Connect the control unit to WiFi
We recommend you do this indoors, before you install the control box into your
greenhouse, polytunnel or cold frame. When it’s working indoors, you can move it to
the site where you’re going to put your greenhouse to test the connection there before
you begin construction of the frame.
1. Ensure your WiFi network name and password are handy.
2. Turn on your Harvst control unit. It will start beeping fast and the red LED will
be on.
3. If, after 10 seconds, no previous WiFi connection has been found, the unit will
start beeping slowly; once a second. It has just started it’s own WiFi signal.
4. On your phone, go to WiFi settings, and connect to the "harvst-wifi" access
point. You should be automatically redirected to http://192.168.4.1 *
5. Click the blue "Configure WiFi" button.
6. You should see your WiFi network listed. Choose your WiFi network by clicking
its name. If you don't see yours, click "Refresh".
7. Enter your password and click save.
8. The unit will pause for a while and then if it connects OK, you'll hear a double
beep. You’ll also get a welcome text message to your phone.
If you run out of time, haven’t received the welcome text message or email, or have any
other trouble connecting, turn the unit off and then back on again to restart the WiFi
connection process. WiFi details will be stored for the next time you turn the unit on.
* If you’re NOT redirected automatically to the setup screen once you have connected
to harst-wifi, then open a browser (Chrome, Safari etc) and type in “192.168.4.1” to the
address bar; where you would normally enter a website address. This will take you to
the blue “Configure Wifi” button.

WiFi.

1. Prepare the location
Your greenhouse will need level ground to sit on. You can put it directly on grass, on a
raised bed, or a hard standing like concrete or brick. If your foundation is not flat and
level, your lid and doors won't operate smoothly, so it's worth putting the effort in
now.
The rainwater collection system also requires a flat and level base. A slope of 5% (1 in
20) is just about OK.
Sunshine
Put your greenhouse somewhere that gets as much sun as possible; grow lights will
help germinate seeds and provide a bit of top-up light, but they are not a substitute for
the sun. The solar panel (if you’re running off grid) can be placed up to 3m away from
the main unit.
Power
Mains power is not needed unless you add heaters and/or grow lights. If you do add
mains power, you will need to work with a registered electrician to install an outside
power socket, or position your greenhouse within 5m of an indoor power socket. The
mains powered Harvst control units come with 5m of cable.
Water
If you have a garden hose, you can run a connection to your greenhouse. It can be as
far as you like from the tap.
If you don’t have a hose, you’ll need a pump, and a water tank of some sort. You can
use the Harvst tank, or a water butt if there’s one within 2m of your greenhouse. If you
live in an area that doesn’t get much rain, you might want to consider running a gutter
offshoot from another roof onto your greenhouse to collect more rainwater.
Base
Harvst greenhouses can be placed directly on the ground, on an existing raised bed, or
on one built especially for it. Consider how much soil depth you want to have for your
plants. At least 25cm (10”) is wise for many vegetables that are suitable for growing in a
Harvst mini greenhouse.
A 40cm raised bed under the largest Harvst greenhouse (1.2m * 2m / 4’ * 7’) will take
about 500kg of soil / compost. That’s about 10 wheelbarrows full - this will vary based
on the type of soil you get and how moist it is.
Containers are great for growing in; the greenhouse is designed to take standard
600mm euro stacking crates.
2. Attach baseboards to end panels
Parts
2 x pre-assembled end panels
2 x timber base boards
8 x 50mm furniture bolt and
barrel nuts
The base board with the double black
plastic track is on the front of the
greenhouse. The ribs on the timber
face out.
The base board with the single black
plastic track is on the back of the
greenhouse.
Attach the timber base boards to the
end panels, using the furniture bolts.
Tighten well.
3. Fit the rear shelf
Parts
1 x 30mm aluminium shelf
2 x 20mm M5 bolt and nut
The rear shelf (without the irrigation
pipe) is fitted to the bottom of the
plastic blocks using a single bolt at the
end of each shelf.
