Homemade greenhouses with their own hands. How to make a greenhouse

It's nice when in the country there is a greenhouse created by one's own hands. And it's not so much about saving money, but about what we build for ourselves and with love. Therefore, greenhouse and other vegetables seem especially tasty to us. But sometimes creating a greenhouse with your own hands makes the summer resident think. Where to put it? What material to build? Which greenhouse is better? And a lot of other questions arise when we plan such a grandiose business))

Let's first look at what greenhouses are in general, and then I'll tell you how to build a greenhouse with your own hands in one weekend.

What are greenhouses

The most common types of greenhouses, the most convenient and beloved by our summer residents, are arched, single-slope and gable.

Arched greenhouses

has an arc-shaped roof, which allows the plants to receive more light, because the sun's rays are scattered on an arc-shaped surface, giving light and warmth to our carefully nurtured green breadwinners.

And in winter, snow does not accumulate on such a roof - accordingly, your greenhouse is not in danger of deformation or destruction (unless, of course, you carefully strengthened its frame and foundation).

Shed greenhouses

Shed greenhouse usually adjoins with one wall to some solid country house. And some summer residents attach it to the southern part of the country house.

Although there is another option: equip a greenhouse. But this is unnecessary trouble: the stove needs to be heated regularly and constantly monitor the temperature regime. When building a winter greenhouse with your own hands, you must definitely put it on a solid foundation and strengthen the base and roof well. Indeed, under the weight of snow, the structure can easily be deformed, or even completely destroyed, alas ... and it happens.

It is possible to build the so-called thermos greenhouse, which is deepened into the ground by 2 m. Accordingly, you need:

Dig a hole under it.
Strengthen the foundation.
Build walls from thermoblocks.
Make a special insulation.
To carry out heating and perform a lot of laborious and financially costly work.

Therefore, such greenhouses are built with their own hands much less often than others.

Summer greenhouses are usually called greenhouses, the frame of which is covered with a dense plastic film. This is the easiest and cheapest option for sheathing, and with careful use, plastic wrap is quite capable of lasting a couple of seasons.

Under the film greenhouses, as a rule, a wooden frame is built, on which in the spring, with light movements of our caring handles, a dense polyethylene film is thrown and fastened to the wooden base with ordinary wide-head nails (it can also be fixed with special building buttons). And you can use plastic PVC pipes () for the frame. It is not very difficult to build a film greenhouse with your own hands, even for summer residents who do not have good construction skills. Therefore, I will tell you about the construction of a film greenhouse with a PVC frame. So let's get started.

I hope you have already identified a flat place for a greenhouse. Next, you need to draw up a plan-scheme of the structure, take into account the consumption and cost of the material needed for construction. And the material will need the following:

and, which are pre-impregnated to protect against decay. It is possible to cover the wooden parts of the greenhouse with drying oil 2-3 times, soak with hot resin, or roast with an ordinary blowtorch;
polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes;
thick polyethylene film;
metal bars (reinforcement), 1m high;
nails and screws;
special hinges for doors and windows;
lock and handles (door and window);
metal loops for fixing PVC pipes (see photo below).

Stage 1

At the first stage of work, you need prepare a flat area for the greenhouse, tamp it well and knock down the boards treated with an antiseptic around the perimeter.

At the corners of the box of boards, it is necessary to strengthen the reinforcement, as shown in the photo.

Stage 2

Fasten several bars of reinforcement along the perimeter of the foundation at an equal distance from each other. For a 3x6 m greenhouse, you will need 30-35 rods. Dig the rods into the ground to a depth of 40-50 cm and strengthen them well, because they are designed to hold a fairly large weight.

The height of the rods above the ground must be at least 60 cm.

Stage 3

Now you should put pre-cut PVC pipes on well-reinforced bars, which will connect the opposite reinforcing bars to each other.

Stage 4

Fasten PVC pipes with metal loops using a screwdriver.

Stage 5

Next, reinforce the structure with a bar with a section of at least 50x50 mm.

Stage 6

To ensure the stability of the frame, further strengthen the corners of the structure with a beam:

Stage 7

Fasten several PVC pipes together so that the total length of the resulting pipe is equal to the length of the greenhouse, and then attach the long pipe to the transverse frame arcs.

Stage 8

Now cover the frame with a thick plastic wrap. It is fastened with special brackets (you can use a wooden rail, which more securely fixes the film, preventing it from tearing).

Vegetables from your own garden are an order of magnitude healthier and tastier than purchased ones, every summer resident will confirm this. But although in theory such products should also be cheap, in practice, maintaining a greenhouse costs a pretty penny. Therefore, if you are planning to start growing cucumbers, tomatoes and greens only for yourself, you should consider greenhouse options from improvised materials. And we will tell you how to build them yourself.

Greenhouse from improvised materials: what can be used for construction

A diligent owner never gets rid of what else may be needed. Therefore, in the country, a lot of things are inevitably going to be put into action and equipped with a greenhouse on the site. Of course, only a summer greenhouse without heating and a capital foundation can be almost free, but even it will help to get the first harvest a few months earlier than when grown outdoors.

Greenhouse from old windows can be impressive

Before building a greenhouse, you should decide what you plan to save: time, money, or your own efforts. For example, a greenhouse made of old windows will cost almost nothing, but you will have to work hard to clean the old paint from the wooden frames. A greenhouse made of PVC pipes is mounted very easily and quickly, but you will need to buy the pipes and fittings themselves, it is unlikely that you have enough residues lying around in your country house for a full-fledged greenhouse. On the other hand, if the appearance is not particularly important, you can try to “dance from the stove” and combine several materials at once that remained after construction and repair.

Material options for an inexpensive frame

The frame of the greenhouse must be strong enough to support its own weight and the weight of the cladding. In addition, it is desirable that it does not collapse from elevated temperature and humidity, but this problem is easily solved with special impregnations or protective paints.

