This document outlines the assembly and maintenance instructions for the TMG Industrial 10FT x 20FT Walk-In Round Tunnel Greenhouse, model TMG-GH1020R. This greenhouse is designed to provide a controlled environment for growing plants, protecting them from harsh weather conditions and extending the growing season.
Function Description:
The TMG-GH1020R is a walk-in round tunnel greenhouse intended for agricultural and horticultural use. Its primary function is to create an optimal microclimate for plant growth by offering protection against elements such as strong winds, heavy rain, snowdrifts, and extreme temperatures. The tunnel design maximizes internal space and allows for efficient light distribution. The structure is designed to be sturdy and stable, providing a secure enclosure for crops. It features a fabric cover that helps to retain heat and humidity, crucial for plant development. The walk-in design ensures easy access for tending to plants, watering, and harvesting. The front door and rear truss are designed to accommodate the fabric cover, which includes panels for ventilation and access.
Important Technical Specifications:
- Assembly Size: W3 x L6 x H2 meters (m) / 10 x 20 x 07 feet (ft). This indicates the overall dimensions of the assembled greenhouse, providing ample space for a variety of plants.
- Front Roll-Up Door: 1.86 x 1 m (m) / 6.1 x 3.3 ft (ft). This specifies the dimensions of the main entrance, allowing for easy entry and exit, and potentially for ventilation when rolled up.
- Structure: The greenhouse is constructed from a series of metal tubes and bars that form trusses. Key components include:
- Peak arch tube (#1): Forms the top curve of the greenhouse.
- Middle rafter tube (#2): Connects the peak arch to the lower sections.
- Lower rafter tube (middle truss) (#3): Forms the lower curve of the middle trusses.
- Lower rafter tube (front and rear truss) (#3A): Forms the lower curve of the front and rear trusses.
- Diagonal bracing bar (#4): Provides structural stability, particularly for the first and last spans.
- Roof purlin (horizontal tube) (#5, #5A): Horizontal tubes that run along the roof, connecting the trusses and supporting the cover.
- Bottom tension bar (#6, #7A): Horizontal bars at the base of the structure, providing tension and stability.
- Door frame horizontal tube (#6A, #6B, #6C): Components forming the horizontal sections of the door frame.
- Door frame lower horizontal tube (front truss) (#7): The lowest horizontal bar of the front door frame.
- Ceiling cross bar (front truss) (#7B): A crossbar at the top of the front door frame.
- Door frame lower tube (#8, #8A): Vertical components of the door frame.
- Upper tube (rear truss) (#8B): A horizontal tube at the top of the rear truss.
- Tube clamp (#9): Used to secure various tubes together.
- Mushroom head hexagon socket head bolt (#10, #11, #12): Various sizes of bolts for connecting components.
- Riding clip (#13): Used for securing the roof purlin.
- Water plug (#14): For waterproofing.
- Cover (#15): The main fabric enclosure for the greenhouse.
- Expansion bolt M8x100mm (#16): Used for anchoring the structure to the ground.
- Hexagon wrench (#17): Tool for assembly.
- Materials: The frame is made of metal, likely steel, for durability and strength. The cover is a fabric material, designed to be weather-resistant and provide insulation.
- Safety: The manual emphasizes the importance of wearing safety helmets, protective eyewear, and clothing, safety harnesses for elevated workers, and proper ladder, cage, and safety operation during assembly.
Usage Features:
- Walk-in Design: Allows users to comfortably enter and move around inside the greenhouse, facilitating plant care and harvesting.
- Round Tunnel Shape: Optimizes internal space and reduces wind resistance, making it more stable in windy conditions. The curved design also helps snow to slide off, preventing accumulation.
- Ventilation: The front roll-up door can be used for ventilation, helping to regulate temperature and humidity inside the greenhouse. The fabric cover also includes panels that can be adjusted for airflow.
- Anchoring: The structure is designed to be anchored to the ground using expansion bolts, ensuring stability and preventing it from being lifted by strong winds. It is crucial to install the greenhouse on solid foundation such as cement or use anchor bolts on all baseplates.
- Weather Protection: The fabric cover provides protection against snowdrifts, open flames, or exposed electrical wires. It is important to keep heat sources near the fabric cover to prevent damage.
- Adaptability: The greenhouse can be set up on soft ground, wetland, uneven surfaces, sloped surfaces, or on top of structures, provided that the ground or structure is not rated to hold its weight.
Maintenance Features:
- Regular Inspection: Periodical inspection of all parts is recommended to ensure they are firmly fixed and the whole building is well supported. All bolts and hardware connectors should be checked and tightened. Any necessary repairs or cleaning should be performed regularly.
- Snow Removal: Snow accumulation on the fabric cover must be removed as soon as possible. If solid ice forms on the cover, it can increase the burden on the roof and potentially cause the building to collapse.
- Cleaning: Keep the building on a dry ground condition most of the time. Do not keep the fabric dirty; clean it with water, otherwise, the fabric will deteriorate easily.
- Wind and Snow Management: In snowy regions, it is strongly recommended to remove any snow from the roof immediately. Do not leave any snow load on the roof overnight. Keep 3 feet clearance from both sides and two ends of the ground all the time. Do not allow snow to accumulate and pile up on both sides of the building. Otherwise, the pressure from both sides will push toward the building and make it collapse eventually.
- Fabric Cover Care: The fabric is tensioned and tied to the roof purlin and bottom tension bar to eliminate wrinkles. It is important to ensure the fabric remains taut to prevent flapping and wear.
- Damage Prevention: Avoid making any alterations to the structure. Do not hang any weights on the frame during installation. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages or injuries caused by inappropriate installation, unauthorized modifications, or extreme weather.
- Repair/Replacement: In case of missing parts or questions on assembly, customers are advised to call the provided toll-free number or email customer support. Do not return the product to the dealer unless equipped to handle requests.
