Garden Greenhouse LEGI TOMATO 8 x 2 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arch greenhouse by LEGI TOMATO 8 x 2 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra robust galvanized steel tubes (profiles) 20 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 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.

Greenhouse glazing is made 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.

Wondering whether to choose 4 mm or 6 mm polycarbonate?

With 6 mm polycarbonate, the greenhouse of course has greater overall resistance to weather conditions. At the same time, thermal insulation properties increase by roughly 20-30%. Naturally, the price of a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate is higher, specifically by approximately 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 - by burying it in the ground or anchoring it to a concrete foundation. In the case of anchoring in the ground, the protruding profiles are buried in a trench up to the mentioned base profile. For burial, excavated soil is sufficient, or we recommend sand or gravel for reinforcement. In the case of anchoring to a concrete foundation or lost formwork, the profiles intended for burial 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 among the simpler ones compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Tomato greenhouse is the already assembled greenhouse ends, which are supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the construction itself, we recommend allowing two people to set aside 1 full day. 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 greenhouse ends, it is also advisable to tape 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 1 pack of ventilation tape (33 m length) 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 piece of sheet is always used for cutting the front pieces, other sheets are not cut - they are intended to cover the arches.

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