So, to build a greenhouse, you can use:

Willow rods are the cheapest and most environmentally friendly material. You can cut thin branches of willow or hazel in a nearby forest or planting along the road. It is best to harvest in late February-early March, until the sap begins to flow from the trees. When choosing, it is worth giving preference to long flexible branches with a uniform length; young trees have many of them. The only preparation of the material is to clean the branches from the bark and, possibly, thorns. Impregnation with bug and rot agents is desirable, but not required. Without protective equipment, the greenhouse will turn out to be more environmentally friendly and cheaper, and if necessary, a damaged branch will be easy to replace. A branch frame can be installed alone in just a day, but it can last up to 3 years. Willow core is only suitable for low greenhouses and regions without strong winds. Otherwise, due to the high flexibility of the frame and the windage of the skin, the greenhouse can be blown away by a strong gust of wind.
Birch branches - a flexible base for a high arched greenhouse
Pallets or shipping pallets are a good source of planks. If desired, you can build walls from solid pallets, but you can also disassemble the pallets into components. The boards will serve to fasten the wooden frame of the greenhouse, and for the base you will need to buy bars. If you do not plan to make the greenhouse high, you can get by with some boards and further strengthen the frame with a metal mesh. Keep in mind that this option is suitable for warm regions and places where strong winds rarely blow.
By this principle, you can build not only a similar small greenhouse, but also a full-fledged greenhouse
Netting or reinforcing mesh are excellent materials to support sheathing. When there is a large distance between the frame elements, the film or non-woven membrane may sag. To prevent this from happening, first stretch the mesh and only after it cover the greenhouse with the selected material. The mesh will perfectly strengthen the frame of the structure and will not allow the sheathing to flap in the wind. You can attach the mesh to the frame with wire or plastic wire ties (they are inexpensive and are sold in every hardware store). Just remember to make sure that the sharp ends of the mesh do not tear the skin. If you cannot arrange the material so that the cut edges rest on the ground, you should protect them. A fine-mesh mesh can be framed with a thin water pipe by cutting the pipe on one side and hiding the tips in it. In a coarse mesh, it is easier to isolate each tail separately, for example, by putting a piece of heat shrink tubing on it.
If there is a large amount of unnecessary wire, you can build a grid yourself
A metal profile for drywall will also go into business. If after the repair you still have scraps of a durable galvanized profile, you can use it to strengthen the frame of the greenhouse. If this material is not enough to construct load-bearing elements, it will serve perfectly as a spacer between wooden poles or support the base of a gable roof.
It is easy to build a greenhouse roof from a drywall profile even without special fasteners
Polyethylene water pipes or rubber hoses are excellent protection for the frame. The bearing capacity of this material is only enough for a small greenhouse, but if there are thin reinforcing bars or at least branches inside, you can build a good arched greenhouse. For the lower strapping, you will definitely need to build a box, since soft pipes simply stuck into the ground will not hold. The finished frame looks neat and aesthetically pleasing, resistant to moisture and high temperatures. But rubber can crack from frost, so this option is better suited for collapsible summer greenhouses.
In a small greenhouse, pipe clips can be used to fasten the skin
PVC pipes - a reliable and durable basis. Craftsmen even make stairs and chairs from PVC water pipes, and it will be much easier to build a greenhouse frame from them. This material is completely immune to moisture, high and low temperatures, is not particularly afraid of animal claws and mechanical stress. To connect the pipes to each other, self-tapping screws are not needed, they are fastened due to the temperature melting of the ends of the pipes and fittings. But making a tall greenhouse with a lot of cross connections can be too expensive. To save money, it is worth building arches from the remains, and fasten them at the top with the same pipe or wooden plank using plastic ties. The ends of the pipes will need to be stuck deep into the ground or into prepared holes in the wooden piping. To strengthen the frame, the first and last arch can be made from thicker pipes.
If you make a greenhouse made of PVC pipes arched, you will need fewer fittings
Glass fittings - a replacement for metal rods. You may have left unused fragments after pouring the foundation, laying glass blocks or creating monolithic walls. These trimmings can be interconnected and strengthen the spans of the arched greenhouse with them, or placed in strips above the sheathing material so that a strong wind does not tear it from the frame of the greenhouse. Glass fittings are resistant to mechanical, chemical and atmospheric influences, do not rust, and are easily bent. Therefore, when it is necessary to replace the skin film, the reinforcement can be temporarily removed and then reused. If at home there were 5–6 long rods or a bay of glass fittings, you can make an arched greenhouse frame out of them without additional materials. Only the height of the greenhouse is limited - a maximum of 2 m, for higher greenhouses it is required to make support pillars under the highest point of each arch.
The strength of the glass fittings allows you to build high arches into which an adult can easily pass.
Metal fittings - a durable option, but expensive. Buying it specifically for a greenhouse will turn out to be too expensive. But if after construction you still have scraps, it is worth making a semblance of a foundation out of such reinforcement. Stick the rods around the perimeter of the greenhouse at an equal distance from each other so that a third or a quarter of the length sticks out above the ground. It will be possible to tie vine branches or plastic pipes to them so that the frame is more reliable and moisture-sensitive materials do not come into contact with the ground.
The reinforcement cage of the greenhouse looks very neat
Old logs with defects can still come in handy. Perhaps, during the construction of a dacha or a bathhouse, you rejected logs with cracks or pockets of rot and there was no use for them. Wood of this quality is great for the foundation of the greenhouse, since the load on it is very small. It is only necessary to build a rectangle of logs and deepen it into the ground by 7–10 cm, and a reliable foundation for the future greenhouse is ready. A wooden, metal and even plastic frame is easily attached to the logs and they are compatible with all types of sheathing, so such a foundation is suitable for any non-capital greenhouse.
In order for the square of logs to keep its shape well, a recess should be cut in the upper ones as in the photo
Bags of earth - a well-forgotten old. At the peak of the green building craze in America, the technique of creating earthen walls was revived. The essence of the method is that plastic bags (woven, as for sugar or flour) are filled with slightly damp soil and stacked on top of each other. The volume of earth in the bags decreases from the bottom row to the top, so the wall gradually becomes thinner. The foundation is a series of the same bags, but filled with crushed stone of small or medium fraction. In an earthen greenhouse, you can equip windows and doors, the easiest way is to install wooden boxes under them at the stage of folding the wall. After the earth dries out, the walls will need to be plastered with cement or clay mortar. And the roof is best made light and transparent, for example, from polycarbonate and wooden beams. In terms of thermal insulation, such a structure is comparable to a thermos greenhouse buried in the ground. The cost of a greenhouse is the cost of bags and a roof, and its durability is calculated in tens and even hundreds of years. The only disadvantage of an earth greenhouse is high labor costs, you will have to assemble a team of assistants and dig a lot of soil.
Bags make interesting structures with curvilinear shapes.
Straw blocks are another option for an eco-friendly greenhouse. If you have the opportunity to take on the field for free or buy cheap straw briquettes, they will be an excellent basis for a warm and safe greenhouse. It is best to prefer rye straw, as rodents and insects are almost not interested in it. The blocks are simply stacked on top of each other without fasteners, but for better adhesion they can be pierced with rebar. The roof and, if possible, one of the walls of the greenhouse should be made transparent so that the plants do not suffer from a lack of light. If you want such a greenhouse to last more than one season, you should lay the blocks on the foundation or strapping of wooden bars with protective impregnation.
Straw walls of the greenhouse - a great heat insulator

Whatever material you decide to use, try to make the frame smooth, especially if it will be sheathed with film material. Otherwise, knots and notches will easily tear the film or non-woven membrane.

