Selec ng a site
The loca on of your green-
house is very important. The
structure needs to get as much sunlight as much as possible but should not be exposed to high
winds. Try to avoid loca ng your greenhouse under trees as this will cast shade, which encour-
ages a build-up of algae and falling branches or leaves could cause damage to the structure or
block gu ering. Sap from trees can make the glazing s cky and dirty so it lets in less light. Cre-
a ng a level and square base is the most important step in successfully assembling your green-
house: selec ng a site that is already quite level will make the assembly process much easier.

If you are si ng the greenhouse on earth, you will need to dig 6 holes for the ground anchors, as
shown in SECTION 0, FOUNDATION, approx. 300mm deep x 200mm in diameter. You will need
post concrete for the ground anchors and, depending on your soil type, you may need plas c
pipes to stop the ground crumbling in on itself. If you are si ng the greenhouse on slabs/
concrete, cut the ground anchors off with a hack-saw so that they are level with the base as
shown in SECTION 8 LOCATING, pic 2. To secure the base down pour concrete into pre dug
holes with ground anchors situated in place. For slab/concrete founda on, using the L-shaped
brackets provided, drill into the concrete/slabs using a 7mm masonry drill bit and secure
using 7mm plugs and 6mm x 50mm screws minimum, as shown in SECTION 10 FINISHING.
