Greenhouses are very useful and necessary designs, which ensure the cultivation of various crops and vegetables in optimal and suitable conditions. It is at the expense of them that you can get an early and good harvest, so many summer residents are thinking about installing a greenhouse in your garden. However, the cost of already finished products is considered quite high. As a result, the same solution is considered to be the own formation of this design, and standard and affordable polypropylene pipes can be used to create the frame.
The resulting frame can easily and quickly sheathed with the use of polyethylene film or polycarbonate sheets.
What materials should be prepared?
For upcoming work, you need to prepare some materials that include:
Polypropylene pipes themselves, which must have the desired diameter;
reinforcement;
bar;
Oblast board;
fasteners;
polyethylene film or polycarbonate sheets;
steel wire;
strips used to fix the skin of a future greenhouse.
During the choice of all materials, one should focus on those options that are high -quality, reliable and suitable for all parameters for the planned work.
Formation of the basis for the greenhouse
Initially, it is necessary to decide where exactly this design will be located on the site. It is important to find a place that will be protected from winds and other negative influences. However, it is additionally important to consider the parameters of the soil on the site, since it should not be too dry or oversaturated with moisture.
As soon as it is decided where the greenhouse is located, you can apply the marking to this place, which indicates where there will be certain structural elements in the future. Only then can you start creating a supporting base for a greenhouse. The following stages are performed for this:
The lower binding of the frame is created, and standard screws are used to fix it;
Rod of reinforcement rods are installed in the corners of the created strapping, which are laid in the recesses made for them on all the long sides of the frame, and the rods should leave the ground by about 25 cm. above the ground.
Assembly of the frame of the future greenhouse from polypropylene pipes
After a thorough and correct preparation of the base for this design, you can directly begin to create it. The following stages are implemented for this:
The ribs of the stiffness of the greenhouse are mounted, for which the edges of the pipe from polypropylene are planted on the rods of the reinforcement installed in the ground, after which the frame of arches is obtained;
To increase the strength of the resulting frame, transverse pipes are installed, which are connected to the existing elements of steel wire;
A transverse ridge pipe is installed, which ensures the absence of sagging coating from the film after rain.
The sheathing of the resulting structure
As soon as the frame is ready, it is necessary to proceed to its skin, which involves the use of various materials. For this, a plastic film can be used, which can be replaced by polycarbonate sheets. The film is most often used for a greenhouse, which simply tightens the existing frame.
However, it is important to note that the polyethylene film has some negative parameters, due to which many owners of greenhouses consider it inappropriate to use its use. The fact is that this material is considered short -lived, and also to break it very simple. In a short time of operation, the film comes into unusual state due to temperature changes, constant exposure to ultraviolet radiation or other atmospheric effects.
However, if it was still decided to use precisely polyethylene for the greenhouse, it is necessary to initially implement the cutting of the material in accordance with the dimensions of the existing design. Next, the desired strips of the film are cut off, which are attached to the frame. It is also important to refue this material under the lower strapping of the greenhouse, so that the winds grown in the structure do not blow the wind and other factors do not blow.
The use of polycarbonate presented in the form of sheets is considered to be a more correct solution for lining. This material is distinguished by a longer service life, as well as stability to many effects of the atmosphere. He withstands temperature changes, and also protects the greenhouse even in winter, so even in the cold there will be warm. However, the cost of the material is considered significant compared to the usual film. The fixation of the sheets should not be too hard, since polycarbonate has the ability to expand or compress during temperature changes. Therefore, so that the structure does not collapse, there should be a lot of space for these processes.
Thus, the procedure for forming a greenhouse using polypropylene pipes is considered a fairly simple. As a result, you can get a design that will be durable, strong and suitable for growing various cultures.
