Choose a place for a greenhouse

To choose the ideal place for a greenhouse, you should pay attention to hand directions .A good option will be the southern part of the site, good - the western, and the northern side for such purposes is not suitable. It is better if the site will have a south slope and protection from cold air from the north.

When choosing a place for a greenhouse, it is necessary to pay attention to shadow

from buildings and trees. Ideally, the greenhouse should not be shaded throughout the day. For better illumination, the gable option is better oriented in the north-south direction, and the one-way variant is oriented west-east.

Requires hotbeds and wind protection .To do this, they are located on the south side of the buildings, capital fences. If there are no buildings nearby, then on the north and north-west side of the site you can plant tall bushes, for example, chokeberry.

High trees are not desirable near the hotbeds. They obscure part of the plot. Foliage, which falls from them, lies on the roofs of structures and also creates a shadow. For some trees, for example, birch, the roots are very long, they can penetrate into the fertile soil and take food from garden crops, including in greenhouses.

Maintaining a constant temperature in the greenhouse

To create optimal conditions for plants, the temperature in the hotbed should be constant or with minimal fluctuations. Since sunny days are not always, and at night, the temperature outside is also lowered, the stable heat can be provided only by heating. Heating hotbeds in several ways.

1. Using solar energy .The method is the simplest and cheapest, but as already mentioned above is unstable.
2. Electricity .To create inside electric heating, use waterproof heating cables. At the base of the greenhouse, a layer of gravel is covered with a thickness of two centimeters and a layer of sand, the thickness of which is three centimeters. On top of the sand layer lay the heating cable, having its snake. Fifty centimeters of washed sand is poured over the cable. The layers are covered with sheet iron. This will protect against accidental damage to the heating element. On top of the iron sheet lay a nutrient soil.
   The minus of this method is obvious - electricity is an expensive kind of energy. However, in such a greenhouse, which does not depend on external conditions, you can start planting plants in early spring. The most important thing is to provide quality insulation, including from below, under a layer of gravel.
3. Heating using biofuel .The use of the biological method of heating the greenhouse is the most optimal and affordable. To maintain the temperature, fresh manure, straw, various plant remains are placed on its bottom. When decomposed, they release heat.
   The disadvantage of this method is simple enough - the impossibility of adjusting the process, only creating aeration. In addition, gradually the layer breaks down and the amount of heat released decreases, but it suffices for one season.

Greenhouse: what can it be built from?

If you want to build a greenhouse in the country is not difficult. It is made from materials available, at a low cost. There is a greenhouse from the frame and the material with which it is covered from above.

To build a greenhouse in the country house with their own hands, the polyethylene film is most often used. Choose both the usual option, and reinforced. In addition, the coating can be made from a non-woven covering material, polycarbonate or glass.

The greenhouses differ in their shape. It depends on the form of the framework: triangular, arc or any other. The frame is made of metal or fiberglass reinforcement, metal or polypropylene pipes, wooden beams, old window frames.

You can make a stationary hotbed in the dacha with your own hands or install it temporarily.

Simple arched greenhouse

This kind of hotbed is also called tunnel shelter. The construction is familiar to many, since it is simple to manufacture and is used almost everywhere.

To create an arc-shaped greenhouse, use arcs and conventional film. Arcs can be polypropylene, wooden, made of metal wire. The height and width of the shelter depends on their size. On top of the arc pull the film, fix it around the perimeter of bricks or boards. To make the arc-shaped greenhouse more stable, the arcs can be fixed to a wooden base, and not simply stuck into the ground.

To increase the rigidity of the structure, longitudinal rails are installed. They connect the arcs and prevent them from moving. In addition, under the face arcs put vertical supports to maintain the shape, but often do without them.

Quick greenhouse from wooden gratings

If the variant on the arches does not seem to be sufficiently stable, you should prefer a greenhouse with wooden gratings. He quickly assembles and understands. The design is more rigid and reliable. If there is a question of what to build a hotbed quickly, then this option is one of the most successful. It is stable and not afraid of even a strong wind. The main disadvantage is the relatively small size. They are limited by the width of the lattice elements, but are quite sufficient for obtaining the first shoots, early green.

Wooden stationary greenhouse

When you are going to build a greenhouse in the country, it is worth reviewing several options and choosing the best one. In many cases, a stationary wooden greenhouse is preferred. It is assembled from boards and a wooden beam of a small section. To make a greenhouse with their own hands will require only a saw, a hammer and some skills of handling them. Such a stationary wooden greenhouse can have any dimensions that are limited only by the usability, and almost any shape. The shape and size can be affected by the characteristics of the crops that are planned to grow.

Metallic greenhouse

Choosing from which to build a greenhouse that will serve for many years, some people stop on the metal version. In this case, a welded frame is made of metal pipes or profile. There are also collapsible greenhouses made of metal.

The advantage of this skeleton is that a wider range of concealed materials is used. In addition to the film, cellular and monolithic polycarbonate, and sometimes also glass, are used. This model is longevous, but its cost is much higher.

Greenhouse from window frames

It is possible to assemble a walled greenhouse from old window frames. To create it you will need directly the frames, a number of boards and a bar. The length is determined by the specific needs, and the width - by the size of the frames.

The specific arrangement depends on the chosen location. If the greenhouse is located near the wall, then the front and side walls of a certain height are made of a bar. The beam is not laid directly on the ground. Pre-lay the brick layer.

Inside the beam, the boards are fixed, on which the frames will rest. The frames themselves are tilted. So it is better to accumulate solar energy and drain sediments. One side of the frames is attached to the hinges. It is better if it is distant, so that they can be raised for ventilation and watering.

Greenhouse with a deepening

Greenhouses warmed by the sun, actively used for forcing out early greens and seedlings. Their features are related to the fact that transparent covering materials pass well the rays of the sun, which carry heat. But also in the absence of the sun, they gradually lose heat.

To create such an option dig a hole, about forty centimeters. At the bottom is placed a heat-insulating layer of slag and other similar materials. On the perimeter make the strapping of the bar. Deepening and tying allows better storage of heat and earlier harvest.

How to make a greenhouse with your own hands

Choose the type of greenhouse and prepare materials. Consider the option of creating a high arc greenhouse hothouse. The site where the structure will be located, leveled and carefully compacted. A perimeter box is made of boards. So they do not rot them impregnated with antiseptic or burned with a blowtorch.

For the corners and perimeter of the box, reinforcement is installed. It is buried in the ground for about half a meter. On the part of the armature. Those who remain above the ground wear arcs from PVC pipes.

The first and last arcs are strengthened using vertical and horizontal struts.

Then lay the longitudinal parts, to which are attached all the arcs. One such bar is laid on top and one on each side.

At the ends, the film coating is carefully fixed, fastens the hinges and installs the doors. At the last stage, the entire greenhouse is covered with cover material. Usually a film is used. It is carefully fixed, not allowing sagging. The greenhouse for harvesting is ready.
