Introduction

Thank you for purchasing your Easy2Build
vents and a circular air vent to ensure proper ventilation. We have also included an automatic vent opener
to help you maintain optimal temperature e ortlessly. When properly assembled and maintained, this
greenhouse will provide years of enjoyment.
These instructions include helpful hints and important information needed to safely assemble and
properly maintain the greenhouse. Please carefully read these instructions completely before you begin.
This greenhouse has been designed with patented technology to be easily assembled. All but one step
can be completed by one person. You will require assistance from another person to attach the roof.
Although the greenhouse can be assembled in six to eight hours, we recommend that you take your time
and make it aweekend project.
Before Starting Assembly:
CAREFULLY READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE YOU BEGIN AND FOLLOW THE STEPS IN
THE ORDER THEY ARE PRESENTED.
1. Make sure you have all the necessary parts:
Compare the contents of the two cartons to the List of Parts. If any parts are missing or damaged or
you have any questions, please contact Customer Service by phone at (877) 407-9100 ext. 1 or by email
at customerservice@stcaustin.com before beginning assembly.
2. Lay the parts out in separate staging areas:
The List of Parts has the corresponding step number referenced to each part. We recommend that
while you go through the list, make staging areas for each step and place the parts necessary fo
step in these areas. This will save you time and e ort during assembly.
3. Select a Location:
When selecting a site for your greenhouse, a at level area is essential and if possible, with proper
water drainage and easy access to power and water necessary for greenhouse gardening.
Choose a sunny, level position away from overhanging trees and power lines and protected from the
wind as much as possible. The location should be away from structures that could cause snow to drift
on or around the greenhouse.
Locate underground pipes or cables before preparing the site or anchoring the greenhouse.
Note: You may assemble the greenhouse on a hard level surface and move it to its nal position when
nished. Make sure there are no obstacles between the assembly area and the nal position.
4. Prepare a Foundation:
After choosing a location, proper preparation of the site is essential. The site must be level. If the site is
not level, create a base slightly larger than the outside dimensions of the greenhouse using a perimeter
of two by fours lled with either soil, sod or gravel. Make sure the base is square by measuring the
diagonals from both sides and making sure they are equal. The greenhouse is secured from the inside
with pegs into holes cast with concrete. See step16 for details.
If you decide to have a concrete base, it is best to contact a reliable contractor to ensure it is at and
level.Make sure you have checked with your local authorities regarding any required building permits.
5. Make sure you have the proper tools:
•
Tape Measure
•
Work Gloves
•
Safety Goggles
•
Phillips Screwdriver
