1. General Information
1.1 Forward
Congratulations on your purchase of the U-greeny Vertical Gardening
System for small areas. With U-greeny you can grow, cultivate and harvest
vegetables, herbs, salads, flowers, berries and other plants in a very space-
saving and convenient way (for example on balconies, terraces, private
gardens, small areas and on the house wall).
You now have a unique planting system, which meets TÜV standards under
the test number and is approved for use.
No modification of the product is allowed except for opening the water outlets
or vents as described in chapter 6.1. If other modifications are made, any
consequences are not covered by the after sales service or the product
warranty.
The assembly instructions, parts and accessories and all the enclosed
documents should be kept for the duration of use of the system. Your U-
greeny vertical gardening system was made with special care. Should there
ever be an issue, please contact your local dealer and provide the proof of
purchase.
1.2 Useage
The U-greeny Vertical Gardening System is designed for outdoor as well as
indoor use.
The U-greeny Vertical Gardening System and its components are intended
for private use only and are not intended for public use.

1.3 Identifiers
Fig. 1
The bottom of each box shows the following information:
a) Max. Weight, max. Volume capacity, Article number, max. Stack height,
External dimensions, Production date (month, year)
c) Company name, Address, Patent number
1.4 Using the manual
Please allow sufficient time to thoroughly read the following information on
the construction and safety of your U-greeny Vertical Gardening System
before setting it up. Illustrations supplement the text in this guide to help you
understand the process.
The instructions, parts and accessories and all accompanying documents
should be kept for the duration of use of the U-greeny Vertical Gardening
System
1.5 Effects of the weather
Natural weather conditions such as sun, UV radiation and moisture have
different effects depending on irradiation, altitude, temperature and duration
of use. Plastic naturally changes over time. This can lead to drying cracks,
the formation of which can be particularly noticeable when exposed directly
to the weather conditions and strong moisture fluctuations. The resulting
cracks can have an influence on the static properties and on the strength of

U-GREENY 01/19 3of 15 13-06-004-00009-V1-EN
the material. Cracking is a natural plastic property and is not a cause for
complaint. Depending on the light irradiation, UV radiation and weathering,
colour changes of the planter boxes may occur.
Due to the properties of plastic, moisture fluctuations can lead to
dimensional changes. This is unavoidable and can not be prevented. At
times it may be more moderate and at other times the effect is stronger. This
is a natural process and therefore not a complaint.
2. Safety Information

assemble your U-greeny Vertical Gardening System.

5. Product description
All components are made of durable and UV-stable HDPE material, a
recyclable plastic with test certificate.
The planters are only to be used from -20 ° C (-4 ° F) to + 50 ° C (122 ° F).

5.1 Trivets
Fig.6
On the inside of the Trivet in each corner are hexagonal shaped receiving
domes (P). The plant box must be precisely positioned and snapped onto
these receiving domes. In the middle of each side and at the bottom are
predefined openings (W). Depending on the intended use, they can be
opened, see chapter 6.1.
Note: The Trivet and Top Planer differ only in the four support domes (P) of
the Trivet.
