Have a chat to other allotment holders. 
Perhaps one of them would lend you a hand.  We would on our site.

Have a look and see if there is a makers name on it.  If there is, you can usually find instructions online.

Good point Axe, we do try & stress how helpful your location can be in a profile.

Just a reminder that if any local member does volunteer as a result of the post,  it is against the forum rules for monies to change hands.

Hi DC... my greenhouse at the plot has no base... I raised it up on a layer of bricks to get a  bit of height and will plant straight into the ground... I will however have a table of sorts to grow the odd bit of small items in pots or bags.. My reasoning is you can get better growth from directly planting in the ground..

Right so base is down and even.Now my problem is I have lots of pieces of metal,glass and a sliding door.I can figure out where the door fits and also the parts that form the guttering at the top.Whats the best way to start?I have looked at the utube videos but they are not easy to follow
