Juliana Greenhouse - How
to install Base Kit
 It
is important that your greenhouse is mounted on a strong base which, is
well anchored to the ground.
The base must be level and true or it will be very difficult to attach
the frame and virtually impossible to fit the glass or polycarbonate.
For these reasons special care must be taken when concreting the base
into the ground.
You start by mounting the roof, after that the sides
|
|
|
| To assemble the base you need
the following:
- Pipes for concreting (plastic or concrete min. 10 cm Ø)
- A spirit level
- Concrete and sand
- A spade
- A tape measure
- A flat-nose pliers
- 10" spanner
- Ect. Juliana Start-Mix (Spanner) |
Start by making sure that the
site where the greenhouse will be is clear, level and even. |
You will receive the base vrapped
in clear foil. Please check that it is undamaged. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| The base will be labeled to show
which greenhouse it fits. Please check that you have got the right
one. |
Check that the sides and ends
have the correct dimensions (dimensions can be found in the asembly
instruction) |
The gorund anchors are used to
fix the sides and ends together.
If the base area is more than 9 m2 additional ground anchors need
to be fitted to the sides. Long bolts are supplied for thei purpose. |

|
| |
|
|
| Place the base onto the site
where the greenhouse will stand. |
Measure the base diagonal. The
measurement must be the same for both diagonal measurements. This
ensures that the base is square. |
Place a stick through every ground
anchor so that you know where to dig the holes, and remove the base. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Dig or drill the holes for
the ground anchors to be conrected to the ground. The holes should
be at least 80 cm deep, so that the base is fitted to frost free
depth. |
Before you put the ground anchors
into the pipes you have to splay them.
| Lavel the
base and check the diagonal measurements again to ensure that the
base is level and square. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Pour the concrete into the holes
and let it harden for 24 hours.
Don´t put too much water into the cement. The less water
the stronger concrete. |
Now the base is ready, and you
can mount the greenhouse on top.
