Obtaining a quality harvest in early terms is possible with a greenhouse. It can be grown not only seedlings of vegetable crops, but also flowers. In some areas that differ in a cool climate, in greenhouses there is a full cycle of ripening plants (usually cucumbers, radishes, pepper, tomato). About how to make a greenhouse, and will be discussed in this article.

Conditionally creating a greenhouse is divided into such steps:

• choice of space for construction;
• preparation of the site;
• heating device;
• installation of the frame;
• installation of the finishing coating.

Preparatory work

When choosing a greenhouse location, a number of criteria should be guided. In particular, the design should not be located:

• near large trees;
• in a wind unprotected place;
• in the low point of the site where rainwater accumulates.

The greenhouse is recommended to accommodate with a slope in the south. That is how the maximum flow of solar energy will be ensured. If there is a high level of groundwater on the site, the creation of a bellped design is possible only when high embankment arranged.

Greenhouse heating can be carried out by using:

• biological fuel;
• electrical cable.

The first option provides for the use of horse manure that emitting a decent amount of thermal energy. The bottom of the greenhouse is covered with leaves or straw, on top of which the manure and fertile soil are stacked. The thickness of the laid manure layer should be such that its top can be covered with a 20-centimeter layer of land.

Greenhouse heating with electricity is carried out in the following sequence:

• the sand layer is poured;
• the electrical cable is stacked;
• the cable is covered by the Earth.

This method involves constant inspection of air humidity inside the greenhouse. Electric heating often leads to a rapid soil drying. This type of heating is not convenient to create a structure to create near the source of power supply.

Under the device of a blurred greenhouse, the site preparation is prepared. Dern is removed and drove the pit. Its depth depends on the climatic zone and the purpose of the application of the greenhouse. It usually is within 0.4-0.8 m. The colder the weather in the spring days, the deeper rotes the pit. Strengthening the walls of the pit is carried out with the help of wooden boards.

Mounting nuances designs

When applying with your own hands, greenhouses and greenhouses need to be noted that they are divided into three main groups:

• frameless;
• framework;
• stationary.

Creating a greenhouse without a frame

Frameless design is a simple flooring film directly to the ground. Such a greenhouse and got the name "Insulated Soil". Its use is advisable when you need to speed up the process of growing germs immediately after sowing seeds in the openly not enough warm soil. Moreover, this design is not used to grow high seedlings of vegetables. The most suitable option for the greenhouse is radishes and greens.

A mini-greenhouse is created with their own hands in two ways:

• shelter;
• comb.

In the first case, a lightweight film is used, which is easier to cover the ground. Its edges are saturated with earth or fixed with bricks or boards. So the film will not be demolished by the wind. Moreover, one side of the greenhouse must open without any problems. Only thus will achieve high-quality ventilation, watering and feeding plants.

Great mini greenhouse is created with a heavier and tight film. The film is placed on pre-prepared ridges from the ground. Usually the height of such crests is up to 35 cm. Seeding is made between the ridges, which are essentially a reliable protection of plants from damage. Film fixation is carried out, as in the first variant.

There is an intermediate version of the greenhouse. It consists of a film that is attached to the frame. The size of the frame corresponds to the size of the seed area, but not more than 1.5 * 2 m. The framework for the manufacture of the frame may be different: Wooden rails, wire, flexible cord, etc.

1. At first, the rectangle is harvested. Inside it is located several rows from a flexible cord that prevents the film to be seated. The main "plus" frame structure is a significant savings of the useful area and the unobability of the ridges around the perimeter of the greenhouse. Enough 2-3 crests on the edges of the structure.
2. The frame is placed on these ridges, which is covered with a film. Exactly this is the fastening of the long side of the greenhouse. In the end part, the film is compressed by the "accordion" and is bandaged with wire. The extreme parts of the greenhouse are attached to the pegs, driven into the ground. For carrying out, irrigation and other works, the long side of the frame is lifted.

Criteria for selecting film

When creating a frameless greenhouse, a special role for normal plant growth plays a film. There are several types of its varieties that are suitable for the device of the greenhouse with their own hands. The main ones are:

• polyethylene;
• ethylenevinyl acetate (EVA);
• polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Polyethylene film is cheaper. But she keeps worse heat. In particular, the difference between temperature in the greenhouse and on the street is;

• sunny day - 6-7ºС;
• at night - only 1-2ºС.

EVA and PVC films more effectively hold warm in the construction. Approximately 3-4 ºС above, rather than polyethylene indicators.

A rather popular observer material is agriched. This elastic and light material from polypropylene fibers can also be used when creating a frameless design.

Compared to film products, agriched has the following advantages:

• misses moisture;
• during the rain does not wet;
• he has increased heat-saving properties (protects plants - 50ºС).

Frame design

There are several options for building a frame for a greenhouse. Very popular designs are:

• arched structure;
• double greenhouse with opening ram;
• portable design.

