Greenhouses Polycarbonate Top opening: Design Features

Cottagers - resilient people, even with our capricious weather, then heat, then with the endless rain. This funny people do not lose heart and continue to work tirelessly on section. Some of them even bad weather meets fully prepared, because he knows their greenhouse polycarbonate Top opening any cataclysms are terrible. Material is practically unkillable, and assemble the structure will have no difficulty. For those who do not know anything about this kind of greenhouses, greenhousesOur review. In this article you will learn what are the advantages of this design greenhouses, where they are best positioned to install and Buy.

Why greenhouses made of polycarbonate with soft top

Greenhouse - a special enclosed space, which establishes a certain thermal conditions required for plant growth. The top and side walls of such structures are made of plastic, glass, polyethylene, or a special coating of tissue, the latter hide on arc. To get to the desired plants during weeding and glaze have to "denude" the entire site. In this case, greenhouses and teplichke Top opening will be more than ever.

Frost, wind and other greenhouse scourge of polycarbonate are not terrible. This material can withstand sufficiently a load solid. These greenhouses can safely spend the winter until spring. However, if you intend to install a greenhouse, then because of the heat loss in a mini-teplichke nothing grow it does not, on the other hand, you will be ready in time for greenhouse planting seeds or seedlings.

Advantages and disadvantages of greenhouses convertible

Greenhouses Top opening easy to use and versatile. Lightweight and inexpensive, they can be installed in just a half hour without using special devices. Many ready-made designs allow to save on assembly, and due to the small weight and volume can be mounted at the stage of purchasing and ordering.

Important! Polycarbonate belongs to the kind of plexiglass, which is able to pass most of the light, but at the same time to filter ultraviolet light (in this case, it is important to collect it properly, the protective layer up). Otherwise, you get the opposite effect - the steam room.

In this regard, once again select the main advantages greenhouses Top opening:

What plants are best suited to greenhouses - concern of many beginning gardeners. In addition to the plants and flowers in greenhouses (as we remember that the greenhouses are called greenhouse small size without the possibility of heating) are grown herbs, berries and roots. In other words, in greenhouses great feel those crops which are not fundamental huge area.

Among the disadvantages of greenhouses Top opening may be referred to their limited temperature regime. Indeed, in a greenhouse, a large number of gaps that inevitably leads to some loss of heat due to not very good sealing structure.

Types of greenhouses and greenhouses Top opening

If we talk about the dimensions, the traditional hotbed has the following dimensions:

• Length: 1.5 to 4 m;
• width: 1-1.5 m - Single and 2-3 m - top of double-leaf;
• height: 1-1.5 m.

Consider the types of greenhouses with an opening top. For convenience, we have decided to issue a comparative table showing the features of each design.

Model	Features
	By analogy with this kind of two-winged insects greenhouse It has two flaps in the form of arches, which are completely closed side walls.
	This type of greenhouse has a structure reminiscent breadboxWhen one side, rising, "comes" on the other. Sometimes these two wings, but most often alone.
	Greenhouse with a sloping roof. Often these designs parked on one of the walls of the house and arrange flower beds. That is why such a structure is called Belgian.
	Externally similar to greenhouses resemble a chest or drawer. Usually, gardeners accommodate special supports to keep the lid on the box ventilation. This design - one of the easiest to implement.

Choosing greenhouse design is individual. This depends on the area of ​​the site, the architecture of the structure and the objectives set by the grower.

How to choose a greenhouse setting

The simplest solution - to place the greenhouse on the open area. If you are lucky with the area, it's the only thing you need to know. If a modest section, you have to choose the place, given the cramped conditions.

Ask a Question

"Do not install a greenhouse in a place where the wind howled. Despite the fact that the design of the polycarbonate is strong enough wind rose can significantly increase heat loss. "

There are a number of requirements that are important to consider when choosing a site for a greenhouse:

1. It is desirable that the greenhouse looked to the south or east. Thus, the plants receive more sunlight during the day.

   

2. In the shade or under a canopy of trees, fences or buildings can not have the greenhouse. Thus, the plants do not get optimal heat and light exposure.
3. It is strictly forbidden to install greenhouses near cesspools and sewers. Thus, impurities can get into the root system of plants.

   

4. Wind protection optimal solution would be a small hedge or a gazebo, without closing the sun's rays.

How to make a base for the greenhouse for long-term placement

Often greenhouses made of polycarbonate Top opening set on the open ground without any foundation strengthening. This in itself is mobile structure that is just different in that it is convenient to disassemble and move if necessary.

However, if you need to place it strictly in a certain place, then the need to build a foundation. Usually, it is the simple design of the timber or brickIn rare cases, goes to fill concrete. edition HouseChief.ru It offers the easiest and cheapest way to set a strong foundation for your teplichku.

The second stage - digging trenches. There is no need to dig too deep as a small weight of the structure. Suffice trench with sizes ranging from 10 to 25 cm. The next stage - spread a layer of sand. He will perform the role of a cushion.

Another embodiment - to fill the space between the walls of the trench and the ground beam or gravel. Fasten the greenhouse to the ground using special pins. Something they resemble ordinary invisible. Such "whiskers" are hammered into the ground to a depth of half a meter.

How to build and install their own hands popular models of greenhouses Top opening

Collect the finished design greenhouse It is a snap. Enough to have a general idea of ​​the sequence of work and technology.

Greenhouse "Breadbasket" - for self-assembly instructions

The most difficult step in the assembly of such a structure - a correct assembly of the hinge mechanism. The use of polycarbonate sheets of 4 mm thickness as a plating, and is used for frame sectioned tubes section of 20 × 20 mm. We offer you a diagram of a typical design.

Once the frame is assembled, we proceed to the installation of polycarbonate. To this clear the sheets from the protective layer, laid end side and mark up the sheets on it.

At this stage it is important not to confuse the outer portion of the sheet with the protective coating and the inner. In order to properly collect the "Breadbasket" greenhouse yourself, watch this video.

Greenhouse "Butterfly" - the nuances of self-assembly

From design, discussed in the previous section of this article, the greenhouse "Butterfly" is different in that it folds do not move back and folded up like the lid of the chest or box. The rest of the assembly process is similar. The first stage - clear the site of debris and leveling the ground. Next, we collect frame in the sequence, which is indicated in the accompanying documentation.

We start laying sheets of polycarbonate with a cross-cut sides. Putting first side plates, and then "wings". Anchoring the entire structure of special fastening elements.

Belgian Greenhouse - assembly technology

In contrast to the "breadbaskets" and "Butterflies", a Belgian greenhouse has in its design, rounded and bent parts, so its installation resembles an ordinary assembly of the box. The only difference is that the framework will have to do yourself.

Instruction in both cases would be approximately similar. So, let's begin:

1. Draw up a plan-drawing of future construction. This needs to be done in order to correctly calculate the flow rate polycarbonate. In the figure, be sure to specify the height, width and depth of the structure.
2. Clear the place for the construction. If you decide to equip parterre at the walls of the house, be sure to note does not cover the construction of your access to all sorts of communications and pipes.
3. Cut the timber or tube to length.

   

4. After racks are installed, the transverse fastening elements.

   

5. Separately collecting cover (it can be designed as a flap or accordion). Connections are secured via hinges. After that, close the frame polycarbonate.
