"Kremlin" greenhouse: instructions and references

"Kremlin" greenhouses at the moment are considered the most reliable and durable structures of this kind in our country. They represent a model of original design, strong and very comfortable to use. There are several varieties of such greenhouses, differing in shape, color of the frame, profile type, etc.

Main design features

The basic model is the Kremlin Suite. This greenhouse has a height of 2.1 m. Its length can be different - from 4 meters and to infinity. But it is always a multiple of two. The frame of the greenhouse is made of a steel profile of 20 x 20 mm. The step between intermediate farms is 1 m. The lining is made of cellular polycarbonate. The basic model has a classical arched form.

What is the secret of the reliability of such a structure, as the Kremlin's glasshouse? The farm in buildings of this purpose is the most important element responsible for strength and durability. The stronger this constructive detail, the longer the greenhouse will last. The main feature of the "Kremlin" greenhouse is the presence of twin farms. Thanks to this, the structure can withstand very heavy snow loads - up to 300 kg per m ² . The double arcs are connected by nine steel crosspieces. Farms are prefabricated, consist of two halves. The distance between the arches in them is 10 cm. The step between the horizontal ribs is 610 mm. Thus, the size of a single cell-opening in the Kremlin's glasshouse is 610 (height) x 990 (width). The construction is assembled using special fasteners - "crabs" or "spiders" - with bolts. The frame is painted by powder technology at high temperatures. Therefore, periodic coverage does not require coverage of farms and jumpers.

Pins in the amount of 2 pcs. Each model has been equipped, including the base "Kremlin Suite". The greenhouse also has two doors at both ends. The latter consist of three halves. A similar design is provided specifically to facilitate transportation of the greenhouse to the destination. You can transport the dismantled frame on the trunk of an ordinary passenger car. The "Kremlin" hothouses do not weigh too much (one section - 30 kg).

Model "Star"

Structurally, this variety from the luxury system is practically no different. It is also an arched model with a skeleton on twin farms. The only difference is the color of the profile. In the basic model, the frame is brick red. The "Star" - turquoise.

The "Fairytale" model

The "Kremlin" greenhouse of this variety also has a strong frame made of double trusses. Its difference from the basic model in the form. The roof of the "Fairy Tale" designs is arched, and the walls are vertical. In addition, the greenhouses of this model have a slightly smaller height - 195 cm and a width of 2.5 m.

Despite the small size, the hothouse "Kremlin Fairy Tale" (reviews of which are simply remarkable) in gardeners is no less popular than "Lux". Since the walls of this model are straight, plants can be planted right next to them, hence the area of the beds grows. Thus, with a smaller size, "Fairy Tale" has the same capacity as other varieties of the "Kremlin" greenhouse.

Model "Bogatyr"

This variety is an enhanced version of the basic design and can withstand up to 400 kg of snow per 1 m ² . This strength is achieved by a smaller step between the farms. In the model "Bogatyr" he is 65 cm.

Other varieties

Other models of "Kremlin" hothouses are being produced. For example, the frame structure "Zinc" is made of galvanized steel, which allows you to extend the life of the farms in conditions of high humidity. The frame of the "President" model is made of stainless steel, "Premium" is galvanized and additionally painted. The model "Arrow" has a very original shape, reminiscent of an ancient helmet with a sharp tip. The frame of this version is made of a profile pipe 40 x 20 mm.

The Kremlin's Kremlin: reviews

Opinion about the designs of this brand in truck farmers who already had time to test them, there was very good. The fact that the transportation of all the dismantled models of the "Kremlin" does not represent anything complicated is already mentioned above. The consumers also consider the simplicity of the greenhouses of this brand as simplicity of assembly and installation, as well as reliability. All welded parts of the frame are flawless. When installing, you do not have to finish or polish anything. To assemble such a structure as the "Kremlin Luxury" greenhouse, whose reviews are especially enthusiastic, and any other model of this brand, can be literally in 3 hours.

The presence of two transoms allows for a qualitative airing, which is very useful for plants. These windows, in addition, are included in the cost of the greenhouse. In most other manufacturers, this option is paid separately. The convenience of use is enhanced by two doors from both ends. The cost of construction of this brand (18 000-32 000 rubles, depending on the model and size), most gardeners also happy. In any case, the quality of its performance is completely justified. Many gardeners have such greenhouses for several years. Information that someone had to repair them, is not available.

