The polycarbonate sheets are to be mounted after the frame assembly is completed. First mount the side
sheets, then the middle ones; it is required that the sheets are oriented in such a way that the bending direction
follows the cell direction (
Figure 6
). Mount the sheets so that they overrun the end arcs (end-wall arcs) by at
least 5 cm. The polycarbonate sheets are installed so that they overlap with each other along the long side.
Carefully align the sheets and fix them with the screws, first along the bottom edge, and then along the
arcs according to the drilled holes.
Attention!
Do not forget to remove the packing tape from the both sides of the sheets!
Step 5. Greenhouse installation
Before installation start, carefully level the greenhouse installation area. Insert the anchors into the arcs
(into every second arc for the greenhouse with 1 m spacing, and into every third arc for the greenhouse with 0.67
m spacing) and the end-walls from both sides
(Figure 8)
.
Attention!
Make sure to fix the anchors to the arc with the screws with a pressure pad.
Make the ground recesses for the anchors which are deep enough to completely accommodate the
anchors. Install the assembled greenhouse so that the bottom crossbar rows are levelled with the ground, and the
legs and polycarbonate sheet edges are buried in the ground. Then fill the anchor recesses with ground and firm
it. As an option, it is possible to use a wooden frame or a concrete foundation for the greenhouse installation.
Figure 8 – Anchor installation
Attention!
The greenhouse has a high windage area. Do not leave an assembled greenhouse not
anchored to the ground.
Attention!
The “Garant Triumph sectional Modular arc” greenhouse has a specific shape, which has
to be taken into account during foundation laying (Figure 9).
