01 INTRODUCTION CONGRATULATIONS Congratulations on purchasing a Greenhouse. Please read the assembly manual and familiarise yourself with the parts and steps before assembling your Greenhouse. NOTICE It will take at least two adults about three hours to assemble the greenhouse. Do not assemble the greenhouse if tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or medication. Follow the manual step by step. Keep this manual for future reference. IMPORTANT The Greenhouse contains parts with sharp edges.
02 BASE As per your choice, you may receive a greenhouse with or without a pre-fabricated base kit. Either way, this greenhouse must be secured to a firm base. The Base must be level and square. Before assembling the greenhouse, you must prepare a proper foundation. Two foundation options are provided in this manual. The concrete foundation option is recommended for a stronger installation. SITE SELECTION The greenhouse should be placed in an area that receives direct sunlight and gets shielded from wind.
03 SEALING Sealing the greenhouse by applying glue or tapes between the polycabonate sheets and aluminum profiles will keep insects out and provide better stability against wind. Sealant and glue gun are not included. PARTS Identify all parts using the parts list on next page and labels on the parts. Layout each part needed for a step before working on that step. MAINTENANCE Inspect the greenhouse periodically. When the greenhouse needs cleaning, use a gentle detergent.
