Safety First

• Check the contents of the greenhouse packaging against the packing list and the required parts for your 

model on page 4 and following. 

Do not begin assembly if any parts are missing.

• Please read these 

Assembly Instructions

 completely before assembly and keep them in your records so you 

can refer to them if you wish to add options or make repairs.

• The instructions in this manual lead you through each step in the assembly process. It is important for you to 

follow them closely.

• We recommend that you use gloves during assembly.

• EcoGrow is not responsible for the misuse of tools or parts.

• If local building codes require permits or licenses make sure that they are acquired before beginning.

• Your Greenhouse should be securely anchored to the prepared foundation using the recommended 

hardware.

• If you prepare a concrete foundation do not excavate and pour concrete in frozen ground.

• Exercise caution when lifting heavy assemblies.

• Do not attempt to assemble your Greenhouse in high winds.

• We recommend that you place your Greenhouse in a spot where it will receive direct sunlight and will be 

protected from the wind as much as possible. The door should not face prevailing winds.

• When your Greenhouse is fully assembled examine it for sharp edges and trim with a razor knife if 

necessary.

• Close all roof vents in high winds.

• It is important to clear your Greenhouse of snow in the winter.

• If you live in a hot climate, where outside temperatures exceed 46° C (115° F) in the sun or 36° C (99° F) in 

the shade, this may cause the temperature inside the greenhouse to exceed 55° C (131° F). Such conditions 

may harm your plants and will damage the greenhouse by warping structural profiles. In order to prevent 

damage: 

• Ensure good ventilation during hot days.

• Make sure that the temperature inside the greenhouse never exceeds 55° C (131° F) by providing a 

shading screen, such as the Rion ShadeNet (available as an option).

Note: 

EcoGrow is not responsible for any damage due to high temperatures.

Required Tools

Before you start assembly have the following available:
• Measuring  tape

• Level

• Scissors

• Gloves

• Razor  knife

Note: 

You may find some parts easier to assemble if you first moisten them with soapy water.

Accessories

EcoGrow offers a wide range of accessories for your greenhouse from modular bases for the foundation, 

automatic window openers, and shelving for your plants.
