Greenhouses and greenhouses are good assistants for gardener
Here are some guidelines that will help you choose the right place:
- Select a level, well-lit area;
- Ideally, the length of the greenhouse should be in the direction from north to south;
- try to find a place that will be protected from excessive exposure to the winds;
- should not be placed in the construction of low-lying areas, if there is a risk of water accumulation (snow or dirt).
varieties of greenhouses
There are two main types of greenhouses, which differ in shape: arched and tents.
hotbed of shaped tube Art Nouveau
arched greenhousesIn most cases, they are manufactured in a specially equipped for this production. This is due to the fact that self-bent pipe into the desired shape is difficult.
Among the advantages of greenhouses of the arcs with covering materials can be identified easy collection of already bent parts and the minimum cost of finishing the construction. Among the disadvantages of such a construction point is not too high functionality and height restrictions beds, which are located at the edges. Although one can often find a photo made by their own hands greenhouses for cucumbers collected by such principle.

tent greenhouses They have a much simpler design because their construction is not associated with the need to bend the pipe. In most cases, tent greenhouses are made independently, but are available for sale and ready-made model.
Due to its tent-shaped greenhouse sizes can significantly enhance the ability of movement inside and allow the plant to grow almost any height, even at extreme beds. However, for advanced performance comes at a price, and the cost of such a structure will be higher than in the case of the construction of an arched greenhouse. This happens because in this case the covering material for finishing takes much longer.

Any greenhouse consists of the basic elements - the foundation, frame and covering material. Their strength and durability directly depends on the materials used in their construction. Sectional tubes - one of the most affordable and at the same time, strong bases, which under proper installation can serve for many years. In addition, to make a greenhouse out proftruby yourself quite easily.

Simple foundations for the greenhouse with their hands
Greenhouse will serve you much longer, if you set it on the foundation. What foundation is best to use and how to do it if you decide to build a greenhouse with their hands? Consider the most appropriate options for the foundation.
The ideal foundation option for greenhouse - brick or concrete. It is relatively simple to construct, and at the same time it is quite durable and reliable. Of course, a greenhouse - a non-residential premises, and to lay the foundation for a full can be quite costly.

Useful advice!In order to improve the quality of the cement slurry and, accordingly, the foundation must be rinsed with gravel and sand from the possible additional impurities.
Preparatory work before the construction of the frame
How to start the construction of greenhouses and greenhouses for the garden? Naturally, with the purchase of all of the necessary materials and tools.
Small greenhouse on a wooden base
Here is a list of what you need to make drawings or photos greenhouse own hands:
- profiled tube size of 20x20 mm to be used as longitudinal guides;
- profiled tube size of 20x40 mm, for vertical construction racks;
- screws for metal;
- ordinary door hinges;
- paint and primer, intended for outdoor use;
- welding device (preferably with a power more than 3 kW);
- good building level;
- Measuring tape;
- square;
- Bulgarian;
- screwdriver.
By all indications greenhouse profile is strong, reliable, durable and safe
Due to the presence of all these tools, you can safely proceed to the construction of the greenhouse frame.
How to make a greenhouse with your hands: the stages of erection
As a guide, you can use the drawing greenhouse own hands. In this case, use those sizes, which are specified in it. On average, the length of a standard greenhouse is about 8 m, width - about 3 m, however, much depends on the size and shape of your site, so I have to focus on the spot in this matter.. Having dealt with the necessary measurements, proceed to the cutting of shaped pipes to length.

When all the elements are ready, you can begin to assemble the structure. With the help of a welding machine or crab-connectors need to seal the vertical and longitudinal of the greenhouse.
Useful advice!If you want to be able, if necessary, to disassemble the structure, it is not necessary to weld elements. Use connectors screwed.

Once all items are interconnected, ensure the presence of window and door openings. To do this, you must carry out measurements, after which you can start manufacturing boxes for them. When everything is ready, it will only have to weld the box to the bar, which is fixed on the outer arcs of the structure.
There are two variants of the location of windows and doors in a greenhouse:
- box located in front of the door;
- windows are located opposite each other on both sides of the greenhouse.

