GP937 Greenhouse

Product Information

The GP937 is a quality greenhouse measuring 433 x 250 x 228cm.
It features self-tapping screws to provide strong joints and
includes base anchor brackets with expanding bolts for secure
fixing into concrete or paving. The two-part eaves beam includes an
integral gutter, and downpipes are included as standard so you can
collect rainwater. The roof vents come with manual window handles,
and automatic roof vent openers are available as an inexpensive
optional extra. This greenhouse is painted aluminum and is
scratch-resistant.

Product Usage Instructions

For safety purposes, assemble the greenhouse with at least two
people. Wear gloves, shoes, and safety goggles during
assembly.
Be careful when handling metal components as some have sharp
edges.
Lay all of the components on a soft carpet or blanket to avoid
any scratches or damages.
Do not climb or stand on the roof and avoid leaning heavy
articles against the greenhouse.
Keep the roof and gutter clear of snow, dirt, and leaves.
Allowing snow to build up on the roof may damage the product.
Clean the product with a mild detergent solution and rinse with
cold clean water. Do not use acetone, abrasive cleaners, or strong
detergents to clean the panels.
Use the provided free tool and additional tools (not provided)
to assemble the greenhouse.
If you choose polycarbonate sheet as glazing panel, rubber is
not provided.
Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all sheet edges
before installing, and remove all film immediately after
construction is completed. Ensure that the side with the white film
faces outwards.
If you require automatic roof vent openers, GM80001 is sold
separately.

4. Remove approximately 2 inches of film from all sheet edges before installing and remove all film immediately after the construction is completed. Please ensure that the side with the white film faces outwards.

5. This quality greenhouse features self-tapping screws to provide strong joints. As the name suggests, the screws tap their own thread. Driving in self-tapping screws requires more force than conventional screws. A powered screwdriver is therefore recommended.
