Troubleshooting

Greenhouse cover is not fitting tightly.

Ensure the frame is correctly assembled and all connectors are secure. Check that the cover is oriented correctly and pull it taut before securing all fasteners.

Greenhouse feels unstable in wind.

Anchor the greenhouse securely to the ground using stakes, ropes, or weights. Ensure the base is on level ground.

Plants inside are getting too hot.

Open the roll-up door fully for maximum ventilation. Consider placing the greenhouse in a location with partial shade during peak sun hours.

Cover seems to be degrading prematurely.

Protect the cover from prolonged direct sunlight when not in use, and store indoors during harsh weather seasons if possible. Avoid contact with sharp objects.
