Making your first 2ft section: You will require 4 legs, 2 trays, and your bag of nuts
and bolts. Using your nuts and bolts with your spanner and flat
screwdriver join the legs and trays together (PICS 3, 4) to make a 2’ section as shown in picture 6.

Important Note: On one of the short faces leave the holes free of nuts and bolts (Pictures 7, 8, 9, 10) ready for your next 2ft section to be attached.

Important Note: Measure the entrance to your greenhouse and compare it to the tray width / depth. If your doorway is narrow it may be a good idea to build your staging inside the greenhouse to make life easier later on.

Setting Up: Firstly make sure you have a flat, clean area in which to work or the staging will not be level when lifted into position.
Collate all of your components along with the required tools. Note: The nuts and bolts can be inserted in either direction (PIC 2, 5). Having the nuts on the inside (PIC 10) is the neater option but will take more time.
Joining 2ft sections together: (Pics 7—11) For every 2ft section you will need to repeat the
previous set of instructions. However in the 6ft, 8ft and 10ft options you can leave the centre 2ft sections (Picture 13) in the run free of short face bolts on both short faces. This is because the holes and their subsequent nuts and bolts are required to join the short faces of each 2ft section together. (Pictures 7—14)
When you have made all your 2ft sections you
can combine them to the required length.

Alternative Options: The sections can also be joined through the long sides producing a shorter but deeper result (see picture above left).
When attaching sections ensure that the edges are flush to give a smooth finish.

Note: If you have difficulty lining up the holes between your 2ft sections loosen the nuts around the joint in question and use a Pozi screwdriver to gently align the holes. (Pictures 12, 14)

Trays can be filled with gravel, soil, plant pots etc.. Please note that as a natural part of the CNC laser cutting the gravel trays can get quite extensive scratch marks on one or more surfaces. These will soon fade or be covered with gravel etc so are not considered a detriment to the use of the product.
