HELPFUL HINTS & ADVICE

Please take your time and be sure to read all instructions carefully before assembling. The Polycarbhouse structure does often
require at minimum an “experienced DIY” type person or a semi-skilled builder to assemble.

Locate the Polycarbhouse in a sheltered or semi-sheltered position. PolyCarb is a fragile product and strong winds, or flying
debris could potentially damage the PolyCarb sheeting. Secure the roof vents in a closed position, close doors & windows if very
windy. A shelter belt should be considered to protect the Polycarbhouse and plants within in windy locations.

Do not assemble the frame or attempt to glaze in windy, or damp conditions

The Polycarbhouse frame must be anchored to a permanent foundation / base. This will not only help secure it against strong
winds, but will help prevent breakage of the PolyCarb via ground movement. Materials for the base are optional & are not
supplied as part of this kitset.

When building your own timber/brick/concrete foundations/base ensure that they are level and square and built to the correct
outside measurements otherwise your frame will not be correct and the PolyCarb will not fit.

Be sure all four corners of the constructed Polycarbhouse are square before installing any PolyCarb, and do not install the
PolyCarb until the Polycarbhouse is secured onto a permanent foundation/base.

Do not place your Polycarbhouse in vulnerable locations such as under trees, near children’s playing areas, upon loose soils, in
an open exposed place with open field or distant views.

Be careful when using agricultural chemicals such as fertilizers, fungicides and insecticides etc. in the Polycarbhouse. Do not use
chemicals that are for outside use only. Always read the labels very carefully.

Do not push or lean on the PolyCarb panels. Do not lean weighty objects onto the PolyCarb. Use extra care when moving heavy
or awkward objects such as tables, poles, internal frames etc. within or near the Polycarbhouse.

Do not latch the door when anybody is inside the Polycarbhouse. Do not occupy the Polycarbhouse in times of high wind or
poor weather (hail etc)

Be aware of the increased temperature in the Polycarbhouse on a sunny day & allow for shading, or extra ventilation for these
higher temperatures.

Do not keep pets or other animals in the Polycarbhouse & try to prevent their entry.

When cleaning PolyCarb, do not exert too much pressure onto the PolyCarb.

Remember to fit the silver aluminium tape to the top edges of the polycarbonate sheeting before fitting them to the
greenhouse

Fit the 20mm square strongbacks (include a 75mm piece of the 20mm x 3mm white double sided tape at each end) after
installing the polycarbonate sheeting.
