2. Setup Instructions
The EAGLE PEAK greenhouse features an innovative easy setup technology designed for quick assembly by one person. No tools are required.
Assembly Steps:
- Step 1: Open the Frame. Carefully unfold the pre-assembled steel frame. Ensure there is enough clear space around the frame for it to expand fully.
- Step 2: Push up on the Easy Peak Center-Push Mechanism. Locate the red center-push mechanism at the top of the frame. Push upwards on this mechanism to raise and lock the canopy frame into its fully extended position. This patented system allows for pinch-free operation.
- Step 3: Adjust Height or Angle (if applicable). For some models, you may adjust the height or angle for preferred shade coverage. Ensure all leg sliders are securely locked into place.
- Step 4: Secure the Greenhouse. Use the provided ground stakes and ropes to secure the greenhouse to the ground, especially in windy conditions. The greenhouse also features a skirt for ground seal, which can be weighed down with rocks or soil for added stability.

3. Operating Your Greenhouse
Your EAGLE PEAK greenhouse is designed for optimal plant growth and ease of use.
Ventilation:
The greenhouse features two zippered roll-up doors and two mesh windows. Utilize these for cross-ventilation to regulate temperature and humidity inside. Open them during warmer periods to prevent overheating and close them to retain heat during cooler times.

Space Utilization:
The 8x6 ft walk-in design provides ample space for various plants and allows for comfortable movement. You can add shelving (sold separately) to maximize your growing area.
4. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your greenhouse and ensure optimal performance.
- Ventilation: Ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating and humidity buildup, which can harm plants and create mold. Regularly open doors and windows as needed.
- Cleaning: Clean the PE cover periodically with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Snow and Ice: In areas with snowfall, regularly clear snow and ice from the roof to prevent excessive weight buildup, which could damage the frame.
- Anchoring: Periodically check the ground stakes and ropes to ensure they remain securely anchored, especially after strong winds.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, or during severe weather, it is recommended to disassemble and store the greenhouse in a dry, protected area.
5. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their solutions:
- Greenhouse Unstable in Wind: Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted and ropes are taut. Consider adding additional weight to the skirt (e.g., rocks, sandbags) or using heavier-duty anchors for increased stability.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing Frame: Check for any obstructions or debris in the frame joints. Ensure the center-push mechanism is properly aligned. Do not force the frame; gently adjust components.
- Tears or Damage to Cover: Small tears can often be repaired with greenhouse repair tape. For significant damage, a replacement cover may be necessary. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
- Excessive Humidity/Heat Inside: Increase ventilation by opening both zippered doors and mesh windows. Consider using a small fan to circulate air if natural airflow is insufficient.
