenhouse.
ATTENTION! When using a foundation frame attach it to the soil profile before these steps (see pages 5, 6)
The foundation frame hooks into the soil profile and the corners are bolted together with a corner angle (V26). (See page 6). Use the supplied self taping screws to firmly attach the soil profile to the foundation frame.
Setting up the foundation frame
Dig a small ditch 4-5 inches deep in the dimensions of the foundation frame.
Use paving stones or gravel under the horizontal sections as much as possible to prevent the potential for the greenhouse to sag. Fill in the rest of the ditch with earth.
It is also very practical to install tile or stone flooring, this prevents the mud from splashing on the greenhouse during heavy rain.
In addition it makes work easier around the greenhouse, such as mowing the lawn.

Assembly foundation frame
Note: The foundation frame profiles are shorter than soil profiles
Rotate the foundation frame profile into the soil profile. Make sure it is centered in the soil profile.
N ote: The foundation frame profiles are shorter than soil profiles
To stabilize the greenhouse, use the mounting bracket (V27) with bolts M6 x 2 (S2)
Bolt the (V27) to the foundation frame and the side curves or door frames.
Use the supplied self tapping screws to firmly attach the soil profile to the foundation frame.
In the foundation frame corners use two M6 x
2 bolts (S2) and one corner bracket (V26)
Fasten them with two M6 nuts (S).

T-seal (V25) is for all doors and windows (total: 5 meters /49 feet)
Attention! The T-seal (V25) is only inserted on three sides of the roof window. The top side slides into the roof beam so no seal is required.
In the door threshold, the hose section
(V14) is pressed into the soil profile.
This prevents dirt from getting into the soil profile.
Attention! In the lower door press the seal into the profile first then install the rectangular tube.

Auto Opener Installation
1.
Check whether the greenhouse window can open and close freely and unhindered.
2.
Install the window opener with the mounting plate (4) in the center of the lower roof window profile (pos 4.2)
3.
Secure the cylinder by lining up the hole in the piston with the upper hole in the Tcoupling, then insert the cotter pin.
4.
Install the mounting plate (5) in the center of the cross bar(pos 3.2) using the middle hole in the mounting plate(5)
5.
Attach the opener frame (1) to the mounting plate (5). Open the roof window until the threads of the piston (2) engage the threads of the opener frame (1). Thread the piston (2) half way into the threads in the opener frame (1).
Adjustment:
Let the opener acclimate to the greenhouse for 3-4 hours before you make adjustments.
For earlier engagement and a larger opening, turn the cylinder clockwise.
For a delayed engagement and a smaller opening turn the cylinder counter clockwise. Make sure you don’t back it out too far.
For opening engagement advance/delay one full turn is about 1 degree Fahrenheit.
Please keep in mind that greenhouse temperatures can vary and windows can have different opening tolerances.
Winter-storage:
If the greenhouse interior does not stay above freezing we recommend you remove the cylinder from the window opener or remove the entire opener. Please store it in a dry frost-free place for the winter.
Required Maintenance:
Around springtime every year, check to make sure the piston shaft and cylinder threads are greased.
Also check the piston shaft for ease of movement. A dab of marine grease on the piston shaft and the cylinder threads will be sufficient. Failure to do so could render your opener inoperable.

Assembly procedure - eaves -
ATTENTION! When using a foundation frame attach it to the soil profile before these steps (see pages 5, 6) step 8 to step 8:
Note: If you have purchased a foundation frame attach it to the soil profiles before you attempt this step.
First attach the soil profiles(pos 2.1) to the end gables with the preinstalled corner connectors(V9).
Next screw the corner bracket (V12) to the gable end soil profile and the side soil profile. This will secure the gable end to the side wall.
corner bracket (V 2) screwed with self-tapping screw pan head
4,2 x 3 (S9).
step 9 ridge profile (pos. 3.3) at the gable and end plate (V ) screw with self-tapping screw pan head 4,2 x 3 (S9) soil profile (pos. 2.1) slide to corner bracket step 0
Support end or hold it up ridge profil (pos. 3.3
insert the side glazing and slide into the edge curve to step 9:
Some assistance will be needed for the following steps.
We recommend you have someone stand on a ladder and hold one end of the ridge profile while you proceed with the rest of the assembly. You could also construct a support to hold it in place.
Slide the unsupported end of the ridge profile into the grooves/slots in the top of the gable end. The top portion of the ridge profile should be flush with the outside of the gable end. Now attach the end plate(V11) with pan head screws 4.2 x 13 (S9) to step 0:
Insert the glazing in the ridge beam and the soil profile. Then slide it into the Edge
Curve.
Tip:
Peel back the protective film on the glazing only around the edges. This will prevent the panels from getting scratched.
It is also a good idea to attach a stabilization angle (pos 3.4) to each of the side curves as you go along. This will help hold everything together.

Assembly procedure - eaves -
ATTENTION!
When using a foundation frame assemble in advance on this soil profile (see pag s 5,
6) step to step : shown enlarged side curve (pos. 2.3)
Tip:
A light grease on the plastic sliders may help movement.
First place a side curve up against the edge curve installed on the gable end. You want to match curvature of the edge curve with the side curve. This will ensure that the side curve is installed in the correct direction.
Slide the side curve (pos 2.3) into the ridge profile and into the soil profile. Work it down until it is flush with the glazing then work the glazing into it.
If necessary you can use a rubber mallet on the side curve to move it down. Be careful not to damage the aluminum.
step 2 to step 2:
Continue inserting the side glazing and side curves.
step 3
The connecting plate (V4) is attached from the inside with screw hex M6 x 16 and nut M6. This secures the window crossbar to the greenhouse.
to step 3:
Insert the remaining glazing panels and side curves.
