A comment
Atlant factory site: "Snow load of 400 mm of compacted snow, high-strength arc withstands more than 800 kg, quality is always higher than prices."
Bought on 09.24.16. Alenka 2.65x4.2. 24 thousand rubles. Installed independently on 6 concrete blocks in accordance with the instructions (there are no extra parts except pieces of polycarbonate). Winter 2018 defended without comment. Last winter, the greenhouse “developed” in the middle due to the unstable load of the central arch. (see photo).
Sent a photo to the factory: why the characteristics on the site do not correspond to what happened?
Answer: You have violated the instructions or not fixed to the foundation.
I am sending a clarifying photo. Answer: So they did not put screeds.
Clarifying photo. Answer: You have violated the instructions.
I write that the engineer himself was assembled according to the instructions, there were no extra pieces of iron. Answer: If this is our fault, then we compensate everything, give the address for setting the reason.
I give the address. Answer: the distance to the fence should be 1.5 meters. I am sending a photo, which shows that the distance is more than 1.5 meters. (See photo).
Answer: You have violated the instructions. I understand that the reputation for the plant does not matter and they did not want to solve the consumer problem from the very beginning of the correspondence. I just ask you to remove the phrase about the fact that the greenhouse does not require leaving in the winter so as not to mislead gardeners. Next, I buy an arch for 2100 rubles, restore the destroyed greenhouse and think about how to prevent the arch defect that has developed in symmetrical places on both sides.
Conclusions:
1 For me, the reason for the breakdown of the Alenka greenhouse, unlike the Atlant plant management, is obvious: the high snow level at the edges of the greenhouse did not allow snow to slide into the thaw from the top of the greenhouse, so the central arc broke.
2. Alenka greenhouse requires periodic cleaning of snow in winter, including along the edges.
3. Since the advantages of the greenhouse on the Atlant plant website do not correspond to the actual operating experience, there is no point in paying such money. Since in winter you still need to go to the cottage, you can buy a greenhouse cheaper.
