The first step in assembly is to assemble a proper base. The greenhouse must •
be properly supported to help prevent property damage and injury in the event of
strong winds or inclement weather. Wind and ground conditions may vary from
site to site, and may affect the practicality and effectiveness of anchoring methods
substantially.
Be certain to check with local authorities to obtain all required building permits
•
and to familiarize yourself with any building codes that may apply.
Decide on a location for the greenhouse. The location should be a level, well-lit
•
area that is sheltered from the wind. The door of the greenhouse should not open
towards the prevailing wind, if possible.
Excavate an area for the base of the greenhouse. The area must be 8’ 2” wide by 1.

” deep. The floor of the hole must be level and square.
The diagonal dimensions, from corner to corner, should each be 13’.
Assemble the Base outside the hole as shown below. Note that the angled edges of 2.
the Base Plates (40, 41a, 41b) need to face the corners of the base. Use Base Bolts
(45), Base Nuts (46), and Connectors (42, 43) to secure the pieces together.
