CILL PLATE, REMOVE AFTER POSITIONING BASERAIL

Take the base rail sections, place them centrally overlapping the brickwork equally at each end. The correct distance apart for the base rails, is 1924mm. Remove the cill plate once the positioning has been established (Fig 3). Select a point approximately in the centre between each base rail bracket, marking out this spot for drilling. The holes are not pre-drilled thus allowing the position to be drilled precisely into a solid foundation point, and not into a joint in the brickwork. Drill as marked (for example a 4 pane house will have 4 fixings per side) using an 8mm drill. Drill into the foundation with an 8mm masonary drill to a depth of 50mm to take the plug and screw provided (Fig 4.) Insert the plug washer and screw tightening only sufficiently to hold the rails into position at this stage. Once the structure is complete, remember to tighten all fixing screws securely. If required and to ensure a perfect level, packings may be inserted beneath the rails before final fixing.

At the third level there are two types of members. Type ‘C’ are once again used where there is no vent to be positioned and fixed as before. Where a vent is to be positioned there is a cross member of identical form to the type ‘C’ cross member with the exception that it has two short cuts, each 30mm from either end as type ‘B’ (Fig 10). This is fixed as before by placing on top of the brackets and fastening together using ‘A’ type bolts and nuts.

NOTE:

The opening panes can only be located at intermediate panes i.e.: not next to an end or partition.

11.

Now glaze the faceted section of the house starting nearest the ridge and from one end (shall we say the door end). Each of the faceted panes are 730mm x 160mm. Each P.V.C. edged pane (with the 730mm edge horizontal) is pushed up into the glazing slot in the type ‘A’ ridge cross member (Fig 16) at the angle shown, and then lowered into the slot of the cross member beneath (be it type ‘B’ or ‘C’).

The cappings (173mm) are then fitted to the first two panes and so on as you work along the house. The capping securing the glass to the ends is called half capping (Fig 17) whilst the capping to the spans is full capping. The capping is secured onto the body by ‘B’ type stainless steel self tapping screws.

The next lower facet is now to be glazed and capped as previously described, once again with the glass size 711 x 730 and capping length 727mm.

15.

Finally the last of the body panels to be glazed is the vertical face. This has glass panes 730mm x 1067mm. The capping, both full and half is 1064mm long.

The P.V.C. edged panes are inserted as before, they are then secured with the capping and the ‘B’ type stainless steel screws.

The capping used to fit the glass in position is: a. Half capping around the perimeter 8 pieces. b. Full capping (1862mm long) to the left of the door aperture and a short piece (83mm long), located above the door aperture to the right hand side. c. A single piece of draught seal capping (1862mm long) located to the right hand side of the door aperture.

All this capping is fixed with ‘B’ type stainless steel self tapping screws.

To glaze and cap the doors, we suggest that you lay them flat on the floor or bench to be sure that they are square. Insert the glass as before. (The top panes are 365mm x 720mm, and the bottom panes are 365 x 678mm). The left hand vertical half capping has a handle fitted, whilst the right hand is plain, and vice versa for the other door. Fix with ‘B’ type stainless steel self tapping screws.

Locate the lower channel in the base of the door over the front edge of the rail at the base of the door end assembly. The door is then raised to the vertical, allowing the door baserail to click under the rebate cut into the draught seal capping. Now lift the door to allow the runner wheels to clip over the upper runner rail.

The reason for not securing the rail into position will now be evident since some juggling of the door and rail will be required to locate everything correctly.

Now try the door. If running smoothly, and correctly located both at the base and the top, you may now bolt the door top runner assembly into place. page 11

21.

The complete vent can now be fitted into the greenhouse frame by hooking the vent top edge lip into the vent top cross member (type ‘B’) already fitted to the house. The vent is offered into the top cross member with the vent in its widest possible open position. (Fig 25).

TYPE ‘B’ CROSS MEMBER

VENT

Vent being positioned.

Fig 25.

