On my installation, the hinges did not lay quite flat against the framing. And if you install a spacer behind the hinge it can interfere with installation of the polycarbonate panel. I simply left this slight angle in the hinge installation and the door works fine. After all the hinges are bolted up, test the door to insure it swings freely and remains lined up with the surrounding framework. A) You can now begin to assemble the aluminum framing pieces following the directions in the greenhouse kit. This aluminum greenhouse lets you grow vegetables, plants and flowers out of season.

I chose to erect mine using the 4-pier technique but other foundations are just as effective and directions for laying out various foundations are provided in the assembly instructions.

The completed door is shown in the photos from the outside and inside. When the aluminum framework is complete, use a saber saw or reciprocating saw to cut through the aluminum base plate and finish the cuts you made earlier in the front 2x12 sill to open up the doorway section. You can also use an angle grinder, as I did, with a metal cutting blade to cut the aluminum base piece. The final photo shows what your structure should look like at this juncture.

Utilizing a double-extruded aluminum frame, this greenhouse also features two sliding doors for easy access, UV-coated polycarbonate panels and four vents to ensure proper conditions. A) Put together the aluminum door frame following the instructions in the HF manual. Do NOT install the door hanging hardware (pieces labeled 14 & 19 in my kit). Remove the rubber seal which will most likely be pre-installed on each side of the door frame. The seal can be easily pulled out of the channel from either end.B) Attach three hinges to the left hand side of the door frame.
Step 4: Opening Up the Doorway
Since our new door sits about 12" higher off the ground than the original, we have a rather large gap left open at the bottom of the door. We want ventilation anyhow, so this gap is covered with two layers of 6 mil UV film. The film is slit approximately every 3 inches and the slits are offset to reduce air flow.
I used Everbilt “Narrow Utility Hinges” (shown in photo) which are about 3/4" wide and 2 ½" tall. The door frame itself has a small channel milled into the aluminum and a spacer is required so that the hinge will lay flat. Before hanging the door, cut off the small plastic tabs which protrude from the bottom of the door. These are guides used to keep the sliding type door in the bottom track and will interfere with the door being opened when using a hinged configuration.
Step 6: Apply the UV Resistant Skin.

Make sure the bottom of the door is even with the bottom of the framing side pieces (#s 6 and 7) to insure it will open and close properly. Swing the hinges so they are against the outside of the aluminum framework around the door opening. Using the hinge holes as guides, drill mounting holes through the frame.
I used wire shelving (available at hardware and building centers) for the benches and shelves. You can use wood but the wire shelving creates fewer shadowed areas which reduce sunlight to the plants. The top shelf is two side-by-side units each 12" wide. They rest on 2x2's which are screwed to my 2x4 framework for support. To allow the shelving to sit level, a 5/8" wide groove must be cut down the center support for the main wire rods to fit into.
To make the door latchable, the center panel of the door needs to be reinforced a bit. The inside handle is mounted as the directions provide. The latch is bolted to the aluminum framework using #8 bolts and nuts.
