ﬂowers).

Keep these instructions for use for later reference.

IMPORTANT!

Read the following information before you unpack and assemble the product.

• Read these instructions for use carefully and thoroughly.

• Pay particular attention to the warnings and safety instructions.

• Before you begin assembling the product, use the parts list to check that

all parts have been supplied and are undamaged.

Example

WARNINGS

• DANGER TO LIFE AND ACCIDENT RISK FOR CHILDREN AND INFANTS!

• RISK OF SUFFOCATION! Never allow children to play with the packaging material or ﬁlm

unsupervised!

• RISK OF SWALLOWING and SUFFOCATION! Keep children and infants away from the

location when you are assembling the product because the consignment includes

small parts.

• CAUTION! Metal parts and metal proﬁles can have sharp edges so there is a

RISK OF CUTS and INJURIES! Wear protective/work gloves when opening the shipping

carton and when checking the parts against the parts list.

• WARNING! The product is not a climbing frame or an item of play equipment. Children

should be supervised at all times!

• RISK OF TIPPING and SUFFOCATION! Do not place objects on the product, use it to pull

yourself up, climb underneath it or climb into the packaging.

• WARNING! Strong sunlight can lead to the temperature inside the closed, unventilated

greenhouse rising to a level that poses a hazard to health. Ensure that there is

sufﬁcient ventilation when people are inside and do not remain inside for too long.

• ACCIDENT RISK! Always ensure that the ladders are in a secure position.

• WARNING! Film is combustible! Do not expose it to heat sources or open ﬂames!

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Assemble the greenhouse at a location that is sheltered from the wind (e.g. on

the lee side of a building, depending on the main wind direction).

• The greenhouse is to be used for the intended purpose only and as a stationary

installation. It must therefore be anchored to a suitable supporting surface.

• ATTENTION! Always ensure that the anchors are secured in the ground.

• CAUTION! Do NOT assemble the greenhouse in windy weather!

• CAUTION! It is dangerous to leave a semi-assembled greenhouse exposed to the

weather. In particular, the partially mounted ﬁlm can provide a large surface that

functions like a sail in windy weather.

• CAUTION! It takes at least 2 people to assemble the greenhouse.

• CAUTION! RISK OF CUTS and INJURIES! Always wear protective/work gloves when

handling the product. The metal parts can have sharp edges and corners.

• Only use robust tools that are suitable for manual work.

• ATTENTION! When it is windy the greenhouse door(s) and side vents have

to be kept closed.

• ATTENTION! The greenhouse is not designed to support snow loads. Always remove

snow. Otherwise the greenhouse may collapse! Alternatively, if the greenhouse is empty,

the ﬁlm can be removed during the winter.

• ATTENTION! If the ﬁlm is not correctly tensioned on the frame it is possible that

rainwater will collect on the roof and exert a load on it. Remove the water pockets

from the greenhouse roof.

• Dispose of the packaging material and any remaining ﬁlm safely and properly.

Required tools (not supplied)

• Protective/work gloves

• Sledgehammer

• Pipe wrench

• Ratchet (13mm socket) & 13mm

combination wrench

• Allen key IS5

• (Mason‘s) cord

• Carpet knife

• Scissors

• Trestle

• Spirit level

• Tape measure/folding rule

• Small wooden board

• 2-3 people for assembly

• 2 small (step)ladders

!General assembly instructions

• Read all sections of the instructions for use thoroughly before starting to

assembly the product.

• The user is responsible for obtaining any necessary planning permission or

building law approvals.

• The Römi

Start-Up can be set up in different positions and locations. This

involves

adapting and adjusting the individual tunnel elements to the speciﬁc

location. We cannot provide any precise measurements for that reason. Instead

we use approximate information or phrases such as „adjust to requirements“.

• Tunnel components that are exposed to direct sunlight can heat up and

cause burns. When assembling and using the tunnel, please avoid contact

with hot parts.

• Initially, the bolt clamps slide up and down the tubes. Therefore, always

ensure that the bolt clamps are at the correct position on the arch before

screwing them into place. Once they have been screwed into place, the bolt

clamps cannot be slid over the screw connections.

•

General care instructions are included in every roll of ﬁlm. We recommend

that you read them carefully.

• It is impossible to assemble the ﬁlm on the frame without folding it. The folds

have to be arranged so that no troughs form where water can collect.

• Don’t combine the parts for one arch with the parts for another arch. We

commend the successive assembly of the arches and that only one

package/ bundle is opened at a time.

• Don’t worry if your

MiniRömi

Start-Up

is initially not perfectly aligned and looks

a little crooked. These slight ﬂaws can be remedied in the assembly process.

Römi®Start-Up assembly

First check that the shipment carton contains all the necessary parts by check-

ing them against the parts list. Ensure that the materials are complete and

undamaged to avoid problems during the assembly process.

Step 1

Take the time to ﬁnd a wind-protected location where

you can assemble your Römi®Start-Up. Remember that

shade can have a negative impact on yield.

