BASE ASSEMBLY
IMPORTANT–READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING
The first step in assembly is to assemble a proper base. The greenhouse must
•
be properly supported to help prevent property damage and injury in the event of
strong winds or inclement weather. Wind and ground conditions may vary from
site to site, and may affect the practicality and effectiveness of anchoring methods
substantially.
Be certain to check with local authorities to obtain all required building permits
•
and to familiarize yourself with any building codes that may apply.
Decide on a location for the greenhouse. The location should be a level, well-lit
•
area that is sheltered from the wind. The door of the greenhouse should not open
towards the prevailing wind, if possible.
1.
2.
Excavate an area for the base of the greenhouse. The area must be 4’ 6” wide by
6’ 5” long by 21/2” – 23/4” deep. The floor of the hole must be level and square. The
diagonal dimensions, from corner to corner, should each be 7’ 10”.
Assemble the Base outside the hole as shown below. Use Base Bolts (60), Base
Nuts (61), and Connectors (59) to secure the pieces together.

5.
With assistance, lower the Base into the hole. The diagonal dimensions, from outside corner to outside corner, must be equal for the base to be square.
Fill the hole around the outside of the base with soil.
This base will need to be filled with about 10-11 cubic feet of gravel or another appropriate fill material (not provided). The gravel should reach up to about 1/2” – 3/4”
below the lip of the base.

Unless noted otherwise, all frame parts will be attached using the Bolts
•
(43) and Nuts (52) provided. Bolts should all be assembled with their heads
facing the outside of the greenhouse. Tighten Nuts only about 1/4 turn past
finger-tight; be careful not to overtighten.
Lay out all parts by number prior to assembly.
•
An assistant or an appropriate support (not included) will be useful to keep
•
the partially assembled parts upright during assembly. An assistant should
be used to assemble the Crown pieces to the rest of the frame.
Assemble on a clear, calm day. Wind may damage the Greenhouse and will
•
make assembly difficult.
1.
2.
Lay all Floor Plates (16, 17, 34) out on top of the base with the flanges facing the
outside of the greenhouse as shown above. Make sure that the Front Floor Plate
(17) is on the side that you want your door to be located.
There are four Corner Studs (1, 29) to be attached to the Floor Plates (16, 17, 34),
the end with two holes should be at the bottom. As explained below, attach Lefthand Corner Studs (1) on the outside of the front-left and rear-right corner using
two Bolts each Stud. Attach the Right-hand Corner Studs (29) on the outside of
the two remaining corners, also as explained below.
To attach the corner studs, as shown
to the right: 1) slide a Hold Down
Connector (55) up under the rail and
over the end of the Bolt (43), then 2)
secure it using a Nut (52). Use two
Hold Down Connectors for each Corner Stud.
