Dear Customer,

Please read ALL these instructions before assembly.

The assembly of your new Essential greenhouse requires no

technical knowledge. However it is important that the

assembly instructions are followed carefully.

All fixings are found in bags 2 to 10.

Extra fixings may be included in your kit.

Fix casement stays or auto vents with screw type SC004 and

using the pre fitted side vent as a guide.

Greenhouse Base Notes

Your greenhouse must be fixed onto a suitable base.

The base is not included however an optional steel base can

be purchased separately.

The following options are available:

 Steel Base Coloured Black can be Purchased Separately

 Concrete Plinth

The measurements must match that of the base plan. A

suitable foundation on which to construct the base must be

laid depending on local ground conditions. Ensure the base is

square and level and diagonal measurements are equal.

Fixing Greenhouse to Base

Check that the structure is square, ensuring dimensions

across diagonals are even, before securing to the base.

Steel Base (refer to step 5)

Position a fixing bracket on the inside of the steel base and

using screw type SC125 fix through the bracket and into the

greenhouse cill.

Position and fix all the brackets supplied evenly around the

structure’s base.

Constructed Base (refer to step 14)

When fixing the structure down to a concrete plinth the

fixings for the base should be positioned proportionally

around the structure’s timber cill.

Use a 9mm HSS drill bit to drill through the timber cill. Drill

into the concrete plinth using an 8 x 150mm masonry drill to

a depth of 110mm from the top.

Tools Required for Assembly

 PZ2 Screwdriver

 Electric Screwdriver (Optional)

 Drill

 8 x 150mm Masonry Drill Bit

 7mm and 9mm HSS Bit

 A Clamp When Fixing Sections Together

(Recommended)

 Spirit Level

 Tape Measure

Assembling Gables and Side Walls

IMPORTANT: When building the gables and side walls,

ensure the back of the components are always flush. This

is to ensure when glazing the glass fits without any

problems.

Roof Vent

Fix casement stays or autovents with screw type SC004 and

using the pre fitted side vent as a guide.

Glazing Notes (Refer to Step 15)

Prior to glazing, remove the pre fitted cappings on the sides

and ends, noting their positions.

We recommend 2 people for glazing the structure.

Safety goggles and gloves are required when handling glass.

Low Threshold (refer to step 29)

If you choose to fit this, a clear mastic sealant can be applied

along its length at ground level. Also anti-slip tape (PT705) is

supplied and can be applied along its length.

Caring for Your Greenhouse

 Clean the gutter for leaves, etc.

 Remove greater snow loads from roof.

 Take precautions against snow falling down from for

instance a tree or a roof.

 Secure door and windows preventing wind damage.

Cedar Wood Information

Cedar is prone to absorption of moisture to attain balance

with the surrounding atmosphere.

As a result this moisture can track to the inside of the

greenhouse particularly in the areas that are subject to the

greatest weathering. Because of the fibre structure of the

cedar it will also dry very quickly which often will leave a mark

where the extractives have been released. These extractives

are the oils naturally present in the cedar that make it

resistant to rot.

As the wood weathers it gradually changes colour, the first

stage is the darkening of the wood as water soluble

extractives are drawn to the surface. In time this trend

reverses and the wood gradually turns silver grey.

Insurance

Please note that insurance companies usually cover

greenhouses automatically. Contact your insurance company

to confirm your cover.

The sides and ends of the base can

be fixed together positioning an

anchor leg or short corner bracket

on the outside of the sides and fixed

through the pre drilled holes with

the bolts and nuts supplied (Fig 1).

The short anchor legs are used only

when the base is to sit on a concrete

base.

To fix to the base, drill through the

base bottom and secure using

suitable fixings.

The long anchor legs are used if you

are intending to secure the base to

the ground. The ends of the legs

should be splayed (Fig 2).

Dig a hole in the ground where each

anchor leg will be situated and set

the legs into the holes ensuring the

steel base is square and level before

filling the holes with concrete or

postcrete, then leave to set.
