4. Package Contents
Before assembly, please ensure all parts are present and undamaged. The package should contain:
- Powder-coated steel tubes (various lengths for frame construction)
- Plastic connectors
- Transparent PE mesh cloth cover with two zippered roll-up doors
- Ties for securing roll-up doors
5. Assembly Instructions
Assembly is required for this greenhouse. Follow these general steps:
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging and lay them out. Verify that all components listed in the 'Package Contents' section are present.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the steel tubes using the plastic connectors to form the base and roof structure of the greenhouse. Ensure all connections are secure and the frame is stable. Refer to the structural diagram for guidance.
- Drape the Cover: Carefully drape the transparent PE mesh cloth cover over the assembled steel frame. Ensure the cover is oriented correctly, with the zippered doors facing the desired access points.
- Secure the Cover: Adjust the cover so it fits snugly over the frame. The cover features extended edges of 10 cm at the bottom. These edges should be buried deeply into the ground (or weighted down with heavy objects if on a hard surface) to provide additional stability and prevent wind from lifting the greenhouse.
- Test Stability: Once assembled and secured, gently push on the greenhouse to ensure it is stable and all connections are firm.

6. Operating Instructions
- Placement: Choose a location that receives adequate sunlight for your plants. The portable design allows for flexibility in placement.
- Accessing Plants: Use the two zippered roll-up doors to easily access your plants for watering, pruning, or harvesting.
- Ventilation: To provide ventilation and regulate temperature, roll up the doors and secure them with the provided ties. This allows for air circulation and prevents overheating on warm days.
- Temperature Control: Close the zippered doors at night or during colder periods to help retain heat and protect plants from frost. The PE cover's heat preservation properties will assist in maintaining a stable internal temperature.
- Protection: The PE mesh cover protects your plants from light rain, gentle winds, and birds, while its UV protection helps prevent sun damage.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning the Cover: Periodically clean the PE mesh cover with a soft cloth and mild soapy water to remove dirt and debris. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and allow it to air dry. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material.
- Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the steel frame and plastic connectors for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Tighten any loose connections.
- Ground Anchoring: Ensure the extended edges remain securely buried or weighted down, especially after strong winds or heavy rain, to maintain stability.
- Storage: If disassembling for storage, clean all parts thoroughly and store them in a dry, protected area to prevent rust and material degradation.
8. Troubleshooting
- Greenhouse is unstable: Check all steel tube connections to ensure they are fully inserted into the plastic connectors. Verify that the 10 cm extended edges are properly buried in the ground or adequately weighted down.
- Poor ventilation/overheating: Ensure both zippered roll-up doors are fully open and secured with ties to allow maximum airflow. Consider partially opening them during the day if full opening is not desired.
- Water pooling on cover: Ensure the cover is taut and properly draped over the frame to allow water to run off. Check for any sagging areas that might collect water.
- Difficulty zipping/unzipping doors: Ensure the fabric is not caught in the zipper. Apply a silicone-based lubricant to the zipper teeth if it becomes stiff.
9. User Tips
- Anchoring is Key: Several users emphasize the importance of properly anchoring the greenhouse, especially in areas prone to wind. Burying the extended edges deeply or using additional weights (like bricks or sandbags) on hard surfaces will significantly improve stability.
- Monitor Temperature: Even with ventilation, small greenhouses can heat up quickly. Use a thermometer inside and adjust door openings as needed to maintain optimal temperatures for your specific plants.
- Clear Dimensions: For planning your space, remember the overall dimensions are 180 cm (length) x 90 cm (width) x 90 cm (height).