Determine the main wind direction. We recommend

that the tunnel is positioned with the side facing the

main wind direction so that the wind can ﬂow over

the top. In some locations it can be advantageous

to choose a different position, or the recommended

position may not be possible.

General instructions on wind stabilization:

As the ﬁrst step we recommend setting up a windbreak net in the main wind direction

to reduce the speed of the wind hitting the tunnel. The height of the windbreak net

should correspond to the height of the straight wall (at least 1.0 m to 1.5m). The wind-

break net should be wind-permeable and can be installed approx. 10-15cm above

the ground. Please ensure that the windbreak is securely anchored in the ground to

prevent the posts/anchors becoming loose in a storm.

If you do not erect your tunnel with the side wall facing the main wind direction as

recommended or intend to erect it at a location with permanent wind exposure, you

can take additional measures to improve stability.

- Bury the ﬁlm on the sides of the tunnel – Caution: this impairs tunnel ventilation

- Incorporate additional metal struts, wind brace poles or duct tape

- Fix the ﬁrst & last tunnel arches in place with tensioned rope and additional

ground anchors

For further information and queries contact us at +49 (0) 2602 9264-0

or inf[email protected].

!Important notice:

Please do not place the tunnel on an exposed area because the wind will hit the

tunnel at full speed. We recommend that a wind break is used to protect the tunnel

against wind damage.

Check the condition of the ground at the envisaged assembly location. It

must provide the ground anchors with sufﬁcient stability. Otherwise, it cannot

be guaranteed that the Römi®Start-Up will stand ﬁrmly.

Ideally, the ground should have a 1 to 2% gradient at the assembly location to

ensure that rainwater drains off. A steeper gradient can impede secure stand

and stability. You can also create a drain on the long side of the tunnel to

divert water away.

To ensure that all anchors are in a straight line, we recommend

using (mason’s) cord between the ﬁrst and last anchors and

then position the remaining anchors along the cord. You can

achieve the perfect distance if you use a 2m ridgepole (part I)

and a 32mm bolt clamp on the left and right. When the anchor

is in place, the pole with the bolt clamps should ﬁt onto the

inserted anchor (see photo). To insert the anchors place the soil

drill adapter on top of each anchor and twist them individual-

ly into place. Check the distance between them with the 2m

ridgepole and the afﬁxed bolt clamps after putting each an-

chor into place. The anchors on the 2nd side (opposite) are at a right angle and

at a distance of 3.5m (= tunnel width) to the anchors on the ﬁrst side (see photo).

Please note that with these dimensions the tunnel is slightly longer than originally

stated because the pole including bolt clamp is >2.00m and the arch spacing is

stated as 2m.

When screwing the anchors into place, ensure that

the soil conditions provide the necessary secure hold.

Loose soil or backﬁll are not suitable for anchoring

purposes. The anchors must always be inserted deep

enough into the soil and be level in height. Always

check that the anchors are ﬁrmly in place and secure!

Assemble the arches and afﬁ x the bolt clamps in place

Step 3

• First open just one bundle of arch parts because the individual parts were bent

together. For that reason, only these parts can be connected to form a

straight arch. Do not open other bundles or mix arch parts from different

bundles because they may be twisted or S-shaped when connected.

• Arrange the parts (2x part D1 + 2x part

D + part I + 2x part G) on the ﬂoor in the

arch conﬁguration.

• Now thread on the correct number of

bolt clamps. Ensure that the bolt clamps

are facing in the right direction. (See drawing on page 12).

• The bolt clamps should always have the ﬂat side facing outwards (to the ﬁlm).

The screw thread faces away from the ﬁlm.

• When the correct number of bolt clamps have been threaded on in the right

order, you can screw together the parts of the arches (D parts), the cross purlin

(part H and B), the connecting and the V-strut (G parts). Do not com

pletely

tighten the screws initially. When you have ﬁnished the alignment (step 6)

you can tighten them securely.

Place the arches on the vertical pins of the ground anchors. If you get the im-

pression that one of the arches has twisted or it looks S-shaped, you can swap

the parts D of an arch for another arch.

• On the last arch afﬁx the upper end purlins (part I) onto the upper part of the arch

and the lower end purlins (part C + 2 x part B) onto the lower end of the arch.

• Now connect the arches lengthways by afﬁxing one ridgepole (part I) to the top

bolt clamps at the centre and highest point of the arches.

Step 4

Note:

The ﬂat end of the purlin is mounted on

the ﬂat side of the bolt clamp.

Remember: ﬂ at to ﬂ at.

The screw thread faces away from the ﬁ lm.

WARNING!

ACCIDENT RISK! Always ensure that the ladders are in a secure position.

Example

A wind brace (part A1 and part B) is attached on each side between the ﬁrst

and second arch, and the penultimate and last arch. To attach the wind brace

use the bolt clamps on part D (upper part of the arch) on the ﬁrst (or last) arch

and the lower bolt clamps on part D1 (lower part of the arch) on the second (or

penultimate) arch. A 25 mm bolt clamp is used on the tapered part of the arch.

