Polycarbonate solutions for greenhouse, canopy, canopy, fence
In this article, we will talk about the use of polycarbonate sheets for the construction of greenhouses, sheds and various fences. Transparent honeycomb polycarbonate (PC) is used as a covering for greenhouses, which allows to increase the yield and reduce the ripening period of heat-loving crops. It is important to understand that only a transparent PC is needed for a greenhouse. colored has a lower percentage of light transmission, plants simply do not have enough sun.
A few tips for the use of polycarbonate for the construction of greenhouses For an unheated greenhouse, which is used in the spring-autumn period, a thickness of 4, 6 or a maximum of 8 mm is sufficient, BUT: for each thickness of the PC there is a calculation of the supporting structure lathing! This is necessary in order for the material to withstand snow and wind loads, which are characteristic of our region.
Basic rules for installing polycarbonate:
- PC sheet unidirectional. Stiffeners are parallel to the length of the sheet. The stiffeners must be vertical on the structure! - high-quality PC (about it below) has a UV protective layer on one side. PC without UV protection, with "bulk protection" - wasted money. So, the sheet must be installed with a protective layer outward, i.e. to the sun. It is not necessary to dismantle polycarbonate for the winter, otherwise why install polycarbonate at all? - special connecting profiles are used to connect sheets. The profile is attached to the supporting structure. Joints of sheets with an overlap or across the bar are unacceptable according to the installation rules, such connections give leaks, cracks form, the bar freezes, rivets are torn off by the descending snow-ice mass. to protect the ends, special end tapes are used. The upper end is closed with a sealing tape (solid). The sealing tape can be replaced with sanitary tape. The lower end is closed with a special perforated tape through which condensate flows out, and dust, dirt, insects do not get inside. - the end profile is installed on all free ends of the material, over the tape. the material should be fixed on self-tapping screws with a rubber seal (washer). The hole for the screw is drilled more than the diameter of the screw, because PC has a large coefficient of thermal expansion. Self-tapping screws are fastened every 40-60 cm throughout the entire structure, 3-5 cm are indent from the edge of the sheet. You cannot pull the material with a self-tapping screw, otherwise the top layer of the PC will be broken. - PC overhang - 3-5 cm. No more and no less!The lower end is closed with a special perforated tape through which condensate flows out, and dust, dirt, insects do not get inside. - the end profile is installed on all free ends of the material, over the tape. the material should be fixed on self-tapping screws with a rubber seal (washer).

The quality of polycarbonate is very difficult to determine by its appearance. Before buying, do not be lazy to ask to see the PC in stock. Sheets should be stored on flat surfaces or in racks. Storage of PC sheets rolled up or on the edge is not allowed.
The surface of the sheet should be free of foreign inclusions, cracks, scratches, dents, blisters, inclusions in the form of black dots, surface irregularities, peeling or damage to the protective coating, protruding edges and burrs on the edges of the panel. Slippage of material, air bubbles, non-uniformity of color on colored material are also not allowed. Stiffening ribs should be located strictly at right angles, no waviness of ribs along the length of the sheet is allowed.
High-quality polycarbonate is guaranteed for 10 years, and the estimated service life is 25-30 years. For lightweight - 5 years warranty, estimated service life 15-20 years.
Baltresurs Company will help you to realize your plans for the construction of polycarbonate structures. We are engaged in radius flexible pipes, installation and manufacture of metal structures, sale of cellular and monolithic polycarbonate at low prices.

The arches are the main structural element in a canopy, greenhouse, canopy, pergola. With its help, you can make a hangar, warehouse, utility room, fences, bridges, awnings (for a car, over the pool), and much more.

What is it actually about? The arc is the main structural element in any of the above structures. All other elements can be made independently and it is not difficult. So, for the manufacture of a 6x3 meter greenhouse, 7 arcs + 60 meters of a 20/20 profile pipe + 4 sheets of cellular polycarbonate are needed. In this case, you can choose one of three purchase options:
Option 1: You buy arcs, molded pipes, connecting elements, polycarbonate. Prepare, assemble, paint the structure yourself. This option is the most demanded and the savings will be very significant.
Option 2:You buy prepared structural elements (cut to size, with drilled holes, with prepared structural elements. But at the same time, the end parts are not assembled, the greenhouse is not painted.
Option 3: A ready-made greenhouse, taking into account your wishes. In a similar way, you can make a canopy, a canopy, a gallery, pergola, gazebo, bridge over the ditch, beautiful gate, etc..