Sheathing for the greenhouse: what can be found in the pantry

The cladding material of the greenhouse should provide good access to direct sunlight to the plants. It is especially important not to filter out one part of the spectrum, because the absence of red is bad for growth, and without blue, fruit does not appear. It is because of this that only transparent or white material is used as greenhouse cladding, but not colored.

Despite the variety of shades of cellular polycarbonate, greenhouses are sheathed only in white and light gray

For covering the greenhouse, you can use the remnants of building materials, the remaining unnecessary fragments of the old finish, and even the contents of the pantry, which no one has looked into for a long time.

Window frames with glass - a standard and unjustifiably forgotten option. The process of replacing old windows with metal-plastic or energy-efficient wooden ones is still ongoing. Therefore, even if you don’t have those lying around, unnecessary windows may well be at the neighbors or near the house where the reconstruction is being carried out. As a rule, the owners of these useful materials do not require any payment for them, so you will spend money on gasoline in the worst case. If the aesthetics of the design are important to you, you will have to remove the glass, clean the frames of old paint, impregnate them with protective agents and re-decorate. It is also important to choose windows of approximately equal size so that the finished structure looks harmonious. But when only functionality is important, it is enough just to scrape off pieces of paint that are ready to fall off with a small metal spatula, and apply impregnation to the bare areas of wood. The size of the transoms is also not too important, they can be combined as you wish. But glass greenhouses are distinguished by the best environmental friendliness and light transmission. Unfortunately, glass can be broken by hail or a large amount of snow, so it is better to make only walls out of it, and choose another option for the roof or further strengthen it.
Window blocks with vents are best placed at the ends
Plastic bottles are a free and durable material. In nature, the bottle decomposes for more than 300 years, therefore, as a greenhouse lining, plastic containers will last for decades. The weak point of the greenhouse can be the frame and the string on which the bottles were assembled. Bottle plastic is absolutely not afraid of moisture, frost, putrefactive bacteria and fungi, so the greenhouse does not need to be dismantled for the winter. Bottles for wall cladding are used in two versions: columns from containers with a cut bottom and sheets of sewn or glued plastics that were cut from the middle parts of the containers. Hollow bottles create the effect of a thermos, perfectly retain heat in the room and do not let light frosts inside. Inside the greenhouse, the temperature is so stable that tomatoes and cucumbers can often be harvested in early December. But with loose laying between the columns, the wind can penetrate and they will need to be additionally glued. A greenhouse made of plates turns out to be more airtight, but it is more difficult to make it and more material will be needed. It will be necessary to cut even parts of the bottles, align them with an iron and sew them together on long winter evenings, so that in the spring the prepared transparent sheets can be immediately mounted on the frame. When using plastic containers, you save not only on sheathing material, but also on the skeleton of the greenhouse. Since the bottles are very light, thinner beams can be taken to build the skeleton than for polycarbonate sheathing. It is necessary to prepare for the arrangement of a greenhouse from plastic containers in advance, because it will take almost a year to collect the necessary 600-700 bottles.
Different options for using plastic bottles for greenhouse sheathing
Agrofibre or non-woven membrane is a good choice for a greenhouse. This material is often bought for arranging lazy beds, but it also shows itself no worse on the frame of a high three-meter greenhouse. Agrofibre protects crops from low temperatures (down to -5 ° C), perfectly passes moisture (unlike film and polycarbonate), provides air exchange (windows for ventilation are simply not needed), and is easily repaired (the patch is glued for 1.5 minutes). Even a novice in gardening can make an effective agrofibre greenhouse. After all, the low weight and excellent permeability of the material fully compensate for errors in frame calculations (it can be very light), lack of ventilation and other possible errors. The only drawback of agrofibre is that it is afraid of claws, so if cats or dogs walk around the territory, the sheathing will have to be protected with a fine-mesh metal mesh.
The width of the agrofibre allows you to cover a small greenhouse without joints
The film is the most popular option, it is chosen by 70% of beginners and at least 50% of experienced summer residents. Manufacturers offer many types of specialized film for greenhouses, which is capable of letting rain through, does not tear due to additional reinforcement, and can remain on the frame in winter. But if you're looking to save money, it's entirely possible to use the leftover film from the closet or buy a cheap one. It will last no more than a season, but it will provide the plants with the necessary microclimate and will not require a very reliable frame.
For reliability, the film is always fixed through a gasket (bar, rubber strip, plastic molding, etc.)
Cellular polycarbonate - the second most popular sheathing material. It’s not worth buying it especially for novice summer residents, but if after building a visor at the front door, a carport or a gazebo, you still have trimmings, they can be put into action. If there is little residue, use polycarbonate for the roof of the greenhouse, since it is she who bears the shock loads from hail and mechanical from snow. It is polycarbonate that can protect the roof from old windows to prevent glass from breaking. This material is compatible with frames made of metal, wood, PVC pipes.
Polycarbonate cladding is suitable for both arched and pitched greenhouses

In accordance with the selected material, select a convenient way to seal the joints. For example, the film is additionally glued with adhesive tape, polycarbonate is assembled on special clamps or sealed with foamed polymer adhesive tape, and the non-woven membrane is simply overlapped and fastened along the entire length of the joint. If you ignore this stage of work, drafts will begin to walk in the greenhouse and tender plants will die.

Improvised cladding fasteners

When finishing the greenhouse with rolled materials (film, non-woven membrane), they must not only be attached to the frame with a construction stapler, but also additionally strengthen the fixation. The net or slats outside the greenhouse will not allow the wind to fray the material in the spans between the ribs of the frame.

