4. Assembly Instructions

The Sekey Mini Greenhouse is designed for easy assembly without the need for additional tools. Follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Area: Choose a flat, stable surface for assembly. Ensure adequate space around the greenhouse for access.
2. Assemble the Base Frame: Connect the base frame pieces using the appropriate plastic connectors.
3. Install Vertical Supports: Insert the vertical tubes into the base frame connectors.
4. Add Shelves: Slide the wire shelves onto the vertical supports at desired heights. Ensure they are level and secure.
5. Construct Upper Frame: Attach the remaining horizontal and vertical tubes, forming the upper structure and roof arches.
6. Drape the Cover: Carefully place the waterproof PE cover over the assembled frame. Ensure the zippers are aligned with the front opening.
7. Secure the Cover: Fasten the integrated adjustable straps to the frame for a snug fit. Ensure the extended ground-cover skirt is spread out around the base.
8. Anchor the Greenhouse: Place heavy objects (e.g., stones, bricks) on the extended ground-cover skirt to secure the greenhouse against wind and drafts. This also helps retain heat and humidity and blocks pests.

5.2 Ventilation and Temperature Control

The roll-up door provides essential ventilation. Open the door during warmer periods to prevent overheating and ensure air circulation. Close it to retain heat and humidity, especially during cooler temperatures or at night.

6. Maintenance

• Cleaning the Cover: Regularly wipe down the PE cover with a damp cloth to remove dust, dirt, and algae buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.
• Frame Inspection: Periodically check the metal frame and plastic connectors for any signs of wear, rust, or damage. Replace any compromised parts to maintain structural integrity.
• Zipper Care: Keep the zipper clean and free of debris. Lubricate with a silicone-based spray if it becomes stiff.
• Anchoring Check: Ensure the greenhouse remains securely anchored, especially after strong winds or heavy rain. Re-adjust weights on the ground-cover skirt as needed.
• Seasonal Storage: If storing the greenhouse for an extended period, clean all components thoroughly, disassemble if desired, and store in a dry, protected area away from direct sunlight.

7. Troubleshooting

• Greenhouse Instability: If the greenhouse feels unstable, ensure it is placed on a level surface and that the ground-cover skirt is fully extended and weighted down with sufficient heavy objects. Check all frame connections for tightness.
• Cover Not Fitting Properly: Ensure the frame is assembled correctly according to the instructions. The cover should be draped evenly. If the cover is too tight or loose, re-check frame dimensions and connections.
• Zipper Issues: If the zipper is stiff or stuck, clean any debris from the teeth and apply a small amount of zipper lubricant. Avoid forcing the zipper, as this can cause damage.
• Water Accumulation: Ensure the cover is taut to prevent water pooling. Check for any tears or punctures in the cover and repair them promptly to maintain waterproofing.
• Shelf Sagging: Ensure shelves are correctly seated on the frame. Do not exceed the maximum weight capacity of 22 pounds (10 kg) per shelf. Distribute weight evenly.
