4. Setup and Assembly
Follow these steps for proper assembly of your tunnel greenhouse. It is recommended to assemble the greenhouse on a flat, level surface with sufficient space.
- Prepare the Site: Choose a suitable location, clear of debris, and ensure the ground is level. Consider sun exposure and wind direction.
- Assemble the Frame: Connect the galvanized steel tubes according to the provided diagram. Ensure all connections are secure using the supplied screws and bolts. The frame features 25mm diameter, 0.6mm thick reinforced tubes for stability.
- Attach the Cover: Carefully drape the 140 g/m² anti-UV polyethylene cover over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed. The cover is designed with prolonged edges for optimal ground anchoring.
- Secure the Cover: Use the innovative clamp system to firmly attach the cover to the tubular chassis. Ensure all clamps are tightly fastened to prevent the cover from shifting in the wind.
- Install Doors: Attach the two hinged door panels at the designated ends of the greenhouse. Ensure they open and close smoothly and that the handles and closing cords are functional.
- Ground Anchoring: Bury the prolonged edges of the cover into the soil and use the provided ground anchoring stakes and ropes to secure the entire structure firmly to the ground. This is crucial for stability.
5. Operating Instructions
The Outsunny tunnel greenhouse is designed to create an optimal environment for plant growth. Here are guidelines for its effective use:
- Ventilation: The greenhouse features two doors with hinges, handles, and closing cords, allowing for optimal ventilation. Open the doors during warm periods to regulate temperature and humidity, preventing overheating and promoting air circulation.
- Plant Cultivation: Utilize the 12m² ground surface for cultivating a variety of plants, including flowers, vegetables, and fruits. The greenhouse provides protection against adverse weather conditions, birds, and harmful UV rays.
- Temperature Control: Monitor the internal temperature. In colder weather, keep doors closed to retain heat. In warmer weather, ensure adequate airflow to prevent heat stress on plants.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Outsunny tunnel greenhouse and ensure its continued performance.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check all frame connections for tightness. Tighten any loose screws or bolts. Inspect the galvanized steel for any signs of rust or damage.
- Cover Care: Inspect the polyethylene cover for tears, punctures, or excessive wear. Minor damage can often be repaired with specialized greenhouse repair tape. Clean the cover gently with mild soap and water to remove dirt and algae, which can reduce light transmission. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Anchoring Check: Regularly verify that the ground anchors and ropes are secure, especially after strong winds or heavy rainfall. Re-anchor if necessary.
- Snow Removal: In areas with heavy snowfall, gently remove accumulated snow from the greenhouse roof to prevent structural damage due to excessive weight.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter with your greenhouse:
- Greenhouse Instability: If the greenhouse feels unstable, immediately check all frame connections and ground anchors. Ensure all screws are tightened and ground stakes are firmly in place. Re-bury the prolonged edges of the cover if they have become exposed.
- Cover Damage (Tears/Punctures): Inspect the cover for the source of the damage. For small tears, use a durable greenhouse repair tape. For larger damage, consider replacing the cover if available.
- Poor Ventilation/Overheating: Ensure both doors are fully open during warm periods to allow for maximum airflow. If plants are still overheating, consider adding additional shading during peak sun hours.
- Water Accumulation on Roof: Ensure the cover is taut and properly secured to prevent water from pooling, which can cause sagging or damage. Adjust clamps and anchoring ropes as needed.
