4.2. Cover Installation
- Drape PE Cover: Carefully drape the 140 gsm PE cover over the assembled steel frame. Ensure it is centered and evenly distributed.
- Secure Cover: Tie down the cover to the frame using the integrated ties or straps. Ensure the cover is taut to prevent flapping in the wind.
- Install Sunshade Net: Position the sunshade net over the PE cover, securing it in place with the provided attachments. This net is crucial for blocking up to 80% of harmful UV rays during intense sunlight.
- Anchor to Ground: Utilize the U-shaped ground stakes and guy ropes to firmly anchor the greenhouse frame to the ground. The extended cover edges can be buried in the soil or weighted down with heavy objects for enhanced stability and airtightness.

5. Operating Instructions
Proper operation of your greenhouse ensures optimal growing conditions for your plants.
- Ventilation: The greenhouse features two roll-up doors and six roll-up mesh windows. Open these as needed to provide cross-ventilation and regulate internal temperature and humidity. The mesh layer helps keep unwanted insects out while allowing air circulation.
- Sunshade Management: During periods of intense sunlight, deploy the sunshade netting to reduce UV exposure and prevent plant scorching. Remove or roll up the netting when more sunlight is desired or during cooler periods.
- Access: Use the large, zipped roll-up doors for easy access to tend to your plants, water, and fertilize without excessive bending.

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and effectiveness of your greenhouse.
- Cover Cleaning: Periodically clean the PE cover with mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and algae buildup, which can reduce light transmission. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Frame Inspection: Regularly inspect the galvanized steel frame for any signs of rust, damage, or loose connections. Tighten bolts and nuts as necessary.
- Anchoring Check: Ensure ground stakes and guy ropes remain firmly anchored, especially after strong winds or heavy rainfall. Re-secure if needed.
- Zipper Care: Keep zippers clean and lubricated to ensure smooth operation and prevent damage.
- Winter Preparation: In areas with heavy snowfall, regularly clear snow from the roof to prevent excessive weight accumulation, which could damage the frame.
7. Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Greenhouse unstable in wind | Insufficient anchoring; loose frame connections. | Ensure all ground stakes are fully inserted and guy ropes are taut. Bury extended cover edges or weigh them down. Tighten all frame bolts. |
| Poor ventilation / High humidity | Doors and windows closed; inadequate air circulation. | Open roll-up doors and windows to allow for cross-ventilation. Consider using a small fan if natural airflow is insufficient. |
| Plants scorching / Too much sun | Sunshade netting not deployed or insufficient. | Ensure the sunshade netting is properly installed and covering the greenhouse during peak sunlight hours. |
| Water leakage | Cover not properly secured; damage to PE cover. | Check that the PE cover is taut and securely fastened to the frame. Inspect the cover for tears or punctures and repair if necessary. |
