TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE of GREENHOUSE “CAMELLIA”
DISCRIPTION
The greenhouse “CAMELLIA” is designed to create the climate, which is productive to grow
horticultural crops on the garden plots.
The length of the greenhouse is 13’L (4m) width is 10’ (3m) and height is 7’ (2.10m) with ability
to extend length by 6.5’ (2m) up to 32.5’ (10m) the surface of the protected soil is 130 ft2.
The frame of the greenhouse is made of square galvanized pipe 1”x1” and it is assembled with
the studs, screws, nuts.
The kit includes everything you need to assemble the frame and fasten the covering. The
foundation of the greenhouse is not obligatory to install but recommended. The greenhouse is
fixed on the ground by digging in to the ground special frame endings.
For fixing cellular polycarbonate to the greenhouse roof, galvanized steel strapping tape is
used.
The greenhouse covering is completed on buyer’s request. To cover the greenhouse you need
a greenhouse frame is designed for covering with cellular polycarbonate 4 mm thick with a High
Density of at least 0.7 kg / m2. The greenhouse has two doors, one on each end and two vents.
Assembly instructions and operating rules
The greenhouse should be assembled and installed on the ground according the instruction.
The buyer should control the assembly quality if it is made by third person.
Self-tapping screws of mount structure should be tightened to contact the flat head of the
screw with the covering surface and hold it to the frame, but do not allow the extra rundown of
the screws.
Avoid installing the greenhouse closely to the buildings and trees. The melting snow or ice is a
potential hazard. The recommended distance is minimum 7ft.
The greenhouse is designed to endure the wind of less than 50mph.
There is no need to skin the greenhouse during the winter time for the greater parts of the
regions of Canada and USA. If the greenhouse in not looked after during winter, the customer
should determine the possible snow load or to skin the covering.
The limit snow load for the frame takes place when the weight of the snow blanket is
240 kg/m2 (120Lb/ft2) of horizontal ground surface. This limit snow load requires characteristic
snow load of the North snow region (according the classification of construction rules and
regulations “Loads and actions”).
For assembly, you will need: a 10mm wrench, a screwdriver with a PH2 attachment,
a sharp knife, a carpenter square, a level, a 7-10 m tape measure*, a ladder and
protective gloves.*Metric measuring tape needed! Cm/mm

6. POSITIONING OF CELLULAR POLYCARBONATE ON THE ENDS “A”,”B”
Important!
For Polycarbonate positioning it is important that all cellular lines be
located in a vertical position (downwards). Be sure to remove the
wrapping film from both sides of the sheet. The manufacturer marks
the work face (sunward) of cellular polycarbonate with a certain mark
(a color bar, sticker or other).
To prevent moisture from entering the polycarbonate open
honeycomb and inside the greenhouse, we recommend sealing the
joint of polycarbonate sheets along the entire length with a
waterproof self-adhesive tape (dense tape or similar material).
6.1. Put the 2100 х 6000 mm Polycarbonate sheet face up on the even
surface.
6.2. Cut the sheet lengthwise into 2 equal parts of 1050 х6000 mm.
Cut the sheets into parts according to the cutting pattern:

6.6. Fasten the door holder No. 49 to the right crosspiece of the end
with self-tapping screws No. 46, and fasten the hinge of the door
holder on the lower door lintel for the holder to fix the door in the
open position (see the figure above).
6.7. Insert door handles from set No. 48 to Ø12 apertures in the doors
(be sure to pre-drill relevant holes in polycarbonate). Put the catch lock
and cover plate on the backside, fasten the handle and cover plate with
self-tapping screws No. 46.
6.8.Fasten door latch No. 51 with self-tapping
screws No. 46 from inside between the lower
and upper doors, so that the doors can be locked
up with each other. For this purpose, unscrew
the self-tapping screw in the door corner, mount
the latch, and tighten the self-tapping screw
again.
7. POSITIONING OF CELLULAR POLYCARBONATE ON THE ROOF
IMPORTANT!
Prior to positioning Polycarbonate on the roof, make certain that the
frame geometry is correct.
Diagonal distance between the frame angles must be equal.
Longitudinal stringers must be straight, free from curves and skewing.
Be sure to remove the wrapping film from both sides of the sheet.
The manufacturer marks the work face (sunward) of cellular
polycarbonate with a certain mark (a color bar, sticker or other).
Polycarbonate cellular lines must be located along the frame arches of
the greenhouse.

