Greenhouse "Botany" of polycarbonate or glass

The "Botanik" greenhouse is made gable or arched. The first option can be implemented with glass, but in this case the weight of the structure increases and a foundation is needed. You can also use cellular polycarbonate.

Experts advise to use it with a larger thickness (6 mm), which increases the strength of the structure.

The foundation is advisable to do for any greenhouses, as the strength of the structure increases, the interior space and the beds can be raised higher.

Cheaper, more economical and easier to make arched greenhouse "Botanist". In this case, fewer seams are obtained and the construction will be hermetically sealed. Many prefer the arched version also due to the ease of installation. It can be put directly to the ground, and it is immediately ready for use.

Two-stage greenhouse "Botanist"

The advantage of the greenhouse is an aluminum frame on which glass or cellular polycarbonate is fixed. There are structures made of galvanized steel. They are cheaper, but harder. The manufacturer notes the sufficient stability of the structure, which can be used for several seasons without modification and prevention. Two pane windows provide the necessary ventilation of the greenhouse inside. The difference from other designs is the sliding door. If desired, it can be converted into a swing. Gable roof allows you to crawl snow, without creating a significant load.

With a width of 2.8 m and a height of 2.5 m, the room is quite spacious. The length of the frame can be from 1.8 to 8.73 m. The number of sections is from 5 to 14 pieces, which provides the necessary strength of the structure.

Advantages of the two-tier greenhouse "Botanist"

The advantages of the design are:

• Lightweight frame of high strength aluminum;
• Modern bearing profile, allowing to install automatic ventilation and watering systems, lighting with heating, collection from the roof of the water, shelves, shading, garter devices;
• Elegant appearance with a large selection of different options (classic, with a tambour, with elegant forms);
• New system of fastening of glasses;
• Ease of assembly;
• Tight seal.

Arched greenhouse

Polycarbonate greenhouse "Botanic" is a stationary structure, but it is easily assembled and disassembled. You can add the necessary number of sections to it. The multiplicity is 2 m. This requires a minimum amount of material: arcs, screeds, fasteners and cellular polycarbonate.

As a frame material, aluminum is usually used, but it is also possible to find cheaper structures from the steel profile. Arcs are made in the form of a one-piece tube with a square cross-section of 20x20 mm. The distance between them is maintained from 0.67 to 1 m. If the region with strong winds and heavy snowfalls, you should choose the minimum step between the arcs. Butts are made mainly all-welded, but different manufacturers have their own technologies. The standard width of the greenhouse is about 3 m, and the height is 2-2.5 m.

Choice of greenhouses

For arched greenhouses strength is important. When choosing, pay attention to the distance between the arches, the presence of ties and reinforcement, as well as the thickness of the coating. In the greenhouse the house draws attention to the angle of the skates. It should ensure the sliding of snow.

Often instead of polycarbonate sold shelter of polypropylene, strength and resistance to frost which is much lower. Important is the reliability of the metal coating of the carcass, which must be weatherproof. It makes sense to further strengthen the greenhouse if there is a suspicion of insufficient strength.

Assembly of the greenhouse "Botanist" can be done by one's own hands. Manufacturers always provide instructions for installation and operation.

Conclusion

When choosing a greenhouse "Botanist", it is important to correctly find the relationship between price and quality. Buy a design in the form of a house or arch - a matter of taste, technical characteristics and material possibilities.
