Reviews of greenhouses "Manor" and "Tsar's House" - characteristics and features

A high-quality greenhouse at the dacha is the key to a rich harvest not only in the first, but also in subsequent years of operation. Choosing a greenhouse is not so easy, especially for a beginner, because the modern range of such structures is very wide. The Tsarskaya greenhouse is an excellent option, which also has several variations in shape.

How to choose a greenhouse

First, let’s find out by what criteria experienced summer residents choose a greenhouse. After all, newcomers to the world of gardening are completely unfamiliar with this area, and choosing the right greenhouse for them can be a very difficult task. And an incorrectly selected design can not only upset a novice summer resident, but even harm all his work, failing to live up to expectations.

First of all, a novice gardener must decide what crops he will grow. After all, some people don’t want to get involved with capricious plants and prefer to cultivate radishes, onions and potatoes, while others don’t look for easy ways and immediately go to buy the most mysterious and rare plants. Although even ordinary tomatoes will not be easy for a beginner in the world of gardening to cope with.

Examples of bed layouts, sizes and their arrangement

It is the types/varieties of crops that have the greatest influence on the choice of greenhouse type and its size. If you plan to plant tall cucumbers or tomatoes, then you will need a fairly high arched or straight-walled greenhouse with a width from wall to wall of at least 3-3.5 m. Drop-shaped greenhouses, by the way, are also suitable for cultivating tall varieties, but it is recommended to place such plants in a garden bed, equipped in the middle of the structure, since the highest point of the structure is located in the ridge part.

It is also very important to pay attention to what the greenhouse is made of, including the frame. It is on this that the service life of the structure, its strength, ability to withstand the onslaught of the elements and thick layers of snow on the surface of the coating largely depend. Remember that a greenhouse with a wooden frame is more environmentally friendly, but is very demanding to maintain and constantly needs attention. A PVC frame is not afraid of either rust or rotting, but it is perhaps the weakest frame. So the plastic base has very few advantages - it’s not worth spending money on it.

A metal frame for a greenhouse has many advantages

The metal profile frame is in great demand due to its high strength and durability. It costs more, but provided the material is sufficiently thick, it is not afraid of either wind or snow. The frame can be painted or galvanized (the latter option is better, since galvanizing does not peel off or peel off).

On a note! To ensure that a painted metal frame lasts as long as possible, carefully inspect the coating for damage. If the paint peels off the frame, these places are carefully cleaned with sandpaper and repainted.

You should also evaluate what the structure is covered with. Polyethylene film is the most short-lived and fragile material. Every season it has to be removed and re-stretched, it breaks from the slightest physical effort and even with careful use it quickly becomes unusable. Glass has excellent qualities - it is durable, not afraid of temperature changes, and transmits light well. Its main drawback is its fragility (it breaks even after minor impacts).

Film greenhouse

The best option for covering a greenhouse is polycarbonate. It retains heat perfectly, is quite durable, is not afraid of sudden temperature changes, and is easy to install. And the price of the material is reasonable if you compare it with the quality. Therefore, it is recommended to choose a greenhouse made of polycarbonate and a galvanized or painted metal profile. The greenhouses of the “Tsarskaya” series belong precisely to these.

“The Tsar’s House” – a durable frame and expanded capabilities

The “Tsar’s House” greenhouse is no less popular among consumers - a high-strength arch-type structure, presented at a very affordable price. One of the main advantages of structures of this type is the optimal combination of parameters such as price and quality - in this aspect the product is truly unparalleled.

"Royal House" in the process of installation

Features and uniqueness of the frame

“The Tsar’s House” is characterized by improved rigidity indicators, easily withstanding a snow load of over 200 kg per 1 m2 of base.

Excellent strength characteristics eliminate the need to dismantle the greenhouse for the winter, and the galvanized frame allows you to reduce maintenance to a minimum - annual painting is absolutely unnecessary here.

The frame is made of galvanized profile, section 40x20 mm. Using special equipment, the product is rolled along the edge, which can significantly improve its strength data and load resistance. The pitch between the arcs is 1 m, and the frame itself is presented in an all-welded design, which reduces installation time and simplifies the process.

