Germinator Set Up

What are the dimensions?
The Germinators I & II measure 5' x 8' respectively. The lengths fold up to only 5 inches thick for off-season storage.

How long does it take to put the kits together?
The one-time initial assembly takes about 1-3 hours. Besides an electric drill, only basic tools are needed. Each time after, it only takes a few minutes to set up or take down.

Do the shelves come with it?
Yes, each kit includes a full length, two-tier shelf system. The shelves also come apart for easy storage.

How many plants could I growing the Germinator?
If you elect to use the ground level to grow upon, one side of the Germinators can hold up to 24 standard (11" x 21") flats of plants. A ready-to-fit additional shelf system is available if you wish to double the capacity.

What do the kits include?
Sturdy aluminum frames, spreader bar tensioners, a sewn cover with 2 closable ceiling vents and large rear wall vent, all hardware and easy to follow instructions. The vents are screen covered to keep out insects.

What is the cover material and how long will it last?
The cover is a high-density polyethylene, laminated with polyester strands to make it tear resistant. Ultraviolet inhibitors are added to guarantee years of extended life under normal use.

How much light get's through?
About 75%. It's ideal for young plants to adjust to natural light.

Can I leave my Germinator out all winter?
Yes. However, it's not recommended in areas that experience heavy snowfalls. Continuous exposure to ultraviolet light from the sun can shorten the lifespan of the cover. They are intended to give you a 2 month early head start on the growing season and another extra month or two at the season's end. Germinators are referred to as "season extenders"

How well do they hold up in the wind?
The Germinators have been tested in high winds and golf ball-sized hail. All Germinator Series Greenhouses come with six 15" earth anchors. If you want to put the greenhouses on a deck or patio, we recommend bolting them to the deck.

What is the warranty period?
Germinators have a limited one year manufacturer's warranty. The manufacturer warrants each Germinator to be free from defects in material and workmanship under normal usage, assuming proper installation and maintenance. Call for complete warranty information.
