Do you live in an old private house, have accumulated enough money and decided to exchange old windows in the whole house for new ones? But you are an economical owner and you cannot afford to throw them away! Although old, but still good window frames with whole glasses cannot just wallow under your feet. And this means that they need to be applied to some business. One of such applications can be a greenhouse made of window frames with your own hands. This design will be much stronger than the familiar greenhouses made of film and iron arches. Such a greenhouse can become a very economical design, because it does not need any tricky fastenings or some too expensive material.
We begin to assemble the frame
A greenhouse of window frames requires sufficient space for its construction. If possible, the place under it should be flat, without obvious distortions or holes in the ground. Now you need to start assembling the lower frame for the structure. To do this, you need to take 4 boards of the length you need and fasten them together so that a figure resembling a square or rectangle is obtained. Bricks must be placed at the corners of the frame so that the boards do not touch the ground. And between the boards and bricks put several times rolled up roofing felt. Boards should be attached to the corners of the frame to the top. Their height should be approximately equal to the height of the window frame. The upper ends of the vertical boards are also required to be fixed to each other by the boards. And do not forget that exactly in the middle, in the upper part, the structures should also be fastened with a board. The frame, from which the made greenhouse will be made of window frames with your own hands, is ready.
Create windows
Now you need to put the windows out of the windows and set them aside so as not to break. And the resulting frames are inserted into the frame, between the upper and lower boards, and fastened together. In addition, they should be attached to the frame. Further, in the front of the greenhouse, you need to leave room for the door, which can also be made from the window frame. Then insert the glass back. The greenhouse created at this stage from the window frames with their own hands almost acquired a finished look.
Making the roof and the door
As a roof, you can use transparent polycarbonate. There is an opportunity to make a classic gable roof, or you can simply put sheets of material on the top boards and fix between them. This material is quite cheap, and a greenhouse made of window frames with your own hands will look spectacular with it. If there are not enough window openings, then empty places can also be filled with polycarbonate. Since this material is universal, it can also be used as a lining for a doorway. If you do not want to use this material, then resort to the simplest option - a plastic film. It can be applied exactly where polycarbonate was previously offered.
Conclusion
Now we can safely say that the greenhouse, with its own hands created from window frames, is completely ready. Good luck in your efforts, and remember: almost any thing can be useful on the farm, so do not rush to throw it away.
