Greenhouse Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance of your greenhouse will help to insure years of service. The following
items identify areas that must be periodically checked to ensure that your greenhouse is maintained
properly:
•
Regularly check the cover to see that it is tight and in proper repair. Tighten and adjust the
tension as needed to prevent damage and wear.
•
Check the cable turnbuckles and cable clamps to see that these remain tight. Tighten as
needed. Some greenhouses do not include cabling systems.
•
Check connections and all fasteners to verify that they remain tight.
•
Check the polycarbonate panels (if equipped) to verify that these are in good repair.
•
Do not climb or stand on the greenhouse at anytime.
•
Remove debris and objects that can accumulate on the greenhouse. Use tools that will not
damage the cover when removing debris.
•
Remove snow to prevent excess accumulation. Use tools that will not damage the cover
when removing snow.
•
Check the contents of the shelter to verify that nothing is touching the cover that could cause
damage.
•
If the shelter is moved, inspect all parts and connections before using.
•
Depending on the contents, construction of the shelter, shelter materials, and shelter location,
the potential for condensation exists. ClearSpan™ offers several items that can be used to
alleviate a condensation condition. Please contact a ClearSpan™ representative for
additional information.
