Step 1: Choose a Location
The success of your Greenhouse largely depends on its location. Select a flat, well-drained area that receives ample sunlight throughout the day. Ensure easy access for watering and maintenance, as you’ll be spending a lot of time caring for your plants here.
Step 2: Prepare the Ground
Prepare the ground by clearing away any debris, rocks, or unwanted vegetation. To minimize weed growth and make maintenance easier, consider laying down ground cover or landscape fabric.
Step 3: Assemble the Frame
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions to assemble the frame of your Agri Greenhouse Tunnel, using the provided 38mm x 2mm mild steel painted silver arches and 48mm x 2mm mild steel painted silver poles.
This typically involves connecting frame pieces using nuts, bolts, and washers. As you go, use a level to ensure the frame is both square and level.
Step 4: Anchor the Frame
Prevent your Agri Greenhouse Tunnel from becoming a kite in the wind by securely anchoring it to the ground. Use ground stakes or anchors, ensuring they are firmly in place.
Step 5: Install Support Pipes
For added stability, you can install support pipes along the length of the greenhouse. These can be PVC or metal pipes placed inside the frame to reinforce its structure.
Step 6: Attach the Cover
Carefully drape the greenhouse cover over the frame, ensuring it is centered and properly aligned. Most covers come with straps or ropes to help secure them to the frame. Start at one end and work your way to the other, tightening as you go.
Step 7: Secure the Cover
Use the provided hardware or clips to secure the 200-micron plastic cover to the frame. Pay special attention to the corners and edges to prevent wind from getting under the cover.
Step 8: Ventilation and Access
If your Greenhouse has roll-up sides or roof vents, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to install them for proper ventilation. Additionally, ensure there is a 1.9m x 2m door with free installation for convenient access.
Step 9: Interior Setup
Now that your cover is secure, it’s time to set up the interior of your Greenhouse. Install shelving, benches, and any other accessories you need to create an optimal growing environment for your plants.
Step 10: Maintenance
Regularly inspect your Greenhouse tunnel for any damage to the cover or frame. Keep it clean and well-ventilated, and monitor temperature and humidity to maintain the ideal conditions for your plants.
