Also, the complexity of installation is noted; for an unprepared person, such work may take several days. However, despite the shortcomings, the demand for greenhouses remains stable from year to year, in addition, manufacturers take into account the opinions of customers and produce new, improved models.
Manufacturing materials
To create greenhouses of this brand, in most cases, a metal frame from a profile is used. Its advantage in reliability and convenient transportation - when disassembled, such products do not take up much space, so they are easy to transport.In addition, profiles made of profiles are more economical than those of pipes, which has a positive effect on the total cost of the greenhouse. The manufacturer also divides the design into three categories, according to the degree of strength of each of them:
- the most durable and reliable - titanic, to the representatives of this group are models called "Arrow", "Optima";
- average in terms of options - guaranteed strength, for example, “Twin”;
- standard - such as "Perchin".
Greenhouses, the strength of which is designated as titanic or guaranteed, are resistant to loads, so you can safely use them in any season. Standard for the winter you need to remove or install additional supports to the existing frame so that the structure does not deform under the weight of the snow. As a coating, it is proposed to use polycarbonate, but there are also inexpensive economy-class greenhouses that are suitable for wrapping film. As a rule, the latter are used only as a summer option. As for polycarbonate, it has a lot of advantages:
- high level of thermal insulation;
- good light transmission;
- UV protection;
- strength and resistance to mechanical stress;
- durability.
Polycarbonate surpasses film or glass in its qualities, therefore it is used for the construction of modern greenhouses. When ordering from this manufacturer, you can choose a complete set, including coverage, or restrict yourself to buying only the frame.
