Greenhouse Polycarbonate own hands: the nuances of manufacturing

Create optimal growing conditions for vegetables without a special cover is quite difficult. Day plant will languish in the heat, and at night - not grow because of the cold. By setting a greenhouse made of polycarbonate with their hands, you can create a comfortable environment for various seedlings. We offer a closer look at the existing types of greenhouses and features of their creation.

What is the difference between the greenhouse and the greenhouse

To begin with, what features such a covering structure. In the greenhouse, the temperature is maintained predominantly positive due to sunlight. Possible to use other heat sources, e.g., coal, wood, gas or fuel oil. This design is larger than the greenhouse. An adult can walk inside the greenhouse in full growth.

Greenhouse falls into the category of self-sufficient energy systems. Heating the internal space provided by the biological breakdown of organic materials and generated by sunlight greenhouse. Such buildings are usually carried out without doors. To access the plants provides a flip or capturing top. Greenhouse is actively used for growing seedlings. The grown plants there is not enough space.

Common to the greenhouse and a greenhouse is to keep heat inside the structure. On this basis, it is necessary to think carefully about the design concept of each shelter and used in construction materials.

Advantages and disadvantages for manufacturing polycarbonate greenhouses and hothouses

The choice in favor of polycarbonate is due to its indisputable advantages:

Among the shortcomings should be noted a higher price in comparison with other cover materials.

Greenhouses with a saddle roof have certain advantages. Greenhouse Polycarbonate house at the correct location on the site is able to provide the plants with thermal energy throughout the day. Offer see photos of interesting incarnations.

Mini-greenhouses made of polycarbonate

large shelter is not necessary for the cultivation of seedlings. With this task perfectly cope mini greenhouses made of polycarbonate, a photo which you can see below.

How to construct greenhouses and polycarbonate greenhouses

According to a covering device design can be divided into surface and incised. The latter are the upper trench strapping performed from bricks, boards and other materials. The roof can be of any shape: single, gable or arch.

Attention! In-depth greenhouses with pent roof called the Russian, with a gable - Belgian.

Ground structures are often portable. Warming pad, usually placed below the layer of soil. As soon as the "coolant" peregniot fully, it is necessary to add a new batch. If you decide to buy a greenhouse made of polycarbonate, it will definitely be ground.

What kinds of support base used when setting Greenhouses

Device for greenhouses can be used various base type. For buildings, established for a long time, you can choose a belt, a brick or pile foundation. For seasonal greenhouses suitable base of timber.

Attention! With a high water table should give up the tape device or brick foundation.

Greenhouse Polycarbonate own hands: materials for load-bearing structure

greenhouse framework can be made of various materials. Many are made with their own hands greenhouse polycarbonate from a tree. Assembling such a structure does not cause difficulties. Frame solid and durable. With proper care, handling, and use of a special composition of dried wood able to last long enough. Easily attached to a wooden base. Greenhouse is not in need of a safe basis. Suffice supporting pillars.

If you decide to buy a greenhouse polycarbonate, then you are likely to offer a product with a metal frame. Independently make such a greenhouse can be made of thick or reinforcement profile pipe. Compound elements takes place by welding. Due to the large weight requires careful preparation of the base.

metal pipes having high performance can be used for manufacturing the chassis. They are well bent and have sufficient strength to withstand the weight of the polycarbonate. Suitable for the manufacture of arched structures.

The cheapest one is a frame made of polypropylene tubes. Using nodal elements can form a greenhouse of any shape and size.

How to choose a polycarbonate cover greenhouses or hothouses

Manufacturers offer cellular and solid polycarbonate. Choosing covering material, not immediately pay attention to the first type, capable of transmitting up to 88% of the light and has good insulating properties. An important criterion in the selection of polycarbonate is its density. It should be on average about 800 g / m². Visually determine this parameter can be the absence of warps at the underlying sheets, twists and other types of deformation. However it is better to check the specifications of the seller. The thickness chosen depends on the characteristics of polycarbonate erected shelter.

Tip! If you decide to buy polycarbonate, refer to the audited seller. In the market there are a large number of low-quality material.

Calculation of the required amount of building material

The procedure for calculating the required amount of materials is dependent on the design features of a particular building. We offer watch a thematic video that will allow to understand the intricacies of the calculation.

The preparatory stage before the construction of greenhouses or greenhouse polycarbonate

Those who decided to make the greenhouse polycarbonate own hands, drawing the future construction will help to determine the necessary amount of material and the order of the installation work. Further design documentation must be prepared site on which the construction will be performed. It is necessary to determine the location of a greenhouse on a selected area.

Tip! For better illumination of greenhouse grown vegetables should be positioned from east to west.

How to build their own hands a greenhouse or a greenhouse made of polycarbonate - step by step guide

If, instead of buying ready-made designs, decided to erect a unique structure of the optimal configuration, offer to find out how to build a greenhouse with his own hands made of polycarbonate. Below is a step by step guide that allows you to thoroughly understand the issue.

What tools are needed for work

List of used tools is dependent on the design features of the greenhouse and the material from which made the frame. Be sure to have on hand:

• hammer;
• screwdriver;
• sledgehammer;
• measuring tool;
• building level;
• a sharp knife.

laying the foundation

To answer the question, where to start and how to install their own hands a greenhouse made of polycarbonate, it should - with the foundation. Work begins with the markup site. Must drive pegs to mark the outlines of the future greenhouse. According to their location can be determined just how true your markup. When the device of the pile foundation, instead of pegs, can immediately install the metal pipe. Before instillation tube coated with a special composition to retard corrosion. Digged piles to a depth of 0.9 m, leaving on the surface of about 20 cm.

For strip foundation trench is dug, set formwork and grouting is done. After complete drying of the concrete start assembly work. Elements of timber base pretreated composition retarding decay. After that it can be laid on the bricks, to dig, or simply placed on the ground.

Video installation of polycarbonate greenhouses with their hands allows to deal with the peculiarities of laying the foundation in more detail.
