Warnings
A Mini Polytunnel or Portable Plant Protector can be
easily constructed in a couple of hours, and if you can put
together a piece of flat-pack furniture, you should have
no real trouble in constructing your Plant Protector. We
suggest performing construction in stages;
■
Find a comfy armchair and armed with a cup of
tea (Tea Bag Enclosed) familiarise yourself with the
instructions – Please use the checklist supplied with
your Plant Protector and also the diagrams at the end
of these instructions to identify the individual parts and
components.
The example shown in these instructions may not match
your order, but the same principle applies.
Introduction
■
Erect the framework.
■
When covering you will find a second pair of hands
very useful.
Taking a more logical, step by step approach allows you
to assimilate and follow the instructions better. It should
also produce an easier and hopefully a more enjoyable
experience.
