Garden Greenhouse LEGI MANDARIN 6 x 3 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI MANDARIN 6 x 3 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra robust galvanized steel tubes (profiles) 40 x 20 mm. The galvanized coating protects the greenhouse frame against corrosion. The profile is galvanized on both the outer and inner side. Welded joints are treated with zinc coating. Thanks to these parameters, the greenhouse stands out for its durability and robustness. Load resistance (snow, etc.) is up to 180 kg/m² - suitable even for higher altitude areas. (above 500 m above sea level)

The greenhouse glazing consists of clear hollow-chamber (multiwall) 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 health safety requirements.

Trying to decide between 4 mm or 6 mm polycarbonate?

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

Assembly

The greenhouse can be anchored in two ways - by burying it into the ground or anchoring it to a concrete foundation. In the case of anchoring into the ground, the overhanging profiles are buried in a trench in the ground up to the aforementioned base profile. For burying, excavated 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 burying 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 building this greenhouse is simpler compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Mandarin greenhouse is its already assembled front ends, which are supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the actual construction of the greenhouse, we recommend allowing 1 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 greenhouse's front ends, it is also advisable to tape the longitudinal sides of the greenhouse with ventilation tape. These can be sealed during the greenhouse assembly. Therefore, don't forget to purchase an extra package of ventilation tape (length 33 m) for this purpose.

Packaging

Each shipment consists of a box with material, a package of profiles, and the corresponding 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.
