Greenhouse – a room where you can grow plants under any weather and climatic conditions. This is because it constantly maintains the same temperature and constant humidity level.
In heated greenhouses, this happens automatically thanks to special electronic systems that allow crop production on an industrial scale; in non -heated – due to their actual design and the greenhouse effect created by her.
How to make a polycarbonate greenhouse with your own hands: first you need to deal with the materials
The first type is more difficult to serve, the second is easy to care for and is ideal for home or cottage.
Any non -heated greenhouse consists of a frame (wood, aluminum, galvanized profile) and facing materials – plastic polycarbonate, fragile polyethylene and reliable, but expensive glass.
From the first of them it is worth making a greenhouse, which should be located in a well -lit, but closed from the exposure of the northern winds with an area of 15 to 21 meters.
The foundation of this room is made either from cheaper wooden bars (100 per 100 millimeters), or from expensive, but reliable foundation blocks, for the installation of which you need a crane.
Now we move on to the installation of a polycarbonate greenhouse with your own hands
Then, according to the scheme in which such elements as a window and a warm door are taken into account, a frame is assembled (a galvanized profile is preferred).
– First, its supporting parts are installed, then the crate is attached to the foundation with self -tapping screws, on which the strength and hardness of the structure depends.
– After that, the same self -tapping screws, as well as connecting profiles, are attached to the frame sheets of polycarbonate, which are cut in advance with a knife for drywall or an electrician.
– In this case, their standard size, bending radius and the temperature coefficient indicating the expansion of the material are taken into account (it depends on what the gap between the sheets, which is later sealing using an aluminum tape).
– Do not also forget about the holes of the foundation where condensation flows. In the plan, it is necessary to foresee in advance and their.
– The construction of the greenhouse ends on this. If it is not greenhouse, then you should take care of the heater, which should be located below at the foundation around the perimeter of the construction itself.
