4. Setup

Assembly of the EAGLE PEAK Tunnel Greenhouse is designed to be straightforward and requires no tools. Follow these steps for proper setup:

2. Install Vertical Supports: Insert the vertical poles into the T-connectors and 4-way cross connectors on the base.
3. Attach Roof Structure: Connect the curved poles and remaining straight poles using the Y-connectors and 3-way cross connectors to form the arched roof structure.
4. Drape the Cover: Carefully place the PE cover over the assembled frame. Ensure the zippered doors are positioned correctly.
5. Secure the Cover: Use the integrated ties on the cover to secure it to the frame.

5. Operating Instructions

Proper operation ensures optimal plant growth and greenhouse longevity.

• Ventilation: Utilize the two zippered roll-up doors to control airflow and temperature inside the greenhouse. Roll them up during warmer periods for ventilation and roll them down to retain heat.
• Humidity Control: To increase humidity, place a container of water inside the greenhouse. This is particularly beneficial for tropical plants or seedlings.
• Plant Placement: Arrange plants to maximize sunlight exposure and allow for adequate air circulation. The three sections of the greenhouse provide ample room for various plants.
• Environmental Protection: The PE cover provides cold protection, UV resistance, and water resistance, creating a stable environment for your plants.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the life of your greenhouse.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to ensure maximum light penetration. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly check all pole connections and connectors for tightness and stability. Re-secure any loose parts.
• Cover Integrity: Inspect the PE cover for any tears or damage. Small tears can be repaired with greenhouse repair tape to prevent further damage.
• Anchoring: Ensure the ground stakes remain firmly in place and any additional weights are secure, especially after strong winds.
• Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and lubricated if necessary to ensure smooth operation.

7. Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Greenhouse unstable in wind: Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted. Place additional heavy objects (e.g., bricks, large stones) on the fabric skirt around the base. Consider using additional ropes or ties to secure the frame to a fixed structure.
• Zippers are stiff or stuck: Clean any dirt or debris from the zipper teeth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant or zipper wax to improve movement. Avoid forcing the zipper.
• Cover does not fit correctly: Double-check that the frame is assembled according to the instructions and that all poles are fully inserted into their connectors. Ensure the cover is oriented correctly before attempting to secure it.
• Insufficient heat retention: Ensure all doors are fully zipped down and secured. Check for any gaps or tears in the cover. Placing containers of water inside can help absorb heat during the day and release it slowly at night.
