How do I protect the timber from the weather?

Is assembly difficult?

Can I add shelving or staging to the greenhouse?

Troubleshooting
Greenhouse feels unstable.
Ensure the greenhouse is securely fixed to a level and stable base. Check that all fixings are tightened and that the pressure-treated base rail is properly seated.
Roof vent is not opening or closing properly.
Check that the roof vent is not obstructed by debris or plant growth. Ensure the automatic opener mechanism is clean and functioning freely. If mechanical, check for any signs of damage or misalignment.
Condensation is excessive inside the greenhouse.
Increase ventilation by opening the roof window and/or the main door. Ensure good air circulation, especially during warmer periods. Avoid overwatering plants.
Timber appears to be weathering or discolouring.
This indicates the need for reapplication of wood preservative and a top coat. Clean the timber surfaces and apply a suitable treatment as per the product instructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Care:
- Cleaning: Clean the glass panels periodically with a mild detergent and water using a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Wood Treatment: Reapply preservative and top coat annually or as recommended by the product manufacturer to maintain the timber's condition and appearance.
- Ventilation: Ensure the roof vent and its automatic opener are kept clear of debris to function correctly.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the structure for any signs of wear, loose fittings, or damage, addressing them promptly.
