Thank you for purchasing your new Robinsons greenhouse. We recommend you familiarise yourself with the instructions and read al l safety
information before you commence assembly. This instruction manual is also available online at www.robinsonsgreenhouses.co.uk
in our technical help section should you need to reprint it. Should you require any additional advice you can always call us on 01782 385409.
These instructions are divided into sections highlighted by a white number/letter on a black background at the bottom corner of most pages (see opposite
page for details); part lists, B-base, P-preparation, 1-sides, 2-front gable, 3-rear, 4-joining the four sides together, 5-louvre, 6-roof, 7-vent, 8-glazing, 9-
vent attachment, 10-door attachment, 11 anchoring down, 12 finishing touches, 13 optional shelf, 14 optional staging. If you need to contact us for assistance please refer to the relevant section/s. If your building is longer than 12’, i.e. has an extension then please also refer the separate extension manual.
Safety Warning
Glass and aluminium can potentially cause injury. Please ensure you wear protective goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when
assembling and glazing the building.
Please remember that glass is fragile and should be handled with extreme care. Always clear up and dispose of any breakages immediately.
Do not assemble the greenhouse in high winds.
For safety reasons and ease of assembly, we recommend that this greenhouse is assembled by a minimum of two people.
Please clear all lying snow from the greenhouse roof as it can cause the roof to buckle or collapse.
Site Preparation
When selecting a site for your greenhouse, it is vital that you choose as flat and level an area as possible.
A concrete or slabbed base will provide the most solid foundation for your greenhouse.
IMPORTANT: Do not fix your building down until the building is fully assembled, including glazing.
Avoid placing your greenhouse under trees or in other vulnerable locations.
To minimise the risk of wind damage, try to select as sheltered a site as possible, e.g. beside a hedgerow or garden fence.
Additional Considerations
Please bear in mind that assembling your greenhouse can be time consuming. You may need to spread the construction over two or more
days. We recommend that you avoid leaving the building partially glazed. If you ever have to leave your greenhouse half assembled and not
anchored down, weigh it down with slabs or bags of sand to stop the wind moving it.
You will find it helpful to prepare a large, clean and clear area in which to work in. A garage floor or flat lawn area is ideal.
If you have arranged for someone to install your greenhouse for you, please check that all components are included. Some parts are numbered
and can be identified by a stamped or hand written number (without the ’D’). Alternatively, the components can be identified by their distinctive
profiles, lengths and quantities detailed in the parts list (see next page).
Anchoring down your greenhouse should be the final stage of construction (including glazing).
Once installed your greenhouse requires little maintenance, but to maintain the smooth running of
your door(s) WD40 or similar can be applied to the door pivot pins / lock etc...
Guarantee
Your new Robinsons greenhouse is guaranteed for 10 years against faulty manufacture of the frame-
work. This does not include glazing, moving parts, accidental damage or wind damage.

Most components should have a ‘D’ code punched into their metal surface. Identify and separate all like for like components
prior to assembly. The ‘parts list’ also separates parts into the various sections 1 - 12 shown below. Parts can also be identified by their profile pictures and stated lengths etc..
Base dimensions and recommendations. Ensure that your base is level as this will make assembly of the building, especially
the glazing of the roof much more straight forward. Please be aware that the hinge door on your greenhouse opens inwards,
make sure that there will be no interference between the door and the foundations.
frame assembly.
Take the side glazing bars ‘D609’ with the rubber inserted and the diagonal braces ‘D604’, use 10mm bolts to join them to the
gutter and 15mm bolts to the cills (note how the head of the bolt slides into each glazing bar during construction). Please also
remember to slide in your 22mm bolts for attaching the decorative eave spandrels ‘DV100’ in section 5.
that you have inserted the extra bolts utilised in sections 4 and 5. On the roof and side corner bars not every rubber channel
will require rubber unless it is to be utilised in a partition (see separate manual and section P).
Take the two sides (1) and both gables (2 & 3) and join them together on your base. It is a good idea to tie some ladders to
the sides to support them if you do not have anyone to hold them for you.
They attach to the building during the glazing process (8) like a piece of glass with a black separator above them. If you are
fitting an optional auto-louvre then you need to carefully drill (3mm bit) out the rivets which mount the handle to the frame.
You can then either utilise those holes or create more to mount the unit.
Attach the ridge and then the rubbered-up roof bars ensuring that they are fully butted up to the ridge and down onto the gutter. Attach your cresting before you glaze the building to give yourself more room to work. Utilise the 22mm bolts slid into the
side (section 1) and roof bars to attach your DV100 and DV101 spandrels. On longer models you may need to carefully prop
up the roof and tie the sides together to keep the ridge and gutters straight (i.e. not sagging or bowed) until the building is fully
glazed.

