Garden Greenhouse LEGI ESTRAGON 8 x 3 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI ESTRAGON 8 x 3 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra robust galvanized steel tubes (profiles) 20 x 20 mm. The galvanized coating protects the greenhouse frame against corrosion. The profile is galvanized on both the outside and inside. Welded joints are treated with zinc coating. Thanks to these parameters, the greenhouse stands out with its resistance and robustness. Load resistance (snow, etc.) is up to 100 kg/m² - suitable for medium and higher altitude areas. (above 500 m above sea level)

The greenhouse glazing consists of clear hollow-chamber polycarbonate with a thickness of 4 mm with UV protection, thanks to which it does not become brittle or yellow. The polycarbonate is certified and meets all conditions of health safety.

Are you deciding between 4 mm or 6 mm polycarbonate?

With 6 mm polycarbonate, the greenhouse naturally has greater overall resistance to weather effects. At the same time, thermal insulation properties are increased by approximately 20-30%. Naturally, the price of a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate is higher, specifically by about 20%. However, if you don't live on mountain ridges or grow very demanding plants in the greenhouse, the 4 mm glazing variant is often sufficient.

Assembly

Anchoring the greenhouse is possible in two ways - burying it into the ground or anchoring it to a concrete foundation. In the case of anchoring into the ground, the protruding profiles are buried in a trench in the ground up to the mentioned base profile. For burying, dug-up soil is sufficient, or we recommend sand or aggregate for reinforcement. In the case of anchoring to a concrete foundation or lost formwork, the profiles intended for burial are not fitted. The individual ends of the greenhouse arches are anchored to the concrete base using so-called angle profiles (not included in the package).

The greenhouse uses an original connecting system and profiles, and the construction of this greenhouse is among the simpler ones compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Estragon greenhouse is that the greenhouse gables come already assembled, supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the construction of the greenhouse itself, we recommend allowing a full day for two people. The construction is not technically demanding, but due to the robustness of the structure and the precision required for cutting the polycarbonate, it requires relatively more time.

In addition to taping the gables of the greenhouse, it is also advisable to tape the longitudinal sides of the greenhouse with ventilation tape. These can be sealed during the assembly of the greenhouse. Therefore, don't forget to purchase an extra package of ventilation tape (33 m length) for this purpose.

Packaging

Each shipment consists of a box with material, a package of profiles and the appropriate number of polycarbonate sheets measuring 6 × 2.1 m. One sheet is always used for cutting the front pieces, other sheets are not cut - they are intended to cover the arches.
