What is the wall thickness of the metal?

14466 read it

Sometimes buyers are interested in the thickness of the pipe wall (metal thickness) from which the greenhouse frame is made, but they do not always understand how to measure this parameter, and often take the seller's word for it. It is useless to ask about this thickness by phone or at the sales office without measuring it yourself.

An example of a similar telephone conversation.

Customer:

- Hello, how much is your frame pipe wall thickness?

The answer of the manager of the first company:

- 1.5 mm.

Customer:

- Thank you bye.

Then the buyer calls the other company:

- Hello, how much is your frame pipe wall thickness?

The answer of the manager of the second company:

- 2 millimeters, we have a very strong pipe.

Customer:

- Super - take me a greenhouse.

The buyer was misled during the consultation by both the first and second companies. From such thicknesses as 1.5 and 2 mm, in our experience, no one produces garden greenhouses. And it turns out that the Buyer bought where he was more deceived =). 99.9% of people will not be able to determine the thickness of the metal by eye. What was brought to them was brought to them. Many sellers sell greenhouses with a pipe wall thickness of 0.45-0.6 mm. This is very small, in fact – tin.

Attention! When buying or accepting, pay attention to the arcs of the greenhouse. Arcs made of thin metal are often uneven, with corrugation and creases. In frames made of such pipes, even roof screws do not hold, not to mention the strength of the frame itself.

Others save not only on the thickness of the metal wall, but also on the size of the pipe. For example, the 20x20 pipe is already being replaced with the «Armenian» size of 17x17. Our company does not engage in such manipulations. In the frames of our greenhouses, we use metal with a wall thickness from 0.9 mm to 1.2 mm, depending on the type of greenhouse and its elements.

If you want to buy a really strong, beautiful and carefully made greenhouse, contact the company «GREENHOUSE FACTORY» and ask the manager to recommend the model that does not require maintenance in winter.

The step of arcs in a polycarbonate greenhouse is 0.65 or 1 meter - which one to choose?

The step of arcs in a polycarbonate greenhouse is 0.65 or 1 meter - which one to choose?

The strength and durability of the greenhouse depends on several factors, including the distance between the arcs (racks) of the frame. This distance is called the "arc step". Ceteris paribus, the more often the arcs are located near the frame, the more reliable it is and, accordingly, a polycarbonate greenhouse with such a frame will withstand a large snow and wind load. From our experience, we know that the optimal distance between the arcs for a polycarbonate greenhouse is a step of 0.65 m.

Berries in a greenhouse

Berries in a greenhouse

We are used to the fact that cucumbers, tomatoes or peppers are most often grown in a greenhouse. But what if we plant berries instead of the vegetables we are used to? Thanks to the greenhouse, favorable conditions are created for the growth of plants and the ripening of fruits. The greenhouse protects from bird raids, from frost and sudden changes in temperature, from strong winds and other adverse weather events. Moreover, it becomes easier to take care of the berries than in open beds. For example, in the north, in the Vologda Oblast, we managed to harvest strawberries 1 month earlier in the greenhouse than in the open field. We harvested the first crop in May.

Beds in a greenhouse. Comparison of materials and prices

To make it comfortable to work in the greenhouse, it is necessary to correctly and rationally arrange the beds. Their design will give the greenhouse a well-groomed appearance, and when watering, weeding and other chores, the soil will not lose its shape. Most often, gardeners make two beds on the long sides, along the walls.

Shelves and hanging table in the greenhouse

In our experience, we see that many people consider the greenhouse as a place intended exclusively for growing plants and try to occupy all the space for planting by making uncomfortable small narrow passages between the beds, least of all thinking about how to be and work in the greenhouse themselves was convenient and comfortable . We will write an article about the placement of beds a little later, but for now, about how, in the process of working in a greenhouse, sometimes there is not enough shelf where you can put garden tools, gloves, fertilizers, etc.
