3.3 Securing the Structure
The greenhouse is designed with features to enhance wind resistance and stability:

4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Automatic Temperature Control Roof Vent
The roof vent is equipped with an automatic temperature control mechanism. One rod automatically adjusts the window angle based on the internal temperature:
- At 10°C (50°F), the window slowly closes.
- At 35°C (95°F), the window opens to a maximum angle of 35°.
An additional rod allows for manual adjustment of the window angle to suit specific ventilation needs.

4.2 Ventilation
In addition to the roof vent, the greenhouse includes an extra vent to facilitate air circulation, even when the main roof windows are closed. This helps maintain a healthy environment for your plants.
4.3 Using the Interior Space
The spacious interior provides ample room for various plants, vegetables, and flowers. The heavy-duty hooks can support up to 55 lbs each, ideal for hanging baskets, grow lights, or decorative items.

5. Maintenance
5.1 Cleaning Polycarbonate Panels
To maintain optimal light transmission, regularly clean the polycarbonate panels with a soft cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the surface.
5.2 Wood Frame Care
The cedar wood frame is naturally resistant to insects and decay. Periodically inspect the wood for any signs of wear or damage. If desired, the wood can be treated with a weather-resistant sealant to prolong its lifespan and maintain its appearance.
5.3 Winter Preparation
The greenhouse roof is designed to withstand up to 6 inches of snow. In regions with heavier snowfall, it is recommended to regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent excessive load and potential damage.
