The door of the greenhouse: the size of the greenhouse and the sealant, the width of the frame, the film and handles, the side attachment and how much the height

The door must correspond to the dimensions of the hothouse structure and be easy to pass The door of the greenhouse or greenhouse can be made by hand. To do this, it is absolutely not necessary to make it airtight - it is quite possible to do with an ordinary frame structure, on which the film is stretched, the same as that used to cover the frame. In the form of constipation you can use hooks, but the main thing is that in the form of fasteners it is tightly pressed piano loops.

what should be the size of doors in greenhouses

basically, the size of the greenhouse door depends on the structure itself, and its form, in turn, what kind of plants and crops to grow going from ownerPart.

However, for all kinds of facilities there is an optimal size:

• most appropriate for different purposes is the width of the greenhouse of 3.5 meters;
• Distance from the base to the connected rafters - 2.5 meters;
• The height from the low wall is 1.5 meters.

door in the greenhouse should be wide to garden trolley could easily pass

The reason is that in such greenhouses is convenient to take care of plants. If an extended greenhouse is required, it is best to divide it into sectors.

The door in the greenhouse is needed for passage or entry of trolleys with seedlings or ground. If there are no ventilation windows in the room, the doors are also designed for air ventilation.

In height, standard designs can reach 2, 13 meters, and in width from 60 cm to 1 meter. It is possible to build a door of other sizes, but this will require an exact calculation. In addition, on the door now it is possible to put special opening devices that open them in case of too high a temperature. To do this, it is advisable not to save on the mechanism and purchase only a quality opener.

Optimum door width of the greenhouse

The width of the doorway depends on the width of the passages between the beds, that is, the size of the greenhouse. And the size of the door, of course, should be related to the construction itself.

Standard sizes for transportation of technical and mechanical devices, and passing the person:

1. Typically, the width of the door make the size of 1 meter. This is necessary in order to drive a wheelbarrow into the greenhouse.
2. In the event that a person does not intend to use a trolley, a door size of 60 centimeters is allowed.

standard width door greenhouse is about 1 meter

In the greenhouse can be one or more doors at its opposite ends. This is done for the convenience of moving the garden machinery. But also there are doors for airing the inner room in a strong heat. Although for these purposes can be used and windows, located in different places greenhouse, and even on the roof. There are options when the window is located directly on the door, or a mechanical opener is used.

The following types of doors can be installed in the greenhouses:

• Ordinary swing;
• Sliding doors.

The sliding view is the most convenient and practical. As a rule, they are sold complete with ready-made greenhouse designs.

How to choose a seal for the doors of the greenhouse

The door frame in the greenhouses is made only after the roofing. Then proceed to the end of the greenhouse - the door and, accordingly, the entrance, into the room should be at the end.

In order to insulate the structure and the door, a rubber seal can be used.

Due to the fact that considerable clearance can remain in the end face during the installation, they must also be sealed.

Advantages of the rubber seal:

• Face seal made of glass and polycarbonate significantly improves the heat and moisture retention inside the building and protects against any temperature and weather changes;
• In addition, the material can enhance the strength of the entire structure, since it reduces the vibration created by the wind;
• The rubber material also has a nice appearance.

The rubber seal prevents penetration of pests and insects into the greenhouse by safely protecting the door and the whole structure

All these advantages are due to the material properties:

• It is not affected by the action of sunlight and mechanical deformation;
• Resistant to low temperatures, down to -35-40 degrees below freezing;

It is safe to use, as it is used in the medical and food industries.

Correct construction of a door frame for a greenhouse

The manufacturing of a greenhouse door can be based on any door leaf. Usually the same material from which the greenhouse itself is constructed is taken.

This can be wood, polypropylene pipes, metal profiles.

A wooden door is made using dry 30x40 mm rails and a film that is tightened thereafter.

The construction of the greenhouse construction must begin with the exact dimensions and the preliminary drawing.

The process is as follows:

• The bonded box is assembled with the help of plates and corners according to the dimensions of the doorway;
• After that polyethylene is stretched on the frame;
• Then follows the mounting to the side frame so that the door opens outward;
• The porch is also made of wood and fixed with an end seal.
• Threshold for the door is necessary, as it will allow to lift the structure above the soil;
• Handles are attached from both sides and equipped with any closing device.

When asked how long it takes to construct a door for greenhouses, you can answer that alone you can cope with this work within 1-2 days.
