Each summer resident Nowadays, he dreams of building a greenhouse on his plot. A greenhouse is a very profitable building for a summer resident, because seedlings can be planted much earlier and, accordingly, the crop will ripen faster than in the garden. In the greenhouse, humidity and microclimate favors the rapid growth of plants and vegetables. Also in the greenhouse you can grow seedlings, for example, for sale you will agree a good help for the family budget. And if you build a larger greenhouse, then a family business can be organized and grow some vegetables for sale.
Mostly summer residents build greenhouses of small sizes and from materials such as plastic film or glass. This type of material is certainly good on the one hand. For example, a structure made of wood and plastic film is lightweight and does not allow moisture and cold air from the street side of the greenhouse. But the trouble is that this film under the influence of direct sunlight and atmospheric precipitation and wind becomes unusable after one season of operation.
Summer residents also build a glazed view of greenhouses, which also have their own drawbacks. Firstly, the glass structure still has a decent weight, which can often affect a wooden structure, of course such a greenhouse will last longer. And one more problem - glass has the property of breaking and crumbling, for example, from hail or strong gusty winds.
Fortunately for all summer residents, nowadays there is a universal material for greenhouses that has won popularity and respect, and this material is called polycarbonate. Lightweight and durable, it transmits sunlight very well. The stores have a large selection of such polycarbonate greenhouses, but the price of them, of course, is not small and not everyone can afford it.
But what about a simple person, if he wants a greenhouse made of this material, of course, use ingenuity and imagination. So the author decided to build a polycarbonate greenhouse do it yourself. He bought this material in sheet form, which is much cheaper than buying a ready-made greenhouse.And the author decided to build already a capital greenhouse so that it would be enough until the end of the days and so that the grandchildren would also use it.
The author builds a greenhouse with a depression in the ground, which will provide increased temperature comfort to vegetables and plants planted there. Makes a solid construction of timber and planks. And so, what did the author need to build this greenhouse.
Materials: polycarbonate, brick, cement, sand, timber, board, nails, screws, hinges.
Instruments: hacksaw, hammer, pliers, ax, shovel, trowel, mallet, trough for mortar.
As has been said, the author builds a capital greenhouse and first of all prepares a pit.
Then he pours the foundation and lays a brick base
In the future, he builds a wooden frame of the future greenhouse from timber and boards.
Then the glazing of the greenhouse begins from the roof.
And then, step by step, it continues to trim the greenhouse with polycarbonate.
Then he hangs the door and in fact the whole greenhouse is ready.
Inside, I made such beds for seedlings made of bricks, such a century will definitely stand.
And here already planted seedlings in the beds.
That's all the main polycarbonate greenhouse is ready and you can use it.
Such a greenhouse is durable and will last for more than a dozen years; it will serve the author and his family well. And one more nuance, as can be seen in the photo, he puts a brick on the edge, and this very saves material and space, almost twice.