The width of the structure is 3 m, height is 2.1 m, length is 2 m or more (the length of the inserts is also 2 m). For greater stability, the standard version of the greenhouse is equipped with three transverse pipes, while the Tsarsky Domik Lux Zinc greenhouse has 5 such pipes. The covering is made of polycarbonate 4 mm thick with a top protective layer that protects against ultraviolet radiation.

Basic greenhouse equipment

The delivery package for Usadba brand greenhouses includes everything required for installation. To increase service life, it is recommended to use a strip foundation as a base, for example, from a wooden beam with a cross-section of 10x10 cm.

The kit includes:

1. Arches and ends of the frame.
2. Cellular polycarbonate for covering.
3. Mounting type "crab-system".
4. Roofing screws.
5. Doors with windows built into them.
6. Accessories.

In addition, polycarbonate greenhouses "Tsar's House" can be additionally equipped with the following devices and structural elements:

• vents for installation on the roof,
• auto ventilation system,
• a partition to divide the structure into several sections,
• equipment for drip irrigation of cultivated crops and other devices.

Assembled frame

Main advantages of the model range

Among the main advantages of the design, experts highlight the following:

• all-welded frame capable of withstanding significant external loads;
• galvanized coating;
• use of a “crab system” to connect body components;
• selection of the length of the structure at the request of the user;
• simple assembly requiring a minimum of time and effort.

It is worth recognizing that such designs stand out among the numerous competitors on the market.

Direct evidence of this is the numerous positive reviews about the “Tsar’s House” greenhouse - farmers and summer residents appreciate not only its quality and reliability, but also its high efficiency, as well as its quite affordable price tag.

Main characteristics

A series of Russian-made greenhouses under one general name “Tsarskaya” was created on the basis of experience and previously identified shortcomings of other designs. These country houses were designed to become stronger and more reliable than the previous versions, which were the prototype of the heroines of the article. What are the features of the “Royal” greenhouses?

Construction of the "Tsar's House" greenhouse

Construction of the Tsar's Arrow greenhouse, 2.7 meters

The first and one of the main points is a special reinforced frame. It is made of a galvanized closed profile pipe with a square section of 2*2 cm (and a square profile is much stronger than a V- and U-shaped one) or 4*2 cm. This size is quite enough to withstand high snow and wind loads, taking into account the fact that that the arcs of the arches are solid. For the manufacture of the profile, high-quality steel with high strength characteristics was used. It is designated in the literature by the code 03X13AG19.

Galvanized profile pipes 2*2 cm

This steel is practically not afraid of rust and is highly alloyed, that is, austenitic class. It has the highest strength at room temperature. Steel is used in cryogenic engineering for the manufacture of parts that experience extremely high loads. So there shouldn’t be any doubts about the strength of the “Tsar’s” greenhouses. By the way, the arches in the “Tsarskaya” greenhouse are usually double, one is located under the other, which also provides additional reinforcement.

Greenhouse "Tsar's House"

On a note! The snow loads that the Tsarskaya greenhouse can withstand are about 500 kg.

Covering greenhouses can be done with either film or polycarbonate. But polycarbonate is preferable. The fact is that the film will have to be removed annually during the winter period, otherwise it will crack and tear. And in general, polyethylene is a short-lived material, and even if it is used very carefully, it will quickly become unusable. Polycarbonate, on the contrary, can be left in place for the winter. It is protected from ultraviolet radiation itself and will protect your plantings from it, as it has a special protective coating. In addition (compared to glass and film), polycarbonate is less fragile, is not afraid of impacts, and is not afraid of temperature changes. And most importantly, it is better than any other material at retaining warm air in the greenhouse due to the cells that are in its structure and filled with air.

Technical characteristics of polycarbonate

On a note! Although some recommend removing polycarbonate for the winter, it is better to do so. The fact is that unnecessary movement of material from place to place, constant tightening and unscrewing of bolts can also negatively affect polycarbonate - it can begin to crumble and crack. Moreover, it is not recommended to store it rolled up and it is unlikely that you have a room where polycarbonate can spend the winter, lying quietly on a flat surface, since the size of the sheets is very large.