A clip for attaching a film from the neck of a plastic bottle is an excellent example of a useful device made from improvised materials

Use as a fixer:

plastic net for cucumbers: weather resistant, cheap, but only suitable for small greenhouses;
fishing net made of durable synthetic threads: strong and reliable, can serve for several years, but eventually collapses due to ultraviolet radiation;
linen cord: it is inexpensive, weather-resistant, with the right tension, it insures the sheathing of roll materials well;
wooden planks: require impregnation and sanding, do not always look aesthetically pleasing, but do not require costs;
clips for PVC pipes: easy to install and hold securely, help to fasten the pipe and the wooden plank together but are only suitable for structures with a tube frame.

Now it's time to look into the pantry / utility room / shed and select materials from old stocks that will be useful for arranging the greenhouse.

Photo gallery: greenhouses from the remains

After construction, triangular polycarbonate scraps remained - make a hemisphere greenhouse If you carefully combine the painted profile for drywall and old glass, you get a very beautiful greenhouse.
Different plants require different growing conditions, so the greenhouses on your site do not have to be the same. A hemispherical greenhouse made of PVC pipes and ordinary film is very stable The remains of a wooden lining - a great option for sheathing a wooden greenhouse on the bottom When a brick remains after construction, you can build a side for a greenhouse from it An analogue of an industrial polycarbonate greenhouse can be made with your own hands

Getting ready for construction work

To begin with, it is worth determining which version of the greenhouse design suits you best.

Perhaps the non-standard design of the greenhouse will be more convenient for you than the usual house with a gable roof.

When choosing, consider the size and shape of the area allotted for the greenhouse, the number and type of building materials available, the number of beds, etc. When free space remains only near the house itself, it is worth saving on materials and organizing a wall-mounted greenhouse. And for those who prefer not to spend a lot of time on garden work, a small rounded greenhouse is quite suitable.

According to this drawing, it is supposed to build a greenhouse from wood, but if you remove the extra braces, you can assemble a metal or tube frame from it

Among gardeners and gardeners, the most popular are medium-sized greenhouses in the form of a house with straight walls and a gable roof. For the construction of the 3x4 m option presented in the drawing, about 150 m of beams, boards or metal pipes will be needed. They will need to be cut into fragments of 1.5 m (vertical racks) - 30 pieces and 1 m (horizontal lintels) - 110 pieces. The rest will be useful for braces and the frame of the door leaf.

For wall cladding, you need 35.5 m 2 of a film or membrane, which is almost 24 linear meters from a roll 1.5 m high. This roll width is optimal, since it allows you to close the walls with a minimum number of joints. To finish the roof, you need 24 m 2 of material, which corresponds to 16 linear meters from a 1.5 m roll of film or 4 sheets of cellular polycarbonate measuring 1.2x5 m. .5 m of running film 1.5 m wide or 2 polycarbonate sheets 1.3x3 m in size.

How to make a cheap greenhouse from leftovers with your own hands

We will consider step-by-step construction using the example of the given drawing, but we will implement the project with the help of thick branches and ordinary packaging film. Branches left after cleaning the garden or cut in the nearest forest are the cheapest and most environmentally friendly material for the frame. So that you do not doubt the strength of the structure, choose branches with a thickness of at least 5 cm (in section) without visible defects. For this purpose, the trunks of young acacia trees are excellent, which accumulate after cleaning forest belts along roads or forest areas. You can negotiate with the forester, who will tell you what material can be taken for your purposes.

Thanks to this manual holder, winding the film on the frame is simplified by an order of magnitude.

Wrap film does not seem suitable for our purposes at first, but it is just as durable and transmits light as well as specialized greenhouse materials. It will have to be wound in several layers and due to this it turns out to be stronger than a conventional thin film, less prone to windage and sagging in the spans between the frame ribs. It is as simple as possible to work with the material; you don’t even need to call an assistant to cover the greenhouse. At the same time, the stretch film provides excellent protection against low temperatures, so the plants in the greenhouse will bear fruit even with light frosts. The brand of the material does not matter, you can buy any packaging film in the store or order it online. You need 2 large rolls.

Since the casing of the greenhouse will turn out to be very light, the frame can also be made lightweight by reducing the number of vertical racks and struts. In this economical option, you will need 6 posts of 2.5 m, 3 of 3 m and 2 of 6 m for a horizontal connection.

Sheathing with boards around the perimeter will significantly increase the life of the film

So that the film below does not suffer from mechanical damage, beaks of chickens and cat's claws, it is better to finish the frame with boards. It is desirable to impregnate them with a protective agent, as they will constantly be in contact with wet soil. It will take about 40 m of boards.

Of the consumables you will need:

butterfly loops for hanging doors and vents (the easiest to install);
door handle;
latch or latch for fixing the door and vents in the closed state;
wood screws (the simplest stainless ones with a black coating, 76–90 mm long);
spare files for a jigsaw;
long reinforced staples for a construction stapler;
thin rubber hose or drip tube - about 40 m;
stationery or packing tape;
metal corners for attaching vertical racks (you can cut wooden ones, or make additional braces from boards).

The length of the screw should be almost twice the diameter of the cross section of the fastened part.

Required tools:

jigsaw for cutting bars;
a screwdriver for fastening wood (if you have a construction gun, you can use it and fasten the frame with nails);
construction stapler for fastening the sheathing.

Let's get to work.

