The greenhouse is endowed with such a plan and other benefits:

  • Gable. Construction with a roof, have a long service life due to its strength.
  • Shed. Can be used as an extension to the basic construction. In these greenhouses plants suffer from lack of light. A small angle of slope of the roof is not adversely affected its strength characteristics.
  • In the form of droplets. Resemble semicircular. Curved ramps replaced flat faces which dock at the top at a predetermined angle. The slope of strengthening the foundation of the greenhouse.
  • Kupelnye. They are based on the triangular faces. It creates favorable conditions for plants. It helps keep the warmth and good light scattering.

Installation of greenhouses Top opening: preparation and the start of work

First of all, decide to place the location of the greenhouse construction. The site should be flat, and the presence of tubercles deviation is unacceptable. It is also important to take into account the depth of the groundwater. It is not necessary to install a greenhouse near the buildings and the trees - they will shade it, and plants receive less light. Add a greenhouse is necessary so that you can freely approach to it on each side.

Various materials can be used for manufacture of the carcass. Which of them prefer depends on the purpose of the greenhouse. Suitable for light construction, galvanized or plastic moldings, wood. For large installations require metal profile. This option will be ideal for manufacturers of buildings collapsible type. Use pipe 20x40 mm cross section for the pillars and 20x20 mm for the rest.

Tip! Experienced gardeners recommend the use of a rectangular cross section profile. Since it should not be difficult at the time of installation.

electric jigsaw;

  • drill;
  • grinders;
  • screwdriver;
  • roulette

If you have planned an arched structure, need bender. As suitable fasteners bolts, cross connection. Connect all the elements of the greenhouse by means of welding is impractical because it will not be able to analyze them in the future.

If the design provides for a foundation, make it fill. the frame assembly are carried out according to the scheme. To further strengthen the skeleton of the greenhouse require ribs. After it is assembled, pay attention to hinged roof.

One of the removable side folding roof is fixed on the hinge and prop used for a shutter. For a large greenhouse, you can approach the rail. Its basis will be the rail profile.