The Tsarskaya greenhouse has two doors and vents in the end parts of the structure, due to which the ventilation process in it is optimal for all plants. In addition, you can purchase a thermal drive that will open and close the doors itself as needed.

Thermal drive as an ideal automatic ventilation system in a greenhouse

By the way, despite such strength characteristics (let’s return to the paragraph about the frame), “Tsarskaya” is not such a heavy structure and can easily be installed even without a foundation. But it is still advisable to equip it too - for greater stability, as well as to avoid subsidence of the greenhouse on very soft soils. And if the greenhouse is not fixed to the foundation, then it can be easily moved from place to place with the help of several people.

What is included in the package of one Tsarskaya greenhouse? This is a frame, which for the convenience of the buyer comes disassembled (otherwise it would be very inconvenient to transport the purchase), various accessories, including handles, canopies, fastening material (it includes a “smart” crab fastener). Also, manufacturers have not forgotten about the required number of 4 mm thick polycarbonate sheets for the cover of the greenhouse, although if you wish, you can also stretch the film. And to make the assembly process as fast and simple as possible, each greenhouse comes with fairly detailed instructions that anyone can understand.

Greenhouse "Tsar's Star"

The dimensions of the “Tsarskaya” are as follows:

• height – 3 m;
• width – 2.1 m;
• length – from 4 m.

Polycarbonate greenhouse dimensions, drawing

The size of the greenhouse is selected based on the area of ​​the plot, the budget for construction and the goals that the owner of the personal plot sets for himself. All greenhouses, except domed ones, have the shape of an elongated rectangle. Read more here.

Distinctive characteristics

The model range is as follows - Tsar's Tale, Tsar's Farm, Tsar's House, Tsar's Dream, Tsar's Star.

The "Tsar's" greenhouse is produced in Russia. In the production of this model, modern technologies and developments are used, which take into account the flaws and problems of old greenhouses. Each model has been improved. The frame and base material have become stronger and more reliable.

Greenhouse frame

One of the main advantages is a durable frame. The "Tsar's" greenhouse is made from galvanized pipe. The strength of the frame is given by the fact that the cross-section is rectangular. Depending on the model, manufacturers choose a cross-section of 2*2 cm or 4*2 cm.

The frame of all models is able to withstand heavy loads from snow and wind. In addition, the arcs of the arches are made of solid pipes. Only high-quality steel is used for manufacturing, which is distinguished by its characteristics of particular strength and durability. This material has excellent corrosion resistance and rust formation is extremely rare. The manufacturer took into account all possible negative consequences.

Ventilation windows

The optimal temperature at which the material meets its basic characteristics is room temperature. Such steel is used not only in the manufacture of greenhouses, but also in the field of mechanical engineering in the manufacture of parts that will experience enormous loads.

Based on the above, we can conclude that the “Tsar’s” greenhouse will last for a long time. The quality of the product is beyond doubt.

Royal Farm

As a result of innovations, the Tsarskaya greenhouse can withstand an average load of 500 kg.

The frame can be covered with either film or polycarbonate. The latter material is stronger, so it is chosen much more often. The film will have to be removed in the winter and re-stretched during the planting period. In addition, the material may not withstand even one season.

Polycarbonate retains its properties in winter. Thanks to a special protective coating, the service life is extended. The material is not afraid of temperature changes, direct sunlight, or moisture. The cellular system allows for good air and heat retention.

Advantages

To summarize the above, it should be noted the main advantages of the Tsarskaya greenhouse:

• long service life - “Tsarskaya”, with careful operation, can last for 50 years with periodic replacement of polycarbonate;
• ease of installation thanks to clear instructions;
• ability to withstand critical snow and wind loads thanks to the most durable frame made of high-alloy steel;
• the possibility of attaching film or polycarbonate as a covering material;
• the possibility of increasing the length by installing additional inserts;
• it is easy to move around the site, which means there is no need to change the soil inside it - just rearrange it;
• the strength of the structure is also greatly influenced by the presence of double frame arches (in almost all models);
• does not require annual anti-corrosion treatment;
• Thanks to the double frame arch, plants can be easily tied directly to the greenhouse itself.

