5. Operating Instructions

Ventilation:

The greenhouse is equipped with 6 roll-up side windows. To regulate temperature and humidity, and to ensure proper air circulation, open these windows as needed. This also helps in preventing the buildup of excessive heat and moisture, which can be detrimental to plants.

Access:

The main entrance features a roll-up flap with a zipper. Unzip and roll up the flap to enter or exit the greenhouse, or to move larger items like gardening tools and wheelbarrows. Ensure the zipper is fully closed when not in use to maintain the internal environment.

6. Maintenance

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light penetration. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the metal frame for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts or connections.
• Cover Condition: Check the PE cover for tears or punctures. Small damages can be repaired with appropriate repair tape to prevent them from worsening.
• Anchoring Check: Verify that the ground stakes and ropes remain secure, especially after strong winds or heavy rain. Re-anchor if necessary.
• Winter Preparation: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to remove the PE cover during winter months to prevent structural damage from snow accumulation.

7. Troubleshooting

Greenhouse Instability:

If the greenhouse appears unstable, particularly in windy conditions:

• Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted and ropes are taut.
• Verify that the 15 cm base extension of the cover is properly buried in the soil.
• Check all frame connections for tightness.
• Consider adding additional anchoring points or weights in extremely windy areas.

Poor Ventilation/High Humidity:

If the interior of the greenhouse is too hot or humid:

• Ensure all 6 side windows are fully open during the day.
• Consider opening the main door for a period to allow for maximum airflow.
• Ensure plants are not overcrowded, which can restrict airflow.
