Setup and Assembly

Assembly requires careful attention to detail. It is recommended that 2-3 people work together for efficient and safe installation. Do not fully tighten screws until the final position of all components is confirmed.

Assembly Steps:

1. Assemble the Ground Frame: Begin by connecting the base pipes to form the rectangular ground frame. Ensure all connections are secure but not fully tightened.
2. Connect Bent Pipes: Attach the bent pipe sections to both sides of the ground frame using the provided screws. These form the arched structure of the greenhouse.
3. Assemble the Crossbar on Top: Install the top crossbar(s) to connect the arched sections, providing structural integrity and preventing rain/snow buildup.
4. Cover with PE Film: Carefully drape the PE cover over the assembled frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed.
5. Secure the Cover and Frame: Once the cover is in place and the frame is correctly aligned, tighten all screws. Use the provided stakes and guy ropes to anchor the greenhouse firmly to the ground.

Proper ventilation is crucial for plant health and temperature regulation within the greenhouse.

• Mesh Windows: The greenhouse features 6 mesh windows. Roll them up and secure them with the attached buckles to allow airflow and prevent small pests from entering.
• Zippered Door: The roll-up zippered door can be opened to facilitate air circulation, especially on warmer days, and for easy access.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your VEVOR Tunnel Greenhouse.

Cover Care:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light transmission. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the cover for any tears or damage. Small tears can be repaired with appropriate greenhouse repair tape to prevent them from enlarging.
• Weather Protection: While the cover is waterproof and UV-resistant, it is not designed for extreme weather. In anticipation of heavy snow, strong winds, or hail, consider temporarily removing the cover or adding additional external reinforcement.

Frame Care:

• Tighten Connections: Periodically check all nuts and bolts and tighten them as needed to maintain the frame's rigidity.
• Rust Prevention: Although the frame is galvanized, inspect for any signs of rust, especially at connection points. Address any rust promptly to prevent degradation.

Troubleshooting

Greenhouse Instability (Wind/Weather):

• Issue: Greenhouse appears unstable or shifts in windy conditions.
• Solution: Ensure all stakes and guy ropes are securely fastened and properly tensioned. For areas prone to strong winds, consider additional anchoring methods such as sandbags, concrete blocks, or securing the base to a permanent foundation. Some users have found success by adding internal wooden supports or external bracing for increased stability.

Water Accumulation on Cover:

• Issue: Water pools on the greenhouse cover, especially after rain.
• Solution: Ensure the PE cover is pulled taut over the frame during installation. Any slack can lead to water pooling. Re-adjust and re-secure the cover if necessary. The dome design is intended to prevent buildup, but proper tension is key.

Zipper Malfunction:

• Issue: The door zipper becomes difficult to operate or separates.
• Solution: Operate the zipper gently. Avoid forcing it. If it separates, try to realign the zipper teeth. Regular cleaning of the zipper path can prevent debris from causing issues.
