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 - the
aluminum profiles 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 4 hours
to assemble from start to finish. Do not begin
assembly if heavy winds or rains are expected
within 10 hours.
• Choose a sunny
level
location for your greenhouse,
away from overhanging trees.
• You can opt to use the base brackets supplied to
anchor your greenhouse to a concrete floor, or you
can use the base supplied base kit
(see steps 36
through 38)
. If you intend to anchor your
greenhouse directly to concrete, you must
purchase separately concrete anchor screws for
use with part number
24
anchor brackets. The area
required for the greenhouse including anchor
brackets is 104.5" (266cm) length x 83" (212cm)
width.
• 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).
• Note that the door is permanently hinged on the right
hand side and therefore opens out and to the right.
• We strongly advise that you keep the special poly-
film protective covers on the side panels and the
first row of roof panels until that greenhouse is fully
assembled. You should however remove the poly-
film prior to installing the very top roof panels.
• 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.
