LEGI TOMATO Garden Greenhouse 6 x 2 m, 6 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse of the LEGI TOMATO 6 x 2 m brand 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 a zinc coating. Thanks to these parameters, the greenhouse stands out for its resistance 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 influences. At the same time, thermal insulation properties are improved by roughly 20-30%. Naturally, the price of a greenhouse with 6 mm polycarbonate is higher, specifically by about 20%. However, if you do not live at the top of 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 - burying into the ground or anchoring 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, dug-up 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 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 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 actual construction of the greenhouse, we recommend setting aside 1 full 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 greenhouse ends, it is also advisable to tape the longitudinal sides of the greenhouse with ventilation tape. These can be sealed during the assembly of the greenhouse. Don't forget to buy an extra 1 pack 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 measuring 6 × 2.1 m. One sheet is always used for cutting the front parts, the 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.
