Bourton
Base
The integral base must be 100% level and square, the latter can be done by
checking the 2 diagonals are equal. If it is not square the glazing will not fit.

For each section, lay the profiles out on the ground in the same way as pictured in
the main diagram. Assemble in the order of the pictures.
M6 x 10 bolts/nuts (parts 50 and 51) are not listed on individual parts lists as they
are used in each section.

Take note of where you will need to slide extra bolts into the channels for fixing
horizontal bars, bracing or roof vent sills as per example
picture to the right.
Fasten the profiles together by sliding the square headed
bolts into the channel of the profile and attach to the hole in
the corresponding bar. Do not tighten the nuts completely
until the completed frame is square. NOTE THAT ALL CONNECTING PROFILES
MUST BE FLUSH AND TIGHT TOGETHER TO ENSURE THAT LEAKING IS KEPT TO A
MINIMUM.
The door has a zero threshold™. Component 78 at the base of the door on the
front gable (SECTION 2 FRONT GABLE) is used as a brace to gauge the distance
between the two components 18 and to make construction easier. This will then
be removed in SECTION 10 FINISHING.
Glazing
Glazing must be completed in one operation. Fit the rubber glazing gasket to all
the profiles as shown in SECTION 8, LOCATING before fitting the glass. Note there
are 3 different plans for glazing: horticultural glass, toughened glass or
polycarbonate. Glaze the roof first, then sides and gable ends. Glaze roof vents
before sliding in from THE END of the ridge bar as shown in SECTION 10
FINISHING. Glaze the door before hanging as shown in SECTION 7 DOOR.
Finishing Touches
Fit all plastic parts, i.e. Ridge Cap, Gutter End Caps and Integral Base Corner Caps
by pushing into place as in SECTION 10 , FINISHING.
Note: Fit Integral Base Corner Caps before securing down the greenhouse.
Maintenance
The door sliders and lock will need to be lubricated approximately every 6
months with an OUTDOOR lubricant to ensure smooth operation.
The gutters will need to be regularly cleared of leaves and debris to ensure
efficient drainage.
Replace all broken panes of glass immediately, failure to do so may cause
structural failure.
Remove snow loads from the roof.