Double frame arches are one of the advantages of the design

Design features of the "Estate"

To produce greenhouses from Usadba polycarbonate, a special reinforced profile is used that is resistant not only to various external influences, but also to mechanical loads.

Specifications and Dimensions

The design of the Usadba greenhouse is presented in the following dimensions:

• height – 2.1 m (optimal parameter for growing various plants);
• width – 3 m (it is possible to arrange three beds at once, the width of each of which is 0.68 m, and the passage between them reaches 0.5 m).

As for the length, the minimum value is 4 m, with the possibility of increasing to the required size using insert sections, each of them 2 m long.

Greenhouse "Manor" 8 m long in the garden

The cross-section of frame elements varies depending on their purpose:

• arcs, base and ends - section 30x30 mm, with a thickness of 1.2 mm;
• vents, door leaves and ties - section 20x20 mm, with a thickness of 1 mm.

The arches and ends have a non-separable design and are mounted directly in production, which allows you to achieve maximum durability, rigidity and strength. The entire frame is pre-coated with a layer of primer, which significantly increases the service life of the installed greenhouse.

Model range of greenhouses

The manufacturer offers several different variations of this model, using various materials and technological developments for production. Such a solution not only helps to expand the range, but also allows us to achieve an acceptable pricing policy for the entire model range. Each variety has a marking by which its features and differences can be determined:

• K – for painting, a special powder composition is used that complies with ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards.
• U – option with a reinforced frame.
• Eco is a model with a budget price.
• Oc – the base of the structure is made of galvanized profile.

Greenhouse under polycarbonate 3 m wide

The most popular among this range is the “Usadba KU” greenhouse, which optimally combines reliability, durability and price.

For greater strength, the step between the arcs is reduced to 0.5 m - the frame can effectively withstand even very high loads. The profile is additionally painted green, which increases the service life of the product. Door panels with vents in them are mounted at the ends of the building.

Standard delivery set

The folded structure has rather modest dimensions, which eliminates problems with transportation and installation - the process of assembling the Ural "Estate" greenhouse takes no more than a few hours, requiring only attention and a minimal set of tools.

Construction of “KU Estate” from a standard kit

A typical package includes the following components (their quantity may vary depending on the selected length):

1. End parts with mounted openings for windows and doors.
2. Arcs.
3. Ties, longitudinal components of the base.
4. Seal.
5. Fastening elements.
6. Locks and handles.
7. Cellular polycarbonate in sheets.

At the user's request, it is possible to additionally purchase roof vents, an automatic ventilation system, an automatic watering system and a partition with a doorway.

Automatic watering for greenhouses

Arguments in favor of choice

The usefulness and effectiveness of the structure is confirmed by reviews of the Usadba greenhouse. The vast majority of summer residents and gardeners who have been using a greenhouse for several years respond positively to this model, highlighting its following advantages:

• resistance of the frame to external influences and atmospheric conditions;
• the possibility of arranging a structure without first laying a foundation;
• variability in the choice of structure length;
• acceptable pricing policy;
• minimum maintenance and care of the building.

Assembly and installation of a straight-walled greenhouse

Let's look at the step-by-step process of assembling a greenhouse with straight walls.

Greenhouse disassembled

Step 1. Assemble the end part of the greenhouse. To do this, place one of the ends of the greenhouse on a flat surface and place the door itself and the window directly into the doorway, screw them to the ends using canopies and bolts (two canopies on the window and two on the door).

Fastening the door and window to the end

Step 2. Carry out preparatory work to install the handles. To do this, drill holes in the right place with a 10 mm drill, but first make them with a drill with a smaller diameter to make the work easier.

Step 5. The previous steps were done so that after them it would be more convenient to attach the handles. But now remove the handles in order to attach the polycarbonate. Unfold the sheets of covering material and spread one of them on a flat surface. Remove the film.

Removing protective film from polycarbonate

Attention! Don't forget to remove the inner film before installation, as leaving it un-removed can cause a lot of problems later.

Step 6. Using a screwdriver and a 4 mm drill, make technological holes on the end frame at approximately the same distance.

