SAFETY ADVICE
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:

service at SPS International at (800) 994-5626.
• 100% "Silicone" Sealant

solution works well)
