Garden Greenhouse LEGI MANDARIN 8 x 3 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI MANDARIN 8 x 3 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra sturdy 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 sides. 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 greenhouse glazing is made of clear twin-wall (multi-wall) 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.

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 roughly 20-30%. Of course, 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 don't grow very demanding plants in the greenhouse, the 4 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. In the case of anchoring into the ground, the protruding profiles are covered with soil in a dug trench 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 burying are not used. 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 that the greenhouse ends come pre-assembled, supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the construction itself, we recommend allowing one full day for two people. The construction is not technically demanding, but due to the robustness of the structure and the precision of cutting the polycarbonate, it requires relatively more time.

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