LEGI TOMATO Garden Greenhouse 8 x 2 m, 6 mm

Product detailed description

The arched greenhouse by LEGI TOMATO 8 x 2 m made of polycarbonate is made of extra sturdy galvanized steel tubes (box-sections) 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 stands out for its durability and robustness. 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 (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, unless you live on 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 to a concrete foundation. When anchoring into 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 gravel 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 Tomato greenhouse is the already assembled greenhouse gables, which are supplied as 1 piece, to which only the doors and polycarbonate need to be attached. For the assembly itself, we recommend that two people set aside 1 whole 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 gables of the greenhouse, it is also advisable to tape the longitudinal sides of the greenhouse with ventilation tape. These can only be sealed during assembly of the greenhouse. Therefore, remember to purchase an extra package of ventilation tape (33 m length) for this purpose.

Packaging

Each shipment consists of a box with material, a package of profiles and the appropriate number of polycarbonate sheets measuring 6 × 2.1 m. One sheet is always used for cutting the gable parts, the remaining sheets are not cut - they are intended to cover the arches.

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