5. When assembling the greenhouse assemble the screws and nuts lightly, once you are happy
with the construction these can be tightened completely. Do not over tighten.
6. On completion of the framework and before beginning the glazing, it is advisable to test the
square of each of the roof sections with one of the panels and likewise the side and other
sections.
7. When placing roof sections into the ridge make sure they are pushed as far up as possible
into the ridge section.

panels will be vulnerable to high winds since the securing clips only attach to the sides of the
frame. Use tape at the top and bottom of the panel as a minimum guideline.

warranty.

as the recess is tight.
11. If the greenhouse is sited in an e posed location and/or is e posed to high winds,
improvisation for e tra protection may be considered. If so the following is recommended:
Drill 3 holes in the ridge section central to each of the roof panels. Then drill 3
corresponding holes in both gutters. Fi strong cord ( i.e. Clothes line ) through the holes
and make fast to further safeguard the roof panels. Give similar attention to the side and
rear panels. This time attach 2 cords horizontally and equally spaced. It is important to drill
the holes in the uprights as close as possible to the face of the panels. If these guidelines are
followed diligently, the panels cannot escape even if the clips are dislodged by gale force
conditions. (Please note this is a tip provided by a customer to provide additional protection
during strong winds. It is not guaranteed to prevent damage occurring during adverse
weather but merely a suggestion). (see Additional Customer Tips section)
12. To summarise, the erection of the BillyOh Rosette Greenhouse may in the beginning appear
a daunting task and the structure deceptively flimsy. However, with patience and
