LEGI ESTRAGON Garden Greenhouse 6 x 3 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI ESTRAGON 6 x 3 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 on both the outside and inside. 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 100 kg/m² - suitable for medium and higher altitude areas. (above 500 m above sea level)

The greenhouse glazing consists of clear hollow-chamber (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 increase by roughly 20-30%. Of course, this comes with a higher price for the greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate, specifically about 20% more. 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 can be done 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 mentioned base profile. For burying, excavated soil is sufficient, or we recommend sand or aggregate for reinforcement. When 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 among the easier ones compared to others. Another advantage of the LEGI Estragon 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 1 full day for two people. The construction is not technically demanding, but due to the robustness of the structure and the precision of polycarbonate cutting, 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 1 pack of ventilation tape (length 33 m) for this purpose.

Packaging

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