TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE of GREENHOUSE “MAGNOLIA”
DISCRIPTION
The greenhouse “MAGNOLIA” is designed to create the climate, which is productive to grow
horticultural crops on the garden plots.
The length of the greenhouse is 13’ (4m) width is 10’ (3m) and height is 7.1’ (2.15m) 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

5. INSTALLATION OF CELLULAR POLYCARBONATE (CP) TO THE ENDS
The required number of sheets and cutting patterns for cellular polycarbonate are
given at the end of the instructions Annex 1.
The greenhouse frame is designed to be covered with
Cellular polycarbonate 4mm thick
Attention! When installing the Polycarbonate, it is important that the lines of
the joint venture cells are located vertically (from top to bottom). That is necessary
to remove the wrapping film from both sides of the sheet. The front (facing the sun)
side of cellular polycarbonate is indicated by the manufacturer with a corresponding
symbol (colored stripe, sticker, or in another way).
5.1. Cut the polycarbonate into pieces according to the cutting pattern Annex 1.
5.2. Attach part “A” of Polycarbonate to the end door, aligning the bottom edge
of the polycarbonate with the bottom lintel of the end. Fix part “A” with self-tapping
screws 46 through thermo washers 47 according to the polycarbonate fastening
scheme (see below).
5.3. Attach part “B” of Polycarbonate to the left side of the End-Face "A" and “B"
and part “C”to the right side of the End-Face "A" and “B", aligning the lower edge of
the joint venture with the lower lintel of the End-Face. Fix parts “B” and “C” with self-
tapping screws 46 (19 mm) through thermo washers 47 according to the scheme for
attaching polycarbonate to the End-Face (see below).
5.4. Mount the polycarbonate on the Back-end in the same way.
5.5. Cut off the protruding edges of the Polycarbonate along the outer edge of
the frame.

6. MOUNTING OF CELLULAR POLYCARBONATE ON SIDE WALLS
Parts “E” with dimensions 2100x1670mm are used for side walls mounting. Annex 1.
6.1. Start mounting the Polycarbonate sheets “E” on the sides from the ends.
Attach a sheet of polycarbonate to the wall of the frame, aligning the top of the sheet
in the center of corner No. 29, and the side edge of the joint venture along the end
post (without a protrusion).
6.2. Fix the Polycarbonate with self-tapping screws 46 through thermo washers
47 to the side posts and progressive stringers according to the following fastening
scheme.
6.3. In the same way, mount the remaining side sheets of the polycarbonate,
overlapping with the previous ones, and also on the opposite wall.
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).
Scheme for attaching polycarbonate to the side walls
Attention! The Polycarbonate sheet is not attached to the end posts!
(The vertical polycarbonate joint will be fixed with an outer triangle corner 30)

7. MOUNTING OF CELLULAR POLYCARBONATE ON THE ROOF
Attention! When installing the polycarbonate, it is important that the lines of the
Polycarbonate cells are located on the roof along the arcs, and on the side walls -
vertically.
Parts “D” with dimensions 2100x3250mm are used for Roof mounting. Annex 1.
7.1. Start the installation of the Polycarbonate sheets on the roof from the ends.
Lay the joint venture on the roof so that the sheet protrudes (hangs) over the edge of
the end above the door by about 5cm. The lateral edges of the polycarbonate (with
open honeycombs) should overlap the upper edge of the polycarbonate on the wall,
but not protrude outward, so the polycarbonate will need to be trimmed after
installation ...
7.2. Press the sheet of the polycarbonate with a strapping tape 31 on one side of the
arc (1) and fix the end of the tape with a self-tapping screw 45 to the side post:
7.3. Bend the tape in the place where two holes (2) were punched at a distance of
5cm from each other so that the holes are opposite each other. Insert the 43 screw
with two 42 washers into the holes, slightly tightening the 44 nut. Pull the Steel Tie
band 31 by hand, press the SP tape and fix the other end with self-tapping screw 45
to the opposite post (3).
7.4. Align the Steel Tie band along the roof arch. Tension the strap by tightening
screw 43. The strap should hold the sheet tightly against the arch.
7.5. Mount the intermediate sheet of the polycarbonate (for a greenhouse with a
length of 6m and more ONLY!) with an overlap with the previous sheet and press
down with tie straps.
7.6. After installing all the sheets, check the correct position of the polycarbonate
sheets, the parallelism of the honeycomb lines in relation to the arches, the position
and tension of the tie straps.
Check the tension of the tie straps once a year!

9. INSTALLATION OF THE GREENHOUSE
9.1. Before starting work, you should carefully level the site on which the
greenhouse will be installed.
9.2. Dig holes or trenches sufficient in length and width under the lugs.
9.3. Set up the assembled greenhouse so that the lower end lintels are flush with
the ground and the lugs go deeper into the ground.
9.4. Cover the lugs with soil and press the ground down.
When lowering the greenhouse into a trench or pits, make sure that there is no
longitudinal distortion of the frame and no displacement of the tie straps from the
arches. After tamping the ground, make sure that the tie straps are not sideways
and are located along the arches. Adjust tapes if necessary.
To strengthen the greenhouse, you can use a wooden, concrete or brick
foundation.

ATTENTION!
The greenhouse has a sailing. Do not leave the greenhouse on unfortified ground.
When installing a greenhouse in a windy area, additional fastening to the ground with
improvised materials (rod, reinforcement, etc.) is required.
Do not install the greenhouse in close proximity (less than 2 meters) to buildings,
fences or walls.
The area where the greenhouse is installed must be flat, without significant
changes in ground level.
In winter, in order to exclude deformation of the greenhouse parts from the
effects of snow and wind loads, it is necessary to remove all sheets of cellular
polycarbonate from the arched part of the greenhouse (greenhouse roof) by
dismantling the tie straps. The advantage of removing the sheets for the winter
period is that snow gets inside the greenhouse, which, when it melts, enriches the soil
with useful minerals, protects it from desalination. The roof open for the winter
prevents a situation in which harmful insects crawl into a warm greenhouse with the
onset of cold weather, and in spring they eat young roots and sprouts.
If it is not possible to dismantle the sheets, it is necessary to reinforce the arches
from the inside with T-shaped wooden supports (made of a wooden bar with a cross
section of at least 50x50mm), placing them inside the greenhouse - one bar for each
arch. Wooden supports are not included in the set, they are made independently.
Depending on the climatic conditions and (or) the location of the greenhouse, the
buyer himself must assess the possible snow load and, if necessary, put supports or
remove snow from the frame.
Failure to comply with the above requirements is the basis for refusal to provide
warranty service for the product.
Install the greenhouse no closer than 2meters to buildings, fences and fences.
When installing the greenhouse in a windy area, provide a rigid attachment to the soil
surface with the help of improvised means (rod, reinforcement, etc.). Do not expose
the greenhouse frame to excessive mechanical stress. Do not alter the design of the
product yourself.
