Unusual forms of greenhouses. Unusual greenhouses with high energy efficiency. Option #2 - design from the USSR

It is the photographs that can tell a lot interesting ideas, if you want to build a greenhouse on summer cottage. Some people who need a greenhouse buy a ready-made structure and install it on their summer cottage. And others prefer to build a greenhouse with their own hands. And the result is wonderful structures, many of which not only produce crops, but also decorate the site.

The layout of the simplest greenhouse is very simple. But you must know it, because it is this scheme that underlies the construction of any greenhouse that you want to build with your own hands.

So, the construction stages are as follows:

• a small pit is dug in the ground and filled fertile soil;
• racks are installed along the perimeter of the future building;
• the posts are connected with the material from which you decided to build the greenhouse, so that a farm is formed;
• the farm has a door and windows;
• the farm is glazed or covered with polyethylene;
• The greenhouse is heated (if necessary).

In terms of shape, the most common types of structures are arched, single-pitched and gable.

Shed buildings are good because they require less material, because such greenhouses are attached to a house or any outbuilding.

However, craftsmen are not limited to these forms alone. The options may be different, it all depends only on your imagination and the available material. For example, look at the photo of this original pyramid-shaped greenhouse. The result is a super-greenhouse that decorates the site. And you can come up with many such buildings. At the end you will be able to see photographs of original unusual structures.

What material is most often used

For inexpensive buildings, PVC pipes are most often used. The pipes are light and flexible, so it is easy to build an arched greenhouse from them. To do this, timber is laid along the perimeter of the future building and reinforcement is driven into the ground. A pipe is attached to the fittings, which bends in an arc. This is how several arches are made, which are connected at the top by another pipe. At the ends of such a greenhouse, a lath is made of wood. A hole is provided for the door.

This material is convenient, and a good inexpensive greenhouse can be built from it. Those people who have already built a PVC greenhouse for themselves claim that it can be built in 1 day. This option is also suitable when you don’t yet know whether you really need a greenhouse, but just want to try it. In this case, there is no need to spend money on more expensive materials.

A more expensive material for such a structure is wood. A frame is assembled from it, which is then covered with film or glazed. Greenhouses made of wood are more durable and look beautiful. But it takes a lot of labor to build them, as well as money. You need to have minimal carpentry skills so that all connections are smooth and do not spoil the appearance of the structure. Well, the wood must be treated with special compounds and painted in order for it to last longer.

Particular attention should be paid to the part of the wooden posts that will be driven into the ground. In order for the building to stand for a long time, this part is treated with bitumen, and the wooden truss can be fastened with tongue-and-groove carpentry joints or simply using metal plates and corners that are screwed to the wood with screws.

Each owner chooses for himself what is easier for him. Reliable greenhouses and greenhouses are built from wood that can last for many years.

Another commonly used greenhouse material is metal. But in order to build a greenhouse with your own hands from metal, you need to at least have the skills of an electric welder. Only iron and welding are used, no other fastening methods are used. Of course, you can make a prefabricated building, the truss of which is attached with bolts, but it takes a long time to make and assemble.

Metal itself is much heavier than PVC pipes and wood, so very often they build a strip foundation on which the entire building is located. The metal must be painted to protect it from corrosion. In this case, the structure you build can last indefinitely.

Metal is good because in this case the size of the building is practically unlimited. You can build a small greenhouse or a huge one that looks like a palace. If you want a reliable greenhouse that does not need to be corrected and periodically repaired, you should build it from metal. Installed on a solid foundation and painted with high-quality paint, such a greenhouse can stand for almost an unlimited time without requiring repairs.

It is unlikely that you will be able to learn everything about greenhouses solely from images, but you can decide to build one yourself.Understanding how to care for a greenhouse and grow vegetables comes with experience. A greenhouse built with your own hands is an incomparable joy, especially if it produces a good harvest. You put a part of yourself into the construction.

In the end, I would like to show options for the original super-greenhouses, which are real works of art.

Maybe, looking at these photographs, you will be inspired and also build a super-greenhouse in your dacha, which will be admired by people from other cities.

Just a decade ago, greenhouses were only single- or double-sloped, less often arched. The materials of the frame and covering also did not indulge in variety. Now it’s a completely different matter: choose garden structures to suit every taste. So I decided to choose three of the most original greenhouses, which, if I had my will and a large enough garden, could well take pride of place in my garden plot.

