FAQs

What are the exact dimensions of the growhouse?

The dimensions are 300cm in length, 100cm in width, and 80cm in height.

Is the PVC cover waterproof?

Yes, the PVC cover provides protection against rain and water.

Can this growhouse be used year-round?

It is suitable for extending the growing season and overwintering plants, but for very harsh winter conditions, additional protection or bringing plants indoors might be necessary.

How do I secure the growhouse against wind?

It is recommended to use stakes, pegs, or weights to firmly anchor the growhouse to the ground, especially in exposed locations.

What kind of maintenance does the PVC cover require?

The cover should be cleaned periodically with mild soap and water. It's also advisable to check for and repair any tears.

Can I fit tall plants inside?

The height of 80cm allows for medium-height plants. For very tall plants, consider their mature size before placing them inside.

Does it come with a foundation or base?

No, this growhouse typically does not include a foundation and is designed to be placed directly on the ground or a prepared base.

Troubleshooting

Growhouse is unstable in wind.

Ensure the growhouse is adequately anchored to the ground using stakes, weights, or by securing it to a permanent structure.

PVC cover is dirty.

Clean the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Plants are overheating.

Open the front and any available vents during warmer parts of the day to allow for air circulation. Consider adding additional ventilation if necessary.

Frame poles are difficult to connect.

Ensure poles are clean and free of debris. Sometimes a gentle tap or wiggling motion can help them fit together securely.
