Frame hothouses are built with their own hands, mainly based on the interests of economy. Despite the fact that the frame of the profile is quite expensive for the price, it is durable and airtight. However, it can be combined with the most accessible material - gypsum plasterboard. The basis, in this case, will be galvanized profiles. In the future, the construction can be covered, both with film and polycarbonate.
The advantages of such a greenhouse are:
- Reliability with a light weight design;
- Ease of erection, it can be assembled without foundation;
- Quick assembly and disassembly;
- Resistance to different climatic conditions.
The frame for the greenhouse can be made with your own hands
For work you will need a galvanized rack profile that can be purchased by contacting any production, for example a metal rolling plant, or buy material from a manufacturer of similar products in specialized stores.
You will also need tools such as scissors, metal hacksaw, drill-screwdriver, construction plumb. The standard dimensions of the greenhouse, the length and width - 3x6 m, while the height is about 2.5 m.
Doing everything according to
instructions Before you work, you must accurately calculate all the dimensions of the structure, do not interfere with the creation of the drawing, where all the details of the assembly will be displayed.
Before constructing the greenhouse, it is necessary to accurately calculate all the dimensions of the
. The construction procedure consists of the following steps:
- The area under the greenhouse is cleaned of debris and as much as possible leveled;
- Markings are made for the foundation, if necessary;
- To assemble the frame it is necessary not far from the plot planned under the greenhouse;
- To the base, the details of the greenhouse should be fixed using self-tapping screws;
- The ends and the doorway must be assembled in a flat place and only then fastened to the frame.
It's important to remember that the assembly always starts at the rear, and then the roof equipment should be dealt with. To do this, we perform a calculation to accurately measure the middle. There is fixed the profile and elements of the roof - fastening is carried out with the help of self-tapping screws. Only after this you can proceed to assemble the front part.
How the polycarbonate is fastened to the frame of the greenhouse
Polycarbonate is one of the best materials for covering the greenhouse. It is made by melting granulated plastic, has elasticity and elasticity. However, all work should be carried out at a temperature of no higher than +10 degrees, as it can be compressed at high temperatures.
For greenhouses and greenhouses, you can use both cellular and monolithic material type. Facilities with the use of polycarbonate can be more voluminous in size - with a length and width of 4x8 for large plots and private houses.
The fastening of polycarbonate to the frame of the greenhouse can be carried out in a dry or wet manner.
Polycarbonate fastening involves two methods:
- Dry;
- Wet.
The dry method uses such fasteners as self-tapping screws and washers. To work, you need a screwdriver, a drill, rubber gaskets, a profiled seal to seal the joints.
Before fixing the material to the frame, it is necessary to make holes in it, in order not to deform the polycarbonate later. When working it is better to use a hand drill working at low speed. The diameter of all the holes is slightly larger than the diameter of the fastening element. Between the screws and washers, insert gaskets.
For the wet process, glue, silicone sealant, polymer-based putty, brush, spatula and profile linings are needed.
First, the entire structure of the carcass is treated with polymeric putty, after which a monolithic polycarbonate can be fixed to it. After installation of the material, it is necessary to pass all joints with silicone sealant and place profile liners on them. This method allows you to make the premises of the greenhouse completely hermetic.
Cellular polycarbonate can be fixed by any method, the most common is fastening using self-tapping screws with thermal washers.
Advantages of a collapsible frame for a greenhouse
A demountable greenhouse has several advantages, as evidenced by numerous reviews of gardeners, for which it makes no sense to put large structures on a small plot of land. A portable combined version is much preferable in such cases. Advantages of the prefabricated greenhouse:
- Certain protection against wind;
- Sufficient heating of soil and air protects against temperature differences;
- In such greenhouses there is enough lighting for the life of plants;
- Greenhouses prevent penetration of insect pests.
The demountable greenhouse has a number of advantages
Dimensions of this greenhouse can be small - 3x4 m in length and width, which is quite acceptable to the owners, as the structure, if necessary, can be moved to another location and even to anotherSite, loading all the details on the car.
Such greenhouses can be covered with a double layer of polyethylene, when weather demands it, it's not difficult to do it yourself. In addition to the portable type, the structure can be covered with polycarbonate sheets.
Sale of constructions is carried out in specialized shops and centers. The choice of portable models is very wide - they come in different sizes, differ in the shape of the frame and the materials used.

To date, you can choose any type of hothouse structure, depending on the size of the site, the time of use of the greenhouse, and also taking into account other wishes and requirements. After all, someone intends to use his greenhouse throughout the year, and someone is important to seasonal operation of the structure. However, the most important thing is that the structure should be strong and perform its basic functions.
