DIY assembly instructions for greenhouses "Agrosphere" ↑
All necessary fasteners (washers, bolts, nuts, screws, hinges), T-legs, frame parts, ends, vents, doors are supplied. For the installation of the greenhouse, a foundation device is not needed, but it can be installed on a frame of wooden beams, or on a concrete base. The assembly is quite simple: unlike most other manufacturers, whose kits are more like a designer, consisting of a large number of parts, the set of elements of the “Agrosphere” is small.
The junction of the frame pipes
- Horizontal elements (2 m long) are assembled using nuts and bolts (M6). A wrench number 10 is useful for this process.
- Polycarbonate is attached to the structural parts with self-tapping screws (4.2 by 25 mm) with a galvanized washer (a rubber seal is provided under the “hat”). In the right places in the frame, the holes for the screws are already drilled.
- In polycarbonate, holes should be made that are a couple of millimeters larger than the self-tapping screw to take into account the thermal expansion of the material.
- To cut polycarbonate sheets you will need a construction knife, or an electric jigsaw. During cutting, the protective film must not be peeled off (this will protect the surface from scratches).
- For each model, the instructions provide a scheme for cutting sheets of covering material and a step-by-step guide to installation and assembly (short and very clear).
- The frame is installed in a level place. If a foundation or wooden frame is used, then T-shaped mounts are not needed.
- The polycarbonate coating for the winter is not removed. At the end of the season (in autumn), it is recommended to wash the surface of the greenhouse without using aggressive detergents, for example, a mild soap solution.
In conclusion ↑
The Agrosfera company provides a guarantee for its greenhouses for a period of one year, for cellular polycarbonate - for six to fifteen years.

Some points when operating greenhouses Agrosfera
Agrosfera polycarbonate greenhouses have long been popular and in demand, as they are durable and reliable, excellent in rain and mechanical damage, retain heat well inside the structure, and polycarbonate protects from direct sunlight.
Due to the fact that the greenhouses of the Agrosphere are presented in several variations, any gardener will choose a modification that will meet his requirements.
To make the right choice of the necessary greenhouse, the following factors should be considered:
- What vegetables do you need a greenhouse for?
- what size section is allocated for the structure,
- building size
- climate,
- lighting and heating.
When choosing an Agrosphere greenhouse, remember that the material used and the thickness of the supporting structure are determined by how strong and stable the building will be. In addition, the service life depends on the thickness of the coating. The Agrosfera company has been producing durable high-quality greenhouses for a long time, which have long earned the trust of users.
To assemble and install any model of the greenhouse is quite simple, since it is completed with clear instructions, as well as all the necessary details, namely, elements for the frame, legs, doors, window leaves, ends and fasteners.
Assembling a greenhouse does not imply an early foundation, as it is mounted on a frame made of wood or on a concrete base. Mounting the system is quite easy, because in comparison with many similar models, Agrosfera greenhouses have few elements, so they are assembled quickly and simply.
Mounting the greenhouse, first assemble the frame in accordance with the manual and install on the site, which is prepared and aligned. When installing the structure on a wooden frame or concrete base, legs are not needed. Then, polycarbonate sheets are attached to the frame using self-tapping screws. When the main parts are installed, proceed to mount the doors and windows. It is not necessary to remove the polycarbonate panels for the winter period, so when harvesting is over, all the details of the structure will have to be carefully washed with a mild solution of detergent.