Prepare the required number of thick branches, free them from branches and cut them to size. If desired, you can completely remove the bark, sand the posts and impregnate them with protective agents. The bottom can also be dipped in used machine oil or creosote.
It will be great if you can pick up even stems of uniform thickness
Dig 9 recesses around the perimeter of the greenhouse, pour some gravel inside and place vertical posts in the holes, carefully compacting the ground. In front of the greenhouse, there should be 4 posts at the end, so that two of them protect the doorway. Fasten horizontal jumpers from branches along the top of the posts and at a height of 1 m from ground level. Sheathe the lower part of the frame with boards.
Sheathing with boards gives the frame additional rigidity
Connect the highest poles with a branch so that a ridge is formed. Make a roof frame from six long branches, resting one end of the branch on a vertical pole, and the other on a ridge.
With a height of the central pillars of 3 m and side pillars of 2 m, an optimal slope of the gable roof is obtained.
If you haven't spent time cleaning and sanding the posts, wrap the frame with tape. If this is not done, the stretch film will tear already in the process of wrapping the greenhouse and will last very little later.
When wrapping, do not pull the tape too tight so that the notches on the branch become invisible
Wrap the frame with a film in a circle, trying to make an even layer over the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe walls. You do not need to leave a hole for the door, it will be cut out in the next step.
You will need to wind at least three layers of film
Cover the roof of the greenhouse with a thicker film and carefully seal the joint with tape. On the outer contour of the building, fill the fixing bar over the film. It should be fastened with nails, since the self-tapping screw will crumple the material a little when screwing, and this can subsequently lead to a rupture. But if the film for the roof is reinforced, you can not be afraid of such consequences.
The film must hang just below the slopes so that it can be fixed with a bar
Fix the film on the frame elements with construction brackets. To ensure that the fastening is strong and the film does not tear, use a thin rubber tube as a gasket.
Fasten the staples along the width of the tape at a distance of 20 cm from each other
Cut a hole in the film for the door and window (at the opposite end) and further strengthen the film at the cutout, especially carefully processing the impromptu threshold. Knock down the rectangle of the door and window leaf from the remaining branches and sheathe it with a film according to the described technology. Butterfly loops can be attached to the frame directly through the film.
The edge of the door frame should be insulated with foam tape
The greenhouse is ready for the first tests. Leave it closed overnight and the next day check how big the temperature difference is between inside and outside. If it is less than 10 ° C, then you should look for the remaining gaps and additionally strengthen all joints of materials.

If you fence off the beds with boards and fill the path with rubble, the shoes will remain clean after working in the greenhouse.

Additional finishing of such a greenhouse is not required. You can start arranging the beds and building a path for easy access to all plants.

As you can see, a home greenhouse is not always very expensive. Perhaps a greenhouse from the remnants will not become the main decoration of your dacha, but it is definitely able to please you with excellent homemade vegetables when the season has not yet begun or has already ended.

In an unfavorable climate and a relatively short summer season, the greenhouse becomes an indispensable tool for the gardener. With its help, you can push the boundaries of the growing season and get an earlier and more abundant harvest. And with some effort and means, the gardener will be able to grow crops all year round, regardless of the weather and temperature "overboard". Do-it-yourself greenhouse - what shape and what to build it from?

The creation of any structure, whether it is a large house or a small greenhouse, begins with planning. The first step in this matter is the choice of the design of the future building. There are many types of greenhouses, differing in their shape, complexity and cost of creation. What are they like?

Table. Types of greenhouses that you can do yourself

Title, photo	Description
	Greenhouse, the frame of which in cross section has the shape of a semicircle or arch.
	The shape is similar to an arch, but more elongated and "pointed".
	The classic version with a gable roof.
	It differs from the classical greenhouse in that the walls have a certain angle of inclination.
	A subspecies of the classical one - the walls are vertical, and the roof has only one slope.
	It has no side walls, the roof starts almost from the ground level.
	It differs in that the roof slopes have different heights and slopes.
	Most of the greenhouse is located underground - only the roof is above ground level.
	To save heat, the northern and side walls are made of capital and with insulation.
	The building is in the form of a rounded dome, assembled from triangular cladding elements.
	Greenhouse in the form of a tetrahedral pyramid.

Now let's move on to a more detailed description.

arched greenhouse in cross section it has a semicircular shape or a shape close to it. It is assembled from a set of arcs interconnected by horizontal frame elements. One of the most common greenhouse forms in the CIS. For the manufacture of a frame of sufficient volume, not so much material is required, which reduces the cost of construction. Its low cost does not in any way affect its strength - a well-built arched greenhouse stands out for its high resistance to snow and wind loads. And thanks to the arcuate shape, the sun's rays, regardless of the time of day, fall perpendicular to the casing of the structure, as a result of the energy loss for reflection and refraction is less, the plants inside receive more light. The disadvantage of this design is that it is not so easy to make metal or wood at home.

Important! There is another drawback of arc-shaped greenhouses, but very subjective - not everyone likes the appearance of such buildings. Therefore, if you want to get a facility for growing plants that will also please your eye, pay attention to other types of structures.

It is a development of buildings of the previous type. It has a rounded, but more elongated shape, resembling the end of an arrow. Compared to arched greenhouses, such a building has an even higher resistance to snow load - snow does not linger on a roof that is too steep. But finding ready-made drawings and making an lancet frame is even more difficult than an arcuate one.

By the way! In English-language sources and materials devoted to gardening, such greenhouses are known as gothic arch (or in translation "Gothic arch").

Also known as classical or. Previously, a couple of decades ago, it was the most common design. Differs in acceptable indicators of illumination and large volumes. In addition, it is much easier to build - the frame of a classic greenhouse consists of straight metal or wooden elements. But the downside of such a design is a large consumption of material, which affects the cost of the structure. In addition, the "house" requires props and braces that will protect the roof from being squeezed by snow masses.

Also sometimes called "Dutch". It differs from the previous design in that its side walls are not located vertically, but at some angle. Due to this, more sunlight penetrates inside, to the plants. Requires a strong frame and a good ventilation system.

Shed greenhouse outwardly similar to the "half" of the house, where only one slope remained from the roof. A similar option is most often erected as a small extension to a house, barn or fence. It is used for early cultivation of seedlings for planting on open ground.

Are you planning to switch to indoor cultivation of plants, but do not have enough experience in this matter? Are you planning to grow seedlings? Ask yourself these questions, and if at least one of them is answered “yes”, then it's time for you to think about.

Placed in the right place, it receives maximum solar energy, so the presence of vents is mandatory here, otherwise the plants will simply overheat in hot weather. It is built relatively simply, but at the same time, the useful internal volume leaves much to be desired. Often part of the building is located below ground level.

Created by the horticultural expert of the same name and Ph.D. in agriculture. It differs from a classic or arched building in that the slopes or halves of the roof have different heights. A vertical wall is formed between them, where a number of vents are mounted. As a result, the greenhouse achieves the most efficient ventilation and air circulation, which has a positive effect on plant yields.

It differs from an ordinary greenhouse in that the level of slopes is different - one of them, facing the north side, is higher, and the southern one, on the contrary, is lower. In the middle, at the junction of the slopes, there is a vertical wall with transoms along the entire length of the greenhouse.

