1 14 Congratulations on your purchase of a Sunshine GardenHouse™! Before you begin, make sure your area is level. An 8’ x 12’ level work space is needed for assembly to ensure that your GardenHouse is squarely-built and that the panels join tightly. However, due to wood inconsistencies and the natural moisture in redwood, some adjustments may be necessary to fit redwood panels. You may need to loosen brackets slightly for better fit.

12 3 B ack Place the piston of the cylinder through the housing (the threaded bolt) and into the “T” with the “T” pointing away from the cylinder. Remove the plastic in the “T”. Base - Box #4 & 6 Use 1-1/4” screws to attach the two side wall bases, front wall base and back wall base to each other. All part labels face ourside on the base.

11 4 From the inside of the GardenHouse, secure the unvented panels using 2-1/ 2” screws through the three predrilled holes in the ridge. Automatic Vent Operators - Box #4 Suggestion: Installing the black cylinder into the operator arms is easier if you refrigerate the cylinder for an hour (don’t freeze) before attaching. You can easily push the piston into the black cylinder when the paraffin has contracted in the colder temperature.

10 5 Roof Panels - Vented Side (cont.) Attach vent flashing to the top edge of the vented roof panels using roofing nails provided through the four holes. With a helper, lift a vented roof panel above the ridge and let it slide down until the metal angles rest on the ridge. Slide the panel against the front roof panel and secure it using 2-1/2” screws through the five pre-drilled holes along the sides and one in the center.

6 9 Roof - Box #4 (If not already done at the factory, rest the ridge front and ridge back pieces on the side wall top plate with the connectors pointing down. With the ends of the ridge flush with the ends of the top plate, mark with a pencil on the inside of the top plate at the front of each connector.) Attach the top of the panel from the inside using one 2-1/2” screw through the pre-drilled hole. See page 14 for addendum tip.
PAGE 8
7 8 Roof - (cont.) Seat the remaining four trusses fully into the connectors. Attach them to the ridge using 1-1/4” screws, and to the side wall top plates using 3/4” screws through the untaped holes. The sag in the ridge and top plates is natural for now. Side Walls - Box #1 & 5 All side wall panels are identical. Position a side wall with the connectors on the inside and the metal angle on the top.
