day to complete installation
Site Selection
l Avoid overhanging trees as much as possible as leaves will make regular cleaning necessary and broken branches are a potential hazard.
l Small trees,bushes or fences nearby can be helpful,acting as a wind break.
Site Preparation
The site must be prepared so that the base of the shed is level all round and checking with a spirit level is required.
The base can be constructed by treated timber or concrete,in order to stop the moisture getting into the shed.The shed is not designed to be built onto
lawn directly.Also the ground will get muddy during rainy days.
If a concrete pad is made,it is important that this slopes towards the edges to prevent water ingress.
Time must be allowed for any concrete or cement to dry before building the shed on top.
Bases can also be constructed from bricks,blocks,or mounted on a concrete pad.
The bricks or blocks should be cemented onto firm and level concrete footings and the greenhouse frame drilled and
screwed to the base.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
l Find someone to help you:it is much easier with someone to hold parts,pass tools ect.Also some steps require two peo-
ple to lift structures together.This is not very heavy work so would suit most able-bodied people.
l Allow plenty of time:rushing often causes errors and the re-doing of incorrect assemblies.If you have never built a shed
before,it can take most of a day to carefully complete the construction.
l Have the right tools to hand. l Safety clothing as recommended in the 'Tools' section.
l Ideally lat out the parts and check that all are present before commencing construction.Lay on cloths or plastic sheets if
there is any risk of scratching the parts.
l Tighten all nuts carefully,being sure not to miss any.Check the frame is square and using a spirit level to check that it is
upright.
