Garden Greenhouse LEGI MANDARIN 6 x 3 m, 6 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI MANDARIN 6 x 3 m made of polycarbonate is made of extra robust galvanized steel tubes (profiles) 40 x 20 mm. The galvanized finish protects the greenhouse frame against corrosion. The profile is galvanized on both the outer and inner side. Welded joints are treated with a 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 - also suitable for higher-altitude areas. (above 500 m above sea level)

The glazing of the greenhouse is made of clear hollow-chamber (multiwall) polycarbonate with a thickness of 6 mm with UV protection, thanks to which it does not become brittle or yellow. The polycarbonate is certified and meets all health safety requirements.

Deciding between 4 mm or 6 mm polycarbonate?

With 6 mm polycarbonate, the greenhouse naturally has greater overall resistance to weather influences. At the same time, thermal insulation properties increase by roughly 20-30%. Of course, a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate also has a higher price, specifically about 20% more. However, if you don't live on mountain ridges or grow very demanding plants in your greenhouse, the 6 mm glazing variant is often sufficient.

Assembly

Anchoring the greenhouse is possible in two ways - by burying it into the ground or anchoring it to a concrete foundation. When anchoring into the ground, the protruding profiles are buried in a trench in the ground up to the aforementioned base profile. Excavated soil is sufficient for burying; alternatively, we recommend sand or aggregate for reinforcement. When 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 among the simpler ones compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Mandarin greenhouse is the already assembled greenhouse ends, which are supplied as 1 unit, to which only the door and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the actual construction of the greenhouse, we recommend allocating one full day for two people. The construction is not technically demanding, but due to the robustness of the frame and the precision required for cutting the polycarbonate, it requires relatively more time.

In addition to taping the ends of the greenhouse, it is also advisable to tape the longitudinal sides of the greenhouse with ventilation tape. These can be sealed only 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, the other sheets are not cut - they are intended to cover the arches.
