From what and how to build a greenhouse for cottages?

Different cultures grow unequally in different territories. After all, plants that grow well in one climatic zone may die in another. Especially it concerns heat-loving crops. But people in most cases were able to overcome these difficulties by creating greenhouses and greenhouses. And now you can observe the huge areas on which those plants grow, which used to grow only in hot or warm regions.

The difference between greenhouses and greenhouses

Many people believe that a greenhouse and a greenhouse are just different names for the same design. In fact, these are two different things. The greenhouse is a small small structure, which is protected from wind and weather by transparent panels. Greenhouses are not heated, all the heat inside is formed due to the sun's rays and the surrounding air. The greenhouse can be just huge, it can have artificial lighting and heating to maintain the necessary degree of illumination and heat. For the cultivation of early seedlings in the country, mini-greenhouses for dachas or an infield are perfect.

Space for the greenhouse on the site

Since the greenhouse is not heated and does not receive additional lighting, then the place for it should be chosen with all responsibility. The site should be well lit by the sun all day - it is better to place the structure in the south or south-east. There should be no strong winds on this site. You need to look at the wind rose or see for yourself where the wind blows least during spring and early summer. Ideally, it is better to place a greenhouse in front of a house wall or a fence. They will reflect the sunlight, and the hotbed in the still cold time will be better to warm up.

The greenhouse for a summer residence: from what to make

It is not enough to choose a good place for the future design, you also need to make a greenhouse. For this purpose, the most diverse materials are suitable: metal arcs from reinforcement, reinforcing wire, wooden stakes or beams, polyethylene film, glass, plexiglas, polycarbonate and fasteners. From tools - a hammer, a screwdriver, a drill, a screwdriver, a construction stapler, scissors, an iron or a building glue. The choice of the tool depends on what materials will be used in the construction of the greenhouse.

Making a hotbed yourself

If there are handy materials, then you can make a greenhouse for your dacha with your own hands without any problems.

1st method. You will need a plastic film, arcs or wire from the fittings, a straight pipe to fix the film. Arcs are inserted into the ground. Seeds or seedlings are planted. On the one hand, the film is well buried with earth, on the other hand it is pressed down by a straight pipe. On the third and fourth sides, the film is fixed with pieces of reinforcement or a metal tube. The film should be of such size that after its fixation inside did not penetrate cold air. If there is no covering material of the right size, then polyethylene is perfectly glued together with a household iron or a construction hair dryer.

2nd method. A frame in the form of a parallelepiped or a triangle is made of wooden beams or reinforcement. At once a film, glass or other impermeable transparent material is attached to it. The film can be glued, nailed with a stapler or nails. The resulting design is installed on the site where planting of plants or planting of seeds is planned.

3rd method. If the two previous methods meant the production of a mobile greenhouse, then this one is suitable for a stationary one. From wood or metal, a frame is made, which is piled into the ground by stands. On the door or window hinges are attached old window frames. In this case, only one side can be on the hinges (for access inside), the other sides are deaf.

We buy a greenhouse

Ready-made greenhouses for villas are sold in many stores, you just need to look. But it's not necessary to go shopping, you can find everything on the Internet and order delivery. The kit is simple - a frame, legs or racks, covering material and clip for clamping. Not bad fame was earned by the "Dayas" greenhouse. Installation is very simple - you need to get a design out of the cover and, alternately pulling each section, stick the legs into the ground. You can buy such a greenhouse for a holiday home cheaply - the cost starts from 30 dollars. Similar stretch mobile structures in the autumn are easy to clean, fold and do not take up much storage space.

Modern technologies in the production of greenhouses and greenhouses

You can not waste time and buy a ready-made greenhouse for summer residence. This will be somewhat more expensive, but it will save time. Ready polycarbonate greenhouses for reliability and simplicity combine the qualities of all three previous options. The structure is light, can be left on the site all year round, and can be cleaned up in the utility room. Not afraid of sunlight or frost. In this case, polycarbonate has a high light transmission capacity and has good thermal insulation properties.

Greenhouses for dachas from polycarbonate have advantages over other designs. However, they also have a disadvantage - if a strong hail of a large size begins, damage to the covering material can not be avoided. You can collect such a hotbed and yourself. It will require polycarbonate guides, polycarbonate itself, racks and fasteners. The main difficulty is the ability to do everything neatly, we need skills in working with polycarbonate cutting.

Determine which hotbed is best, can only the owner, because someone prefers to settle by their own hands, and someone likes to buy everything ready.