Step 7. Place the polycarbonate sheet at the end as shown in the figure and screw it along the technological holes with self-tapping screws with a rubberized head. Do not screw too tightly. Screw the polycarbonate to the vertical door post using self-tapping screws with a yellow head.

Step 12. Start assembling the frame. Take the arc and secure the cross joints as shown in the picture. The bolt head should face outward. Repeat this procedure at 6 more points on the arc.

Cross connection fastening

Step 13. Proceed to install the jumpers using a 10 mm wrench and a screwdriver. Insert the jumpers into the cross connections perpendicular to the arc and screw.

Jumper installation

Step 14. Having installed 7 jumpers, install a second arc on top of them with crabs already attached. Fix it by lightly pressing on the crosspieces so that there are no gaps between the parts. Install the remaining arcs in this way, placing the frame horizontally.

Two arcs connected to each other

Advice! To ensure that there are no gaps between the parts, when installing a horizontal frame, ask an assistant to lightly push the greenhouse toward you.

Step 15. Install the last row of jumpers and T-joints at their ends.

Greenhouse MosTeplitsa “Tsar's Dream” – reviews

Konstantin1201
https://otzovik.com/review_6491826.html

Advantages:

It’s hard to say for now, but given the build quality, you can’t expect anything good

Flaws:

Described in detail in the comments (crooked assembly, many holes in the polycarbonate from screws drilled in the wrong place, problems with the frame, money scam)

The review is not about the greenhouse itself, but about the experience of communicating with the Mosteplitsa company.

I ordered a 6x3 greenhouse in the richest configuration that could be chosen (6mm polycarbonate, automatic window, galvanized tape, password tape, etc.). The frame is a Uar dream, reinforced.

1. On the day of delivery, at the time when it should have been delivered, a clapper is heard - we have run out of 6mm polycarbonate, let us bring you 4mm. For those who don’t, they could have called in advance so we could adjust our plans. Well, okay, I think I’ll wait another week, but let them bring 6mm.
2. Call in a week, we will come to you tomorrow, do you confirm delivery without assembly? Me - how is this possible without assembly? I'm waiting an extra week because you've run out of polycarbonate, and now you're telling me to assemble it myself? As a result, they called back the next day - everything is ok, the assemblers will come.
3. The assemblers arrived and began assembly. And it turns out that they didn’t bring the beds. I waited 2 weeks (a week to order, another week to get polycarbonate) for a greenhouse and they couldn’t prepare the beds in that time! Well, okay, I can wait a couple more days as promised...
4. Pickers are a different story. In the end I wanted to kick them out of the village. They are boors, don’t want to do anything normally, there are a lot of mistakes. I would rather give this 7000 rubles for assembly to local guys who would assemble it perfectly and save my nerves.
5. The assemblers on site say that your order did not include the strips that protect the polycarbonate from water!!! How??? I made an order by phone and clearly told them - the richest package!!! Most!!! Bring everything you have. As a result, the assemblers, as a “gesture of goodwill”, offer me to buy these strips from them for some crazy money...
6. The order included galvanized tape that secures the polycarbonate on top - the assemblers again insist not to install it. Like everything will be fine! To my question - why is it being sold then and why am I paying money for it, they could not answer intelligibly. In the end, I literally forced them to install it.

I happily said goodbye to the assemblers and thought my communication with this company was over, but it was not to be...

1. I'm waiting 2 days for the bed. But they are all gone. Ring on the third day - yes, yes, we will now clarify and call back. Another day passes - no one called back, of course. I called again myself - yes, yes, we have completed the order, we will deliver it tomorrow. Well, I think, finally. But…

They deliver the beds the next day and ask for 10,800. Although the order on the website is 10,500. After a short but nervous trial, they take 10,500 and get ready to leave. Wait - what about the assembly? I paid! Don’t care - you’ve already had pickers, we don’t know anything and we’re just delivering... curtain...

Okay, I collect the beds myself and here again - the central bed is 3 times larger!!!! In short, a greenhouse...

I didn’t bother calling the damn office anymore and went with my money and bought more beds for 1600 rubles...

In general, I would not recommend anyone to contact this company under any circumstances...
