FAQs
What are the dimensions of the greenhouse?
The dimensions are approximately Height: 120cm, Width: 70cm, and Depth: 46cm.
Is assembly difficult?
No, assembly is designed to be simple and requires only a screwdriver. Full instructions are included.
Can this greenhouse withstand strong winds?
While the cover is durable, the lightweight frame means it is best used in a sheltered location or secured against strong winds, especially in exposed areas.
How do I clean the polypropylene cover?
Wipe the cover with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely before storing or re-covering the frame.
Can I remove the shelves?
The shelves are designed to fit into the frame, typically in two sections. Refer to the included instructions for specific shelf placement and potential removal.
Is this greenhouse suitable for all climates?
It provides a protected environment but is best suited for climates where extreme weather is not constant. It offers protection from light frost and wind but may not withstand heavy snow or extreme cold without additional measures.
Can I grow larger plants in this greenhouse?
This is a mini greenhouse, best suited for seedlings, smaller plants, herbs, and compact vegetables like tomatoes. Larger plants may outgrow the space quickly.
Troubleshooting
Cover is difficult to fit onto the frame.
Ensure the cover has been warmed to room temperature. Cold polypropylene can be stiff. Gently stretch the cover over the frame, starting from the top and working downwards.
Greenhouse feels unstable.
Verify that all frame components are securely connected and that the unit is placed on a level surface. Ensure the cover is taut and securely fastened.
Condensation is excessive inside the greenhouse.
Increase ventilation by opening the zipped door partially or fully during the day, especially on sunny or humid days. Ensure the soil is not waterlogged.
Zippers are stiff or difficult to operate.
Gently pull the zippers. If they are sticking, a small amount of paraffin wax or silicone lubricant can help. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper track.

Setup: Assembly is straightforward and requires only a standard screwdriver. Unpack all components and lay them out. Connect the frame pieces according to the included instructions.