Created with the expectation of maximum accumulation of solar energy and maintaining the optimum temperature for the growth of crops, even during the most severe winter cold. To do this, the building is submerged to the very roof under the ground, which acts as a kind of heat insulator. The main problem of such a greenhouse is the huge labor costs during construction due to the need to dig a pit of impressive size. In addition, the structure needs good protection from groundwater.

It is another example of the implementation of the idea of saving heat in the building. To do this, the northern side of the building is made of brick, timber or other material and is insulated from the outside. Inside the greenhouse, in addition to plants, gravel bags and other objects are placed that accumulate heat during the day and then release it in the evening and at night. As a result, the gardener gets a building in which you can grow vegetables even in winter and with minimal heating costs. Further, in one of the sections of the article, special attention will be paid to a greenhouse with main walls and a solar battery.

Exotic and rather rare types of do-it-yourself greenhouses are buildings in the form and. The cost of their construction is many times higher than the structures of classical forms, but at the same time they have an unusual appearance and outstanding qualities in terms of accumulating solar heat and providing a microclimate inside.

In addition to the form, the greenhouse differs in the period of operation and is divided into two types.

Seasonal- the simplest structures without any heating systems. Used in the period from spring to autumn, they allow you to "push" the boundaries of the summer season.
or winter - built and equipped to work in the cold season, able to provide optimal conditions for the growth and maturation of agricultural crops even in sub-zero temperatures outside.

Now let's move on from the structures and forms of structures to the materials from which they are created. First, consider the frame - the basis of any greenhouse.

Frame materials

There are three main groups of materials from which the frame of the greenhouse is made:

wood;
metal;
polyvinyl chloride.

From wood, a bar of rectangular and square section is most often used. With its average cost, it is highly manufacturable - it is very simple to work with such material using ordinary home tools. With proper assembly and use of props, struts and jibs, the timber frame is very strong and reliable.

Square wooden beam

Important! The main enemies of wood are mold and rot. This problem is solved by two measures. The first is the choice of high-quality timber from larch, a tree species that is most resistant to decay. The second is the processing of blanks for the frame with 2-3 layers of antiseptic impregnation.

When choosing a beam for a greenhouse frame, be sure to pay attention to the following things.

Humidity - the wood must be properly dried, otherwise the frame of the greenhouse will shrink after construction.
The presence of a large number of knots is undesirable.
Wood fibers should not have serious defects.
Separate foci of mold are not allowed.
The beam for the frame of the greenhouse must match in size and straightness.

Due to the characteristics of the material and the fact that the creation of bent wood parts with your own hands is a complex and time-consuming process with a large percentage of rejects, timber is rarely used to create arched or lancet greenhouses. At the same time, it is remarkably suitable for buildings of a classical form.

The next material for the greenhouse frame is metal. It is represented by many types of steel and aluminum profiles. The most popular is a profiled pipe with a section of 20x20 mm or more. With a comparatively small weight and low cost, it is characterized by high strength. In addition, with a high-quality zinc coating or powder coating, the profiled pipe is durable and resistant to corrosion. Frame elements made of this material are fastened using self-tapping screws, welding, nuts with bolts and special crab-type connectors.

Important! The manufacture of bent frame parts for an arched greenhouse from a profiled pipe is possible using a home-made machine, which is easy to assemble.

In addition, from metal products, a corner, a ceiling profile for drywall and a W-shaped roof profile are very popular. They are even lighter and more convenient to process, but the reverse side of this advantage is lower strength and low resistance of the finished structure to snow load.

And the last group of materials for the manufacture of the frame of greenhouses is PVC pipes and profiles. They are quite flexible and cheap, they are easy to use, store and transport. The PVC frame is suitable for a light summer greenhouse of a small area.

Sheathing for a greenhouse built by one's own hands

From above, the frame of the greenhouse is covered with a transparent material that transmits a significant part of the sunlight.

Used as cladding:

glass;
film;

Several decades ago, glass was the main material used in the construction of greenhouses, greenhouses and conservatories. It has high light transmission and does not react with chemical compounds. Also, glass is not subject to any corrosive effects and is characterized by high durability - a frame made of wood or metal will quickly become unusable. But the latter advantage is debatable - this material is also known for its fragility, and any stone or thick branch can turn durable glass into a bunch of sharp fragments. Therefore, in recent decades, it has been replaced by transparent polymers.

One of the representatives of such materials is polyethylene film. If you are looking for something very cheap to cover the carcass for one season, film is your choice. But keep in mind that the material is short-lived and fragile.

Important! There are separate types of polyethylene film with reinforcement. It gives the material strength, increases its service life and resistance to wind.

The third material for covering the greenhouse is cellular polycarbonate. This is a relatively inexpensive material with high impact strength - in a situation where the glass breaks, the polycarbonate will only wrinkle or get a few small cracks. In addition, it is light and very flexible, and therefore ideal for greenhouses with rounded frame elements. The presence of air-filled honeycombs gives polycarbonate the best thermal insulation of all sheathing materials.

As for the disadvantages, they are as follows:

gradual destruction of the material under the sun;
the need to take into account during installation a significant expansion of polycarbonate when heated;
without end protection, polycarbonate cells will quickly fill with dirt, condensate and mold, the material will bloom and become unusable.

To create a greenhouse with your own hands, it is important to choose the right quality polycarbonate. An important criterion in the choice should be the manufacturer. Do not chase cheapness and buy Chinese materials. A proven high-quality manufacturer of polycarbonate in the domestic market is the Kinplast company. Its assortment includes several grades of cellular polycarbonate: WOGGEL - a premium material created in collaboration with European colleagues; SKYGLASS - represents an ideal ratio of price and quality; AgroTITANIUM and polycarbonate SPECIAL FOR GREENHOUSES - designed to create greenhouses and greenhouses, contributes to the creation of an optimal microclimate for plants, is distinguished by an affordable price.

Greenhouse with a main wall and do-it-yourself heat accumulation

Winter greenhouses with the possibility of growing seedlings, vegetables and berries, even in cold weather, have been known to gardeners for a very long time. But they have one significant drawback - high heating costs. How to solve this problem? First, it is necessary to limit the loss of such valuable heat. To do this, in the greenhouse below, the northern half is allocated as a utility room, and between it and the beds is a main wall upholstered with mineral wool. In addition, the building is equipped with a heat accumulator.

