Fittings for greenhouse: fiberglass greenhouse, own video, composite and plastic drawings

The fittings for greenhouses are well bent, easy to handle, harmoniously blended with any design. The right fittings for a greenhouse are a guarantee of its continued operation. You can acquire one in several ways, for example, make a purchase in the store of goods for gardeners. If the designs with the required parameters were not found there, that the case can be literally taken in hand. The fittings for the greenhouse are produced in a few hours.

We are installing a greenhouse of fiberglass reinforcement

In favorable climatic conditions, attention can be turned to the simplest option - plastic arcs. Gardeners should also remember that a construction of this kind is justified only if the greenhouse is not used year-round.

Fiberglass and polymer fittings are easy to bend, but do not become less sturdy, which allows you to assemble reliable and rigid structures

received popularity due to low cost and the ability to conduct all kinds of experiments.

Even the beginner can install the whole design, which allows to refuse the services of third-party employees.

The assembly process is as follows:

• Pegs mark the perimeter of the greenhouse;
• Drive in the marked perimeter of the pins at an equal interval;
• Determine the required number of pegs will help to correlate the height of the structure and the estimated distance between the arches( ideally it does not exceed 2 m)
• They are installed in such a way that above the ground there is an elevation of 15-16 cm;
• On each pin, it is necessary to fix curved pipes of strong materials;
• An additional pipe is placed on top of the upper support, used as a connecting element of the installed arches;
• The installation process is completed by fixing the paint film over the reinforcement.

The use of plastic arches as an armature is allowed in non-year-round hotbeds installed in areas with mild climates. Before starting work, it is necessary to conduct engineering training. It is the correlation of the height of the greenhouse and its width. Depending on the result obtained, the optimal distance between the arcs is selected. It should not be less than 50 cm and more than 2 m.

Rigid greenhouse made of reinforcement: reinforced plastic

The desire to use a greenhouse year-round or severe temperature changes all require increased attention to the material used. To help come the already mentioned plastic, which is supplemented by metal pipes.

It does not matter if new or used plastic is used. The technology allows to make both options strong enough.

Metal rods to be found should be passed through pipes.

If the plastic structure freely passes them, you can safely proceed to the practical side of the question:

• Metal elements are cut to a length of up to 60 cm, of which 20 cm is underground;
• Mark points on the ground for the installation of prepared rods;
• Arrange and fix them in the ground;
• The rods are fixed by the plastic pipes to be installed - it is better to do this together, otherwise the entire structure can be broken;
• If the listed materials could not be found, then metal reinforcement can be used.

Plastic structures reinforced with metal elements provide the greenhouse with improved strength characteristics. In the process of developing the drawing, it is necessary to provide for 2 significant nuances. Firstly, we are talking about the minimum necessary length of a plastic pipe - 60 cm, of which only 40 cm will remain above the ground. Secondly, the width of the pipe should allow the metal reinforcing particles to flow freely.

Steel and composite fittings for greenhouses

The construction of a permanent all-year-round construction with its own hands requires high-quality fittings. Without a doubt, it's only about wear-resistant steel. You can find them on the trade network or do it yourself.

The ideal and stylish material for the construction of the greenhouse is the composite fittings

If the bet is made for the second option, you will first need to find a welding machine.

The practical implementation of the project begins with determining the size of each arc. In order to make the correct calculation, you need to correlate the width and height of the structure. After that, the arcs are arranged in such a way that they are between 50 cm and 2 m.

The following procedure is as follows:

• Cut the metal pipes;
• Lock in the horizontal position required, which holds the upper parts;
• Weld the tees from each side;
• After every 0.5 m of the pipe length, crossings must be made;
• Using crossings, it is necessary to weld the welded elements to the upper base by means of welding;
• On the extreme arc, located near the installation site of the entrance door, you need to weld two more tees;
• Mounting racks for door mounting;
• The frame is assembled by welding all the arcs to the walls.

The use of metal fittings is conditioned by the desire of the gardener to use the greenhouse year-round. Careful preparation will help to avoid mistakes during the practical operation phase. The width and height of the structure, as well as the characteristics of the soil, are taken into account. It is not superfluous to think about where to get the welding.

Fiberglass arc fittings for greenhouse

A solid base for GRP will help to create old things that many have in the closet. Attention should be paid, for example, to the watering hose. Strangely enough, but it is made of strong connections in all respects, so it can still serve.

For the construction of greenhouses made of fiberglass arches, a reinforcement of composite materials with a diameter of 6 mm, 7 mm and 8 mm is purchased.

For the beginning, it is cut into two equal parts. After this, the dimensions of the arcs are calculated. This is done as described.

Based on the results obtained, the size of the arcs and the minimum required number are determined. It is important to remember that all sharp corners must be removed, otherwise the film may be damaged.

The following procedure is as follows:

• Wicker rods are inserted into each part of the cut hose ensuring the required level of strength;
• Secure both ends of the hose with the installed rods;
• Bend it as necessary;
• Lock the structure in the ground, otherwise the polycarbonate greenhouse will not be strong enough;
• In order for the composite greenhouse to acquire a completed form, the film is stretched and fixed.

The greenhouse from the armature with its own hands( video)

The armature plays the role of a kind of "skeleton" of the greenhouse, so it is worthwhile to carefully approach the issue of its choice. To begin with, the duration of use of the greenhouse during the year is analyzed. For seasonal options, plastic pipes are suitable, and for year-round options - metal pipes. In second place in terms of importance is mathematics. This is the distance between the arcs - at least 50 cm and not more than 2 m.
