Wooden greenhouse with her hands

Wooden greenhouse with her hands

The greenhouse on the household plot is a fairly useful economic structure. It is possible to build it from any available materials, the choice of which is often due to the tastes and financial capabilities of the dacket. In today's article, I would like to tell in detail about how to build a greenhouse from the tree with your own hands, without squinting a lot of strength and money.

Wooden features as a greenhouse material

  1. The frame from BRUSEV is quite simple to collect himself, without resorting to the help of specialists.
  2. Wood has good strength and environmental friendliness.
  3. You can purchase this material in any carpentry workshop or in the construction market.
  4. The tree is less durable than the metal, but with proper processing it is able to serve you to 7 years.
  5. For the construction of the greenhouse at all, it is not necessary to spend money on the expensive bars of noble breeds. The main requirements - wood should be high quality, well dried, not having bitch and defects.
  6. This building material necessarily needs impregnation with special compositions to protect against mold, rotting and cracks.

How build wooden greenhouse do it yourself

The process of planting the greenhouse does not take much time. Armed with his own desire, minimal carpentry skills, as well as our advice, you will erect the construction in a short time.

Greenhouse preparation

  1. First of all, you need to decide on the territory on which your greenhouse will be located. It is desirable if it is a smooth area in an open area, where the shadow does not fall from neighboring buildings or trees.
  2. After the right place is found, it is necessary to level the soil under the future greenhouse, periodically checking the result using a building level.
  3. If you plan to do heating in a greenhouse, then at this stage it is necessary to pave under the future construction of the heating system.

Definition of the shape and size of the design

The area of \u200b\u200bthe future greenhouse depends on the main factors:

  • size of the country area;
  • type of plants that are supposed to be grown in a greenhouse;
  • the financial capabilities of the owner of the cottage, because the high consumption of building materials requires significant cash investments.

It should be understood that there is no practical benefit in too spacious greenhouse. The fact is that it is impossible to grow cultures with various agrotechnical characteristics in one room. For example, tomatoes are unlikely to stay in one roof with cucumbers, since the first requires good humidifier of soil and air, while the second like a dry climate. Different temperature and light modes also play a role in growing vegetables. Therefore, for a garden greenhouse, the size of 3x6 m is considered optimal. Such a building will not take much space in the area of \u200b\u200bthe site, and the collected crop is quite enough for a family of 6 people.

The Internet presents a lot of drawings of wooden greenhouses of a wide variety of forms. There are structures in the form of a tent, arch, pyramids, geocuopol, etc. The easiest and most popular view of the greenhouse is a structure with straight walls and a bone roof. Such a greenhouse is quite easy to wash with a film or glass, and for greater strength and saving materials, the walls at the bed level can be closed with wooden panels.

Locking the foundation under wooden greenhouse

The main requirements for the foundation are strength, stability and reliability. Among the many types of supports are the cheapest and practical belt option. Consider in detail the stages of its creation:

  1. On the perimeter of the future building, dig out a depth of about 15 cm and a width of 20 cm.
  2. If the ground on the plot is too soft, build a formwork from the board. Then pour the trench with concrete solution.
  3. Well check the horizontal structure with the help level.
  4. From all the sides of the foundation and at its end, install 12-millimeter anchor bolts. This should be done in such a way that they exactly correspond to the base of the greenhouse frame.
  5. A few days later, when concrete completely freezes, put a row of bricks on top of it. Make sure that the seams between them coincide with the anchor bolts and did not have voids.
  6. Before installation on the foundation of the frame of the future building, cover bricks with a strip of waterproofing material.

Installation wooden carcass greenhouse

After booking the foundation, the time to build a greenhouse frame. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Take a wooden timber, cut it into fragments of the required length and secure each other with the help of brackets and metal corners. You have the foundation of the greenhouse, which can be installed on the finished support.
  2. Before doing this, you need to adjust directly to the foundation a wider carrier bar on which the base board will later be fastened. Fix wooden elements should be fixed with steel corners, reinforcements or bolts. Before installing the carrier log, do not forget to treat it with antiseptic means, oil and paint - this will help substantially extend the life of its operation.
  3. After the work done, you can proceed to securing the framework of the frame around the perimeter of the construction. Be sure to check that it is solid, the connection site of the elements was tightly fit to each other, and the aspect ratio was proportional.
  4. When the base is attached to the foundation, it comes time to mount the cooler axles. With its installation there should be no problems, just connect the frameworks of the frame and the base among themselves according to your project.
  5. The next stage of the work is the installation of frames, submarines, lags and a ceiling of the structure. All these elements can be fixed with the help of corners, clamps, screws or metal profiles.

