FOLLOW STEPS IN THE ORDER PRESENTED. KEEP THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
Several Days Before Starting Assembly:
1. Make sure you have all the necessary parts:
Compare the contents of the cartons with the List of Parts. If any parts are missing
or damaged, contact Riverstone Customer Service several days before beginning
assembly so there will be time to get you the missing/replacement parts without
holding up the assembly process. During business hours call (877) 373-3078,
email: customerservice@rsiww.com or use the After Hours Helpline: (443) 574-4764.
2. Lay the parts out in one staging area:
The List of Parts has the corresponding step number referenced to each part so you can
easily prepare for each step. We recommend placing all parts in one staging area. Lay out
parts by size and shape. Use the List of Parts to identify the part numbers for profiles
and panels. We have not labeled the parts with stickers to avoid removing them during
assembly. Check very closely that you have the required number of parts for each step.
3. Select a Location:
When selecting a site for your greenhouse, a flat level surface 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.
4. Prepare a Foundation:
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is essential. The site must
be level. The greenhouse must be mounted to a base. Construct the base first so the
greenhouse can be securely mounted. We recommend constructing a wood platform
base using a perimeter of two by fours filled with either soil, sod or gravel. Instructions
for constructing a wood platform can be found in this manual.
Other suitable base options include wood decks and concrete slabs. Wood screws are
included to secure the greenhouse to a wood base. The greenhouse is secured to the
ground from the inside with ground anchors. See step 11 for details. If you are using
a concrete base, get appropriate mounting screws before beginning.
Make sure the corners are square by measuring the inside diagonals from both sides
and making sure they are equal. Use a spirit level to make sure the base is level.
Contact your local authorities regarding any required building permits or restrictions.
CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN.