The bolt goes down through the plastic
block, through the hole in the shelf and
is secured underneath using a nut.
Tighten well.
4. Fit the front shelf
Parts
1 x Front shelf
2 x 20mm M5 bolt and nut
The front shelf is the angle aluminium
with a black irrigation pipe connected.
The twin water valves will fit on the
right hand side in the next step.
The closed end of the pipe goes on the
left.
Fit the shelf to the bottom of the black
brackets in the same way as you fitted
the rear shelf, and do the nuts up
tightly.
5. Fit the water valves
Parts
1 x water valves
1 x jubilee/pipe clip
See photos at:
https://www.harvst.co.uk/setup
View looking towards the end panel of
the greenhouse.
Fit the water valves to the right end of
the pipe on the front shelf.
The snap-on hose connector faces
backwards towards the rear of the
greenhouse, so that the bottom outlet
plugs into the front shelf pipe.
Secure the valve to the pipe with a
jubilee clip.
In the drawing you can also see a green
pipe going upwards, you will fit this
later (it’s black in real life).
6. Fit the front upright
The holes in the timber are designed to
have some play to allow for adjustment.
Parts
1 x square box section with
black plastic moulding.
2 x 55mm M5 bolt and nuts
2 x penny washer
2 x M5 washer and nut
Bolt the front upright loosely to the
inside of the front base board using the
large penny washer on the outside, and
a small washer and nut on the inside.
The riveted bracket faces inside the
greenhouse. Tighten the bolts later
once you have aligned it vertically.
7. Fit the cross-brace
Parts
1 x 60cm aluminium angle
1 x 30mm M5 bolt and nut
2 x 10mm M5 bolt and nut
3 x M5 washer
This part holds the front upright
securely to the two shelves, running
from the front of the greenhouse to the
rear.
Slide the cross brace between the
bottom of the front shelf and the black
water pipe, then, using a 30mm bolt,
attach the front to the right hand side
of the front upright (as you are looking
at the front of the greenhouse).
Use two M5 x 10 mm bolt, washer and
nuts to secure the cross brace to the
bottom of the front and rear shelves.
8. Fit the rear upright
Parts
1 x 20mm bar (approx 85cm)
1 x 8mm M5 button-head bolt
1 x M5 square nut
The bar will have a screw in one end.
This is the top.
Insert the 8mm bolt into the hole in the
rear shelf, with the head of the bolt
inside the greenhouse.
Fit the square nut, with the rounded
over edge towards the shelf. The
square edge of the nut will be towards
the end of the bolt.
It should look like this:
With the closed face of the bar facing
the rear (outside the greenhouse),
place the bottom of the front slot of the
upright bar over the nut.
Slide the bar down onto the stub in the
middle of the rear base board, and
tighten the bolt with a 3mm allen key.
9. Fit the rear panels
Fit the panels so that the pre drilled
holes for the control system are at top
right, and the large holes for the cable
ties are next to each other.
Parts
4 x Black rear panel
2 x Black plastic H-section
2 x cable tie
From behind, drop the four black
panels into the slot on the rear base
panel, and outwards into the slots in
the end panel uprights.
Slide the H-section down between the
panels.
Use the cable ties to secure the
H-section and rear panels to the
shelves.
10. Fit front bars and doors
The left hand door goes on the
rearmost track. The right hand door
(with both handles fitted the same way)
goes in the front track:
Parts
2 x Door bar (25mm box
section with twin black
plastic track)
2 x Door panel
1 x Door handle
2 x M5 pozidrive 16mm bolts,
2 nylock nuts and washers
Put the doors in as per the drawing on
the left. The right hand door has a
sticker at the top right.
Once the doors are in, put in the
support bars which have the track in
which the top of the doors slide.
On the left hand door, you’ll see two
holes for mounting the small handle.
Bolt the handle to the door using two
M5 x 16mm bolts, with a washer and
nylock nut on the inside of the door.
The right hand door doesn’t have a
small handle; you can use the long
handle attached to the side of the
door.
