LEGI TOMATO Garden Greenhouse 6 x 2 m, 4 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI TOMATO 6 x 2 m made of polycarbonate is manufactured from extra sturdy galvanised steel tubes (profiles) 20 x 20 mm. The galvanised finish protects the greenhouse frame against corrosion. The profile is galvanised on both the outer and inner side. Welded joints are treated with a zinc coating. Thanks to these parameters, the greenhouse stands out for its durability and robustness. The load resistance (snow, etc.) is up to 80 kg/m² - suitable for lower and medium (less windy) areas.

The greenhouse glazing is made of clear hollow-chamber (cellular) polycarbonate with a thickness of 4 mm with UV protection, thanks to which it does not become brittle or turn 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 conditions. 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 a mountain ridge 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 - digging it into 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 in the ground up to the aforementioned base profile. For burying, dug-out 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 easier options 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 door and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the actual construction of the greenhouse, we recommend allowing two people a full day. 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 greenhouse assembly. Therefore, do not forget to purchase an extra 1 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 corresponding number of polycarbonate sheets measuring 6 × 2.1 m. One sheet is always used for cutting the end panels, while the remaining sheets are not cut - they are intended to cover the arches.

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