Eden Greenhouses Capping Instruction Video

How to fit the glazing capping to your Eden greenhouse

[@robertbaldock5631]

I have just fitted this capping on a Halls Cotswold Birdlip. To do it I used my trim removal tool that I bought for removing car trim panels. I made sure the top of the capping was correctly located then with one finger on top pressing down to keep the the top of the capping in place under the lip I pressed the flat end of the plastic trim tool to push on the bottom of the capping across the glass until I felt it locate. Then moved along the capping using the trim tool to press it into place and using my finger on the top to keep the top of the capping seated correctly until I reached the other end. Once I got into a routine with it I found it worked fairly well for me. I was advised to keep the capping somewhere warm because it becomes harder when it is colder. I would have really struggled if using just my fingers to do it and the plastic trim tool was less likely to damage anything. But everyone is right the instructions are not good if you've never done it before.

The amount of force required to get these to clip in is huge. It seems like the plastic isn't springy enough. I googled for help but this video makes it look easy. So far I am finding it impossible!

It's much harder than it looks! The trick is to get the gap between the glass and frame even on both sides, which is difficult enough, then be prepared for very sore thumbs... Not impossible though.

Hopeless instructions, avoid Eden greenhouses.

I feel your pain! The instructions are really hard to follow and I have had to back-track 5 or 6 times. We are nearly there now - it has taken about 2 1/2 days work for 2 of us. A lot of that was puzzling over the instructions. We put sticky labels on many of the parts as soon as we worked out which number they were. We paid a guy to do it but he gave up after a day having done quite a lot of it. He said he hadn't done this brand before and was not impressed at how hard the instructions were to interpret. I am a very patient person but this has been trying. I am impressed with the design though, Ithink we will like it a lot once we get over this stage!
