The greenhouse in the garden opens up a lot of advantages over the agrarian. The easiest way is to purchase a ready-made frame, and then cover it with material that will most of all correspond to your own needs and money. One of the most accessible in this regard is the “Glory” series greenhouses, which will be discussed below.
Features of the “Glory” greenhouse with an opening polycarbonate roof
A series of greenhouses “Glory” is produced, while being a developer, by PKF Trainers Metal Structures Nizhny Novgorod LLC (abbreviated as TMKN). The rights of the company are confirmed by a patent and certificates of conformity of the Federation of technical regulation and metrology.
Did you know? For the first time, greenhouses began to be used in ancient Rome. They looked like wooden carts filled with a substrate in which plants were cultivated - during the day they were in the open air, and at night they were brought into the premises.
The most attractive of this series is Slava-SPdesigned for shelter with polycarbonate. Such a greenhouse is more reliable in terms of preserving plantings from return frosts, even in the absence of heating, than a model designed for film coating.
When making such purchases, you must immediately evaluate all the pros and cons of the products. This will help facilitate the maintenance and operation of structures.
Benefits
- The main advantages of this design:
- hinged roof - provides free access to the beds, and also provides an influx of fresh air, which helps to avoid problems with the development of fungal infections from overmoistening of airspace and soil;
- attractive value for money;
- ease of operation;
- the ability to purchase and install additional parts convenient for the user;
- the presence of window leaves in the doors and sidewalls;
- reinforced ends and the presence of additional jibs in the doors, which ensures the rigidity of the frame - the structure perfectly withstands strong winds, hail and rainfall;
- ease of assembly without special equipment and special skills;
- the possibility of installing a greenhouse without laying a capital foundation;
- the use of polycarbonate for coating - it is more affordable than glass, it penetrates the sun's rays well, and with significant damage it does not form fragments that can cause damage to the user and clog the soil on the beds.
Greenhouse "Slava Lux"
Polycarbonate greenhouses require lower heating costs, because they were created specifically to provide the optimal microclimate inside the structure, in which plants can develop normally and give a high yield in any weather conditions.
In addition, the considered greenhouses have a long service life. With the right approach, they can serve more than 20 years.
Disadvantages
The only drawback of the greenhouse is the flammability of polycarbonate. Upon contact with open flame, the material will begin to melt.
Construction characteristics
The greenhouse under consideration has attractive characteristics for users and several features that make it easier to operate, and also allow optimizing work on the site.
Compared with other structures, the frame structure has additional reinforcing ribs and reinforced ends, which provides better stability and allows not to build a foundation, but simply dig it into the ground. It is also possible to install on a base of wooden bars, which allows you to get a full portable greenhouse.
The length of the greenhouse varies depending on the user's preferences, so its installation is available even in relatively small areas. The parameter is easily changed using a special insert.
In the manufacture of structures using high quality materials that have a longer service life. In addition, the manufacturer provides for users the opportunity to purchase additional parts at their discretion.
Dimensions
The construction is an arch-type frame base designed for covering with a hundredth polycarbonate.
Important! Polycarbonate sheets not included - they are purchased separately.
Basic parameters of the greenhouse:
- length 2 m;
- height 2.1 m;
- width 3 m;
- distance between arched arches 0.65 m.
The structural strength is 90 kg / m². Such dimensions make it possible to cover an area of 6 m². It is possible to increase the length of the structure to 4 (ground coverage 12 m²) and 6 m (coverage 18 m²). With an increase in this parameter, others remain unchanged.
Materials
To create the frame, a galvanized channel profile with a closed square section of 20 × 20 × 1.2 mm is used. Strengthen it with additional stiffening ribs.

Important! When buying greenhouse constructions, always check the quality certificates and the compliance of materials with GOST. Poor or poorly processed starting materials can release toxins into the air and soil, which will cause poisoning of people who will consume products grown in the greenhouse.
Buying Criteria
The modern market presents a huge number of greenhouses created from various materials, which often confuses the user.
When choosing a finished design, you must be guided by the following criteria:
- Destination Definition - greenhouses are installed to meet the needs of the family or to obtain products for commercial purposes. If in the first case you can get by with a small structure, then in the second you need a capital construction, which will require larger financial investments not only at the initial stage, but also during operation.
- Model selection - greenhouse constructions are stationary and collapsible. With the first option, everything will be much simpler, because it is installed once. The second variation will have to be collected at the beginning of the season and disassembled at its end. If you get to the site only in season, then it will be more expedient to purchase just such a design.
- Construction height - it must be at least 2 m, so that the user has the opportunity to move freely inside, to carry out manipulations on the beds and grow plants with great growth power.
- Installation location - to get the maximum benefit from the presence of the greenhouse, you need to choose a place that is not blown draft and has the ability to maximize abundant lighting. There can be very few such places on the site, but the size of the greenhouse will depend on them.
- Doorway width - optimally, this parameter should be at least 1 m, which will ensure free passage of the car.
- Materials - the frame structure must be strong, resistant to corrosion. It is best to consider galvanized metal structures in this regard.
What can be grown in such a greenhouse
- In a greenhouse covered with polycarbonate, you can grow any garden crops:
- greenery;
- solanaceous;
- roots;
- flowers.
If the climate control system is equipped in the greenhouse, you can engage in the cultivation of exotic crops such as banana, citrus, kiwi. In the northern latitudes with risky farming, such structures can be used to grow dwarf fruit trees.
Did you know? Icelanders build greenhouses on geysers. This approach eliminates the cost of heating the premises.
From the variety of greenhouses presented on the modern market, the Glory line stands out. It was created taking into account the basic needs of users and is perfect for growing any crops. The main advantage is the reinforced structure and the ability to supplement it at your discretion with additional details.
