Greenhouse Florentina

Of course - please contact your dealer in Switzerland directly to place your order.

A pair of scissors is marked on the cardboard boxes with a pre-drawn cut on the edge of the box. The packages can be opened with a cutter knife there. Please lift the individual components carefully out of the packaging (please do not pull!).

If you do not unpack your Biohort product immediately, please ensure that the packages are stored in a dry place. Should the boxes get wet or damp, we can accept no liability for any subsequent damage to the goods. 

The boxes should be stored horizontally on a continuous, supporting surface.  

One single box can weigh up to 73 kg depending on the product.

Depending on size, the boxes are fitted with handles or recessed grips. We recommend that at least two persons carry the boxes due to their size and weight.

Our products are intended for self-assembly and are packed and delivered in individual parts. Depending on the products, the parts are packed in one or more sturdy corrugated cardboard boxes that are clearly labelled on the outside. Additional protection in the form of wooden slats, polystyrene and plastic fleece material is provided for sensitive parts. Orders containing more than nine boxes are partly shipped with additional packaging in the form of wooden crates. The customer is responsible for disposing of all of the packaging material.

A foundation must be erected for the Storage Sheds, Equipment Locker and the MiniGarage. Please refer to our foundation tips.

A level, solid hard surface is required for the WoodStock, StoreMax and HighBoard products as well as for the Romeo Patio Locker. These products must be anchored to this hard surface with the screws and dowels supplied.

The outdoor boxes (LeisureTime Box, LoungeBox and StyleBox) must also be installed on a level, solid surface. These products do not need to be secured to the ground.

The Raised Vegetable Bed, Belvedere Planting Bed, DaVinci and MonAmi Composter can be installed on all level surfaces.

The foundation must be absolutely level for the successful assembly of our products.  

With the Biohort SmartBase^PLUS foundation for slopes and lawns, it is possible to compensate for a slope of 15 cm. Extension sets for the ground screws can also be provided on request, to achieve compensation of max. 55 cm overall.  

Please note that with this foundation, only one side of the shed can be raised. The foundation screws are not suitable for raising the entire shed. 

On a firm surface, the SmartBase can compensate for a slope of up to 4 cm.  

See our Foundation Tips for more detailed information. 

An even, level hard surface is essential for successful assembly. Leave a space of at least 70 cm all around the assembly area. Please open the boxes as noted on the boxes themselves. Should any parts be damaged, do not fit them, but inform customer services immediately, enclosing photos.  

Please place the individual parts on suitable surfaces/supports to avoid scratches. Wear gloves during assembly - some parts may have sharp edges. 

Check the delivered goods for completeness (size, colour, number) and possible damage. Ensure that you have enough space (at least 70 cm around the foundation) and helpers to assist with the assembly. You are advised to read the assembly manual in advance.

The detailed product assembly manual is supplied. This can also be downloaded from our website.

This depends on a few factors:

• The skill of the "assemblers" and how many there are of them
• The weather conditions (never build in windy weather!)
• The space situation (at least 70 cm of space all-around)

Because we have years of experience, however, we can give guideline values. Please note that these estimates relate purely to the time taken for the work. Please read the assembly manual beforehand, including all notices. 

No specific specialist skills are required for assembly. A detailed assembly manual is supplied with our products. You can download the assembly manual in advance from our website.

Safety advice for each product can be found on the opening pages of the assembly manual.

Basically: 
Keep all small parts or packaging materials supplied away from small children during assembly. Some components have sharp edges or protrude. This should be borne in mind when assembling the product and during daily use. Gloves are included and can be used if necessary.  

Note that relatively high temperatures may develop in the garden shed (heat generation similar to that in a car). Find out the storage conditions for the products stored in the garden shed from the respective manufacturers.    

BikeLift: 
The aluminium rail must be examined before use to check that it is dry.  
Other people should also be prevented from standing in the danger area when you are using it. Children may only use the BikeLift under adult supervision.

Biohort products need very little care due to the high-quality materials used and careful workmanship. Simply lubricate the lock and hinges every year and regularly clean the StoreMax sliding rails or treat them with silicone spray. In the event of soiling due to weather and environmental conditions, clean using just water and the Biohort CleanLine Universal Cleaner. A high-pressure cleaner can also be used (maintain a distance of at least 10 cm between the lance and the lacquer. Do not use a steam cleaner. Max. pressure approximately 80 bar). To preserve the lacquer surface, we recommend Biohort CleanLine Preservation, which provides the lacquer surface with optimum protection against weather and environmental conditions. 

The gutter should be cleaned several times a year, to ensure optimum drainage. If the gutter is blocked, it may overflow. No liability can be accepted for any resultant damage.  

IMPORTANT: Sea air/ambient air containing salt water and/or salt, aggressive and abrasive cleaning agents, road salt, fertilisers, fresh concrete, screed materials and other chemical substances (never store this type of product in the open) can attack the lacquer and zinc surface, thereby leading to corrosion. Warranty claims are no longer valid in such cases. 

No, the electric drive can only be mounted on the drive support on the left (when standing in front of the Pergola). The drive support can be installed at the rear or front.

It is not intended for the Pergola to be mounted directly next to a house wall. It may be placed next to it, but all 4 uprights must be attached to the foundation. Please note that all of the uprights are designed with rainwater drainage.

The Sun Screen consists of a polyester/PVC (30/70%) fabric with 5% openness and a thickness of 0.57 mm.

We strongly advise against the cutting or shortening of the LED strip, as this would result in a loss of protection against moisture.

To re-establish the connection between the remote control and the control unit, the power supply must be disconnected. The power supply may then be reconnected after approximately 1 minute. From this point on, there is a 10 second window to pair the remote control. To do so, press and hold the remote control for 3 seconds during these 10 seconds. If the pairing does not work, unplug the control unit again for 1 minute and repeat the above instructions.

From the time the power is supplied during the initial commissioning, there is a 10-second time window to pair the remote control with the control unit . During this time, the remote control must be pressed for 3 seconds. If the pairing does not work, the control unit must be disconnected from the power supply for 1 minute. Then the above instructions shall be repeated.

Biohort colours do not correspond to any RAL number but some of them share similar features to RAL numbers. We recommend that you view the original colour samples at our dealers. If you wish, you can also request a colour sample chart from Biohort.

The products can be installed on a roof terrace if building regulations are met.

IMPORTANT:Ensure that products are anchored securely in case of stormy weather (fixing material supplied). Biohort cannot accept any liability for damage caused by insufficiently secured products.

Biohort products are subject to the DIN 4102 standard and are classified according to building material rating A1 under products without combustible components.

During the winter, it can generally be assumed that the temperature inside the product will equate to the outside temperature as there is no insulation.

Biohort products can heat up on exposure to prolonged sunlight in the same way as cars. Regular ventilation is required in this respect in order to regulate the temperature.

Biohort products do not emit any sounds on exposure to cold and heat as the steel plate has a very low material expansion coefficient (considerably lower than aluminium, plastic or concrete, etc.).
