How to Maintain your Greenhouse Structure

1)Remove any sharp edged objects which might damage the greenhouse plastic and make sure that the metals and wood parts that come in-contact with the film are smooth.
2) Replace any rusty metal parts. Contact between covering film and rusty metal will cause film degradation.
3) Residual grease, lubricants, organic solvents and other substance should not be put in contact with greenhouse plastic.
4)Repair holes and tears on the film using Repair Tape (a must have).
5)During the hot season, the greenhouse should be ventilated to avoid over-heating and thermal degradation.
6) Never leave the curtains to roll down on their own, unwind them smoothly by hand.
7) Clean the film (if necessary only) with water and sponge or cloth. Don’t use a brush. Use pure water only; using polluted water with chemical will accelerate the film degradation.
8) Do simple and quick Inspection of the Greenhouse, and Report to your service provider if there be any signs of failure.
9) Periodically treat or apply termite poison to the supporting members (especially the balcony poles).

Main damage sources: a) Mechanical damage: minimize failure due to mechanical damage of any kind, including impact, puncture, scratches, tear, contact with sharp edges of the greenhouse structure.
b) Natural disasters: failures due to strong winds, hale, storm or any other extreme weather conditions are often severe and difficult to manage.
c) Overheating the film has an adverse effect on its lifetime. During Hot days, make sure Ventilation Curtains are open.
d) Exposure to chemicals: exposure of greenhouse films to severe chemical conditions has an adverse effect on the lifetime of the film. Agrochemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers should never be put in contact with the greenhouse plastic.
