Greenhouse Droplet

Good day. Recently bought a greenhouse. When buying, there was only a choice between the two drop designs from HRT and Triumph. Both greenhouses were positioned as fortified, able to resist snow. That was the most important indicator. I have already seen enough of the greenhouses that have developed harmonica. And to grow vegetables in the open ground in our climate is not an option.

After a thorough analysis, I settled on the droplet design. As winter has shown, I have not lost. Snow on the roof does not linger at all, even during periodic thaws. In the spring, he began to sow radishes 3 weeks earlier. The earth warmed up enough. And this is considering that I threw enough snow into the greenhouse to moisten the soil, which melted in 4 days.

The only drawback that I can note. This is a low-quality timber, which was included in the kit as a foundation. I used mine. He impregnated the tree with senezh, then with bituminous varnish, and then sewed it into a cover from roofing material. I think 5-7 years will be idle.

solid advantages in use

I want to share the experience of installing and using a polycarbonate greenhouse with a droplet design. Bought the year before last, he made the assembly himself. I can only say good things about use. The room heats up quickly, the temperature is kept stable, everything is hermetically sealed. The main advantages include the following:

The form was the only one that suited me. Since I don’t go to the cottage in winter, I needed a design that would not have developed under the weight of snow;
Metal frame - galvanized profile of sufficient thickness to ensure maximum strength;
Sizes - sufficient width for 3 beds. We plant cucumbers in the middle, tomatoes on the edges. In the first year there were real jungle, now a little less.
There are additional vents for ventilation; I installed an autonomous automatic adjustment system on them;
Polycarbonate lashing straps ensure tightness and reliable installation.
The cost compared to models of other manufacturers of similar products is not so high.

Did not notice

The greenhouse Tsarskaya Strelka has a number of significant design flaws that constantly appear during operation. Firstly, it’s a horse. The most vulnerable part of the structure. It is almost impossible to make it airtight. Constantly blowing, reducing thermal insulation and leaking.In this case, water periodically enters the polycarbonate honeycomb. In some places she managed to bloom, which reduced the transparency of the covering material.

Secondly, anti-corrosion coating of metal parts of the frame. It is not zinc, but simple painting. Rust appeared on the doors after 3 months. There are no gaskets for the frame. Fog is regularly formed in the greenhouse and ruins the crop. From small things - upon receipt, check for completeness. I did not have latches for doors and windows.

for that kind of money no

weak design, incompleteness, poor anti-corrosion coating

I bought a greenhouse in the fall of 2013. At that time it was the strongest design - Droplet. True, during the assembly I had to suffer a lot. Although the instructions were understandable, but a lot of details and a complex design stretched the assembly of the frame for a whole week. As a result, I got an extremely strong design, which at first glance at the details could not be assumed. The wife cannot get enough. It is very convenient to use frame parts for garter tomatoes and cucumbers. In addition, we grow other vegetables and herbs.
In winter, the greenhouse fully lives up to its purpose. The shape is such that snow does not accumulate on the roof. The side beams are not only reinforced, but also located closer to each other, which does not allow polycarbonate to bend under the pressure of snow.

strong, practical, beautiful

very laborious assembly process

Good day. I want to leave a review from the greenhouse Droplet. I bought it this year.
I spend a lot of time at the cottage and I get excellent crops. But the ecology is now such that tomatoes and cucumbers very quickly fade, sometimes from rain, or from the sun. My wife and I decided to buy a greenhouse. Since the snow in our region is very strong, on the recommendation of a neighbor we chose a reinforced structure. Selected and ordered over the Internet with delivery to the place of assembly. The greenhouse arrived on time, everything is neatly packed. No scuffs, cracks or other defects.

Armed with a set of keys and a screwdriver, he took instructions and ... I realized that without help you can not do. Two men with technical education collected the frame all day. And another half day for lining with polycarbonate.
The greenhouse is very convenient to use, warm and airtight. If you put some heating, you can increase the summer season for a month and a half. For year-round use, you need either very thick polycarbonate or double-glazed windows.

reliable, durable, warm, easy to use

complex construction - assembly is better to order

In 2015, my husband and I chose a greenhouse. The main selection criterion was reliability and durability. We settled on the model Droplet-Orange. After a year of use, I recommend it to those with strong winds and heavy snow load.

The lancet shape does not allow snow to accumulate on the roof, it just rolls down.Side amplifiers do not allow rolling snow to squeeze the greenhouse from the sides. The husband and brother tried to squeeze the frame from the sides - the greenhouse did not succumb to a centimeter.
Inside there are many struts, it is convenient to tie up plants.
The greenhouse turned out to be fruitful and beautiful.

Very difficult assembly. Many parts and fasteners, despite the detailed instructions, assembly takes a lot of time. Husband and brother took two full days.
The cost is quite high compared to greenhouses of other designs.
