Setup Instructions
Follow these steps for proper assembly of your greenhouse. It is recommended to have two people for assembly.
- Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, clear, and stable location for your greenhouse. Ensure there is enough space around the greenhouse for assembly and access.
- Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the shortest steel tubes using the appropriate plastic connectors to form the rectangular base of the greenhouse. Ensure all connections are secure.
- Build Vertical Supports: Attach the vertical steel tubes to the base frame connectors. Gradually build up the side and back walls, connecting horizontal tubes as you go.
- Install Shelving: Once the main vertical supports are in place, slide the wire shelving units onto the designated horizontal bars on each side. Ensure they are level and stable.

- Assemble the Roof Frame: Connect the angled steel tubes to form the pitched roof structure. Attach these to the top of the vertical supports.
- Drape the Cover: Carefully drape the PVC cover over the assembled steel frame. Ensure the cover is centered and aligned correctly.

- Plant Placement: Utilize the four shelves for organizing plants, seedlings, and gardening tools. Place taller plants on the ground level or lower shelves.
- Watering: Water plants as needed. The transparent cover allows sunlight to reach plants while protecting them from harsh weather.
Maintenance
- Cleaning the Cover: Periodically clean the PVC cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light penetration. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Inspection: Regularly check the steel frame for any signs of rust or damage. Tighten any loose connections.
- Cover Integrity: Inspect the cover for tears or punctures. Small tears can often be repaired with specialized greenhouse repair tape.
- Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural damage. Consider disassembling and storing the greenhouse indoors during harsh winter months for extended product life.
Troubleshooting
- Greenhouse Instability: Ensure the frame is fully assembled and all connections are tight. Anchor the greenhouse securely to the ground using stakes or weights.
- Excessive Heat Inside: Open the zippered door to allow for better ventilation. Consider adding a small fan for air circulation in very hot climates.
- Water Accumulation on Cover: Ensure the cover is taut and properly draped over the frame to allow water to run off. Clear any debris that might be pooling water.
- Difficulty Zipping Door: Check for any obstructions in the zipper path. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if the zipper is stiff.
