Setup and Assembly Instructions

Assembly typically requires two people and approximately 2-3 hours. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Site Selection: Choose a level, well-drained area for your greenhouse. Ensure it is protected from strong winds if possible.
2. Unpack Components: Lay out all frame pipes, connectors, and the PE cover. Verify all parts against the packing list.
3. Assemble Base Frame: Connect the shortest straight pipes to form the rectangular base of the greenhouse using the appropriate connectors.
4. Install Arch Supports: Attach the curved pipes to the base frame using connectors to form the arched structure. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Add Crossbars and Bracing: Install horizontal crossbars and any diagonal bracing pipes to enhance the frame's stability. Refer to the diagram for correct placement.
6. Drape PE Cover: Carefully drape the green PE cover over the assembled frame. Ensure the zippered door opening is at the desired front.
7. Secure Cover: Fasten the cover to the frame using the provided ties or clips. Ensure it is taut to prevent flapping in the wind.
8. Anchor to Ground: Use the provided ground stakes and ropes to firmly anchor the greenhouse to the ground. For added stability, bury the extra-long cover edges in soil or weigh them down with heavy objects (e.g., bricks).
9. Test Door and Windows: Open and close the zippered door and roll-up windows to ensure they function smoothly.

Operating Instructions

To maximize the benefits of your VIVOSUN greenhouse, follow these operational guidelines:

• Access: Use the zippered roll-up door for entry and exit. Secure the door in the open position using the ties provided for extended access or ventilation.
• Ventilation: Utilize the 8 side windows to control airflow and temperature. Roll them up and secure them to increase ventilation, especially on warm days, to prevent overheating and reduce humidity.
• Temperature Control: Monitor the internal temperature. On hot days, open windows and the door for cross-ventilation. On colder days, keep them closed to retain heat.
• Watering: Water plants as needed. The PE cover is waterproof, protecting plants from direct rain while allowing light penetration.
• Plant Placement: Arrange plants to optimize light exposure and air circulation. Consider using shelves for vertical growth.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your greenhouse:

• Cleaning the Cover: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light transmission. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly check the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, loose connections, or damage. Tighten bolts or replace damaged parts as necessary.
• Cover Integrity: Inspect the PE cover for tears or punctures. Small repairs can be made with greenhouse repair tape.
• Anchoring: Ensure ground stakes and ropes remain secure, especially after strong winds. Re-anchor if necessary.
• Winter Care: In areas with heavy snowfall, gently remove snow from the roof to prevent structural damage. Consider disassembling and storing the greenhouse indoors during severe winter conditions for prolonged durability.