This accumulator is a network of rather thick pipes laid underground and having exits to the outside. During the day, sunlight warms the soil in the greenhouse, which does the same to the air in the pipes. At night, the temperature in the greenhouse drops. Warm air, obeying the laws of physics, rushes up, cold air - down into the pipes. There it warms up from the soil, the cycle repeats, the circulation of air masses begins, the temperature in the greenhouse remains within the limits suitable for seedlings and plants.

Consider the construction of such a structure in the form of step-by-step instructions.

Step 1. A site is selected, measurements and demarcations are made. A pit breaks out with a depth of 30 to 70 cm, its walls and bottom are leveled. To speed up the process when building a large greenhouse, it is advisable to use special equipment.

Step 2 Along the edges of the pit, a formwork for a strip foundation is being constructed.

Step 3 Concrete is poured inside the formwork, a strip foundation is created.

Step 4 The bottom of the pit inside the perimeter is covered with thermal insulation.

Step 5 Horizontal pipelines are laid on top of the thermal insulation to ensure air circulation.

Step 6 The ends of the air ducts are being equipped, everything inside the foundation is covered with earth.

Step 7 The frame of the northern and side walls of the greenhouse is being constructed. Instead of wood, you can use brick or concrete blocks.

Every summer resident and owner of his own house, sooner or later, has a desire to have a good greenhouse on his site. After all, everyone knows that vegetables and herbs from their own greenhouse, also grown with their own hands, are much tastier and healthier than purchased ones. Therefore, someone follows the path of buying a finished greenhouse. Someone buys a disassembled greenhouse and assembles it on the site as a constructor. But a considerable part of gardeners want to build a greenhouse with their own hands. After all, everyone knows: if you want to do something well, do it yourself.

How to build a greenhouse with your own hands? To begin with, let's figure out what types of greenhouses are. This is important for choosing the future design and material of the greenhouse.

Winter and summer greenhouses

All greenhouses can be divided into two large groups: winter and summer. They differ in the presence of a heating system in a winter greenhouse, which allows you to grow plants in such a greenhouse all year round. The summer greenhouse is designed for faster ripening of fruits and protection of plants from accidental frosts.

Winter greenhouses are usually more solid than summer ones. They build them closer to the house, sometimes even attaching them to the south side of the house. So they are closer to the heat source. Winter greenhouses are almost never made from film. The heating system can either be connected to the heating system of the house or be autonomous. For this, an oven is made in the greenhouse.

Arched, single-pitched and double-pitched greenhouses

Everyone chooses the type of roof for the greenhouse based on the location of the greenhouse. As well as your personal preferences. We can only suggest the advantages and disadvantages of each of them.

shed roof they usually choose by attaching a greenhouse with their own hands to the house. This type of roofing is simple in construction, economical. Under such a roof, you can make an inexpensive, but solid base from a wooden beam or a metal profile pipe. The disadvantage of this roof is that snow will accumulate on such a roof.

gable roof, like a lean-to, it can have a cheap and durable frame. It is a little more expensive than a single-sided one, but more aesthetically pleasing. But snow will also accumulate on such a roof. Consider this factor when choosing a roof for a greenhouse.

And finally arched roof. A very popular type of roofing and deservedly so. Economical, quickly built, he won his niche very quickly. In combination with cellular polycarbonate, such a greenhouse has almost all the advantages. It does not collect snow, it is very resistant to winds and the dispersion of sunlight in it occurs naturally. The only drawback may be a frame for this type of roof. Making a strong and reliable frame will be more expensive and more difficult than for previous types of roofing. Let's talk about frames for greenhouses with our own hands.

Types and materials for the frame of the greenhouse

We continue to answer the question of how to build a greenhouse with your own hands. If you decide to build a greenhouse on your site, have chosen the type of roof for your future greenhouse, now you need to think about choosing a material for the greenhouse frame. What to build a greenhouse from?

The greenhouse frame can be made from:

tree
metal

wooden frame

Timber frames are very easy to work with. The tree is easy to process, it can be used to build a greenhouse of almost any kind. The disadvantage of such construction will be the susceptibility of the tree to decay. Therefore, the entire timber before construction has to be treated with special impregnations.

Metal

In order to assemble a metal frame, good skills are needed. After all, the metal will either have to be welded or bolted. Such a frame for a greenhouse is very expensive. But it is very durable, reliable and will last for decades. Such a frame is suitable for a capital greenhouse.

Plastic

Today, the construction of greenhouses from plastic pipes is gaining popularity. This type of construction is relatively cheap, even beginners can do it. Moreover, such a construction will not take much time. The disadvantage of such a frame is its low strength. Over time, plastic pipes bend, the greenhouse loses its shape. Therefore, as a capital structure, such a frame is not suitable.

DIY glass greenhouse

How to build a greenhouse with your own hands? If you want to build a capital and durable greenhouse with your own hands, then a glass greenhouse is a good option. Moreover, such a greenhouse will not necessarily be expensive. After all, it can be built from.

Many people, when replacing old wooden windows with plastic ones, simply throw the frames into the trash. So you can get the material for your greenhouse for free. You just have to process the wood of the window frames and fasten them together. You will even have windows and vents ready to ventilate the plants on hot days.

However, do not forget that glass is a heavy material. Therefore, the foundation of such a greenhouse should be appropriate. It must be recessed, or . Or you can make a slab foundation and divert water from under it.

DIY film greenhouse

Such a greenhouse, although it requires frequent film changes, is still common. Because the film is easy to mount and it is cheap. In addition, with careful attitude, it can withstand several seasons. It is not suitable for a do-it-yourself winter greenhouse, but it copes very well with the functions of a summer one.

An ideal design option for a film greenhouse would be a frame made of plastic pipes curved by an arch. Such an arch is built in one day, it is cheap and even one person can handle it. The arch is closed with a film. And for the winter it can be removed. It is possible to modernize such a greenhouse somewhat if agrofiber (geotextile) is used instead of a film.

Do-it-yourself agrofibre greenhouse

Can be used as a do-it-yourself greenhouse covering material. It passes water and steam well. Your plants will be irrigated with rainwater and will be able to "breathe" freely. White geotextile provides enough light for plants, and at the same time will not let the sun's rays burn the foliage. Such a greenhouse needs less ventilation than those made from other materials. Agrofibre is a durable material, unlike film. You can use it for many years. It does not tear, is not afraid of piercings, stretches well. Today, this is a good alternative to film.

