Operating Instructions
Ventilation System
The greenhouse features an adjustable roof vent to control internal airflow. Open the vent to allow hot air to escape and fresh air to circulate, maintaining an optimal climate for your plants. Close the vent during colder periods or adverse weather conditions.

Water Management
A water gutter system is integrated along the sides of the greenhouse. This system aids in effective drainage and allows for the collection of rainwater, providing a sustainable water source for your plants. Ensure gutters are clear of debris for optimal function.

Lockable Door
The greenhouse is equipped with a lockable door for security. Ensure the door is properly closed and locked when not in use to protect your plants and maintain the internal environment.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the polycarbonate panels with mild soap and water to ensure maximum light transmission. Avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could scratch the panels.
- Frame Inspection: Periodically check the aluminum frame for any loose bolts or connections. Tighten as necessary to maintain structural integrity.
- Gutter Maintenance: Keep the water gutter system clear of leaves, dirt, and other debris to ensure efficient drainage and rainwater collection.
- Vent and Door: Lubricate hinges and moving parts of the roof vent and door annually to ensure smooth operation.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Poor ventilation/Overheating | Roof vent closed or insufficient opening. | Adjust the roof vent to allow more airflow. Consider additional shading if temperatures remain high. |
| Water leakage | Loose panels or sealant issues. | Inspect panel seating and tighten frame connections. Apply silicone sealant if necessary. |
