Greenhouse Polycarbonate own hands

How to greenhouse polycarbonate

First preparatory work:

• choose the best location;
• do the necessary calculations;
• draw up blueprints of the future constructions;
• determined with a view of the foundation;
• draw a skeleton plan and think through ways of its attachment to the base.

frame for greenhouses Polycarbonate

following materials are used to create the frame of polycarbonate greenhouses:

1. Wood has many advantages - it is environmentally friendly and easy to handle.At the same time there are also significant drawbacks: being in a hostile environment, the wood begins to rot and crumble.It should be handled by special means several times per season.
   
   More wooden frame can not stand heavy loads during heavy snowfall.If you are unable to leave the city in the winter and clean roof greenhouses, it is better to abandon such material.
2. Metal.There are two options: the bent pipe or galvanized profile.It is better to choose the second material - it is more durable and does not require anti-corrosion treatment facilities.

first phase of construction - reliable support

must first make a foundation, which will strengthen the frame.

most durable and high-quality support for your greenhouse will become a concrete foundation.A positive factor of this design feature is to store heat.During the day it is warmed by the rays of the sun, and at night - gives all the plants.Strip foundation also accumulates excess moisture, and returns back into the environment, if necessary.

The main conditions which must be observed in the manufacture of the base - is to create a level surface, the correct drainage of excess water, mandatory waterproofing (roofing felt or bitumen layer) between the frame and the support.

Building greenhouses polycarbonate

1. Prior to installation, determine on which side of the sheet suffered layer prevents the penetration of UV rays.Attach the polycarbonate protective film to the outside, which then do not forget to take off.
2. Lay the sheets so that the cells are arranged vertically, this will prevent the accumulation of condensate.
3. Attach the polycarbonate sheets are self-tapping screws with sealing washers made of rubber.The distance between connection elements makes about 50 cm.
4. When mounting design, keep in mind that the sheets are bent only in the direction perpendicular to the stiffeners.
5. Cut polycarbonate, you can use the usual tools: conveyers, metal hacksaw or jigsaw.For fixing screws using a drill.

Installation of polycarbonate greenhouses: step by step instructions

1. With the help of ropes and pegs mark the contours of the future structure.
2. When you pour the foundation, insert the perimeter of asbestos cement pipes for the installation of the frame structure.Hole depth should be about 1 m.
3. After hardening concrete can be mounted in the frame, to which are attached sheets of polycarbonate.
4. doors are made of wooden beams.After his oboshёte polycarbonate, be sure to attach the handle on both sides.

If you plan on planting early February, then equip the structure of central heating and additional lighting.
