- Heavy-Duty Polyethylene (PE) Cover with Integrated Zippered Doors and Ventilation Windows
- Ground Stakes
- Ropes
- Fasteners and Ties
4. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly:
- Site Preparation: Choose a level, well-drained location for your greenhouse. For enhanced stability, consider digging a shallow trench (subgrade) around the perimeter where the cover will meet the ground.
- Frame Assembly: Assemble the galvanized steel pipes and connectors according to the provided diagrams (not included in this document, refer to product packaging). Ensure all connections are firm and secure. The frame is designed for strength against various weather conditions.
- Cover Installation: Carefully drape the heavy-duty polyethylene cover over the assembled frame. Ensure that the zippered doors are positioned at the desired entry points and the ventilation windows are correctly aligned along the sides.
- Securing the Cover: Fasten the cover to the frame using the provided ties and buckles. Ensure the cover is taut and evenly distributed over the frame.
- Anchoring: Securely anchor the greenhouse to the ground using the provided ground stakes and ropes. For maximum stability, especially in windy conditions, place heavy stones or sandbags along the extended bottom edge of the cover. This helps to prevent the greenhouse from lifting.

5. Operating Instructions
Maximize the benefits of your greenhouse with these operational guidelines:
- Access: The greenhouse features double zippered doors at both ends, allowing flexible entry and exit. The doors can be rolled up and secured with buckles for open access or increased ventilation.
- Ventilation: Utilize the 12 double-screened windows located on both sides of the greenhouse to regulate internal temperature and airflow. Open the windows to increase air circulation and prevent overheating, especially on warm days. The screens also help keep insects out.
- Plant Protection: The 140GSM heavy-duty polyethylene cover is designed to block harmful UV rays, provide waterproofing, and offer snowproof protection, creating an optimal environment for plant growth across various seasons and weather conditions.

6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance will extend the life of your greenhouse:
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, bending, or loose connections. Inspect the polyethylene cover for tears, holes, or general wear, especially after severe weather.
- Cleaning: Clean the polyethylene cover with mild soap and water as needed to maintain light transmission and appearance. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the material.
- Anchoring Check: Regularly verify that all ground stakes and ropes remain taut and securely fastened. Re-secure any heavy stones or sandbags if they have shifted, particularly before anticipated strong winds or storms.
- Winter Care: While the cover is designed to be snowproof, heavy snow accumulation should be gently removed from the roof to prevent excessive stress on the frame structure.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Issue | Solution |
|---|---|
| Greenhouse unstable in windy conditions. | Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted and ropes are tightly secured. Place heavy stones or sandbags along the extended bottom edge of the cover. Consider additional anchoring methods for very windy areas. |
| Cover tearing or developing holes. | Inspect for sharp edges on the frame that might be causing abrasion. Patch small tears with appropriate repair tape for polyethylene. For significant damage, contact customer support for a replacement cover. |
| Difficulty assembling frame components. | Double-check that all pipes and connectors are correctly identified and oriented according to the assembly diagrams. Ensure no components are bent or damaged. If parts are bent, contact customer support for replacements. |
| Poor ventilation or overheating inside. | Ensure all 12 windows are fully open. Consider partially opening the zippered doors for maximum airflow. |