After the end of the assembly the finished design should be treated with a special primer and paint.
How to choose a covering material for greenhouses
Before you begin to build a greenhouse, you must decide what material you plan to cover. Consider all of the simplest and most popular options:
- glass - has an excellent ability to pass sunlight, while maintaining the temperature inside the greenhouse, the most suitable for plants. Among the shortcomings can be identified only a fairly high cost of the material and the occurrence of certain difficulties during installation. Also, the probability of damage to the coating, which entails a lot of repair costs;
- Polyethylene - a cheap and affordable material, which is not used too often, for the construction of greenhouses. Its disadvantages include the low strength values, as well as a bad reaction to exposure to ultraviolet rays;

- non-woven materials - acrylic, lutrisil or spunbond. This kind of alternative to the first two embodiments. On the one hand, such a coating well protects the crop within the greenhouse, on the other - provides sunlight. This is a great option if your goal - to protect plants from heavy rains or, on the contrary, drought. However, the service life of such materials does not exceed five years, but not due to the very high cost replacement in such a period can not afford;
- polycarbonate - definitely the best covering material for greenhouses. The combination of strength and light weight make it ideal. polycarbonate durability rates surpass ordinary glass 200 times, with no worse than letting sunlight and keeping warm. Trim and fit the material to the desired size is elementary, thus providing unlimited opportunities for self-construction.

Greenhouse butterfly with his own hands
Characterized by a special design so-called greenhouse "butterfly". It got its name because of the similarity of the same insect. When the greenhouse is open, he looks like a huge butterfly, which spread its wings. For this form of the greenhouse is characterized by the following advantages:
- free access to the plants from almost all sides;
- increased structural strength, its ability to withstand high winds;
- better ventilation;
- quite easy to assemble and operate.

How to effectively use the greenhouse
How to use the greenhouse to get the maximum benefit from its existence? In warm weather, it is recommended to leave the greenhouse open to allow plants to the most favorable conditions of existence. With the arrival of the cool greenhouse is closed to keep the inside microclimate suitable for the plants. By maintaining the desired temperature design, start planting plants can be early spring, when the open ground has not warmed. In autumn, even in the case of frost, harvest in nothing will threaten the greenhouse.
If you are at the same time grow several different crops, the experts recommend to differentiate greenhouse into zones using plastic film. For watering the plants can be used as a regular watering and a more modern and convenient way - drip irrigation.
Cultivation vegetable crops in the greenhouse
In the spring, after a greenhouse all winter stood idle, you must prepare it for use. This applies to both the structure and soil in it. In the first place a thorough inspection of all components for damage. If everything is in order, just clean the greenhouse from the accumulated dust and dirt. If during the inspection defects, perform the appropriate repair or replacement parts were found.
Depending on the material that was used to cover the frame greenhouse, there are several ways to wash it. The most common and easiest option - to use an ordinary garden hose.

Preparing the greenhouse for the winter
To the greenhouse for several winter months stood without compromising design, you need to take care of this in advance and carry out a preliminary disinfection. This can be done only when all the plants and auxiliary materials have been removed. In this process it is necessary not only the soil but also the frame, to destroy all pathogens of mold, fungus and bacterial infections.
The process greenhouse in the fall? Most often used to disinfect the greenhouse sulfur. Fumigation is carried out at a temperature of 10-15 ° C. In this standard calculation - 40-50 g sulfur per 1 m2. Small trays substance installed at a certain distance from each other and ignited. Fumigation should be performed by igniting the sulfur toward the exit outside. When the last center to be set on fire, close the door and leave the greenhouse in this state for a few days. After this period, open all doors and windows and let some fresh air room.
Greenhouse - an indispensable element in the country site
Useful advice! Fumigating greenhouse, do not forget about self-defense and safety regulations.
As you can see, self-construction and maintenance of the greenhouse of the profiled pipe - Science guileless. All you need - a basic knowledge of tools and a little patience. However, if you succeed, you will be able to benefit greatly from the results of their labor. And that is no doubt a result, look photos greenhouses with their hands out of scrap materials. Some options are striking for its beauty and functionality.
