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.

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.

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.

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
bracing bar to squeeze panel edge
into channel.