Do-it-yourself cellular polycarbonate greenhouse

Do-it-yourself such greenhouses are made for all types of roofs and frames. They are both arched and single-gable. Polycarbonate is attached to both wood and metal. They are covered with frames made of plastic and aluminum pipes. In general, this is a universal material for building a greenhouse with your own hands. When choosing polycarbonate, pay attention to its thickness and weight. Choose sheets with a thickness of 4 mm. Better than 6-8 mm. In addition, the sheet should be heavy enough. Do not forget that polycarbonate cannot be mounted in a horizontal position. The condensate in the combs must be free to roll and flow out. Otherwise, polycarbonate will quickly become overgrown with algae and lose its transparency.

We hope that our article helped you in choosing the type of your future greenhouse and we answered the question of how to build a greenhouse with your own hands. Share your thoughts and questions in the comments to the article. We are very interested, but what kind of greenhouse did you make with your own hands?

Russia has vast territories that are located in different climatic zones. Climatic conditions in most of the country do not allow harvesting throughout the year.

The natural wisdom and ingenuity of the Russian people made it possible to significantly increase the vegetation period of plants. Productively using greenhouses of various shapes and designs, amateur gardeners got the opportunity to get an early and late harvest.

A more competent approach to the construction of a greenhouse will allow you to harvest throughout the year. In this article we will try to tell you how to make a greenhouse with your own hands.

Design features

A self-made greenhouse embodied in reality occupies an important place on the summer resident's site. A self-made greenhouse does not mean that in terms of its functionality it will be less effective.

Photos and drawings of greenhouses for making your own hands can be viewed and studied on thematic sites. The design of the greenhouse, its shape, will depend on the purpose of the object.

The most popular materials for the construction of greenhouses are fiberglass or metal galvanized profile pipe, which performs the supporting role of the structure. Glass, polyethylene film, polycarbonate can be used as a coating.

The appearance of the greenhouse

Usually a greenhouse is designed for a botanical plant species. Factors such as the transmission of the light flux of the coating material and maintaining the required temperature inside the room are taken into account.

The shape of the greenhouse are:

with one slope. It can be a winter garden or a greenhouse. A passage is provided along the entire length, usually adjacent to the southern wall of the house;
with two slopes. This is the most common form throughout Russia. Assumes a variety of options for internal arrangement;
in the form of a drop. Sufficiently stable design, but difficult to install;
domed. It has a very spectacular appearance with a modest consumption of materials;
polygonal shape. They look great on the garden plot of the cottage, they easily tolerate strong winds.

Greenhouse classification

Objects that maintain an artificial climate inside themselves can be classified as collapsible and stationary greenhouses. Folding greenhouses quickly enough occupied their niche in the market of gardeners.

The ultralight frame has unified parts that can be assembled and disassembled by a person without special training. The price of such a kit will not put serious pressure on the family budget.

The coating of this design is usually a special polyethylene film. With careful handling, it can be used for several years.

A kind of classic for summer residents is the stationary design of the greenhouse. In this case, the steel load-bearing frame rests on the foundation structure. Oven windows are arranged for ventilation, at regular intervals of wall glazing sections.

Greenhouses are also divided according to the type of characteristic features, depending on the author of the project. The design of the greenhouse, the author of which is Kurdyumov, provides for watering the plants with a drip method. Also, greenhouses have the ability to maintain the desired range of temperature and humidity.

The design of the greenhouse, authored by Mitlider, is a solid structure made of natural wood. As a rule, such greenhouses are installed in the direction of the sun. This ensures the best illumination of plants.

Preparatory work

In order to make the simplest greenhouse manually, it is necessary to carry out the necessary preparatory measures.

When choosing a place for a greenhouse, one should be guided by the fact that there is no interference with direct sunlight. The site should be as flat as possible, it is desirable to have protection from the effects of strong winds.

It should be noted that you will need water for irrigation and electricity for lighting. Therefore, the greenhouse should be located on the site in an acceptable proximity to these sources.

Choosing the material for the frame of the greenhouse

Considering the choice of material for the supporting structure of the greenhouse, it should be noted that each of them is good in its own way. The following materials are considered the most popular today:

Wood. Wooden structures are easy to manufacture; professional skills of the performer are not required. Antiseptic treatment of the structure is required.

Aluminum. The low specific gravity of the metal and sufficient strength give the frame an aesthetic appearance, stability and durability. The high price of the profile is the main obstacle to wide application.

Plastic. The metal-plastic profile, due to its low specific gravity, sufficient strength, has gained popularity among summer residents. The relatively low price and high performance have become the hallmark of this material.

Steel. Galvanized steel profiles are quite popular in the construction of greenhouses. Installation of a frame from a profiled galvanized pipe does not require special training and equipment. Under such a frame, it is necessary to arrange a strip foundation.

Installation of the supporting frame of the greenhouse and coating

The reliable design of the frame will be the key to protecting plants from the sultry rays of the sun and heavy rains.

After the concrete in the foundation has gained the necessary strength, you can prepare the frame elements for assembly. The elements of the lower belt and rack are bolted together.

The elements of the upper belt and roof slopes are sequentially connected into a spatial structure with rigid connections. The entrance door is located on the leeward south side.

To ensure effective vortex ventilation, it follows by placing opening windows in the roof structure.

When covering the greenhouse with your own hands from polycarbonate, the sheets are attached to the frame with anodized steel screws. A rubber seal is laid between the polycarbonate sheet and the frame element.

Glass coating is the most traditional material. However, high operating costs pushed it into the market of greenhouse materials.

The film covering differs in the low price and simplicity in work. It should be noted the low durability of this material.

Plumbing, electricity, greenhouse heating

After the frame of the greenhouse, covering, ventilation is completed, you can proceed with the installation of the electrical network, heating and water supply.

Given that the humidity in the greenhouse will be high, all electrical work must be carried out taking into account the requirements of the relevant norms and rules for performing special work.

Stove heating, electric energy, gas can be considered as a source of heat for the room. The issue of efficiency will depend on the regional location of the facility.

For productive work, it is desirable to bring water into the greenhouse. For this, a plastic pipe with a diameter of 1.5 inches is usually used. The riser is located at the entrance to the room.
