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.
• Rion 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 or the Modular Base (available as
an option) 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.
• Make sure that the temperature in the greenhouse never exceeds 70° C (155° F). Ensure good ventilation
during hot days or provide a shading screen. This is especially important if you live in a hot climate.
