Please note that this is a brand new instruction manual. If you find any mistakes or you think anything needs improving then please email me at; james@thegreenhousepeople.co.uk or phone 01782 388811
Thank you for purchasing your new Simplicity greenhouse. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the instructions and read all safety information before you commence assembly. This instruction manual is also available online at www.greenhousepeople.co.uk in our technical help section should you need to reprint it. Should you require any additional advice you can always call us on 01782 388811. Safety Warning x Glass and aluminium can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when assembling and glazing the building. x Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and dispose of any breakages immediately.
x x
Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds. For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a minimum of two people.
Site Preparation x When selecting a site for your greenhouse, it is vital that you choose as flat and level an area as possible.
x x x x
A concrete or slabbed base will provide the most solid foundation for your greenhouse. IMPORTANT: Do not fix your building down until the building is fully assembled, including glazing. Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations. To minimise the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedgerow or garden fence.
Additional Considerations x Please bear in mind that assembling your greenhouse can be time consuming. You may need to spread the construction over two or more days. We recommend that you avoid leaving the building partially glazed. If you ever have to leave your greenhouse half assembled and not anchored down, weigh it down with slabs or bags of sand to stop the wind moving it. x You will find it helpful to prepare a large, clean and clear area in which to work in. A garage floor or flat lawn area is ideal.
x x x
If you have arranged for someone to install your greenhouse for you, please check that all components are included. Most parts are numbered and can be identified by a stamp or removable label. Alternatively, the components can be identified by lengths detailed in the packing list (see diagram below). Anchoring down your greenhouse should be the final stage of construction (including glazing). Once installed your greenhouse requires little maintenance, but to maintain the smooth running of your door(s) WD40 or similar can be applied to the door wheels and lower door guides.
Guarantee x Your new Simplicity greenhouse is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture of the framework. This does not include glass, moving parts, accidental damage or wind damage.

Packed with base!
7mm
18mm
If you have a metal base and you live in a windy location then you should drill and fix the frame to the base using 10mm nuts and bolts. Drill centrally between two vertical glazing bars for neatness (it is not essential to drill every section). Make sure the bolt head does NOT interfere with the line of the glass. Cills should be drilled 18mm from the inside vertical face to avoid the front glass face. Do NOT anchor the structure to the ground until the end!

Please note you will have to drill and screw through your metal base and into your solid foundation at an angle from outside the building.
To help waterproof the building it is a good idea to use a transparent all-weather silicone inside and outside of the building where there are any gaps. Also the top of the vents can be siliconed.
Vent top corner siliconed along with bar capping. Leave cap to allow water to drain.
Inside eave area siliconed.
Outside eave area siliconed with bar capping.
Here’s how you can earn £25 and have your new greenhouse feature in our next brochure…. We are always interested to hear how you went on assembling your simplicity greenhouse, and we are particularly interested to see photos of the finished article. We like to see where you’ve put it, how you’re using it and how it looks in your garden. Often we glean ideas from this which we can pass on to other gardeners as useful tips. It is always nice if we can include ‘real’ greenhouse photos in the brochure, so if you send us a photo of your greenhouse to us and it is good enough to get into our next brochure, we will send you a £25 reward. Please send your photos to: Photo competition Simplicity Greenhouses Blythe Park Cresswell Stoke-on-Trent Staffs ST11 9RD 01782 388811 Or better still, email us on sales@simplicitygreenhouses.co.uk Please write on the reverse of photos your name and address and if you would like them back, please write ‘please return’ on them too. We wish you all the best with your new greenhouse, and we look forward to seeing your photos in the near future!
