GENERAL ADVICE

CARE & MAINTENANCE

See next page for complete list of parts

•  Do not attempt to assemble the greenhouse in 

windy or wet conditions.

•  Take special care not to touch overhead power 

cables with aluminum profiles.

•  Ensure that there are no buried pipes or cable in 

the ground before inserting the ground stakes.

•  Always wear shoes and saftey goggles during 

assembly.

•  We strongly recommend the use of work glove 

during assembly as aluminum profiles may have 

sharp edges.

•  Dispose of plastic bags and protective poly film 

covers safely - keep them out of reach of small 

children.

•  The greenhouse must be positioned and 

anchored 

on a flat, level surface.

•  Do not lean on or push against the greenhouse 

during construction.

•  Keep children away from assembly area - many 

parts may have sharp edges.

•  Do not position your greenhouse in an area 

exposed to heavy wind.

•  Do not attempt to assemble the greenhouse if 

your are tired, have taken drugs or alcohol or if 

you are prone to dizzy spells.

•  If you use a step ladder, carefully follow the 

manufacturer's instructions.

•  Hot items such as recently used grills, 

blowtorches, etc. must not be stored in the 

greenhouse.

•  Before beginning the assembly process, 

confirm that all necessary parts have been 

included in the package. It is advisable to lay the 

parts out in an orderly fashion according to the part 

numbers so that parts can be easily identified 

during the assembly process. If parts are missing, 

contact SPS International at (800) 994-5626.

•  This is a multi-part assembly. Allow at least 8 to 

10 hours to assemble from start to finish. Do 

not begin assembly if heavy winds or rains are 

expected within 14 hours.

•  Choose a sunny level location for your 

greenhouse, away from overhanging trees.

•  You can opt to anchor your greenhouse to a 

concrete floor, or you can use the supplied anchor 

kit to anchor to soil or turf. If you intend to anchor 

your greenhouse directly to concrete, you must 

purchase separately concrete anchor screws.

•  It is advisable to use lubricant to ease the 

connection between aluminum profiles and panel 

(a mild soap and water solution is useful for this).

•  We strongly advise that you keep the special 

poly-film protective covers on the side panels and 

the first row of roof panels until the greenhouse is 

fully assembled. You should however remove the 

poly-film prior to installing the very top roof panels. 

Also, if the panels will be in the direct sun, the 

protective film should be removed. Otherwise the 

film may become irreversably bonded to the 

polycarbonate panel.

•  Keep roof clear of snow and leaves.

•  Use mild soap and water and a soft cloth to wash 

greenhouse glazing panels. Rinse with cold water.

•  Do not use acetone, abrassive cleaners or 

sponges, or other amonia-based cleaners to clean 

the clear panels.

•  Some chemicals and cleaners can be agressive to 

the clear panels, which are made of 

polycarbonate. For a complete list of chemical 

compatibility, visit:
