Dear Customer!
We would like to congratulate you on your new Greenhouse purchase.
We hope that by following the detailed assembly instructions you will find as much pleasure in assembly process
same as the time you will spend in your greenhouse in the future.
The assembly instructions mainly consist of detailed illustrations and no specific technical knowledge is required
for the assembly of the greenhouse.
Depending on the model & accessories package you purchased you may have received multiple packages. The
main ClimaPod house (not counting in accessories or extended models) has three main master packages:
- Straight Frame & Base
- Panels
- Curved Frame
7’ Extension Set also come in three different packages.
The aluminum base, straight frame profiles, as well as supporting hardware are packed in one carton. The
greenhouse curved frames or “arches”are packed in a curved shape package.
All the polycarbonate panels are packed in one carton.
All of the aluminum profiles are marked with a part number corresponding to the numbers given on the draw-
ings and listed on the parts list. Nuts, bolts, and fittings will be found in the relevant package.
All of the rear gable section straight frames are in package No.1
All of the front gable section straight frames are in package No.2
All of the roof/side wall section straight frames are in package No.3
All of the frames and components for the window are in package No.4
All of the frames and components for the door are in package No.5
Each of the polycarbonate panels have are labeled with item number corresponding to the instructions. You
may also differentiate them by their size and shape. Note: once you get to insert the polycarbonate panels,
make sure to have the side with opal white film facing outside.
Accessories
Modular Organics LCC (ClimaPod) offers a wide range of accessories which contribute to a better yield and
make life easier for the gardener. A selection of the range is shown in the supplements to these instructions. Upon
the request, your local dealer mayprovide you with more information about available accessories. You mayalso
refer to our main website www.ClimaPod.com for more information.
Winter Protection
In areas where snow might be expected we recommend the following in order to protect your green- house:
1. Support the ridge at the center of the greenhouse.
2. Remove larger snow loads by sliding them down the sides.
3. Take precautions against snow falling down.
Complaints
Weput severe demands on quality to secure that you get a faultless product. However, should a problem occur,
we kindly ask you to contact the dealer from whom you have bought the greenhouse. For a quick service, you
should specify the extent of the defect by means of the parts list in the assembly instructions. Please
also note to mention the model number which is marked on the front page of these instructions.
Guarantee
Wegrant a 10 year comprehensive guarantee which covers replacement or repairs of defective parts due to ma-
terial or manufacturing defect. The guarantee does not cover polycarbonate, transport, erection. The guarantee
is invalid if the greenhouse is not assembled according to these instructions.
Insurance
Not all insurance companies automatically cover greenhouses.We strongly recommend you contact your insur-
ance agent to ensure that your greenhouse is added to the coverage once assembled.

Statement
Tips
1. The base has to be fastened in a non-freezing depth(80cm).
2. The greenhouse is to be fastened to the base.
3. The base has to be 100% level and square. The easiest way to ensure this is to make sure that the
two diagonal measurements are identical.
4. We recommend that you grease screws for doors and windows for easier assembly.
5. Erection of the greenhouse should only take place in calm and dry weather.
6. All frames are to be assembled around the polycarbonate as shown on the drawings. We recom-
mend that you start with the back gable.
7. IMPORTANT Before assembling aluminum base, the end trough centers of four legs should match
both end trough centers of side sills and front & rear sills at the same time.
Remove approximately 2
inches of film from all
sheet edges before in-
stalling. Remove all film
immediately after the con-
structions is completed.
The UV-protected side of
the sheet is covered with
opal white film/text and
must face towards the
sun.
Please put on gloves
avoid slitting your hands.
Handle with care! Drop-
ping can bend the frame,
and it won’t fit properly.
Keep sharp instruments
away from the polycar-
bonate sheets.
Cautions
Foundation
The base is maintenance free and, of course all fittings are included. If you plan to use concrete founda-
tion, remember to order concrete pipes and concrete at your local supply stores as they are not included
with your order.
side sills
front & rear sills
Please match four corner
troughs together at the
same time

ClimaPod Assembly Tips and Tricks
Tools required:
●10mm nut driver
●10mm open-end wrench
●Phillips head and flat head screwdriver
●Level
●Ladder
●Needle nose pliers
Misc. Items required:
●WD-40 lubricant
●Silicone Caulking Sealant
Henry 212 All Purpose Crystal Clear Sealant (recommended)
Caulking Increases the structural integrity of the greenhouse and prevents water from going into
the panels. Caulking the top of the middle seam will prevent algae and water buildup.
●The base has to be 100% level and square.
The easiest way to ensure this is to make sure that the two diagonal measurements are identical.
●Erection of the greenhouse should only take place in calm and dry weather.
●Pre-assemble and caulk windows and doors before you erect the greenhouse
●Pre-thread aluminum profiles for window and door pieces to make assembly
easier
●Keep bolts loose during assembly and avoid securely attaching side
supporting aluminum strips (ref. #012 and/or #056 strips on the parts page) before
the first panel arch has been inserted
●It is far easier to assemble if you have an elevated surface such as two 4’×8’
pieces of plywood on sawhorses.

5
Basic Steps for Assembly
1. Prepare Foundation
2. Attach and secure Base and side sills
3. Assemble and Caulk Windows and Doors
4. Assemble Gables
5. Attach Gables to base and side sills and connect with top ridge beam
6. Connect Hanging basket bar, horizontal rails, and partially connect #012
strips
7. On one side begin by inserting B panel, then crossbar, then I Panel
8. Secure into place with curved aluminum profile.
9. Continue the process while alternating sides.
10. When fitting final polycarbonate panels, loosen bolts to partially disconnect
front gable. It will allow you to get extra space needed for fit the last panel.
11. Slide in the windows, if necessary trim upper corners of the arches
12. Install doors and additional accessories
13. Silicone caulk panel edges on the outside all around greenhouse

This page shows the positioning of the polycarbonate panels for the front and rear gable as
well as the roof and the sides. It also indicates where the gray plastic parts #P6, #P7 and #P8
are used. When fitting parts #P6/P7/P8 on the ends of the panels, try using a narrow piece of
bar soap through the part first. It will allow them to slide on the panel’s edges much easier.
#P6/P7/P8 must be fitted on one end of polycarbonate in advance before polycarbonate is in-
serted into aluminum frame. The square illustration on the page shows the placement of the
gray plastic U shape strips.

Bracing bar
Note: If panel edge can’t enter into alumi-
num Frame channel, please use a

Rear Gable
With this page, you will assemble the rear gable (back). It is far easier if you have an elevated surface
such as two 4’×8’ pieces of plywood on a sawhorses. If not, lay the aluminum profiles out on a hard sur-
face as shown in the main illustration. Remember you are building from the inside with the outside facing
down. Start with one of the “E” panels and build the aluminum around the polycarbonate panel. the poly-
carbonate side with the opal film/text must facing down.

Square No.1 Attaching the ridgepole to the gables, this is
where you may have to adjust bolts in plate #m1 to fit the
pole into gables. Slide the bolt with the nut on up the trough
of ridgepole and tighten.
Square No.2 Connect side sill beam with curved corner
bar, this can be one of the easiest. This is where you will use
an open-end 10mm wrench. Because of the tight corner, it is
difficult to work with the nut driver. Once you have attached
side sill to curved corner bar, bring the corner together and
slide the bolt down into the slot. Tighten with the open-end
wrench.

For 7x7 greenhouse, connect Front gable directly with Rear gable by ridge and

For longer greenhouse sizes connect Front Gable with the first A-Frame (as
shown on page 17) by ridge and side sill beam, and then continue connecting
other extension sets in the same way. When you have connected all 7' exten-
sions included, connect the Rear gable.
