Annually the number of people who are not satisfied with the cost of vegetables and ecology regularly grows. It is for this reason that cultivation in its own area of \u200b\u200bproducts is becoming increasingly relevant. Today we will tell you how to independently build a greenhouse, which will delight you not only by the supply of homemade cornestods, but also with their appearance.

Purpose of greenhouses

The greenhouse is a construction that has a translucent design designed to grow seedlings with a subsequent transfer of it to the garden. At the same time, the main types of fencing elements of greenhouses are:

• cellular polycarbonate;
• glass;
• polyethylene film.

We suggest you consider the first embodiment, since it not only has a good strength and excellent resistance, but also a number of advantages:

• the building material has a high impact strength;
• polycarbonate can be used at a temperature of from - 40 ° C to + 100 ° C;
• this material has a high thermal insulation;
• floor polycarbonate almost completely reflects infrared rays;
• the building material has a light transmission of more than 80%;
• the service life of more than 30 years.

Methods of facilities of greenhouses from polycarbonate

Greenhouse with their own hands from polycarbonate can be built in several ways:

1. Materials used:

• cellular polycarbonate 0.4 cm thick;
• galvanized profile;
• steel pipe 2x2 cm;
• wooden timber.

2. The foundation for this type of greenhouse can be several types:

• tape;
• consisting of slag blocks;
• wooden with a protective layer.

3. Greenhouse frame and roof shape.

The roof shape can have a different design:

• "House";

• rectangular;
• arched.

Materials used for the frame:

• galvanized profile;
• welded frame made of metal pipe having a square cross section;
• wooden timber.

Before making a greenhouse from polycarbonate, consider the following recommendations:

• it is possible to connect polycarbonate sheets with each other with the help of a sealant or docking corners;
• fix the material is recommended using frame structures;
• self-tapping screws are best screwed through a wooden bar;
• if you want to save, then make one side of the greenhouse wooden;
• specialists recommend creating a foundation from concrete, which will continue to save your structure;
• the greenhouse is best done with two longitudinal beds and passage in the middle;
• treat the size of the structure in advance so that the waste is less left;
• the roof is recommended to do with a skate in one or two sides, or smooth;
• if you decide to use a wooden bar, then take a size of 4.5 x 7 cm;
• the most durable is the framework of the galvanized profile.

How to build a greenhouse from polycarbonate

Consider the construction of a greenhouse based on arched frame.

We will need:

• construction knife;
• hacksaw;
• pencil;
• screwdriver;
• marker;
• ruler;
• self-tapping screws;
• 4 polycarbonate sheet 0.4 cm thick cross se section 210 x 600 cm;
• ready galvanized arched frame 300 x 200 x 600 cm.

Polycarbonate greenhouse assembly:

1. It is originally necessary to draw a drawing of a greenhouse from polycarbonate and determine the place of its installation so that the plants receive maximum solar energy.

2. Since the foundation is not required for us, we set the lower T-shaped framework supports that are placed in the ground. To do this, we dig up around the perimeter of the structure with a depth of approximately 25 cm.

3. Then we make the sorting of the details of the arched frame and expand them in order. To the installation proceed from the upper arcs. Fix them to longitudinal profiles using an incomplete tightening.

4. After the remaining part of the frame is collected without ends, we set it to the desired location, immersing T-shaped supports into the finished trench.

5. Next, begin the installation of the end parts. If necessary, we deepen or lift the trench and flatter the framework. Then they cheer the supports and create the finish tightening of all elements.

6. Now you can proceed to the polycarbonate installation. Sheets are laid on the arched frame of the mustache and are fixed with the help of self-sufficiency to each arc. Be sure to do on the end parts not very large allowance.

7. After the sheathing of the side walls, we begin the cutting of the vents, doors and other parts of the ends of the structure. We apply a polycarbonate sheet to the right, then to the left half of the end and we plan the external contours of the desired details. The cutting of the material can be carried out with a hacksaw, an electrolovka or using a building knife.

8. Build the greenhouse ends with removal of protective film from polycarbonate sheets.

Where and how best to install a greenhouse from polycarbonate

Recommendations:

• the best location of the structure from the east to the west;
• it is recommended to put a greenhouse on a smooth well-lit place;
• lighting inside is best created using economical lamps (6400 OK - white light);
• heating can be made chimney or electric;
• be sure to pride the ventilation - the door and opposite it;
• the optimal width of the structure is 250 cm (2 beds of 80 cm and passage 90 cm);
• so that the metal frame is not covered with rust it is necessary to paint powder paint;
• in order not to remove the polycarbonate for the winter, strengthen the arched type of frame with special backups or arcs.

Polycarbonate greenhouses

• for washing sheets from polycarbonate, use conventional water with the addition of any detergent;
• do not use abrasive and cleaning substances;
• do not allow the dilution of fire near this type of greenhouse.
