IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ BEFORE BEGINNING ASSEMBLY

Before you begin take time to complete this check list.

Take inventory of all parts using the parts list at the back of this manual, each piece should be labeled with a part number.

Be cautious where you place the polycarbonate panels as they will burn grass or plants if left on top of them in direct sunlight. Note that clear film side of panels should always face the sun and opal film side faces inside greenhouse.

Plan out when and where you are going to place the greenhouse, we recommend that you place it in an area that will receive direct sunlight and will be protected from the wind as much as possible

It will take at least (2) people to put the greenhouse together.

Before your build, make sure you are allowed to build it! Consult all building codes, as well as City or Municipality ordinances and HOA’s, as you may need a permit or documentation before you build.

Contact your insurance company to make sure your Grandio Greenhouse will be covered on your policy.

Call your local utilities companies before digging.

Do not attempt to begin construction on a windy day.

Your greenhouse should be built on a flat level surface allowing for drainage.

Read this entire manual to get familiar with all pieces and parts prior to beginning assembly. Follow the steps outlined in the order presented!

IMPORTANT! SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE WARNINGS MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR

PROPERTY DAMAGE AND WILL VOID WARRANTY.

To ensure safety, do not attempt to assemble this product without following the instructions carefully. Check entire box and inside all packing material for parts and/or additional instruction materials. Before beginning assembly, read the instruc-

tions and identify all parts using the hardware identifier and parts list on pages 35-40. Complete assembly and proper usage are essential to reduce the risk of accident or injury when using your Grandio Greenhouse.

CAUTION:

Do not leave polycarbonate panels laying on grass or leave in the sun or extreme heat, keep in a cool

dry place until they are to be installed!! (May cause burning to plants or grass if left directly on top of them, also may damage panels due to the protective film adhering to panels.)

• Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all polycarbonate sheet edges before installing. Remove all protective film immediately after the construction is completed.

Clear film side of panels should always face the sun and opal film side faces inside.

• Due to shipping, the grooves of some of the aluminum profiles may be too small to insert into the polycarbonate sheet, you may carefully use a screwdriver to pry the framework open so the polycarbonate sheet can be inserted smoothly.

• Do not use or store hot objects such as grills, blow torches, welding equipment, etc. in or near your greenhouse.

• Do not allow children or pets to play in greenhouse or in the set up area until assembly is complete.

• If using a ladder during assembly, use extreme caution.

• Clean level surface is essential to maintaining the solid integrity of the structure, Install the base correctly as described in manual. Please anchor the greenhouse down to a firm and level base.

TOOLS YOU WILL NEED FOR ASSEMBLY

• Outdoor Construction Adhesive or Silicone Caulk

• Tape Measure

• Level

• Carpenter Square

• At Least 2 Adults

PREPARE A FOUNDATION FOR YOUR

GRANDIO GREENHOUSE

Before assembling your new greenhouse a proper foundation must be prepared. A number of anchoring options are acceptable, based on wind and ground conditions in your area.

It is extremely important to have the area prepared and leveled for installation of your greenhouse prior to starting the assembly of your Grandio Greenhouse.

Decide at this time the final orientation of your

Greenhouse. We recommend that you place your greenhouse in a location where it will receive the most direct sunlight and will be best protected from wind and storm conditions.

Go to www.grandiogreenhouses.com for foundation ideas and tour our online learning center for tips and tricks for putting your greenhouse together.
