Different cultures grow differently in different territories. After all, plants that grow well in one climatic zone may die in another. This is especially true of heat-loving crops. But in most cases people were able to overcome these difficulties by creating greenhouses and greenhouses. And now you can observe the vast areas in which those plants are grown that 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 simply different names for the same design. These are actually two different things. The greenhouse is a low, small structure that is protected from wind and weather by transparent panels. Greenhouses are not heated, all the heat inside is generated due to sunlight and ambient air. A greenhouse can be simply huge, it can have artificial lighting and heating to maintain the desired degree of lighting and heat. For the cultivation of early seedlings outside the city, mini-greenhouses for a summer house or a personal plot are perfect.
Place for a greenhouse on the site
Since the greenhouse is not heated and does not receive additional lighting, 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 southeast. There should not be strong winds in this section. You need to look at the wind rose or observe on your own where the spring blows the least during the spring and early summer. Ideally, a greenhouse for a summer residence is best placed in front of a house wall or a fence. Sunlight will be reflected from them, and the greenhouse will warm up better in still cold time.
Greenhouse for giving: what to make
It’s not enough to choose a good place for future construction, you also need to make a greenhouse. To do this, a variety of materials are suitable: metal arches from reinforcement, reinforcing wire, wooden stakes or bars, plastic film, glass, plexiglass, polycarbonate and fasteners. Of the tools - a hammer, screwdriver, drill, screwdriver, construction stapler, scissors, iron or construction glue. The choice of tool depends on what materials will be used in the construction of the greenhouse.
DIY greenhouse
If there are materials at hand, then the greenhouse for the garden can be done with your own hands without any problems.
1st method. You will need a plastic film, arcs or wire from the reinforcement, 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 dug up by the ground, on the other - it is pressed by a straight pipe. On the third and fourth sides, the film is fixed with pieces of reinforcement or a metal pipe. The film must be of such a size that cold air does not penetrate after it has been fixed. If there is no covering material of the required size, then polyethylene is perfectly glued together with a household iron or building hair dryer.
2nd method. From wooden beams or reinforcement, a frame in the form of a parallelepiped or triangle is made. Immediately attached to it is a film, glass or other impervious transparent material. The film can be glued, nailed with a stapler or nails. The resulting design is installed on the site where planting is planned or planting seeds.
3rd method. If the two previous methods involved the manufacture of a mobile greenhouse, then this is suitable for stationary. A frame is made of wood or metal, which is digged into the ground by uprights. On the door or window hinges are attached old window frames. At the same time, there can be only one side on the hinges (for access inside), the remaining sides are deaf.
We buy a greenhouse
Ready-made greenhouses for summer cottages are sold in many stores, you just need to search. But you don’t have to go shopping, you can find everything on the Internet and order delivery. The package is simple - frame, legs or racks, covering material and clips for clamping. The "Dayas" greenhouse gained good fame. Installation is very simple - you need to get the structure out of the case and, alternately pulling each section, stick the legs into the ground. You can buy such a greenhouse for a summer residence at a low price - the cost starts from 30 dollars. Such tension mobile structures in the fall are easy to clean, fold and do not take up much space during storage.
Modern technologies in the manufacture of greenhouses and greenhouses
You can not waste time and buy a ready-made greenhouse for a summer residence. It will turn out a little more expensive, but it will save time. Ready-made polycarbonate greenhouses combine the qualities of all three previous options in terms of reliability and simplicity. The design is lightweight, can be left on the site all year round, and can be cleaned in the utility room. Not afraid of sunshine or frost. At the same time, polycarbonate has a high light transmission and has good thermal insulation properties.
Greenhouses for giving from polycarbonate have advantages over other designs. However, they also have a drawback - if a strong hail of large size begins, then damage to the covering material cannot be avoided. You can build such a greenhouse yourself. It will require guides for polycarbonate, polycarbonate itself, racks and fasteners. The main difficulty is the ability to do everything carefully, you need skills to work with polycarbonate cutting.
Only the owner himself can determine which greenhouse is better, because someone prefers to equip themselves with his own hands, and someone likes to buy everything ready-made.
