Eden Bourton Manual De Instalación, Funcionamiento Y Servicio página 2

Dear Customer,
Congratulations on purchasing your new Eden greenhouse.
Before you start, please read this instruction booklet carefully. The components
for your greenhouse are in numbered bundles corresponding to the sections in
this booklet. There may be more than 1 bundle per section. Build one section at a
time. IF YOUR GREENHOUSE IS POWDERCOATED, TAKE CARE WHEN OPENING
PACKAGES NOT TO SCRATCH PAINTWORK.
NOTE: These instructions are for more than one length of greenhouse.
Precautions

Please allow plenty of time for construction.

Assembly must be carried out in dry and calm weather.

A minimum of two people are required to construct the greenhouse.

We recommend using the tools supplied to tighten bolts. Electric drills can
lead to cross threading issues and bolts shearing.

Place step ladder on level ground.

Extreme care should be taken when handling glass: always use appropriate
gloves and goggles while glazing. Greenhouse glass can have sharp edges,
especially if there are any breakages.

Do not, under any circumstances, climb step ladders whilst carrying glass.

If there are any breakages, pick up broken glass immediately taking care to
keep children and pets away until completely cleared.

We also recommend using protective gloves and goggles when fitting spring
wire clips due to the extreme tension. There is a helpful video clip under the
"Help and Advice" tab on our website www.edengreenhouses.com .

Selecting a site
The location of your greenhouse 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 locating your greenhouse under trees as this will cast shade, which
encourages a build‐up of algae and falling branches or leaves could cause damage
to the structure or block guttering. Sap from trees can make the glazing sticky and
dirty so it lets in less light. Creating a level and square base is the most important
step in successfully assembling your greenhouse: selecting a site that is already
quite level will make the assembly process much easier.
Site preparation
Please refer to the front cover of this booklet for the OVERALL dimensions of
your greenhouse. If you are siting 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 plastic pipes to stop the
ground crumbling in on itself. If you are siting 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
foundation, using the L‐shaped brackets provided, drill into the concrete/slabs
using a 7mm masonry drill bit and secure using 8mm plugs and screws as shown
in SECTION 10 FINISHING.
