If your polycarbonate greenhouse is deteriorating quickly, you may not be maintaining it properly.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication Belnovosti, agronomist and landscape designer, talks about three mistakes that lead to the rapid destruction of polycarbonate.
Firstly, low-quality polycarbonate quickly deteriorates. You shouldn't buy a cheap one.
The thickness of polycarbonate is not an indicator. Polycarbonate made according to GOST with a thickness of 4 millimeters will last longer than the dubious thickness of 6 millimeters.
The second reason for the rapid destruction of polycarbonate is improper cleaning of snow.
Polycarbonate cannot be scratched, as this leads to the appearance of micro-scratches, which gradually increase due to the freezing of water in them.
To ensure that the snow falls off the greenhouse itself, place it from north to south and keep it closed in winter.
In addition, treatment with sulfur checkers has a negative effect on polycarbonate and the greenhouse frame.
