The manufacturer recommends a team of 2-3 people to safely and efficiently assemble the frame and apply the cover.
No, the kit includes the steel frame and cover, but you will need to purchase the necessary timber separately to construct the door frames.
The included industrial-spec SunMaster cover has a typical life expectancy of 7 to 10 years, depending on local weather conditions.
Yes, all steel components and cast iron clamps are galvanised to BS EN ISO 1461 standards, providing high resistance to rust and corrosion.
Yes, the straight-sided frame is specifically designed for strength and aerodynamics, making it suitable for exposed or windy sites.
It is recommended to keep the cover clean and ensure it remains properly tensioned to prevent wind whip and water pooling.
Re-tighten the tensioning systems on the ground tubes and ensure all base rails are properly secured.
Ensure proper ventilation by opening ends or side vents if applicable; check that the anti-drip properties are not being inhibited by dust buildup.
Verify that your ground tubes are perfectly level and spaced correctly according to the provided instruction manual.
The kit is designed for a team of 2-3 adults. Before starting, ensure your site is leveled and clear of debris. Installation involves setting the galvanised steel ground tubes, assembling the frame arches, and then tensioning the cover. Regular care involves checking the tension of the polythene cover, especially after heavy wind events, and cleaning the interior and exterior of the plastic occasionally to ensure maximum light transmission. Always ensure that all cast iron clamps are tightened securely to the manufacturer's specifications to prevent movement over time.
