May we congratulate you on your new Spira
GB
Dear Customer!
The assembly of your new house requires a bit of
technical knowledge. However, it is important that the
assembly instructions are followed strict-ly. The assembly
instruction is a combination of text and illustrations.
The profiles are packed in separate numbered packs
corresponding to the order in the assembly instruction.
Erect one pack at a time. All nuts and bolts and fittings are
found in bag No. 0 (specified on page 14). Each pack is
specified in separate lists of components.
All detailed illustrations are marked with symbols:
seen from inside
seen from outside.
Precautions.
•
Assembly must only be carried out in
dry and calm weather.
•
Always use working gloves while
glazing. Greenhouse glass has sharp
edges, especially if the glass breaks.
•
Assistants and especially children
must be warned that broken glass is
an element of danger. Pick up broken
glass at once and remove it with care.
•
We recommend to use protective
glasses while fixing the spring wire
clips.
•
Place the ladder on a level support.
•
It is essential to have an assistant.

Foundation
The base is not included in this delivery. However, an
original base can be bought separately. It ensures you a
stable and easy to build base.
If you make your own base the measurements indicated
must be external measurements.
If you buy an original base you furthermore need about
75 litres of concrete and 6 plastic-/concrete pipes of about
800 mm which are placed in a non-freezing depth for the
fastening of the corner and middle anchors.
The base must be 100% level and square; the latter is
ensured by checking that the two diagonal measurements
are equal.
Tools
The mounting of the greenhouse requires the tools shown
on page 14.
Page 16-35:
Place the components as shown on the illustration
and assemble in the order shown in the pictures. Do
not tighten the nuts completely until the front gable
construction has been assembled.
Page 15:
(Fastening to the base).
When constructing your own base you have to drill holes
(7 mm) in the ground frame between all the vertical
frames, the greenhouse is then fastened to the base with
screws (A).
Using an original base the greenhouse is fastened to each
vertical bar as shown on drawing B.
Page 34-37:
For an easier assembly we recommend that you oil the
screws for the doors /windows.
Fitting of glass/polycarbonate
Important before glazing!
Make sure that gables and sides are level
and square, and that door(s) and window(s)
are functioning perfectly.
Best order of assembly:
1) Windows – 2) Roof – 3) Doors – 4) Gables – 5) Sides
Page 39-43:
Glazing (illustration 1 to 8)
Degrease the sheets and frames with acetone.
Start glazing from below, one glass at a time. Apply a 3
mm silicone line on the vertical frames where indicated
(dotted lines on the illustration). (A 3 mm line of silicone is
sufficient to obtain maximum attachment). If you do use
more than recommended, you can buy extra tubes.
Spring wire clips and glassholders are to be fitted as
shown.
X = Spring wire clips, > = Glassholders
In case of broken glass carefully pull it outwards and
loosen the silicone by means of a sharp craft knife.
Clean the profile completely before inserting a new pane
of glass.

Mounting of polycarbonate
The illustrations at the bottom of page 43 show where to
mount them. The type indication states the length in mm. A
possible adjustment is made by means of a fine-tooth saw.
NB! To avoid the formation of algae the polycarbonate
sheets must not come into contact with the ground. Rest
them on a piece of cardboard.
A-lists are mounted as shown on page 39. Put the sheet
into the bottom list, bend the sheet slightly outwards and
put it in the top list.
M-lists are mounted as shown on page 39. Place the
upper part of the list under the alu. profile in the whole
length of the sheet and hereafter click on the list from
above.
Sealing of the polycarbonate sheets
The sheets may be sealed against insects. Close the top
end off with alu-tape or silicone. The bottom only with
airstrip tape to let condensation out (available at your local
dealer).
Now your greenhouse is completely assembled. However,
please notice the following:
