We built the greenhouse as competent DIY'ers using your instructions as our only guide. While they definitely fulfilled their aim, we did notice a couple of areas where they might be enhanced (for DIY'ers that is), and, while accepting the risk that the cause of the hitches could be down to inexperience in building EDEN, we'd like to highlight these now:
1. Assembly. The guidance requires the frame bracket plates to be fully tightened as the sectional build progresses. In the case of the ridge section fitting to the gable ends, it was necessary to remove the plate at the gable apex at each end to allow the ridge temporarily to locate correctly, replacing and re-tightening up afterwards. We discovered this solution through trial and error and a lot of staring, re-reading and thinking, and it might be worth offering this as a tip to future builders.
2. Glass fitting. We thought hard about a sequence for fitting the glass to amplify the glass 'fitted' diagram in the instructions. We decided to fit the centre 3 panes of our 10ft greenhouse roof and sides, and the centre gable panes first as this allowed the end panes to be more easily maneuvered into place by retaining the ability to reach through the empty frame and hold both sides of the glass in all but the last pieces. This could be a useful tip, perhaps shown in an amplification diagram showing the recommended order of glass installation rather than just which piece goes where.
Hope these are of use. Thanks for a great product.
