norfolk lean to greenhouse

blondeswan

has anybody got any idea how to assemble a norfolk ultimate 4 by 6 . Any ideas or sketches would be greatly appreciated as the enclosed instructions are really difficult to follow and our greenhouse does not look very square so gone wrong somewhere
thanks in advance

My Norfolk greenhouse was a bu99er to put together too. If it doesn't look square, then one of the bits is probably bolted into a wrong hole somewhere. We did that. It was one of the little diagonal bits in the corner.

Hi

I can't comment on the specific greenhouse, but most are similar so instructions for other models may be useful.

Oh we are considering buying this exact greenhouse. I can't find any reviews online and wondered how it had worked out for you MBE, after you got it straightened out that is lol. Would you recommend it ?
TIA

If you can get it together, it's not bad. Mine's not a lean-to one though (6'x6'), but it has seen some pretty nasty weather conditions over a couple of years, and is still as good as new.

We have an 8 by 6 norfolk one that is going strong after 12 months. I did most of the assembly myself, but I quite enjoy flatpack assembly as it were. I wonder if it comes from the same place as enjoying sudoku and puzzles in general lol.

Unfortunately the instructions aren't as clear as they might be and the frame flexed about until the point when the structue started coming together.

Some bits I found you could only see the correct way to put together once you "offered up" the peices together and could see how they might join.

Be patient and take it step by step.
I love mine for the low cost it was unbeatable, Oh made a wooden frame for the base with spikes on the corners aas once that was in our clay soil it is rock solid. Ours hasn't even leaned a bit all winter.

Yes i have an 8x6 too wasnt bad to put together except for the rear window which 1 season later is still not fixed so if anyone can post a pic on here for me to look at otherwise its duck tape :idea:

The rear window doesn't fix. You're supposed to put a kink in the edge of the plastic with a pair of pliers, so that it grips the runner. It works for a good...ooo...five minutes. Mine's sorted now and fully adjustable, depending on what length of stick I prop it up with.
