Gardman Alum Greenhouse - Manual (Page 5)

Before you start:
IMPORTANT: Read the instructions completely before starting assembly.
• Construct the base first so that the greenhouse can be securely mounted when completed.
• Find someone to help you: it is much easier with someone to hold parts, pass tools etc. This is not very heavy
work so would suit most able-bodied people.
• Allow plenty of time: rushing often causes errors and the re-doing of incorrect assemblies. If you have never built a
greenhouse before, it can take most of a day to carefully complete the construction.
• Have the right tools to hand:
•Cross head and flat head screwdrivers: electric ones save some elbow grease!
•10mm Spanner: a ratchet socket set is ideal or, even better, a 10mm socket that fits an electric drill or screwdriver.
•Safety clothing as recommended in the ‘Safety’ section.
• Lay out the parts by greenhouse section, ideally around the base as shown, and check that all are present before
commencing construction. Lay on cloths or plastic sheets if there is any risk of scratching the parts.
• Follow the construction sequence.

• All illustrations are based on viewing the parts from the inside of the greenhouse, except where stated.
• Assemble the greenhouse loosely where possible and tighten when all in place so that minor adjustments can be
made. Note that some nuts will need to be tightened to keep them in place.
• Tighten all nuts carefully, being sure not to miss any. Check the frame is square and using a spirit level to check
that it is upright.
