Climapod Assembly Tips and Tricks
●Prior to the assembly of the greenhouse, you should have a 10mm nut driver,
10mm open-end wrench, Phillips head and slotted screwdriver, spirit level,
ladder, needle nose pliers, flat head screwdriver, and some WD-40 lubricant.
●Caulking Increases the structural integrity of the greenhouse and prevents
water from going into the panels. Caulking the top of the middle seam will pre-
vent algae and water buildup.
●We recommended Henry 212 All Purpose Crystal Clear Sealant
●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 (#40) 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 a sawhorses.
Basic Steps to 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 #040
7. On one side begin by inserting B panel, then crossbar, then L1 Panel
8. Secure into place with curved aluminum profile.
9. Continue the process while alternating sides.
10. To fit final panels loosen bolts to partially disconnect front gable and allow for
more space
11. Slide in windows, if needed trim upper corners of arches
12. Install doors and additional accessories
13. Caulk top of outside midseam all around greenhouse

Statement
Dear Customer!
May we congratulate you on your new Greenhouse.
We feel sure that by following the detailed assembly instructions you will find as much pleasure in actually
building the greenhouse 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.
There are four packages for one set of Arched greenhouse totally.
The base is packed in one carton, no matter aluminum base or steel base.
The house frames are packed in two cartons, one for straight profiles and all of fittings, one for curved
frames.
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
drawings and in 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
The panels of Polycarbonate are not marked with a part number, but the sizes appear in the overview.
When fitting the Polycarbonate, the side with the opal film/text must turn outward.
Accessories
We offer a wide range of accessories which contribute to a better yield and make life easier for the gar-
dener. A selection of the range is shown in the supplements to these instructions. Your dealer will be
pleased to assist you with further information and a special brochure.
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. Removed larger snow loads.
3. Take precautions against snow falling down, for instance from a roof.
Complaints
We put 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 the model number which is marked on the front page of these instructions.
Guarantee
We grant a 10 year comprehensive guarantee which covers replacement or repairs of defective parts due
to material 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 recommend you contact your insur-
ance company to ensure that you are covered.

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. Remember to order concrete pipes
and concrete at your local dealer as these are not included in the delivery.
Please match four corner
troughs together at the
same time
side sills
front & rear sills

Base
The left illustration shows length and width marked with “X” and “Y”. Part No. m5 shows
a bracket used to secure the inside base when not using the original supplier’s founda-
tion.
Prior to the assembly of the greenhouse, you should have a 10 mm nut driver, 10 mm
open-end wrench, Philips head and slotted screw driver, spirit level, and some WD-40
lubricant.
When using the aluminum base remember to fill the channels with bolts corre-
sponding to amount of arches per side as well as connecting gables.

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 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 it to slide on much easier. #P6/P7/P8 must be fitted on one
end of polycarbonate in advance before polycarbonate be inserted into aluminum frame.
The square illustration on the page shows the placement of the gray plastic U shape strips. To
transfer the size of the panels from mm to inches, divide by 25.4.

Rear Gable
Step1
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 “E1” panels and build the aluminum around the polycarbonate panel. the
polycarbonate side with the opal film/text must facing down.

Step3 Connect front gable with rear gable by Ridge and side sill beam.
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 easi-
est. 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.
