Troubleshooting

Greenhouse feels unstable

Ensure the greenhouse is correctly assembled on a level base and that the pressure-treated base rail is securely in place. Check all fixings are tightened.

Roof vents not opening or closing automatically

Verify that the automatic openers are correctly installed and that there are no obstructions preventing their movement. Ensure the hydraulic fluid within the opener is not leaked.

Condensation inside the greenhouse