Ensure that the wind brace pole is afﬁxed to the anchor shaft of the following

arch (second and third/ third last and penultimate arch) so that the forces are

conveyed directly to the anchor.

• When you have assembled the arches (including V-strut), the wind brace

and two end purlins you can make the ﬁnal adjustments to the individual

parts by moving the bolt clamps along the arches slightly.

• When everything is aligned, you can tighten all the screws. Use the ratchet

and the 13mm socket. Then check all the screws to ensure that they are ﬁrmly

in place.

Step 7

WARNING!

The wind brace is essential to the stability of the greenhouse. If it is mounted incorrectly

or not mounted, there is a risk of serious damage and injury!

Door frame and door system assembly

Connect the corners, the 1 m and the 2 m poles for

door leaves, as shown in the parts list, to build the door

frame.

Mount the company plaque where it is visible on the

2m outside of the ﬁlm after assembly in case of later

inquiries or warranty claims. Tighten the screws so that

the tubes are stable. If necessary, the door can be re-

duced in size/ adapted by sawing/ angle grinding the

tube pairs to the required length.

Step 5

17|2816|28

Schritt 7

• Put the door ridge (A1/H) in the space between the

bolt clamps on the ﬁrst arch (see p. 12) and, at the

same time, place the ﬂat side of doorpost Part B on

the outside of the bolt clamp, then lightly tighten the

screw. Hold the door against the frame, remembering

to leave space for the hinges and lock. Use a spirit level

on the door ridge and door post (part B) to determine

the ﬁnal right-angle position. Then hold the door post

part A2 (making sure the push-ﬁt system overlaps and

the holes on B/A2 match) in the correct position for part

A2 and determine the correct height. Now hammer Part A2 into the ground

with a piece of wood between the part and the hammer to protect it (see

photo).

• Thread one bolt clamp onto each part A2 (ﬂat side facing outwards; screw

facing the arch). Two door hinges also have to be threaded onto the two posts

(part A2). 1 hinge is afﬁxed to Part B later on.

• Detach the hanging part B from the bolt clamp brieﬂy (after determining the

bolt clamp and part A1/H’s position) and insert it onto A2 (aligning the holes).

Screw the ﬂat side of part B on the bolt clamp onto the door ridge (in the

space between the bolt clamps).

• Now the height of the hinges and lock can be adjusted, and the relevant parts

can be attached to the door leaves/posts. The two spacers (push-ﬁt system

comprising part E + part F) are mounted on the lower end of the arch and the

door posts.

Put the door on the hinges to test it before you tighten the screws.

Door system

Tip:

Twist the door hinge a little outwards so that the door will open fully

later on.

CAUTION! This assembly makes it impossible to open the door inwards.

Before you mount the ﬁlm cover all sharp-edged elements of the arches, ridge-

poles, wind brace and door, as well as screws, with the supplied adhesive foam to

prevent damage to the ﬁlm.

Preparing and mounting the ﬁlm

• Only mount the ﬁlm in dry weather with no wind.

• Place the ﬁlm roll on two mounting blocks so that it can be easily unrolled.

Important:

Ensure that the ﬁlm cut is facing up so that you can unfold the ﬁlm later.

Step 8

WARNING!

RISK OF CUTS and INJURIES! Always wear protective / work gloves when handling the pro-

duct. The metal parts can have sharp edges and corners.

ACCIDENT RISK! Always ensure that the ladders are in a secure position.

CAUTION! It is dangerous to leave a semi-assembled greenhouse exposed to the weather.

In particular, the partially mounted ﬁlm can provide a large surface that functions like a

sail in windy weather.

19|2818|28

Afﬁ xing the ﬁ lm

Step 9

Pull the ﬁlm carefully over the top of the frame from one end to the other. Then

carefully start to extend it over the sides, one side ﬁrst, then the other. Ensure

that no folds are created to prevent tears in the ﬁlm.

Example

Use the supplied pliers to afﬁx the omega-shaped

clips.

To prevent mechanical damage only use the supplied omega-shaped clips. The

omega-shaped clips may not be placed directly onto the greenhouse ﬁlm. Cut

a piece of the protection ﬁlm off the roll (double the clip width) and place it

under each clip before afﬁxing it in place.

Tension the ﬁlm on one side ﬁrst, then

the other. First afﬁx the clips to the

front, then to the back, in each case

on the lower purlins (27 mm + 32

mm omega-shaped clip), the door

posts (32 mm omega-shaped clip)

and the door ridge (27 mm + 32 mm

omega-shaped clip). Optionally, the

ﬁlm can be clipped to the back of

the end purlin on the tunnel arches.

Whichever option you choose, make

sure that the clips on the front and

back are at the same height. Excess

ﬁlm can initially be turned inwards

and cut off afterwards if necessary.

! Important

The ﬁlm must be taut when the clips have been afﬁxed!

Only use max. 2 layers of greenhouse ﬁlm under the clips, otherwise the

omega-shaped clips can overstretch and tear!
