Advice On Assembling A Rion Greenhouse
|
Rion greenhouses are engineered very carefully to make them
easy to assemble and compared to many other makes , Rion
frames are much easier to put together. The frame is erected using
a 'push and fit' system, with the parts simply sliding together and
virutally no tools are required - for the greenhouse you'll just
need a spirit level and scissors or sharp knife - for the base
you'll need a drill plus fixings (such as 10mm x 75mm expansion
bolts).

Getting Started
When you receive your greenhouse you need to open and empty
every box. Then seperate the components into seperate piles. This
makes it easier when following the instructions to assemble the
greenhouse and also makes it simple to check that you're
received all the parts for the greenhouse before you start
building.

A Secure
Foundation
Once you've decided where your greenhouse is going to
stand within your garden you need to ensure that the space is
level, without any undulations.
|
Constructing The
Base
Your greenhouse will need to
be fitted to some type of base - whether this is your own base made
from treated timber or Rions specially made base.
Rions base is made from heavy-duty plastic with a honeycomb like
design. A closed U-shape enables you to infill the base with
soil or gravel for extra anchorage.

Constructing The
Roof
Assemble the roof of the greenhouse on a flat, level surface.
This helps when fitting the glazing panels.
Never be tempted to cut any of the panels to fit - this isn't
required and you may have assembled something
incorrectly.
|
Connecting Roof To
Sides
When matching the roof assembly to the side uprights
ensure all the joints are fully inserted and the pins fitted. Do
Not drill new holes in the frame as the glazing then won't fit.
|
Fitting Glazing
Bead
Before fitting the glazing
bead let it soak in tepid, soapy water for a few minutes. This
softens the beading, making it easier to fit.
