Assembly

Prior to assembling the greenhouse, contact your community building commission to determine if a building permit is required. Place your FlowerHouse greenhouse on flat, even ground and if possible raised above the surrounding ground. This will allow for good drainage of rainwater. As you water plants it is impossible not to get water on the ground. To avoid a muddy floor, cover it with pea rock, fieldstone, bricks, gravel, or mulch. Choose an area where there will be maximum sun exposure. Once your greenhouse is erected, secure it using the high-wind tie-downs and all supplied stakes. Along the bottom, place heavy materials on the exterior and interior skirting. Use decorative materials such as stones, bricks, landscaper timers, potted plants to weigh it down. Make sure the shelving is secured before installing any shelving or plant benches.

Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning - With a low pressured sprayer, hose down the walls to get rid of dirt and dust. If mold and mildew has grown, wash away with warm water and mild soap (such as dish soap).
  Do not use detergents when washing the greenhouse as they are abrasive and can damage the fabric.
  
• Snow Accumulation  - In heavy wet snow and ice storms pay attention to the load on the roof. It is recommended that you clear any accumulation frequently. For smaller models wipe or use a soft brush to clear. With larger models walk inside and slap the roof to clear.
• Preparing For Storage - Before storing your FlowerHouse greenhouse make sure it is clean and completely dry. Mold and mildew may grow and stain your greenhouse if it is stored wet or damp.