So, apparently, the design is really very good - the "Kremlin" greenhouse. Reviews about it are good. Of the shortcomings, consumers note only that it is necessary to transport models "Lux", "Fairy Tale", "Arrow" and "Star" cautiously. At strong impacts the powder paint can be broken off.

The order of building a greenhouse

The "Kremlin" hothouse of any model is going as follows:

• A light foundation is installed. Of course, you can put a greenhouse right on the ground. However, in this case, the lower strap will quickly rust.
• The ends are covered with polycarbonate, which is included in the kit.
• Are installed arched farms.
• Bracers are sewed.

Next, we will look at each stage of the greenhouse installation operation in detail.

Building a foundation

Installed "Kremlin" greenhouse should be in a sunny place, if possible protected from the wind. Uhryochenkok well for the beginning of marking by the method of the "Egyptian triangle". Further on the corners and in intervals with a step of 2 meters are installed bricks. Then the strap is assembled from a 50 x 100 mm bar. To the bricks it can be fastened with ordinary bolts. The main thing is to ensure that the fixation is reliable. The bar is pre-treated with an antiseptic and covered with oil for wood, varnished or painted. From the bottom, it is worthwhile to screw in the bolts (through and through) in steps of 50 cm. The lower strapping of the greenhouse will be attached to them later.

"Kremlyovskaya" greenhouse: assembly of end elements

To carry out the work on polycarbonate cutting, you should choose a flat area. First, a sheet is laid on it. The ends of the "Kremlin" greenhouse consist of three parts - the two extreme ones and the door. First, cut the side pieces. The order of the operation can not be violated, otherwise polycarbonate may not be enough. Because the elements of the greenhouse structure are very thin, it is most convenient to use them as a template. Cutting must be done with a very sharp paint knife.

So, let's begin to understand how the "Kremlin" hothouse is being mounted. Instructions for assembling the ends:

• The rounded side part of the butt is applied to the sheet at a right angle into the corner.
• The first element is cut. Knife polycarbonate is cut very easily. When cutting all the elements, you should leave allowances of 5 cm width.
• Then the lateral part of the end flips and is applied to the opposite corner of the sheet. Cutting is carried out in the same manner.
• The next step is to make the skin elements for the second end of the greenhouse.
• To make polycarbonate less, the "curl" is applied to the already cut out parts of the sheet top to the top.
• Next, open under the door.

After this, the front end frame is assembled. The hinge frame is fixed to the hinges (by means of screws). In the same way, the door itself is fastened to one of the side parts.

Next, the end skin is polycarbonate sheets. Mount them with special roofing screws with thermowells. On the usual fasteners this kind of skin is not fixed. The fact is that polycarbonate can slightly expand and shrink when changing the air temperature on the street. If you fix it rigidly on the frame, the cladding will very quickly become unusable. You can also use conventional screws, but in this case, leave a gap of 1 mm between the sheets and their cap. The diameter of the holes in the sheets should also be slightly larger than the diameter of the fastener rods. The finished sheathed end is installed in a strictly vertical position. To the wooden strapping it is fixed to the bolts, drill holes in the lower bridge first.

Mounting and skirting

After this, with a step for the basic model in 1 m, farms are installed. Alignment should be made according to the level. Then proceed to install horizontal jumpers. They fix them with special T-shaped "crabs-systems".

After the main frame is ready, the rear end is assembled according to the method described above. After installing it in place, it is possible to proceed with the polycarbonate trimming of the trusses. In this case, you do not have to cut anything. The sheets bend well and bend the archs entirely. They are fixed by roofing screws with a step of 50 cm. After the sides have been sheathed, the assembly operation of such a structure as the "Kremlin" greenhouse can be considered complete.

Useful tips for greenhouse care

The manufacturer gives a guarantee for the "Kremlin" glasshouse in one year. However, it can serve up to 10 years. In order to maximize the life of this structure, it is necessary to comply with such recommendations:

• Every year before the start of the season, the greenhouse should be washed with soapy water. This operation should be carried out exclusively with a soft cloth. Rigid brushes polycarbonate can not be washed.
• In winter, the snow that is retained on the walls and roof of the hothouse must be swept away. His weight "Kremlin" can withstand without difficulty. However, in case of warming, an ice crust may form on the surfaces, which is not very good for polycarbonate. After all, this material is not particularly resistant to scratches.
