Assembly Instructions

The tectake Greenhouse features a simple plug-in system for straightforward assembly. It is recommended to have two people for assembly, especially when placing the cover.

1. Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, stable surface in your garden. Clear any debris or sharp objects.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the steel tubes using the plastic connectors to form the base rectangle of the greenhouse. Ensure all connections are secure.
3. Build the Vertical Structure: Attach the vertical support tubes to the base frame, then connect them with horizontal tubes and roof connectors to form the greenhouse's skeletal structure. The simple plug-in system ensures quick assembly.
4. Install Shelves: Place the metal storage grids onto the designated support bars within the frame. These provide additional usable space for your plants.
5. Drape the Cover: Carefully drape the UV-resistant PE film cover over the assembled frame. Ensure the zipper opening aligns with the intended entrance. It may be easier to do this with two people.
6. Secure the Cover: Fasten the cover to the frame using any integrated ties or straps. Ensure it is taut to prevent flapping in the wind.
7. Anchor the Greenhouse: Use the provided anchoring pegs and guy ropes to secure the greenhouse firmly to the ground. This is crucial for stability and protection against strong winds.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your greenhouse.

• Cleaning the Cover: Periodically clean the PE film cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and algae, ensuring maximum light penetration. Avoid abrasive cleaners or brushes that could damage the film.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly check the steel frame and connectors for any signs of rust, damage, or loosening. Tighten connections as needed.
• Anchoring Check: Verify that the anchoring pegs and guy ropes remain securely in place, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
• Winter Storage (Optional): For prolonged periods of harsh weather or if not in use during winter, consider disassembling and storing the greenhouse in a dry, sheltered location to protect the film and frame.

Troubleshooting

• Greenhouse is unstable:

  Ensure all frame connections are fully inserted and secure. Verify that the anchoring pegs and guy ropes are properly installed and taut. Relocate to a more sheltered area if strong winds are a persistent issue.

• Water pooling on roof:

  Check if the cover is stretched tightly over the frame. Adjust tension if necessary to allow water to run off. Ensure the frame is assembled correctly and not sagging.
• Excessive heat inside:

  Open the roll-up entrance to allow for better ventilation. Consider partially opening it during the hottest parts of the day to regulate temperature.

• Pests entering:

  Ensure the zipper entrance is fully closed when not in use. Inspect the cover for any small tears or gaps that could allow pests entry and repair as needed.
