ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS

Is it necessary to acquire special tools to assemble a Sunshine GardenHouse Kit?

The major components of the GardenHouse Kits are panelized to ensure an easy and sure fit. The panelized sections are joined by screws. A power screwdriver, a 6 foot stepladder, and a tape measure are all that is needed for easy assembly.

Do you offer a product video to assist customers in the assembly of the Sunshine GardenHouse?

We include an assembly video with each shipped 6' x 8' and 8'x 12' GardenHouse Kit. Additional videos may be ordered separately for $10.00 each.

CLIMATE CONTROL QUESTIONS

Does the Sunshine GardenHouse require a heater during the cooler months of the year?

The GardenHouse can easily be equipped with a heater for winter use. The heat retention of the double-wall polycarbonate panels is 40% more efficient than single pane glass. As an example, for a 6'x 8' GardenHouse, when the outside temperature is 10 degrees F, and a 55 degree F temperature is desired inside the GardenHouse, only 6,615 BTU's per hour of heat would be required. Details are available in the GardenHouse Operation Guide included in each kit.

Do you recommend applying a shade cloth to the GardenHouse during the warmest months of the year?

When the outdoor temperature reaches a consistent daytime reading of 75 degrees, it may be necessary to apply shading to lower the temperature inside the greenhouse. Although temperature is scattered by the ribs between the polycarbonate walls, one may also want to consider the addition of a shade cloth. It is important to remember, however, that shading may slow the growth of some vegetables and flowering plants. We recommend the Suden Shade Cloth, which is a durable polypropylene that blocks the rays of the sun, and has been proven to reduce the temperature in the greenhouse by 15 degrees. It is attractive, lightweight, easy-to-install, reusable, energy-saving, and long-lasting. It can be cut to size, and comes with fabric, rope, and Clip-Its. The Suden Shade Cloth offers a five-year product guarantee. :: Shade Cloth - Cooling Accessories

Does the GardenHouse have good ventilation and thorough air circulation?

The roof vent allows air to escape at the hottest point, the roof ridge. Cooler air enters the base vent, creating a chimney effect, and thus circulating cool fresh air throughout the GardenHouse. The convenient Dutch door provides additional ventilation control and easy access. Automatic solar-powered vent operators on the roof and base vents contain a paraffin (wax) cylinder that expands when the temperature reaches 65 degrees F, pushing the vent open to its fully opened position at about 85 degrees F. As it cools, the paraffin contracts, and the operator's spring draws each vent closed. It is easily detachable for manual operation.
