Greenhouses "Harvest": an objective review of popular models

Greenhouses "Harvest": review of positive qualities

Greenhouses in this series can boast of durability, which is greatly facilitated by the V-shaped galvanized profile made of high-quality steel (some models use profiled pipes).

The technological effectiveness of the series is expressed in the original method of fastening the sheet covering, which does not require screws and bolts.

Universal sizes - thanks to the modular design, the greenhouse can be extended or shortened by lengths that are multiples of 2 meters.

Important advantages at the time of purchase are transportability and affordable cost.

At the buyer’s request, the manufacturer includes cellular polycarbonate in the greenhouse kit, which, in principle, is the norm; more details about choosing cellular polycarbonate can be found in the article. It is pleasantly surprising that this polycarbonate, which is used for the ends of the greenhouse, is already cut, which eliminates the need to do it yourself. It would seem like a trifle, but it reduces time and labor costs, especially if you do not have experience in cutting polycarbonate.

Greenhouses "Harvest" are presented in a series of several models; we will try to evaluate the merits of each model separately to make it easier to make a choice.

"Harvest Elite"

This model has an arched design, parameters - 400x300x210, material - profile steel pipes, galvanized on the outside and inside.

The following can be added to the standard kit at the buyer’s request:

• polycarbonate sheets in the required quantity;
• additional vents mounted in the roof of the greenhouse for better ventilation;
• additional arcs to increase the strength of the frame;
• LED bulbs;
• automatic machine with greenhouse ventilation function.

The greenhouse is supplied disassembled; it must be assembled on site, which in principle should not cause difficulties, since all the necessary components and parts are included in the basic kit; in addition, the product is accompanied by instructions, and quite detailed video instructions are posted on the manufacturer’s website.

True, DachaDecor.ru considers knowledge of some nuances useful and therefore will give a couple of useful tips for assembling a greenhouse.

Before starting assembly, it is wise to prepare the necessary tools, you will need:

• a screwdriver of the appropriate size;
• screwdriver with reverse (if necessary, you can get by with a screwdriver)
• grinder for cutting polycarbonate (an alternative option is a mounting knife)
• drill with drill bits for self-tapping screws;
• pliers;
• M7 socket wrench.

It is more convenient to assemble the end elements of the greenhouse on a flat surface.

It is recommended to cover the assembly area with a sheet of plywood or fiberboard.

As a rule, there is always a gap between the base and the lower trim profile, which has to be masked with boards, but there is another option - to use a strip of linoleum from the remnants after repairs for this.

When sheathing doors and windows with polycarbonate, on the side in which they open, leave an extra 2-3 cm to cover the gap that appears between the frame and the moving element (door, window).

It is not recommended to increase the size of the functional holes present in the greenhouse frame, otherwise the manufacturer may refuse warranty service, and this may weaken the structure. The kit does not include washers that secure the external ties under the polycarbonate sheet, so if necessary, you will have to use your own.

Since 2013, a new model has been produced - “Elite Absolute”, which can withstand loads of up to 200 kg/m2 due to the smaller distance between the arcs, which is 60 cm.

- shaped wooden supports (50x100 board), placing them inside the greenhouse every meter of the length of the greenhouse.

Attention! Wooden supports are not included in the delivery set; they are made independently.

"PC Harvest"

The appearance of the Harvest PC greenhouse also features an arched tunnel, like the previous model, but other design differences are quite significant. The frame is a galvanized steel profile 0.8 mm thick, the doors, door posts and longitudinal thongs are solid. Each two-meter module has an internal reinforcement that gives additional strength to the frame. The height of the model is 5 cm higher than that of the “Harvest Elite”, the standard parameters of a four-meter greenhouse are 400x300x215.

Doorways are 90 cm, this size allows you to preserve the structure of the polycarbonate honeycomb during the cutting process. They are not included in the basic package, but as an additional option you can order the installation of internal partitions and additional vents on the sides.

