Garden Greenhouse LEGI TOMATO 4 x 2 m, 6 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI TOMATO 4 x 2 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 both on the outside and inside. Welded joints are treated with a zinc coating. Thanks to these parameters, the greenhouse excels in durability and robustness. Load resistance (snow, etc.) is up to 80 kg/m² - suitable for lower and medium (less windy) areas.

The greenhouse glazing consists 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 conditions of health safety.

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%. Naturally, the price of a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate is higher, specifically by about 20%. However, unless you live on mountain ridges or grow very demanding plants in the greenhouse, the 6 mm glazing variant is often sufficient.

Assembly

Anchoring the greenhouse is possible in two ways - by digging into the ground or anchoring 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 digging in, 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 among the simpler ones compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Tomato greenhouse is that the gable ends of the greenhouse are already assembled, supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the assembly itself, we recommend setting aside 1 whole 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 taping the gable 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, do not forget to purchase an extra 1 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 with dimensions of 6 × 2.1 m. One sheet is always used for cutting the gable parts, the other sheets are not cut - they are intended for covering the arches.

The contents of the package for individual greenhouse lengths are listed in the table below.
