LEGI ESTRAGON Garden Greenhouse 8 x 3 m, 6 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI ESTRAGON 8 x 3 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra robust galvanized steel tubes (box profiles) 20 x 20 mm. The galvanized finish protects the greenhouse frame against corrosion. The profile is galvanized on both the outer and inner sides. 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 is made of clear twin-wall (multi-wall) polycarbonate with a thickness of 6 mm with UV protection, thanks to which it does not become brittle or turn yellow. The polycarbonate is certified and meets all conditions for health safety.

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 are increased by approximately 20-30%. Naturally, the price of a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate is higher, specifically by about 20%. However, unless you live at 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 burying it in the ground or anchoring it on a concrete foundation. In the case of anchoring in the ground, the protruding profiles are buried in a trench in the ground up to the aforementioned base profile. For burying, excavated soil is sufficient, or we recommend sand or aggregate for reinforcement. In the case of anchoring on 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 Estragon greenhouse is the already assembled greenhouse ends, which are supplied as 1 piece, to which only the door and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the actual construction of the greenhouse, we recommend allocating a whole day for two people. The construction is not technically demanding, but due to the robustness of the frame and the precision of 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 only be sealed during the assembly of the greenhouse. Therefore, don't forget to purchase an extra package of ventilation tape (33 m long) for this purpose.

Packaging

Each shipment consists of a box with materials, 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 parts; the other sheets are not cut - they are intended for covering the arches.
