• Weather Conditions: In severe weather conditions (e.g., heavy snow, strong winds), consider temporarily disassembling the greenhouse or reinforcing its structure to prevent damage.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation, especially on hot days, by utilizing the roll-up windows and zippered doors to prevent overheating of plants.

4. Setup and Assembly Instructions

Follow these steps carefully for proper assembly. It is recommended to have at least two people for assembly.

1. Prepare the Site: Choose a flat, level area for your greenhouse. Clear any debris or sharp objects from the ground.
2. Assemble the Frame: Connect the powder-coated steel frame components according to the diagram. Ensure all connections are secure. The frame forms a sturdy structure as shown in the image below.

3. Install the Cover: Carefully drape the 140 GSM PE cover over the assembled frame. Ensure the zippered doors are positioned correctly at the front and back, and the roll-up windows are on the sides.
4. Secure the Cover: Fasten the cover to the frame using any integrated ties or buckles. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent flapping in the wind. The cover features a tear-resistant reinforcement grid and provides UV protection.

5. Anchor the Greenhouse: Bury the 6-inch extended edges of the cover deeply into the soil around the base of the greenhouse. This helps prevent rainwater accumulation and adds stability.
6. Stake and Rope: Use the provided 12 ground stakes and 4 ropes to firmly anchor the greenhouse to the soft ground. Attach ropes to designated points on the frame and secure them with stakes.

• Temperature and Humidity Control: Use the roll-up windows to vent moisture and control the internal temperature and humidity. Open them partially or fully depending on external conditions and plant needs.
• Air Circulation: Open the zippered doors to quickly clear out air or for quick access. Close them to trap air and maintain warmth.
• Sunlight: The 140 GSM PE cover allows approximately 85% of nourishing sunlight to pass through, promoting plant growth while offering UV protection.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan of your greenhouse.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris, ensuring maximum light penetration. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Frame Inspection: Regularly check the steel frame for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. Tighten bolts as needed.
• Cover Inspection: Inspect the cover for tears or punctures. Small tears can often be repaired with greenhouse repair tape.
• Anchoring: Ensure stakes and ropes remain firmly in the ground, especially after strong winds or heavy rain.
• Winterization: In areas with heavy snowfall, it is advisable to remove snow accumulation from the roof to prevent structural collapse. Consider disassembling the cover for storage during harsh winter months to prolong its life.

7. Troubleshooting

• Greenhouse unstable in wind: Ensure all stakes and ropes are securely fastened. Verify that the 6-inch extended edges are buried deeply in the soil. Check all frame connections for tightness.
• Poor ventilation/overheating: Fully open the roll-up windows and zippered doors to increase airflow. Consider adding a small fan if necessary for extreme conditions.
• Water accumulation on roof: Ensure the cover is taut and properly secured to the frame to prevent sagging. Verify the 6-inch extended edges are buried to direct water away from the base.
• Difficulty with zippers/windows: Ensure tracks are clear of debris. Apply a silicone-based lubricant if zippers are stiff.