- 14 -
7.1. First, position margin
Polycarbonate sheets (from the
ends). Position Polycarbonate
sheets so that they overlap
(overhang) the end edge by 50
mm.
7.2. Press down the first Polycarbonate sheet with fixing strap No. 31
(position 1) and fasten one end of the strap to the arch foot beneath
the polycarbonate edge with self-tapping screw No. 46.
7.3. Bend the strap in the place where there are two holes punched at
5 cm distance from each other (position 2) so that such holes are
opposite one another.
7.4. Insert screw No. 43 with two washers No. 42 into the holes and fit
nut No. 44.
7.5. Stretch the fixing strap tight by hand and fasten the second end to
the opposite arch foot with self-tapping screw No. 46 (position 3).
7.6. Align the fixing strap centrally along the arch. Stretch the fixing
strap tight when drawing screw No. 43 up tight (figure 12-2). The fixing
strap must draw the sheet close to the arch.

- 15 -
7.7. Position the intermediate
Polycarbonate sheet with overlap
to the neighboring sheet and press
it down with the fixing straps.
After all sheets are positioned,
check whether Polycarbonate
sheets position is correct and
whether cellular lines are parallel
to the arch bows. Check the position and tensioning of fixing straps.
Check the fixing strap tensioning at least once a year.
8. INSTALLATION OF THE GREENHOUSE
8.1. Before starting the work, thoroughly level the site where the
greenhouse will be installed.
8.2. Dig pits or trenches of adequate length and width under the lugs.
8.3. Install the assembled greenhouse so that lower crosspieces of the
ends are on a level with the ground and the lugs dig into the ground.
8.4. Backfill the lugs and tighten the ground.
When lowering the greenhouse into the trench or holes avoid
longitudinal skewing and displacement of fixing straps from the
arches. After the ground is tightened, check that the fixing straps are
not displaced and are located along the arches. Rearrange the straps
when necessary.
The wooden, brick or concrete foundation can be used for fixing the
greenhouse.

- 16 -
ATTENTION!
The greenhouse has a surface exposed to the wind. Do not leave the
greenhouse unfixed. When the greenhouse is installed in a windy area,
use any additional available materials (rods, bars, etc.) for attachment
to the ground.
Do not install the greenhouse in close proximity (less than 2 meters) to
any buildings, barriers, fences.
The site where the greenhouse is installed must be flat, free of
significant level differences.
To prevent from distortion of the greenhouse parts exposed to snow
load and wind load in winter, remove all cellular polycarbonate sheets
from the greenhouse arches (greenhouse roof) by removal of fixing
straps. The advantage of sheets removal for the winter is that snow
falls into the greenhouse so enriching the soil with useful minerals
when it melts, and protects it from desalination. The roof open in
winter prevents the situation when harmful insect crawl into the
greenhouse when it turns cold, and eat fresh sprouts in spring.
If removal of sheets is impossible, it is necessary to strengthen the
arches from inside using T-shaped wooden baulks (made of timber of at
least 50x50mm section) installed within the greenhouse – one baulk
per each arch. Wooden baulks are not included in a supply package and
are made by customers by themselves. The customer must
independently estimate probable snow load and install baulks or
remove snow from the frame when necessary, depending on climate
conditions or and/or location of the greenhouse.
Failure to comply with the above requirements is the basis for refusal
to provide warranty service for the product.
Install the greenhouse at least in 6.5’ (2 meters) from any buildings,
barriers, fences. When the greenhouse is installed in a windy area, use
any additional available materials (rods, bars, etc.) for attachment to
the ground. Do not expose the greenhouse frame to extreme
mechanical actions. Do not modify the greenhouse design by yourself.
