Juliana Greenhouse - How to install
polycarbonate
 The
Polycarbonate
on a Juliana Greenhouse is mounted with silicone which is included in the
kit.
The Silicone makes the aluminium profiles and the glass/polycarbonate
a "welded
unit" increasing the stability of the construction.
Polycarbonate is very quick and easy to install. The sheets are all one
length and they are mounted using plastic clips.
In the assembly instructions you can see where to fit the sheets and
clips.
For the assembly you will need acetone, sandpaper and a little saw or
a hobby-knife.
You start by mounting the roof, after that the sides and lastly the
gables.

|
|
| The frame is degreased with acetone, to get
the best fitting. |
The polycarbonate sheets does only have UV-protection
on one side marked with a label. It is important that you install
it right otherwise it will crumble after a few years, and the guarantee
will be invalidated. |
The sheets are delivered with
a protective covering which you have to peel off before mounted in
the greenhouse. |

|
| Leave the white labe on the sheet
until you have installed it. Otherwiese it is difficult to see which
side should face outwards. |
Sand the edge of the polycarbonate
sheets, to make the silicone seat more effectively onces it its glued. |
Put on a 3 mm thick line of silicone
onto the frame.
(Silicone is not nessecary for 6 and 10 mm polycarbonate) |

| The A-lists are installed into
the top of the section as shown. The "flap" of the list
are pushed into the profile in the top.
In some cases the list has to be fitted in the gables, by cutting
the length.
The polycarbonate sheets for Carport, Gardener and MU-Luxe models
are mounted with a u-lists in stead. They are mounted directly
onto the sheets in the top and buttom. That means that you have
to glue them to the frame at the top and buttom. |
The A-list are mounted onto the
bottom of the sections in the same way. |
Press the polycarbonate sheet
into the A-list. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| The you push the polycarbonate
sheet into the top A-list.
Remember to turn the polycarbonate sheet the right way round. |
Then you fix the M-lists into
the sides.
You start from the top and push the liste in between the frame
and the polycarbonate sheet. It has to "click" before
it is mounted correctly. |
When the polycarbonate sheets
are mounted, you can remove the white label with "this side
out". |
