Safety Advice
Attention
In some countries or areas, you may have to obtain permission when setting up structures like
greenhouses or similar buildings exceeding a certain size. It is your responsibility to comply with
local rules and regulations and to ensure that the greenhouse is assembled correctly.
In case of bad weather conditions, it is your responsibility to ensure the greenhouse is safely
secured and that the structure does not cause damaged to others. Be sure to close doors and
windows in the greenhouse, remove any loose objects in the garden, which may hit the
greenhouse if the wind takes hold of it. Secure the garden trampoline and ask your neighbours to
do the same. Please check the garden in general for loose or broken branches and other objects
that may cause a danger in case of windy weather. Do not use open fire, welding equipment or
other sources of ignition, inside or close to the greenhouse.
When you buy a greenhouse and set it up in your garden, we recommend that you check
whether your home insurance covers the structure. At the same time, you are not supposed to be
inside the greenhouse during extreme weather conditions.
This structure has not been tested for specific snow and wind loads! Make sure you follow our
general safety advice and in the event of snow, always remove excessive amounts of snow from
the greenhouse to prevent too much snow on the roof of the greenhouse. Heavy snow may
cause the roof or entire structure to collapse.
Note: Dancover warranty applies only to the normal use of the greenhouse, normal wear and
tear excepted, in accordance with written use instructions or manual. The warranty does not
apply to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse or modification of the greenhouse.

USER’S IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Proper use of the garden tunnel is provided by correct assembly as per the manufacturer’s instructions:
1. The tunnel must be carefully assembled, as per the guidelines in the manual.
2. All elements of the tunnel construction should be carefully secured with tacks in the connections from all sides
3. The foil should be assembled on sunny and windless days, which will make the work considerably easier. Firm
4. During winter periods garden foil should be removed from the construction.
strengthen the tunnel by sticking metal or wooden poles and fasten them to the bows.
6. In longer tunnels additional reinforcement of the whole construction is recommended, through connection of
particular bows in their upper part with the use of an additional tube or a thick wire (the so-called ridge lath)
7. The tunnel’s construction may additionally be reinforced using polypropylenic string that will be winding crossly the
tunnel’s surface and that will be fastened to the metal hooks at the ground.
8. Don’t leave the tunnel opened at strong wind, because it may cause the damage of particular parts of the tunnel.
9. One should not attach the strings supporting the plants to the bows, because it may cause the damage of particular
parts of the tunnel.
10. The garden tunnel should not be placed in the open space. It should be placed near the buildings or trees and
bushes.
11. During the assembly the ambient temperature should not be lower than 10°C.
THE MANUFACTURER is not responsible for improper use of the tunnel, other than intended use and for the
damages that occurred as a result of extreme weather conditions, such as strong wind, hailstorm, snow etc.
Internal layer ensures increased thermal insulation properties, which results in keeping greater amount of thermal
radiation inside the tunnel.
External layers ensure:
proper elasticity, increased durability and resistance to damages and perfect permeability of light.
Advantages of three-layered foil
- perfect mechanic durability (addition of metallocene)
- perfect permeability of daylight
- high elasticity and resistance to low temperatures
- ensuring the greenhouse effect
