Section 1
Before you start:
• This task is accomplished more easily with two people.
• Gloves and goggles are recommended. No tools required.
• Identify all Polycarbonate panels and PVC profiles.
• Locate and identify the stainless steel glazing clips from the greenhouse pack.
• Locate ‘W’ glazing clips from the greenhouse pack.
• It is important to install the panels with the UV treated side facing outwards. This is covered
with white polythene. Suggested installation procedure:
• Remove the clear polythene protective cover from the ‘inside’ face of the panel just before
installation but leave the white ‘outside’ covering in place.
• Install the panel, peeling back sufficient of the white sheet to install the clips and end caps.
• Do not remove the white covering until the panel is finally secured in place.
Section 2
Glazing method: general.
• The stainless steel glazing clips are
designed to hold the centre of the
polycarbonate panels to the greenhouse
frame: There are 3 designs, each for a
specific part of the greenhouse. Where
they are needed, add the correct clip to
the centre of the polycarbonate panel
ends, with the frame-fixing part of the
clip on the inside.
• The ‘U’ profile PVC strips are added
before glazing and fit over the stainless
steel clips where they are used. The wide
face of the PVC profile should face
outwards. Fig A.
• Have someone inside the greenhouse to
help locate the stainless steel clips onto the greenhouse frame. This is best achieved by locating
the bottom edge of the panel into the frame first and bending the panel as shown to locate the
top edge. Fig B.
• The ‘H’ profile joiner strips (J2-1) join the polycarbonate panels at the greenhouse ends. Fig C.
• Once in place, secure with ‘W’ clips (G4) as shown, evenly spaced. Fig D.

Glazing: side panels.
• Use stainless steel clips J4-2 and PVC profiles J3 and proceed as indicated
in the general glazing instructions.
• Once in place, secure with ‘W’ glazing clips G4 as shown, four ‘W’
clips to each side.
• Repeat for the other side panels.
Glazing: Lower end panels, back and front:
• The bottom edge of these panels is glazed in the same as the side panels,
using stainless steel clips J4-2 and PVC profiles J3.
• The top edges of the panels have no glazing Z clips and use the ‘H’ PVC profile J2-1. (The top
panels in the end section then fit into the top of these ‘H’ profiles).
• Once in place, secure with ‘W’ clips G4, four clips to each panel side.
Glazing: upper panels on greenhouse back and front.
• No glazing Z clips are used.
• The top edges have ‘U’ profile PVC covers as below.
• Front apex panel: J3-2
• Back centre panel: J3-2
• Corner panels back and front: J3-4
• The bottom edges fit into the ‘H’ channel on the lower panels.
• Once in place, secure panels with ‘W’ clips G4, two per each panel side.
Glazing: roof.
• The panel top edges have no Z clips or PVC covers: they slide under
the ridge greenhouse flange.
• The bottom edge of these uses stainless steel clips J4-1 and PVC
profiles J3-1.
• Where a vent is fitted, a short panel is used below the vent opening
(J1-2) and is secured in the same way.
• Once in place, secure with ‘W’ clips G4, four clips to each panel side.
Glazing: vent.
• This section is glazed prior to installation: see greenhouse erection instructions.
• PVC profile J3-3 can be added to the panel by slackening the corner bolts.
Glazing: door.
• The top and bottom edges of all of the door panels have stainless steel
clip J4-3 and PVC profile J3-1
• Once in place, secure with ‘W’ clips G4, two per each panel side.
NOTE: in very exposed areas extra ‘W’ clips are recommended: these can
be purchased from most greenhouse retailers and are part of the
Gardman Handy Pack range. In extreme conditions ‘Sealoflex’ or other
clear silicon mastic can be applied to the glazing bead during the glazing
process.