In most cases, when purchasing a material to create a greenhouse frame, they are guided by their financial capabilities. It can be:

• plastic pipes;
• wood timber;
• metal corners.

Let's talk about how to create your own greenhouse from pipes.

• The initial stage provides for the assembly of the foundation for the greenhouse. Using the timber, the bottom of the design is assembled (frame). It must be rectangular. For this purpose, measurements of the sides of the sides and the diagonal of the frame are carried out. With the help of fittings, the frame is finally fixed in its place.

• Next occurs the installation of arcs. The reinforcement rods are driven into the ground to a depth of 0.4 m. The fastening step is 0.6-0.7 m. The upper part of the rods is connected to the billets of plastic pipes. In the entire width of the greenhouse, parallel arch should be turned out. PVC pipes are fixed to the board at the bottom of the design. For this purpose, screws and small pieces of fasteners of metal, which are wrapped with a pipe.
• For the assembly and installation of the end of the greenhouse, wooden bars will need. To the base, they are attached with the help of screws or nails. Brux cuts. Moreover, the ends of some of them are cut off at an angle of 45º. The use of this timber leads to an increase in the stability of the end part. Consequently, and to effectively strengthen the entire greenhouse.
• After fixing all arcs to the base of the structure at the very upper point of the curved pipes in the transverse direction, PVC pipe is attached to them. It will serve as the ribbiness. The connection of pipes is carried out with the help of plastic clamps.
• Now you can proceed to the flooring. It is possible to fix it to the bottom of the greenhouse, both with the help of wooden duffs and by using other fasteners. The main condition is that fasteners do not spoil and did not pull the film.
• The film is distributed along the length of the greenhouse. It should be enough to cover the end parts to the very base of the structure. First, the fixation of the material is carried out on the one hand. The film is then evenly stretched on the second side of the greenhouse. Here the mount begins with the center with a gradual movement to the corners of the structure.
• The excess film is folded and attached to the lower extreme part of the greenhouse. After that, you can install the door in a pre-made opening. The door is also covered with a film in advance.

How to make a stationary greenhouse

When it is planned to grow seedlings constantly, receiving income from this activity, you should think about creating a stationary design. A polycarbonate, which has the following positive qualities, can be used as a material for its creation.

• attractive appearance;
• long operational period;
• resistant to temperature differences, impact of a wet environment and mechanical damage;
• creating any design form;
• affordable cost;
• simplicity of installation.

The last property of the material makes it possible to make a greenhouse from polycarbonate with your own hands. The main task is to the high-quality framework device to which the material is attached. But before proceeding to its manufacture, it is recommended to make a plan for a future design on paper.

First you need to decide on the view of the greenhouse (above-ground or swallowed) and its sizes. The most common is a design that has a width of up to 1.5 m. The type of roof is influenced on the height of the greenhouse: with removable elements or without them. But the main thing is that it is convenient to work in the greenhouse.

The simplest design of polycarbonate is an arched greenhouse. As a material for a carcass of the greenhouse, you can perform:

• water pipes from metalplastic;
• wooden timber;
• galvanized profile.

The most suitable are the last two options. But there are nuances here. For example, a wooden bar must be:

• more than 5 cm in thickness;
• processed Aniseptic;
• moisture-resistant.

It is prohibited to use raw wood. As a result of the natural process of drying, the tree slightly loses the original appearance. This will lead to polycarbonate deformation. This problem may occur and as a result of using a galvanized profile for a frame in a too large greenhouse.

The optimal time for the installation of polycarbonate sheets is an early spring or late autumn. It is best when the air temperature ranges from +10 to +13 ºС.

If there is a higher temperature on the street, then when it is reduced, there is a high probability of a decrease in the sheet in size. And this can lead to the occurrence of cracks. It is not recommended to sow frame with polycarbonate and at a negative temperature. Sheets will expand, and cracked will also appear. We will have to carry out additional sealing.

The polycarbonate connection with the frame is made as follows:

• The wide side of the sheet is stacked by the brushes along the bars and fixed with the help of screws. Scotch tape samples the bottom sheet. The polycarbonate sunscreen film is located with an outdoor part of the greenhouse.
• The creation of arched construction provides for the bending of the sheet. And this is done in cross from cell direction. For this, a ram is taken, having a thickness of 5 cm and length at the level of the design width.
• This timber is connected to one of the bars located in the frame. Polycarbonate canvas bend and attached to the adjacent brus. On the other hand, the greenhouse is done by the same procedure. To close the end parts of the design, the sheets of the necessary dimensions should be prepared. Cutting material is carried out using a building knife.

When attaching polycarbonate, you need to create a minimum number of cracks. So that the inner part of the cell is filled with water, all sections are securely isolated. You can use both tape and galvanized profile of the P-shaped form (sheet is inserted into it).

When the removal of the leaf of the greenhouse should be envisaged so that it does not have slots adjacent to the design. Usually the lid is located on the crown at the top of the greenhouse.
