Thank you for purchasing your Sunshine GardenHouse. We hope you will
have many years of gardening success and enjoyment. Take time to review
the printed instructions as well as the video.
Preparing to build. A level well-drained area is essential to the assembly of
your GardenHouse. No foundation is required. Many people use pathway
gravel on top of landscape fabric to make an affordable easy to level drain-
ing surface. Two people should be able to assemble the greenhouse in about
4 hours. The Standard Building Code states that “a greenhouse with wood
frame construction shall be located not less than 5 feet from an adjoining
structure or property line” (Section 502, Greenhouses). Your local building
code may vary, so check with local ofcials.
All major components of the kit are panelized so that you and a helper can
assemble the GardenHouse in a day or two. A second person is essential
to position the panels.
The GardenHouse kit comes in four boxes. Before you begin, please verify
the contents or your boxes using our parts inventory list.

Redwood is naturally resistant to moisture and insect damage, and will fade
to a silver gray over time unless treated. If you seal or paint the wood, use a
water based product. Acetone or Ketone products may damage the glazing.
