How to assemble a Juliana steelbase |
|
It is important that your greenhouse is mounted on a strong base which, is well anchored to the ground. |
|
|
|
|
|
| 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. |
