We had the same problem. I scoured the internet and finally found this website: http://www.littlegreenhouse.com/flowerhouse-spring.shtml with a link for these directions at the bottom: http://www.greenhousekits.com/resources/greenhouses/Flower-Spring-Ins.pdf You have to go to the 3rd or 4th page for the right directions. Good luck!!

I don't know. Mine is half folded in a plastic bag. I've seen other people do it and its like a trick of the wrist and seems to take unbelieveable coordination, which apparently I do not have.

Place the chair on the ground on its side. Simultaneously push the red button down (located on left side just under the seat) and pull the lever up. While pushing and pulling, kick the legs of the chair with your feet to fold it. It's actually quite hilarious how difficult it is to fold this chair.

Ok...since the solar cover is a perfect circle this is how we fold it.1. Place flat and fold in half to form a semi-circle.2. Fold semi-circle to form a quarter circle, now it looks like a slice of pizza.3. Fold again as before to form a 1/8th circle4. Now...go to the where the center of the circle was and begin to roll up towards the outer perimeter of the circle.This will evacuate any air that is trapped.Note: Do not be too aggressive or you will pop some of the bubbles.For long term storage cable time joined together will suffice. The cover survived the winter this years in a shed in NYC. Ok...since the solar cover is a perfect circle this is how we fold it.1. Place flat and fold in half to form a semi-circle.2.

I agree with Mary M. on how to fold it. We keep ours in the house, and only take it out a few times a year. I don't sit in the sun, so I haven't had any problems with the material.

Honestly (and I apologize, I know this isn't going to be much help...) it's usually an experiment to figure it out. We lay it on its side (one door and about four panels touching the ground) and collapse the sides until we find one that naturally collapses. From there, it's kind of like folding a map--we'll fold a side in, and if it doesn't feel like it's collapsing naturally, we'll unfold and try another side. I know this sounds tedious, and I think it took us about 5 - 10 minutes the first time, but after you get it once or twice it just gets easier to fold. We can usually get it into the bag in about a minute. Good Luck---Happy Holidays!

You twist it. Kind of like a car sun shade. Hold each side, twist in opposite directions, and then push or collapse it together.

I take it you are taking the cover off to open it. Lay on ground and wasbtop side off. When dry fold in half 2-3 times, and geg as much air as you can out. Then start folding length wise getting air out. Should fit in a trash bag when done.

I agree that the picture instructions would be no help! Sorry I cant be any help, I am just gonna leave mine up in a spare room so I dont even have to try to fold it!

I puzzled over how to fold the rack as well. What worked for me was turning the rack upside down, then gently pulling the legs together.

I'm with you! Just did it after fooling around with it for about 30 minutes. Yikes! I was able to get it into it's not "so easy compact design". So follow the directions from the other comment about folding it at 9 and 3 o'clock and then forming two small circles lying on top of each other and use one of the "side pockets" to pull it over the entire thing. Good luck!

I could not find a way to replace the zipper on mine but I got some 1" x 2" and some strapping and made a wood door frame. I attached the wood frame to the metal tubing at the top and bottom and made a door frame and covered it with the plastic that will not zip after I cut it off the greenhouse. Wish I could attach a drawing for you.

It arrived assembled just folded down. You push down on levers to collapse. Super easy.

Remove the top and bottom first. Then find the side that has the big rubber band retention band. Then fold every other side in a zip zag caterpillar motion in on itself. It should look like the picture on the box and the assembly card of itself. Now squash it like an accordion and stretch the elastic band around it. Now it can fit in it's carrying case. Hope this helps.

I haven't folded it up yet, but I'm sure it could be folded up and put in a gallon size baggie. I plan on taking it on my vacation on Oct 12, I could let you know then if that's not to late. I REALLY love this bag!

It took several attempts before we got it right. We took the top (after unzipping it) and folded it, then the floor. I can't tell you exactly how we folded it. Just keep trying. It was a struggle to get it in the bag/case without help. Don't give up. You can do it.

Hello. Just raise the top until you hear a click, them you just fold the bottom into the top part. It was really easy once I figured it out.
