Troubleshooting

Growhouse is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure the growhouse is placed on a perfectly level surface. Check that all screws and fixings are tightened securely. Use the included ground fixings to anchor the structure to the ground or surface.

Sliding doors or roof panels are difficult to move.

Check for any obstructions in the tracks, such as dirt, leaves, or debris, and clear them. Ensure the frame is square and not distorted. Gently clean the tracks and consider applying a silicone-based lubricant if necessary.

Condensation inside the growhouse.

This is normal, especially in cooler weather. Increase ventilation by slightly opening the doors or roof panels to allow moist air to escape. Ensure there is good air circulation.

Glass panels rattling in wind.

Ensure all glass clips or retaining mechanisms are correctly installed and holding the glass firmly. Check that the aluminium frame has not warped, which could create gaps.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Growhouse requires self-assembly. It comes with comprehensive instructions to guide you through the process. Ensure you have a clear, level, and firm surface for placement, such as a patio, decking, or compacted soil. Ground fixings are included to secure the structure.

Compatibility:

  • Surface: Compatible with patios, decking, paving slabs, and other firm, level ground. Not designed for uneven or soft soil without additional base preparation.
  • Optional Extras: A Deluxe Upgrade Kit is available, which includes glass middle staging and mist watering systems. These can be purchased separately to enhance functionality.
  • Color Coating: The aluminium framework can be colour coated as an optional customization.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Clean the aluminium frame and glass panels periodically with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass or damage the frame finish.
  • Maintenance: Check that all fixings remain secure, especially after strong winds. Ensure sliding mechanisms for doors and roof panels operate smoothly; clean any debris that might impede their movement.
  • Glass: While toughened, avoid direct impact on the glass panels. Clean gently to maintain clarity and light transmission.
