Assembly

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this document

including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

IMPORTANT–READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

• The first step in assembly is to assemble a proper base. The greenhouse must be properly

supported to help prevent property damage and injury in the event of strong winds or

inclement weather. Wind and ground conditions may vary from site to site, and may affect

the practicality and effectiveness of anchoring methods substantially. If you have any doubt

regarding the stability of the base/foundation you are to use, consult a professional.

• It is always your responsibility to ensure that the greenhouse is properly anchored.

Harbor Freight Tools cannot be held responsible for personal injury, damage to the greenhouse,

or other property damage that occurs as a result of improperly anchoring the greenhouse.

• Be certain to check with local authorities to obtain all required building permits

and to familiarize yourself with any building codes that may apply.

• Decide on a location for the greenhouse. The location should optimally be a

level, well-lit area that is sheltered from the wind. The door of the greenhouse

should not open towards the prevailing wind, if possible.

IMPORTANT ASSEMBLY TIPS

• Assemble Bolts with their heads facing the outside of the greenhouse, unless stated otherwise.

Tighten Nuts (67) only about 1/4 turn past finger-tight; be careful not to overtighten.

• Lay out all parts by number prior to assembly.

• At least two assistants will be necessary during assembly.

• Assemble on a clear, calm day. Wind will damage the Greenhouse and make assembly difficult.
