Any gardener wants to have a quality construction site for growing vegetables on his plot, so the question often arises of how to build a foundation for a polycarbonate greenhouse. If you are not serious, troubles happen. After a strong wind, the structure can simply move and roll on the ground. To avoid this kind of consequences, a quality foundation is prepared before the start of construction. Polycarbonate arched greenhouses are particularly susceptible to shear due to their shape. Most models are completely realistic to install with your own hands for a short period of time.
The easiest option will be the foundation for a polycarbonate greenhouse, assuming a conventional timber strapping. Before use, wood material must be treated with a protective compound against biological effects and decay. A trench breaks out under it, at the bottom of which waterproofing is laid in the
form of roofing material or another bitumen product with good resistance. Thus, the wooden beam is protected from the environment. When the harness is fully prepared, the structure is fixed using
metal corners or other fasteners.
Although such a foundation for a polycarbonate greenhouse is quite simple, it must be understood that its service life is not very long. Therefore, those who plan the long-term use of greenhouses can be advised to concreting embedded elements. The process is also fast enough, due to point contact with the ground. However, in contrast to the previous version, providing for the transfer to another place, in this case, soil depletion cannot be avoided. Thus, sooner or later for good yields, you will have to take breaks in planting.
The most reliable foundation for a polycarbonate greenhouse can be erected by filling the tape base along the entire perimeter. To do this, you will have to dig a trench on each side to get a closed chain. When pouring directly into the solution, connecting elements are placed, allowing to fix the entire structure. Such a foundation may claim to be the ideal foundation, but it also has the disadvantage of the previous option related to soil depletion. The subsequent quality of the structure will largely depend on the strength of the installation elements. The listed foundation options are quite suitable for a polycarbonate veranda.
At the last stage, it remains to make the work in the greenhouse as comfortable as possible. It is best to raise the beds above the surface of the earth, making them out of brick. The height of this design will depend on the size of the garden trolley, since its use will greatly facilitate the work. It is recommended to put down insulation material to protect it from freezing. Thanks to this, in the future it will be possible to collect an early crop of vegetables and herbs every year.
