Climapod Assembly Tips and Tricks
●
Prior to the assembly of the greenhouse, you should have a 10mm nut driver,
10mm open-end wrench, Phillips head and slotted screwdriver, spirit level,
ladder, needle nose pliers, flat head screwdriver, and some WD-40 lubricant.
●
Caulking Increases the structural integrity of the greenhouse and prevents
water from going into the panels. Caulking the top of the middle seam will pre-
vent algae and water buildup.
●
We recommended Henry 212 All Purpose Crystal Clear Sealant
●
The base has to be 100% level and square. The easiest way to ensure this is
to make sure that the two diagonal measurements are identical.
●
Erection of the greenhouse should only take place in calm and dry weather.
●
Pre-Assemble and caulk windows and doors before you erect the greenhouse
●
Pre thread aluminum profiles for window and door pieces to make assembly
easier
●
Keep bolts loose during assembly and avoid securely attaching (#40) before
the first panel arch has been inserted
●
It is far easier to assemble if you have an elevated surface such as two 4’×8’
pieces of plywood on a sawhorses.