Main features of the Harvest PC greenhouse

Greenhouse Harvest PC is an arch-shaped structure coated with polycarbonate. The structure is equipped with vents and a doorway, which allows for regular ventilation of the plantings. Each module is 2 m long.

Did you know? Icelandic farmers take advantage of the local benefits of nature and build naturally heated greenhouses near geysers.

Optionally, the structure can be extended by 2 m using additional modules. Also, at the request of the gardener, you can install side opening windows and partitions to distinguish between planted crops. This type should not be confused with the Harvest Plus greenhouse, which is smaller in size and covered with non-woven material.

pros

• The design has many advantages:
• the structure is easy to assemble;
• the frame is galvanized, which is why it is protected from corrosion;
• there are several options of different lengths with the ability to increase the area using two-meter inserts;
• polycarbonate sheets do not need to be drilled with self-tapping screws, since fastening tapes are needed for fastening;
• the end walls are equipped with openings for ventilation;
• the design is durable, withstands wind gusts of up to 20 m/s and snow loads of up to 20 kg/m²;
• if you do not install a foundation, the structure can be easily moved around the site;
• high thermal insulation rates allow seedlings to be planted as early as March – April;
• warranty for up to 20 years.

Minuses

• The Harvest PC greenhouse made of polycarbonate has two main disadvantages:
• for the winter, it is recommended to assemble the structure, attach supporting struts inside or cover it with a canopy;
• When used during rain, moisture from the upper edge of the window gets onto the plants.

However, these disadvantages are relative. If desired, the gardener can solve the listed problems.

"Harvest PCT"

Like the previously discussed models, the “Harvest PKT” is an arched greenhouse. The frame of the greenhouse is made of Larsen tongue and groove, which is a special Ω-shaped galvanized profile. Another feature of the model is that the gap between the trusses is 67 cm, which means that the number of arcs is greater and the strength of the structure is higher.

The four-meter greenhouse has 7 arcs. Thanks to these features, “Urozhay PKT” is considered one of the most load-resistant models in the “Urozhay” series.

"Harvest Classic"

The peculiarity of this model is a gable roof; the frame material is the same galvanized steel pipe as in other models. The standard set includes two doors and vents; it is possible to order additional vents for long greenhouses. The greenhouse consists of modules of 2 m, width - 2.5 m, height - 2.2 m.

Selection of drawings and optimal dimensions of the greenhouse

The minimum size of the greenhouse for Harvest PC is 4 m.

Basic design parameters:

• length - 4 m;
• width - 3 m;
• height - 2.15 m.

The kit for constructing a 4-meter greenhouse includes 3 sheets of cellular polycarbonate in the form of rolls 2.1 m long and 60–90 cm in diameter. The thickness of the material is 4 mm.

Did you know? The first greenhouses in Russia began to be built on the orders of Peter I.

If desired, the structure can be increased in length to 6 meters or more. To do this, just attach a two-meter extension. When choosing a drawing, pay attention to the distance between the arches. This figure should be 65 cm, which is the most suitable length for the specified thickness of the material. The width of the doors according to the manufacturer's drawings is 90 cm.

Before installation, the end walls for a basic four-meter structure must be cut according to the following drawing:

"Harvest Economy 2"

This model is a structure consisting of vertical walls and an arched roof. The frame for the material is made of steel V-shaped profile.

Polycarbonate sheets are secured using external ties. This model is available in a single size of 400x200x200 cm. The basic set contains 2 end doors and vents. The Harvest Economy 2 model is designed for heat-loving plants grown in spring and summer in a temperate climate zone.

In general, the “Harvest” series of greenhouses is easy to use; thanks to their sufficient height, they can be used with shelving. The durable frame eliminates the need to remove the greenhouse for the winter. Certain shortcomings that we mentioned above can be easily eliminated with a small amount of time and effort. What are your impressions of using these greenhouses?
