- a tubular main profile (1 ) shown in figure 8,

- vertical profiles (2) that allow the construction to be connected to the agricultural field ground shown in figure 12,

- beam profiles (3) connected to the ground in a manner corresponding to the front and rear parts of the greenhouse shown in figure 12, a circular beam connection (13) connected to the beam profiles (3) shown in figure a top profile (4) and an outer slider profile (5) shown in figure 12,

The main component of the greenhouse (A) used in the state of the art is the tubular main profile (1) as stated.

Clamps, including Y connection element (6), top connection element (7), outer slider connection element (8), suspension clamp (12), circular beam connection (13) of the greenhouse (A) increases the time and labor costs by passing through 7-8 production stages, including at least 5 pressure molds and at least 2-3 cutting - drilling processes. Further, due to the natural structure of the greenhouse (A), full, half, right, left Y clamp parts need to be produced in one piece and at least 8 but generally 24 bolts are used in all these clamp groups. This number of bolts/nuts (16) increases labor, time and related assembly costs during the installation of the greenhouse (A) in the field and causes the mounting process to be difficult.

Consequently, it becomes evident that there must be improvements in the art due to the above-mentioned problems faced in the state of the art.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Another object of the invention is to minimize the number of connections in the greenhouse mounting and to provide extra strength to the greenhouse.

Another object of the invention is to prevent the hard and sharp turns in the corners of the clamps that provide the connection of the main profiles that are used in the assembly of the main profile and the possible nylon tears by preventing the hard and sharp turns.

Another object of the invention is to ensure that the number of bolt holes required for the assembly process of the connection elements is reduced, apart from the currently used connection elements of the tubular main profile. Thus, as the holes are drilled in the greenhouse installation in the present art, no extra drilling will be required in the field.

Another object of the invention is to eliminate the use of smart screws in the mounting process of the currently used connection elements of the tubular main profile. Thus, time loss, labor and related cost losses in the mounting process of the smart screw are eliminated.

Another object of the invention is to ensure that the connection elements such as bolts/nuts used in the mounting stage of the currently used tubular main profile fittings are reduced by a quarter.

The table for the main profile and main profile connection elements used in the present art, and for the main profile and main profile fittings according to the present invention, the number of elements used for one main profile (arch-shaped roof profile) of a greenhouse are provided below.

As can be understood from the table given above, in the present art, there is a considerable decrease in the number of parts required to create only one main profile (arch-shaped roof profile) of the greenhouse construction. Therefore, production and supply of parts, labor time and related production costs and time, labor and related cost losses spent on assembly of the parts are eliminated.

Thanks to the main profile that forms the main component of the greenhouse construction of the present invention;

- instead of the tubular main profile used in the present art and the Y connection element, the top connection element, the outer slider connection element, the Y connection element, the top connection element, the outer slider connection element are produced in accordance with the main profile of the present invention,

- the mounting process of the main profile and its connection parts according to the present invention can be produced with less cost and in a shorter time than the connection parts of the currently used main tubular profile,

- there is no need to manufacture and use the truss clamp used in the present art,

- there is no need to manufacture and use the suspension clamp used in the present art,

- there is no need to manufacture and use the suspension clamp used in the present art. Therefore, labor, time and related cost losses will be prevented in the production and assembly of bolts/ nuts required for the mounting and installation of the specified parts.
