Greenhouse TITAN Dome 320
Manual

Dear clients!
Aer making the decision of buying a greenhouse you received a carefully made item. Its
framework is made from special (1mm of thickness and 78mm width) proles produced
from galvanized metal which are extremely strong.
Due to uncomplicated instruction this greenhouse is easy to construct.
Because of additional items, you will be able to accomplish your ideas.
We keep the rights to make variations associated with the improvements of technolo-
gies. Some pictures and instructions may be dierent because of that.
We wish you a lot of joy and success with our greenhouse.
Attention!
Always use safety gloves when constructing the framework of the greenhouse and
working with polycarbonate cover.
Tools you will need for the construction:
• Hexagon wrench with the diameter of 8 mm or wrench with open end.
• Cross-head screwdriver or screwdriver for battery
• Shovel to dig pits
• Spirit level to measure equability of the ground.
• Rope to measure the diagonal
• Knife to cut polycarbonate sheets
If necessary, follow the instructions from local building area.
In case of strong wind or storm close the windows and doors.
Before starting the construction, you should read all the instruction at least once and
understand dierent sections and proles. is is a helpful guide for you. Compare the
list of parts with the parts in the package. en sort out the sections and leave them in
separate places.
It is highly recommended to screw the screws easily with hands at rst – if needed, you
will be able to rotate sections. Aer the construction, you should measure equability of
the framework and only then tighten the screws.

Scheme for cutting polycarbonate
Use appropriate side of polycarbonate! Side with protective layer, which protects
from UV radiation, must be on the outside. Protective layer is covered with plate
which contains writings; other side (which has to be on the inside) is covered with
clear tape. If sheets need to be cut, we recommend using electric saw, handsaw with
ne teeth or sharp knife. Tape must be removed prior to installation! ALWAYS
WEAR GLOVES WHEN CUTTING!

Diagram for cutting one polycarbonate 2100x6000 mm sheet for standard greenhouse (dou-
ble door at the front end, wall at the back end):

Installation instruction
1. Foundation is assembled by using front end and back end parts of foundation (17) and
foundation side parts (15). All parts must be connected in such manner that it would form
a rectangle. Use foundation corners (18) and connect all these parts together by using bolts
M5-12 (26), M5 nuts (29). Don’t tighten, just screw in loosely with hand (1.1-1.4 pic).
1.4 pic.

2. Measure the diagonal length of foundation
(example 2). Both diagonals must be equal in
length. If diagonals are equal – tighten the screws
of foundation (2 pic).

For greenhouses TITAN Dome larger than 10 m2,
foundation connection plates (19) are used for
foundation extension. ey must be attached by
using bolts M5-12 (26) and nuts M5 (29) (1.5 pic).
If greenhouse's length is 6 m - foundation must be
connected between: 4 m (15) + 2 m foundation
extension (16).

If greenhouse’s length is 8 m – foundation must be connected between: 4 m (15) + 4 m
foundation extension (16).
If greenhouse’s length is 10 m – foundation must be connected between: 4 m (15) + 4
m (15) + 2 m foundation extension (16).

3. Excavate the pits (25 cm in diameter, 40 cm in depth) for side – bottom posts (NR. 3) at
attachment points in the foundation (3.1 - 3.2 pic).
4. Using screws M5-12 (26) and nuts M5 (29) attach polycarbonate installation plates (22) to
front end and back end parts of foundation (17) (4.1 - 4.2 pic).
5. Preparation of post for placing into ground. Using
screws M5-12 (26) and nuts M5 (29) attach the
parts, that connect post to the ground, to side-and
bottom post (NR. 3), tighten the connecting parts
(NR. 4) (5 pic).
6. Tighten side-bottom posts (NR. 3) to side parts of assembled foundation, using screws M5-

installing post reinforcement rails (NR. 5)
using screws M5-12 (26) and nuts M5 (29)
(example 7). Same actions must be carried
out on both sides (7 pic).
With larger than 10 m2 greenhouse TITAN
Dome, additional rails must be used for
reinforcement of post.
If greenhouse length is 6 m - post
reinforcement rails must be connected like
this: 4 m (NO. 5) + 2 m (NO. 6).

NOTE: if assembly of greenhouse is carried out by one person or if greenhouse is longer
than 2 m – each arch can be assembled separately and connected to framework before
adding reinforcement rails (NO.5 and NO.6)
10. Attach remaining reinforcement rails (NO.5) to top post (NO.1) by using screws M5-12
(26) and nuts M5 (29) (10 pic).

17. Tighten the skylight prole (NO. 13) in between side posts at the point of your choice. Use
screws M5-12 (26) and nuts M5 (29). NOTE: it is not recommended to place skylight in a
place where two polycarbonate panels go on top of each other (i.e. at posts 4th, 7th, 10th,
13th and so on) (17 pic.)
18. Because screws were not completely tightened in order to be able to adjust the position of
proles – next step is to level assembled framework by using leveler tool, check the diagonal
length for a second time and only then cover the pits.
19. Installation of covering. NOTE: If your greenhouse has additional doors, back end
of greenhouse must be formed without H connecting prole – same as at the front end
(see 21 p.). Assemble the framework of greenhouse, cut polycarbonate according to given
dimensions and attach it to framework. Installation of polycarbonate must be started from
back end of greenhouse. Put side-end part of polycarbonate sheet on framework at the back
end of greenhouse, mark bending radius with marker and cut out a bend. Or you can simply
attach the sheet to framework using screws M5-40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31), and then
cut the polycarbonate according to prole of framework by using sharp knife or jigsaw (19
pic).

20. Put 1850x400 mm side-end part (4th sheet in polycarbonate cutting diagram) and side-
end polycarbonate part, that you have cut-out, side by side and connect them with plastic H
connection prole (33). Screw connected polycarbonate sheet to corners of polycarbonate
installation and pole installation corners (20; 21) and polycarbonate installation plates (22)
by using screws M5-40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31). Attach to posts of back end part of
greenhouse by using screws M5-40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31) and then cut polycarbonate
according to framework prole by using sharp knife or jigsaw (20 pic).
Use appropriate side of polycarbonate! Side with protective layer, which protects from
UV radiation, must be on the outside. Protective layer is covered with plate which
contains writings; other side (which has to be on the inside) is covered with clear tape.
If sheets need to be cut, we recommend using electric saw, handsaw with ne teeth or
sharp knife. Tape must be removed prior to installation! ALWAYS WEAR GLOVES
WHEN CUTTING!

both sides (2nd and 3rd sheets in polycarbonate cutting diagram), mark the bending radius
with marker and cut out the bend, or simply attach the sheet to framework using screws M5-
40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31), and then cut the polycarbonate according to prole of
framework by using sharp knife or jigsaw. Front middle part of greenhouse must be le empty
(for doors). Screw side-front polycarbonate parts, that you have cut out, to polycarbonate
installation and pole installation corners (20;21) and polycarbonate installation plates (22)
by using screws M5-40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31). Attach to posts of front end part of
greenhouse by using screws M5-40 (28), nuts (29) and spacers (31) (21 pic).

channel covering. Polycarbonate sheet of 2100 x 6000 mm must be used for roof covering.
For greenhouse of 4 meters length you will need 2 sheets of 2100 x 6000 mm and so on. Four
sheets of 2100 x 2980 mm must be cut out from this sheet. Attach protective aluminum foil
sealant strip to top channels of these sheets by using glue (32). Bottom ends of sheets must
remain open.
