Welcome to the assembly guide for your S8 mini greenhouse!
Pre-install checklist
Allocate 2 hrs to the assembly of your S8. Do not remove components from their packaging before completing the step as its labelled on the packing. It can also help to read through the provided parts list and split the fasteners apart to make assembly smoother.
- Mobile phone/ tablet or laptop
- 240V power - waterproof socket. No extension leads.
- Secure fixing area
- Water Source - supply from a clean water source
- Some steps will be easier with an extra pair of hands

Installing channel nuts
Channel nuts allow components to be fixed to the slot in the side of the 2020 extrusion. The flush face of the channel nut always faces outwards.
Slotting alignment of the screw/ bolt head in channels
The bulk of the frame uses screws or allen head bolts in the channel of 2020 extrusion to secure in place. Take care in locating and threading screws to prevent cross threading and misalignment.
Recommendations for S8 positioning
Like all structures, the longevity and safe operation of the mini greenhouse is only as good as the foundation it is fixed to.
Your S8 needs to be located on a flat, smooth surface measuring at least 700 x 700mm footprint with enough room to open the door fully at the front.
The reccomended fixing method is to use the supplied stainless angle brackets and secure all 4 corners to the floor.
For a concrete base you could use rawplugs or we supply 30mm long stainless steel screws for screwing into a wooden surface. You may also decide to secure the rear uprights fence panel or posts.
Do not position your S8 directly onto a soft surface such as soil or sand.
