Types of greenhouses made of polypropylene pipes and original photo designs, built with his own hands

If you decide to make a greenhouse out of polypropylene pipes with his own hands, the photo has already gStarted projects can serve as an example for future incarnations. We have gathered interesting options to which you should pay attention to the development of their own design.

How to select polypropylene pipes for greenhouses homemade

Characteristics of the material of which are manufactured pipe, will largely determine the life of a greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes with his own hands. design drawings will help to find the necessary information about the size of the greenhouse and its construction. The diameter of the pipe depends on the dimensions of the future structure and the type of covering material. For the construction of a covering greenhouses products can be used with diameter 16-110 mm in length and 5 meters. One can also purchase a tube length of 2, 3 and 4 m.

Attention! For arch designs polypropylene tube is to choose a diameter of 16-32 mm for the uprights - 50 mm.

How to choose a covering material for the manufacture of their own hands greenhouse PP pipes

When choosing a covering material should focus on the period when you plan to use greenhouse, The design features of most construction and the desired period of operation. Cover the greenhouse from the pipes of PP with your hands, you can not just film or polycarbonateBut also other materials. However, you must first prepare for the execution of works.

How to calculate the required amount of material

When deciding how to make the most of the greenhouse plastic pipes, most truckers trying to reduce manufacturing costs. This can be achieved not only purchase less material quality, but also more accurate calculation quantity. it is for the arch structure is as follows:

• specifies the width of the future greenhouse C = b + b and height a;
• determined hypotenuse m (diagram for the calculation is shown in the figure) by the formula m =;
• We determine the approximate length of one arc L, which is numerically equal to 2 * m + (2 * m + M) / 3;
• We are counting the total length of the arcs by multiplying the obtained value by the number L;
• We are counting the number of pipes required for the manufacture of longitudinal splines. The resulting value is multiplied by the number;
• We determine the total effective area covering material by multiplying the arc length L in the length of the greenhouse.

What tools are needed for work

For the manufacture of the greenhouse will need:

• shovel;
• hacksaw;
• file;
• sharp knife, scissors;
• measuring tool;
• building level;
• soldering IronIf it is necessary to connect the propylene tubes.

How to make a foundation for greenhouses polypropylene tubes

any design will turn unstable without good grounds. When deciding how to make a greenhouse out of polypropylene pipes, is to determine the method of manufacturing foundation. A preferred embodiment is a tape base which is composed as follows:

• leveled platform on which will install a greenhouse;
• dug a shallow trench;
• leveled and compacted soil;
• established formwork;
• the solution was poured;
• openings are prepared to be used for installation of polypropylene pipes.

Strip foundation turns out to be sufficiently reliable, however, the process of the formation of labor intensive and requires certain financial investments. An alternative embodiment of the segments are fittings. Such a base construct as follows:

• a sufficient amount of prepared metal rods about 1 m long;
• elements prepared digged in the ground at a predetermined distance;
• Polypropylene tubes must be mounted on the reinforcement.

Sometimes, instead of valves used metal pipes. Their Future digged in the corners of the structure, and then interconnected by a metal strip. The plastic frame is fastened by means of clamps. To form such a base is required welding machine. The process of creating such a foundation under a greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes with his hands in the video.

How to assemble their own hands frame greenhouses made of polypropylene pipes

Assembling of the carcass greenhouses polypropylene pipes with their hands may be performed as follows:

Illustration	Description of the action
	Prepare all the elements of the future framework. Tubes are cut into size. Fasten pre-holders with latches. Instead holders can use other fasteners, such as clamps.
	Putting a framework for future flower beds. Should adhere to the recommended sizes. With a width of 2 m greenhouses aisle width of 60 cm, and the beds - 70 cm. The holders should be located on the outside the greenhouse.
	Clog valves so that she was in the middle of the holder. The offset relative to the center can cause some difficulties during the installation arcs polypropylene tubes.
	Install arc. Fasten longitudinal guide structure for increasing rigidity.

How to sheathe their hands greenhouse PP pipes

The hands greenhouses PP pipes or film adhesive qualities usually polycarbonate. However, permissible to use and non-woven materials. Consider how you can fit a greenhouse the most popular materials.

As obtyanut frame film

Among existing methods of attaching the easiest film include:

• cut pieces of the film of 5-10 cm;
• along the length of a quarter cut element for forming so-called braces;
• film stretched over a frame fixed with staples obtained.

As the locking elements can also be used:

• rope;
• grid. Its geometry must repeat completely formed contour greenhouse;
• double sided tape;
• screws. To eliminate film damage during operation in this case uses conventional pieces of linoleum or wood slats;
• Standard clip, sold in specialized stores.

Tip! To improve the reliability of the film fixation on the frame and its thermal insulation characteristics, it should be the bottom part (10-20 cm), sprinkle with the ground or lay boards.

How to attach the polycarbonate frame

Mounting of polycarbonate to a skeleton is performed according to the following steps below:

• drawn up ends;
• uniformly distributed on the frame first polycarbonate sheet so that it acted on the ends 5-7 mm;
• covering material is fixed with screws and washers 3,2 × 25 mm;
• excess material is cut with a knife;
• the next sheet is placed with 10 cm overlaps the previous one.

Nuances of their hands greenhouse manufacture of propylene in the form of tubes house

Optionally preference arch structure, it is possible to build a greenhouse of the propylene tubes with their hands, having a house shape. Such gable construction is particularly popular due to ease of use, high carcass strength and low reflectance. The last parameter improves lighting efficiency. By increasing the angle of inclination of the roof can provide snowmelt in winter.

During the construction of buildings in the form of the house need to be concerned about the presence of doors and vents to ventilate the greenhouse. The walls can be made not only vertical, but oblique. The second option will increase the light level in the morning and evening.

For the construction of gable greenhouses is to choose a pipe diameter of at least 32 mm. Connection of elements is performed using special fittings to ensure sufficient rigidity and structural strength. It is also conceivable to use a soldering iron.

How better to place the greenhouse on site

Choice of location depends on the following conditions:

• soil characteristics at the site and terrain;
• illumination;
• Wind speed and direction;
• convenience summing communications, if you plan to do a heated greenhouse.

A preferred embodiment is the arrangement beds from east to west, the so-called east-west. In this case, each plant inside the greenhouse will be covered from morning till evening. Directing beds from north to south, gardeners are faced with a situation in which part of the plant, planted on the north side, will not get enough light, so their productivity will decrease.
