RULES OF OPERATION
The greenhouse should be serviced in the winter period. The greenhouse has durability
under the action of snow loads way more than is required for greenhouses, but less for
some snow areas in comparison with the general construction standards. According to SNIP
2.10.04-85 «Greenhouses and seedbeds» «weight of snow blanket on 1 m
2
of horizontal
surface of the ground in design of static greenhouses…» should be taken from 10 to 40 kg/
m
2
depending on a snow region. This is much less than the general construction standards for
snow load, because it is assumed that on the current greenhouses a snowcap is not preserved
until the next snowfall. According to the results of strength tests the limits of durability of the
greenhouse frame are revealed: destroying snow load is 196 kg/m
2
, permissible load (with
safety coefficient 1.4) – 140 kg/m
2
.
The permissible load approximately corresponds to the thickness of fresh snow 0.9 m and
settled snow 0.45 m. Thus, in operation it is necessary to prevent accumulation of snowcaps
above specified limits.
If the greenhouse is not heated in winter, or it is supposed to use the greenhouse as an
unheated housing, awning, warehouse, etc., it is necessary to control the snowcap (to shift
the snow down with a wooden or plastic scraper, installed on a pole). For these variants of
operation it is possible to supply reinforced frames with a reduced interval between the power
arcs under the snow load specified by the customer.
Do not allow damage to the frame, and if it happened, then hold timely repairs
It is not allowed to install the greenhouse without fastening on the ground because
of the large sail area of the greenhouse and the possibility of floating away the
unfastened greenhouse.
INTRODUCTION
Be careful during the assembly! Parts have sharp corners. Beware of cuts! The works
shall be carried out in gloves.

Some parts have remaining
free holes which is the result of
the parts uniformity.
Do not violate instructions! Do
not install the bolts and nuts
without washers - this may
reduce the strength of the
frame!
CLEANING AND WASHING OF THE POLYCARBONATE SHEETS.
1. Rinse the sheet with warm water.
2. Wash the sheet with a solution of mild soap or household detergent and warm water,
using a soft cloth or sponge to remove dirt.
3. Rinse with cold water and dry with a soft rag to remove water.
Never use abrasives or highly alkaline cleaning compositions for cleaning
polycarbonate sheets. Dry rubbing of the surface will damage the protective
layer of the cladding and shorten its shelf life. Never rub the surface of
polycarbonate sheets with brushes, metallic cloth or other abrasive materials.
when disinfecting the greenhouse from pathogens causing fungal and
bacterial diseases, do not use «sulfur blocks» to avoid frame corrosion
(blackening).
