LOCATION
Choosing the proper location is an important step before
you begin to assemble the structure.
The following suggestions and precautions will help you
determine whether your selected location is the best
location.
•
Never erect the structure under power lines.
•
Identify whether underground cables and pipes are
present before preparing the site or anchoring the
structure.
•
Location should be away from structures that could
cause snow to drift on or around the building.
•
Do not position the greenhouse where large loads
such as snow and ice, large tree branches, or other
overhead obstacles could fall.
•
Always check local building codes before you begin.
SITE
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is
essential. The following site characteristics will help ensure
the integrity of the structure.
•
A level site is required. The site must be level to
properly and safely erect and anchor the structure.
•
Drainage: Water draining off the structure and from
areas surrounding the site should drain away from the
site to prevent damage to the site, the structure, and
contents of the structure.
WARNING: The individuals assembling this structure

temporary bracing, shoring and support needed during
