1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Greenhouse CAMELLIA R is designed to create an optimal microclimate for
growing vegetables, flowers and seedlings in the smallholding. The frame parts are
made of steel galvanized pipe with a square cross-section of 25 x 25 mm.
The greenhouse is intended to be covered with multiwall UV protected
polycarbonate.
The end faces and the frame intermediate arches are connected by five
longitudinal stringers. Transverse arch enhalf-arcrs are provided, 1 per an arch, to
achieve the strength of the entire frame. To exclude the slope of the frame end faces
under wind loads, end face diagonal rods are also provided, 2 pieces per each end
face.
Elements necessary for the assembly (self-tapping screws, bolts, nuts, fittings) are
supplied in boxes. To fasten the multiwall polycarbonate to the frame of the
greenhouse, steel galvanized tie bands with tensioning system are provided: one tie
band per each arc and end faces.

7. FASTENING OF MULTIWALL POLYCARBONATE (PC) TO THE ROOF
WARNING!
Before installation of PC on the roof make sure that the geometry of the frame is
correct.
The diagonal distance between the corners of the frame should be equal.
The longitudinal stringers must be plane, without bends and distortions.
It is necessary to remove the wrapping film from both sides of the sheet.
The front (facing the sun) side of the multiwall polycarbonate is marked by the
manufacturer with a special symbol (color stripe, sticker or other).
MUultiwall polycarbonate lines must be placed along the arches of the frame of the
greenhouse.
7.1. Mount the end sheets of tthePC
(from the end faces) at first. Install the PC
sheets so that they protrude (hang down)
50 mm beyond the edge of the end face.
7.2. Press the first sheet of PC with
tightening tape No. 35 (item 1) and fix one end of the tape with a self-tapping screw
No. 41 to the leg of the arch, below the edge of the polycarbonate.
7.3. Bend the tape at the place where the two holes are punched 5 cm apart
(item 2) so that the holes are opposite each other.
7.4 Insert the screw No.39 with two washers No.37 into the holes and tighten the
nut No.40.
7.5 Tighten the tie band by hand and fix the second end to the opposite leg of the
arch (item 3) with self-tapping screw No.41.
7.6. Center the tie band along the arch. Tighten the tie band with screw No.39
and nut No.40 through washers No.37 (Figure 12-2). The tie band should hold the
sheet tight against the arch.

- 14 -
7.7. Mount with overlapping joint the
intermediate PC sheet to the previous
sheet and tighten with the tie bands.
After installing all the sheets, check the
correct positioning of the PC sheets, the
parallel alignment of PC lines to the
arches, the position and the tension of
the tie bands.
At least once a year, check the tension of the tie bands.
11. GREENHOUSE INSTALLATION
Before starting operations, carefully adjust the site on which the greenhouse will
be installed.
Dig holes or trenches of sufficient length and width under the legs equipped with
grousers. Position the assembled greenhouse so that the bottom longitudinal
stringers are on the same level with the ground and the legs are deepened into the
ground. Backfill the legs with soil and apply tamping to the ground.
When lowering the greenhouse into the trench or holes, make sure that there is
no longitudinal misalignment of the frame and that the tie bands are not displaced
from the arches. After tamping the ground, make sure that the tie bands are not
offset to the sides and are along the arches. Correct if necessary.
A wooden frame or concrete or brick foundation can be used to enhance the
greenhouse.
Warning!
The greenhouse has a surface exposed to the wind. It is forbidden to leave the
greenhouse unfasten on the ground. Additional fastening to the ground with available
materials (rod, rebar, etc.) is necessary if the greenhouse is installed in windy area.
Do not install the greenhouse close (less than 2 meters) to buildings, safety
enclosure, fences.
The area on which the greenhouse is installed should be flat, without significant
differences in the level of the ground.

WARRANTEE OBLIGATIONS
1. The manufacturer guarantees that the greenhouse frame (hereinafter referred to as
the product) is new, fully equipped, and free from manufacturing defects.
2. The manufacturer is responsible for the completeness of the product.
3. The manufacturer is responsible for the assembly of the product according to the
instructions.
4. The warranty period for this product is twelve (12) months from the date of sale to
the purchaser through the retail network.
5. The warranty covers any manufacturing and material defects.
6. The warranty does not cover damage caused by corrosion of the product design
elements, snow and wind loads (more than 10 m/s).
7. The warranty is terminated in the following cases:
- failure to comply with the assembly and installation instructions;
- failure to comply with the requirements for greenhouse operation;
- in case of use of the greenhouse for purposes other than those for which it is
intended;
- in the event of force majeure (natural disasters);
- in the absence of the product datasheet.
8. The warranty does not cover cellular polycarbonate.
Warning!
In winter, in order to prevent deformation of the greenhouse parts under the exposure of
snow and wind loads, it is necessary to remove all sheets of multiwall polycarbonate from the
arched part of the greenhouse (the greenhouse roof) by removing tie bands. The advantage of
sheets removing for winter is that the snow gets inside the greenhouse, which during melting
enriches the soil with useful minerals and protects it from desalinization. An open roof over the
winter prevents pests from crawling into the warm greenhouse with the onset of cold weather
and eating the young shoots in the spring.
If it is not possible to dismantle the sheets, the arches should be enhanced from the inside
with T-shaped wooden supports (from a wooden bar of at least 50x50 section), by placing them
inside the greenhouse - one bar for each arch. Wooden supports are not included in the kit,
make your own. Depending on the climatic conditions and/or location of the greenhouse, it is
up to the purchaser to assess the possible snow load and, if necessary, to provide supports or
remove snow from the frame.
Failure to comply with the requirements above shall be the reason for rejection of product
warranty service.
Do not install the greenhouse closer than 2 meters to buildings, safety enclosures and
fences. If the greenhouse is installed in windy area, ensure its firmly fastening to the ground
using appropriate means (rod, rebar, etc.). Do not subject the greenhouse frame to excessive
mechanical stresses. Do not modify the construction of the product yourself.
