5. Operating Instructions

The Outsunny greenhouse is designed to provide a controlled environment for your plants. Effective operation involves managing ventilation and access.

5.1. Ventilation and Temperature Control

• Roll-Up Windows: The greenhouse features four roll-up windows with screens. These can be rolled up and secured to allow air circulation and release excess heat. The screens prevent pests from entering while maintaining airflow.
• Zippered Doors: The two roll-up zippered doors provide easy access and can also be used for additional ventilation. Open one or both doors to create a cross-breeze, helping to regulate internal temperature and humidity.

5.2. Plant Protection

The 2-layer 140 GSM PE cover provides protection against cold, wind, and rain, while allowing approximately 85% of nourishing sunlight to reach your plants without UV scorching. This creates an ideal environment for growing vegetables, herbs, flowers, and tropical plants.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light transmission. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly check the steel frame for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. Tighten any loose bolts or replace damaged parts as needed.
• Cover Inspection: Inspect the PE cover for tears or punctures. Small tears can often be repaired with greenhouse repair tape to prevent them from enlarging.
• Anchoring Check: Ensure ground stakes and ropes remain secure, especially after strong winds or heavy rain. Re-bury extended edges if they become exposed.
• Seasonal Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, gently remove snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight on the structure. As noted in safety, consider disassembling the greenhouse before severe weather events.

7. Troubleshooting

• Greenhouse Instability: Ensure all frame connections are tight. Verify that the extended edges of the cover are buried and ground stakes are firmly in place. Add additional anchoring if necessary, especially in high-wind areas.
• Water Leakage: While the PE cover offers protection, the greenhouse is not rated as fully waterproof. Check for any small tears in the cover that may allow water ingress. Ensure the cover is taut and properly secured to prevent pooling.
• Excessive Heat Inside: Open the roll-up windows and doors to increase ventilation. Consider adding shade cloth during peak summer months if temperatures remain too high.
• Difficulty with Assembly: Refer to the detailed assembly manual provided with your product. Ensure all parts are correctly identified and oriented. Contact customer support if a part is missing or damaged.
