01. Cleaning and removing plant debris
Clear out all old plants, dead leaves and debris to prevent pests and mold. Wash glass or plastic panels thoroughly to ensure maximum light penetration during the winter.
02. Check the structure and seal joints
Inspect the frame for damage or loose parts, and tighten any screws. Make sure all joints, doors and windows are sealed to prevent cold air from entering.

Apply bubble wrap to the inside of the greenhouse panels for extra insulation. This helps to retain heat and protects the plants from the cold.
04. Heating
If you have the opportunity to wear a little light heating on the coldest days, this is recommended. A small heating fan or other heat source
05. Remove snow from the roof regularly
If you live in an area with a lot of snow, you will need to regularly remove snow from the greenhouse roof to avoid overloading. Consider installing temporary supports for extra safety
