Polycarbonate Panels
The UV-resistant polycarbonate panels protect against intense UV light while allowing necessary light to pass through. This makes the greenhouse ideal for cultivating plants and flowers throughout the year.

Maintenance
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the polycarbonate panels periodically with mild soap and water to remove dirt, dust, and algae buildup. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the panels.

- Panel Integrity: Check panels for cracks or damage. Replace damaged panels promptly to maintain insulation and structural integrity.
- Door and Window Mechanisms: Lubricate hinges and adjustment mechanisms annually to ensure smooth operation.
- Anchoring: Periodically check that the greenhouse remains securely anchored to the ground, especially after strong winds.
- Snow Removal: During winter, gently remove heavy snow accumulation from the roof to prevent excessive load on the structure.