glass beneath, the autovent will be attached to it later on (9).
Layout the bar cappings and covers around the building like a sundial checking that all is present and correct. You can also
place the roof cappings in the gutters so they are closer to hand. The glass in the ends has to bevel on the black separator
strip, this bevelling action allows the glass to tuck underneath the roof corner canopy. Use the capping and the self tapping
screws to then hold the glass in place. The covers then enclose the screw heads giving a neat finish. It is a good idea to
glaze two roof sections first to ensure the building is square followed by two side sections to ensure the building isn't leaning.
IMPORTANT
ping strip (create a hole in the plastic if required) and that the screws are nice and tight to avoid any glass slippage.
Take the assembled vent and slide the vent hinge ‘D866’ into the end of the ridge allowing the vent the pivot open and
closed. Vent stops go either side of the vent to stop any lateral movement (so insert stop / vent / stop). Attach the Bayliss XL
autovents.
Your door comes pre-constructed and locked minus the handles and their pivot pin but now it needs to be mounted to the
front end of your building. Utilise the ‘DV522’ plates and twist in crop headed bolts to join the door and its frame to the building (pinch the door frame against your long front verticals whilst tightening your ‘DV522’ plates to ensure that there is no gap).
If you are struggling to eradicate the gap between the door frame and verticals then some silicone can be carefully applied to
the area to create a vertical seal. Be careful not to lock yourself in the building and to avoid damage do not open the door
until it is attached to the front gable. Getting the door to swing perfectly without dropping or rubbing on the ground may require some small but vital adjustments. You may also need to insert a packer underneath the door frame hinge to increase
ground clearance. Part ‘DV275’ canopies the door frame top hiding the clearance space at the top of the door. The door can
only be made to swing inwards.
IMPORTANT
Please twist the handle to open and close. Please also be aware that your door KEYS (3 provided) are unique to the building
so they should not be stored together.
: On the roof sections please make sure that you place a screw around 25mm / 1” from the bottom of each cap-
: Please do NOT let the door slam open or closed as it is likely to cause damage to the door and the frame.

STAGING
Now that the greenhouse is finished and the door and vent/s are operating without interference then you need to anchor the
building down using 2” rawl plugs and screws. Use a 7mm masonry bit in a hammer drill to create the holes.
Now that the main body of the structure is complete you can add; downpipe fittings, eave bungs, gutter stop ends. It is also
important to carefully apply some silicone to the internal eaves corners and external and internal ridge corners to minimise
the chance of water entering the structure.
Robinsons integral cantilever staging and shelving attaches to the inside of the greenhouse frame using either square head
bolts (insert four into each side glazing bar ’D609’ during construction of the sides (1)) or rectangular ‘crop head’ bolts which
can be fitted retrospectively (both sets of bolts accompany the shelving/staging). This system allows the height of either the
staging or the shelf to be set at an operator specific height. Commonly the staging brackets are set 900mm from the cills
though you can alter this to suit the end user/s. The aluminium shelf / staging slats come in two lengths; (4’):1240mm ‘D2002’
and (6’):1860mm ’D2003’. These slats can combine to create any length of staging required, i.e. 4’+6’ = 10’ etc...

The frame is assembled by feeding square
headed bolts, either 10mm or 15mm in length
into the slots on glazing bars and then locating
those bolts through holes in purlings and cills,
etc… Twist in (rectangular) crop headed bolts
are also used towards the end of construction
to attach components to the frame when the
glazing bar slots are no longer exposed at the
ends.

GLAZING (plans pto):
Glass and aluminium can potentially cause
injury. Please ensure you wear protective
goggles, gloves, headgear and suitable footwear when assembling and glazing the building.
Please remember that glass is fragile and
should be handled with extreme care. Always
clear up and dispose of any breakages immediately.
Layout the plastic bar cappings e.g. D618
and covers e.g. D619 around the building like
a sundial checking that all is present and correct, see right and pto. You can also place
the roof cappings in the gutters so they are
closer to hand.
Use the capping e.g. 618 and the self tapping
screws to then hold the glass in place. The
covers then enclose the screw heads giving a
neat finish e.g. D619.
IMPORTANT
make sure that you place a screw around
25mm / 1” from the bottom of each capping
strip (create a hole in the plastic if required)
and that the screws are nice and tight to
avoid any glass slippage.
: On the roof sections please
