FAQs
How do I clean the Grow It Greenhouse Shading?
You can clean the shading by wiping it down with a damp cloth. Avoid using strong cleaning chemicals as they may damage the material or its UV treatment.
What are the dimensions of the shading?
The shading is designed to be cut to size, so it does not come in fixed dimensions. It is sold as a roll or sheet that you can tailor to your needs.
Is the shading material waterproof?
While the material is rot-proof and water-resistant, it is a mesh designed for shading and air circulation, not for waterproofing.
Can I use this shading on the inside of my greenhouse?
It is generally recommended to install the shading on the exterior of the greenhouse for the most effective protection against direct sunlight and heat buildup.
How long does the UV treatment last?
The UV treatment is designed for long-lasting performance, but its exact lifespan can depend on the intensity of sun exposure and environmental conditions.
What kind of fixtures are included?
The package includes basic fixtures and fittings designed for easy clipping and attachment to common greenhouse structures. Specific types may vary.
Troubleshooting
Shading is difficult to cut evenly.
Use a sharp pair of scissors or a craft knife on a protected surface. Ensure the mesh is laid flat before cutting.
Included fixtures do not fit my greenhouse frame.
Check the type of fixtures provided and consult your greenhouse manual for compatible attachment methods. You may need to source alternative fixings suitable for your specific frame.
Shading is flapping in the wind.
Ensure all fixtures are securely fastened and consider adding extra attachment points around the edges for added stability.
Plants still appear to be getting too much sun.
Verify that the shading covers the affected panes completely and that there are no gaps. Ensure the mesh is positioned on the exterior of the greenhouse for maximum effectiveness.
