Frequently Asked Questions

Can I put the staging on either side of the greenhouse?

Yes. You can position the staging on either side, or you can put a single tier on each side. Before you decide, remember to consider the final height of the plants you intend to grow.  

If I fix a bolt to the wrong groove, will I have to dismantle the whole greenhouse?

No. We have special T shaped bolts that twist and engage if you make a mistake.

How do I secure a greenhouse on grass?

We provide metal anchors (either 6 or 8 depending on the size of your greenhouse). Lay a foundation of 6 or 8 square foot concrete bases. Then embed the anchors in the concrete.  Full details are outlined in the instruction manual.

Is there a delivery charge?

Yes. The price will depend on your location.

Do I need specialised tools?

No, we include all the tools necessary to build the greenhouse. However, you may prefer to use a cordless drill to tighten the nuts and bolts. 

Can I move the staging after it has been installed?

Yes. You can adjust the height or move the staging to the opposite side of the greenhouse. But you have to unscrew it first.

Can I build the greenhouse on grass and concrete?

You can install your greenhouse on either grass or concrete. But some kind of foundation is preferable for added strength and durability. 

How do the automatic openers work?

The openers are filled with beeswax. As the temperature in the greenhouse rises, the beeswax expands and pushes the roof ventilators open. When the temperature drops, the beeswax contracts and the roof ventilators close.  

Will I have difficulty installing the greenhouse myself?

They are not difficult to install but like all DIY it is important that you proceed carefully following the instructions. Most likely, it will take a full day to build the greenhouse.