When finally being fixed into place the vent frame will use two pieces of grey P.V.C. strip, one down either side, to facilitate capping which is part of the final glazing process. When the position of the vent strip is ascertained, you may find easier to tap it into its final position with a hammer, if it is stiff. (Fig 26). In this position the full capping now secures not only the glass on one side but also the P.V.C. strip on the other side.

Note:- The casement stay is fitted to the lower section of the vent with a single ‘A’ type bolt and nut at the completion of the erection.

GUTTER AND DOWNPIPE 23.

On structures longer than 7 panes in length, the gutter will be in two parts, with a welded slip joint. Slide the the two halves together and drill a Ø7mm hole through the centre.

Slide the two halves apart and apply a liberal amount of sealant (not supplied) to the slip joint. Slide the two halves back together and secure with a type ‘A’ screw and nut.

Centralize the gutters so that the same amount protrudes at each end. See Fig.28.

Section 4. Potting Shoe For staging with a lath type top tray, place the shoe in the desired location on top of the laths and mark through the four holes in the base. Remove the shoe and drill the four positions with a Ă˜3.5mm bit. Replace the shoe and secure with No.8x9.5 self tapping countersunk screws.

For staging with a flat sheet top tray, place the shoe on top of the flat sheet. Securing with the self tapping screws is optional.

For staging with a corrugated sheet type top tray, place the shoe at the desired end of the staging and lap the corrugations as close to the shoe as possible.

Section 4. Partitions Stand-alone planthouse (walled structure) staging remains unaffected, but attached staging on a glass-toground structure needs to be shorter at the front glazed side of the partition. This is achieved by use of a shorter 593mm front/rear end frame. Ensure that these are used at the partition end of the staging. Because the short section has no radial/span to which it can be attached, an extra leg is supplied for use at the rear corner.

Section 5. Abutting Structures Glass-to-ground attached staging remains unaffected, but planthouse (walled structure) staging is increased in length to fill the gap created by the lack of a wall at the abutting end. This is achieved by use of a longer 743mm front/rear end frame. Ensure that these are used at the abutting end. In order that the lengths of the shelving laths remain consistent, the end tray at the abutting uses corner pieces and mid legs set in from the end (as outlined in section 1).

Section 6. Gable Staging Staging across the gable is always of the free-standing type, with a lower parcel shelf. The staging will fit on one of three ways; across a full gable, next to one side of staging to create an L shape, and between two sides of staging. The assembly method is the same as that shown in section 2, with the only difference being that the front/rear frame is in one piece.

page 21

SHELVING ERECTION ISSUES When erecting the shelving, support brackets should be screwed to the spans at the dimensions shown in the sketch, using ‘C’ type self tapping screws. Hook the support into the pair of brackets consistently on either the left ot the right hand side of the brackets. There are two types of shelving laths, one with a plain end and one with a slot at both ends.

THIS END TO SLOT INTO NEXT SUPPORT

Starting from the plain end of the house and utilizing the shelving laths with one plain end, place four sections with the unslotted end on the * horizontal support bracket on the plain end * and the slotted end onto the shelving sling.

The lath with the slot at both ends are utilized between the intermediate sling supports placed as in Fig 34. The process is continued until the entire shelf is completed.

LOUVRE There are two types of louvre frames, one of these can replace any bottom pane of glass, the other can be placed in the centre of the plain end, by simply replacing glass pane ‘D’. Whether the louvre is being fitted into the body or end, the whole unit should be assembled prior to installation. A splitter section (Fig 35) should be placed on top of the louvre and pressed down firmly.

Position the small piece of glass, (K) or (M) in the groove above the louvre to make up the complete pane. Offer the unit into the cross brace, then lower it into the groove in the baserail. page 22

BLINDS Instructions for fixing sprung roller blinds: It is important to note that the blinds have a flat spindle at one end which should always be offered up to the ridge with the flat spindle on the left (end blinds are 25mm shorter than the middle ones).

Brackets to hold blinds and rollers to be positioned and fixed into the span slot with self tapping screws at the dimension shown using ‘C’ type screws.

Ends Only: Fix the flat bracket to the gable end member by drilling two holes using a bracket as a template. Fasten with self tapping screws.

Brackets to be in line along glasshouse.
