10. Connect both diagonal connecting elements with the lower and upper horizontal
bar (using D and F)
– according to the drawing.
11. Connect the arches
– at their peak – with the central upper horizontal bar (5 + 4 + 5).
12. Secure the outlets of the frame tubes (at the shorter sides of the greenhouse) with
plugs E.
13. Tighten all the nuts F at connections of the frame tubes in order to make
the greenhouse structure properly stable.
Tighten them carefully, in order not to strip the thread.
14. Spread the reinforced plastic sheet and prepare it for pulling it onto the frame (starting
from one of the longer sides).
Pay attention to the side from which you want to have access
to the greenhouse
– the plastic sheet features an entrance closed with
a zip fastener.
15. Pull the plastic sheet onto the frame.
It is best for two people to do it, spreading the plastic sheet evenly on the frame.
16. Fix the plastic sheet to the frame tubes using the hook-and-loop fasteners sewn
in on the internal side of the plastic sheet.
17. Fix the 4 tensioning lines
– tie them using the special ears sewn in on the sides
of the plastic sheet at the extreme arches and fix them to the ground using pegs.
Before hammering the pegs into the ground, tension each of the lines uniformly.
18. In the lower part of the plastic sheet, curved outward, there are openings (3 on each
longer side and 2 on each shorter side) that you can use for stabilising and securing
the greenhouse better
– you just need to use additional lines or pegs (not included
in the set). You can also bury this lower part of the plastic sheet in soil.
19. The plastic sheet features 3 windows on each of the longer sides, secured with thick
mesh and closed using hook-and-loop fasteners. You can open these windows
according to your needs, providing the plants cultivated with proper access to fresh air.
You can secure the wound up window covers using the ribbons sewn to the plastic
sheet.
How to store:
- Before packing the greenhouse, carefully clean and dry the plastic sheet. It is best
to do it before commencing the disassembly and taking advantage of favourable weather.
- After the disassembly, clean and dry all the frame elements carefully.
- Fold the plastic sheet carefully and put it together with other parts into the original cardboard
packaging or secure it properly in another manner. Check whether you have packed
all the elements of the set.
- Store the set in a dry place, best in a closed utility room with moderate temperature.
GREENHOUSE PLACEMENT TIPS
If you intend to carry out intensive cultivation, your backyard greenhouse should be placed
at a proper spot. The plot fragment chosen for that purpose should be well insolated. It is also
recommended for it to be slightly inclined to the south.
At the same time it is necessary to remember that an excessive decline of the land may cause
minerals to be flushed away from the soil if intense watering is applied. It is recommended