Covering greenhouse

After preparation of the frame, you can proceed to the coating of the greenhouse. For this, first of all, it is necessary to choose the appropriate material among several options: films, glass or cellular polycarbonate. Consider in more detail the characteristics of each of the coatings:

  1. Polyethylene film is the most inexpensive and economical option. Its disadvantage is a very short service life - about one season. She will serve you summer, but in the first winter will be born under the weight of the snow either just will hang out and will lose transparency. You will need to take your greenhouse annually with such material, and this will have to do it only in warm and dry weather. Based on this, the early planting of the plants will not be able to hold. In addition, the film is not able to ensure the maintenance of the correct thermal sensor inside the greenhouse, and therefore in a hot afternoon of cultures will overheat, and at night - to freeze. Nevertheless, if you chose such a coating option, here are some tips for installing it:
  • turning the greenhouse is needed in series, starting on one side and turning on the other side through the roofs;
  • fixing the trim is better also consistently using wooden slats for this purpose;
  • in order to avoid the ruptures of the material and enter the design of moisture and cold, all angles on the greenhouse roof can be secured using visors.
  1. Glass is a very expensive, but more durable surface of the coating. It is good because it perfectly passes the sun's rays and supports the desired temperature inside the design. Earth in greenhouses, trimmed by such material, warms up pretty quickly, which makes it possible to make early planting seeds. However, glass costs considerable money, requires some special skills to work with it, and also has a rather fragile structure. Due to the last feature, it is not recommended to use for greenhouses located on unguarded summer cottages. For greenhouses, 4 m graded window glass or special glass for greenhouses are most often used. The installation of this coating has the following features:
  • it is best to order this material after the construction of the frame - so you will not be mistaken to the sizes of the cells;
  • you will need special staps or stops for fastening glass elements;
  • building an external sheath of greenhouses, do not forget about the strength of the covering of the coating, close the seams with silicone or other sealant to ensure the tightness of the design;
  • sewing the building with glass should be at the bottom up, providing for intensifying about 1.5 cm;
  • before installing the individual components of the frame, first cover the latest special putty and putty, apply again after fixing shtapikami glasses.
  1. Polycarbonate - the best option for covering greenhouses. It is cheaper than glass, and its service life is over 15 years. This material provides good lighting and temperature conditions inside the greenhouse. Furthermore, it is protected from ultraviolet radiation, it is lightweight and can slide into a roll, in connection with which it is easy to transport. Polycarbonate is strong, but rather just the usual cut with a knife. This coating does not lose its properties even under heavy frost. To mount the material is very simple, and even easier to care for him, he's perfectly clean. Make a wooden greenhouse polycarbonate , Using a special profile, fasteners, slats, is not difficult. To do this, follow these steps:
  • for select dry and windless day, because this weightless material is very easily carried away by the slightest gust of air;
  • the inner side of the polycarbonate sheet, remove the protective film;
  • fragment put on greenhouse frame and fix it by means of special screws, the distance between the attachment points must be 50-60 cm;
  • if the skeleton of your greenhouse is made perfectly smooth, no problems with his skin will not occur, and in a short term greenhouse will be ready.

The last stage - equipping greenhouses

Once you fully erected and the entire structure covered with its chosen material, it is possible to start the internal arrangement of:

  1. Check the construction of the presence of cracks and if you find any, and close them with sealant.
  2. Set in the greenhouse equipment for lighting and heating.
  3. Spend inside the water supply for watering your plants.
  4. Provide adequate ventilation in the greenhouse.
  5. Then, decide on what kind of culture you want to grow in the greenhouse. Based on these considerations, it is possible to select the desired composition of the soil for flower beds, as well as address the issue with their size.

We hope that the above tips will help you create on your site a good, functional greenhouse, seedlings and vegetables which will delight you with rich harvests.
