Slotting parts together The greenhouse is based on parts that slot together using 30mm stainless steel screws, as shown in the diagram below. These are self tapping screws which require a little bit of force to get them fully seated. Ensure that your screwdriver is fully engaged with the screw head when you tighten, so that...

Step 1 - Seal the polycarbonate panels (optional) This step is optional, but is recommended. Twin wall polycarbonate panels act like double glazing for your mini greenhouse. To improve the insulation characteristics, itʼs good to seal the ends of the channels using the foil tape provided. It also helps prevent bugs from crawling into the plastic.

Slot the le and right assemblies over the screws on the front and rear base parts and tighten the screws using the screwdriver.

Step 12 - Understand how the shelves fit Refer to the drawing below to see which shelves are bolted and which shelves simply slot into the greenhouse only frame. Note: If you have a 4 seasons model please refer to your smart control guide for layout of additional shelves.
Page 19
Step 13 - Fit the shelf supports The shelf with the double holes half way along is fitted to the rear of the greenhouse. The shelf without the holes is fitted to the front. This step can be easier with an additional pair of hands to support the bars whilst positioning.
Page 20
Top tip: Once you have the bolted shelf supports in place, use a long strip of masking tape (or similar) across the back of the greenhouse to hold the sides vertical. Without the tape there is a tendency for the sides to splay out, and the slotted shelf supports and rear panels may fall out.
Page 21
Step 15 - Install lower rear panels This step can be made easier by squeezing the edges of the panels that will be in the slots of the frame so that they are slightly deformed. Parts Drop the lower rear panels (the smaller ones) into the ●...

Once the shelf supports are in place, fix the top mesh shelves to the shelf supports using the long cable ties. The other shelves can be cradled by the shelves and not require cable ties, but you can fit if required for extra security. Your S24 should now resemble the diagram below.
Page 31
The front top shelf support needs to be mounted further back to allow the lid li er piston to swing, as per the drawing. Leave a 50mm gap between the le and right mesh panels for the li er piston.
Page 32
Step 26 - Connect the lid li er. Optional Taking care not to trap your fingers, squeeze the sides of the lid li er together and insert the studs into the bracket on the inside of the front upper bar. Step 27 - Fit the hole caps Weʼve supplied some small black plastic caps to cover the screw holes in the front of the greenhouse and in the lid rear.
Page 34
Step 30 - Storm lock Parts 4 x M5 x 10 bolts Fit two M5 x 10s into the outside channel of the lid with a 60mm spacing. Fit the o ring around the two upper bolts and when you need to lock the lid pull it down over the lower bolt. Step 31 - Secure the greenhouse down We recommend that you secure the sprout to the ground, a wall or a fence.
Open the front doors, unclip the li er mechanism, and then open the lid. The lid opener piston is not covered under our manufacturer's guarantee.
