Introduction

Before Starting Assembly:

5. Make sure you have the proper tools:

After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is essential. The site must be level. If the site is not level, create a base slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the greenhouse using a perimeter of two by fours filled with either soil, sod or gravel. Make sure the base is square by measuring the diagonals from both sides and making sure they are equal. The greenhouse is secured from the inside with pegs into holes cast with concrete. See step16 for details. If you decide to have a concrete base it is best to contact a reliable contractor to ensure it is flat and level.Make sure you have checked with your local authorities regarding any required building permits.

When selecting a site for your greenhouse, a flat level area is essential and if possible, with proper water drainage and easy access to power and water necessary for greenhouse gardening. Choose a sunny, level position away from overhanging trees and power lines and protected from the wind as much as possible. The location should be away from structures that could cause snow to drift on or around the greenhouse. Locate underground pipes or cables before preparing the site or anchoring the greenhouse.Note: You may assemble the greenhouse on a hard level surface and move it to its final position when finished. Make sure there are no obstacles between the assembly area and the final position.

Thank you for purchasing your Easy2BuildTM 6x8 Easy-Grow Greenhouse. When properly assembled and maintained, this greenhouse will provide years of enjoyment.

The List of Parts has the corresponding step number referenced to each part. We recommend that while you go through the list, make staging areas for each step and place the parts necessary for each step in these areas. This will save you time and effort during assembly

2. Lay the parts out in separate staging areas:

3. Select a Location:

4. Prepare a Foundation:

1. Make sure you have all the necessary parts:Compare the contents of the two cartons to the List of Parts. If any parts are missing or damaged or you have any questions, please contact customer service by phone at (877) 407-9100 ext: 2 or by email at [email protected] before beginning assembly.

NOTE: A cordless drill with Phillips head bit is highly recommended but not essential.

Safety AdviceThe greenhouse must be positioned and fixed on a flat level surface.Dispose of all plastic bags safely. Keep them out of the reach of small children. Keep children and pets away from the assembly area until the work is completed.Always wear shoes, gloves and safety goggles when working.In manufacturing all sharp edges and burs have been removed but caution should still be taken when handling metal parts.Do not lean against or push the greenhouse during assembly.Take special care not to touch overhead power lines with the aluminium profiles.Do not attempt to assemble the greenhouse in windy or wet conditions.Do not position your greenhouse in an area exposed to excessive wind.If using power tools or a step ladder always follow the manufacturers safety instructions.Hot items such as recently used grills, blowtorches etc. must not be stored in the greenhouse.Store the polycarbonate panels in a cool dark place like a garage until you are ready to use them.Make sure the greenhouse complies with local building codes.

Install Weather Stripping

From the outside of the greenhouse, line up the black rubber stripping with the V-channels of all profiles. Cut to length of each profile as you work, pushing the stripping between the panel and the empty space in the V-channel of the profile.

IMPORTANT: The black rubber stripping J01is cut to length with scissors. Make sure to insert stripping as shown, securely into the V-channels of all the profiles, cutting each piece to the proper length. This will help protect the inside of your greenhouse from the weather.

If you have been building your greenhouse in another place than it’s finalposition, we recommend you move the greenhouse before you begin these steps. Have at least one person help you carry it.!

Secure to Ground

From the inside of the greenhouse, insert the S34 anchor clips into channels of side profile L01C at each corner and center of both sides. Place the S35 pegs through the holes and into the ground to establish proper placement. Remove the pegs, dig holes 12”/30cm deep and fill with concrete. When the concrete is partially dry, use a hammer to drive the pegs all the way into the concrete and let dry completely for twenty four hours.