Greenhouse according to Mittlider

The Moskvichka greenhouse captivated me first of all with the reviews of its happy owners. It has already managed to fall in love with many gardeners, not only thanks to its durable and proven design, but also to its special method - ventilation - according to the method of the famous Jacob Mittlider. There are vents along the top of the greenhouse, along its entire length.

Through them, air enters in sufficient quantities and is evenly distributed throughout the greenhouse, which contributes to more efficient ventilation. Two more advantages of the design, which it would be a shame not to mention, are the absence of condensation on the walls and drafts harmful to plants.

Jacob Mittlider is a famous American gardener who developed his own technology for growing plants. Most of our summer residents know him as the man who brought to the masses the idea of ​​raised beds and the theory of farming on infertile soils. However, few people know that he also designed a specially designed greenhouse. One of its advantages is excellent air exchange, which is created by vents located along the entire length of the greenhouse ridge.

The frame is made of cold-rolled steel profile pipe with a square section of 25×25 mm with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. Well, if you suddenly decide to order a greenhouse more than 4 m wide, arches from a 40x25 mm profile will be added to it, which will give additional strength.

In order for the product to serve gardeners for as long as possible, the frame is treated with a special protective primer. In addition, it is coated with two-component anti-corrosion enamel - a small thing, but a nice thing! It seems that the manufacturer tried to take everything into account! This greenhouse model can withstand a snow load of at least 150 kg/m2. This endurance is not accidental, it is due to a well-thought-out design: the distance between the arcs is only 1 m. So the possibility of deformation, deflection or shift is reduced to a minimum.

Well, one more pleasant bonus for me: the greenhouse can be supplemented with closers for automatically opening and closing transoms. Such closers are a real salvation for us gardeners, because thanks to them we no longer need to rush to the dacha in the middle of the week to check our favorite seedlings.

Greenhouse with removable roof

What can I say, clearing snow from a greenhouse is not the easiest or most enjoyable task. Besides, the roof will leak at any time, and then you certainly won’t have any trouble. The real discovery of the dacha logo for me was the Delta greenhouse, which allows you to avoid all these unpleasant moments. But first things first.

At first glance, this is an ordinary gable structure... However, not everything is so simple! As you know, a lot of snow accumulates on gable greenhouses in winter. It is for this reason that summer residents make their choice in favor of arched structures. But not in this case, because the Delta greenhouse (drum roll!) has a removable roof. On both sides along its entire length there are grooves into which polycarbonate panels are inserted. The panels can be completely removed for the winter or lowered slightly for ventilation. Again, due to the fact that air exchange is carried out through the upper part of the greenhouse, drafts are excluded.

The greenhouse door is also not simple! It is divided into two parts - upper and lower. Both can be used as additional transoms for ventilation.

The height of the structure at the ridge is 2.2 m, and the width is 2.5 m. The standard length of the greenhouse is 2.2 m. The structure is made of galvanized pipe 20x20 mm, thanks to which it is not subject to rotting and corrosion.

By the way, as the manufacturer claims, the angle of the roof is selected in such a way that it gets inside maximum amount Sveta. Well, as you know, the more light there is in the greenhouse, the happier the vegetables grow.

And one more point that is worth paying attention to. It will be especially important for adherents organic farming. By removing the roof for the winter, you not only keep the structure intact, but also help the soil preserve its natural fertility. Under a lush blanket of snow, the ground freezes much less.

Wall greenhouse

I have always been all hands and feet in favor of optimization in all its forms. And therefore I could not ignore the greenhouse under the significant name “Wall”. It itself will tell you a lot.

You can use it as a winter garden by attaching it to country house(but this is lyrics), or, by placing it on a fence or outbuilding (and this is the prose of life that is close to my heart), growing vegetables in it.

It should be noted that due to the ability of the wall (to which the structure is attached) to accumulate heat, heating the greenhouse will cost you much less. This is again about the winter garden. In my opinion, the “Wall” greenhouse can be a salvation for moisture

dealers in modest dacha plots. It will allow you to realize the need for growing vegetables, while not disturbing you with its presence, but will modestly stand aside. Isn't this a plus?!

However, reflecting on the advantages of this modesty, I couldn’t help but think about the nuances of its lighting. When choosing this model, you should immediately take care of its correct location relative to the cardinal directions. The sun should be a frequent visitor to the intended installation location. Well, if all the cards have aligned and you just have a well-lit lonely wall (or a fence), then God himself ordered you to take this chance and become the happy owner of a wall beauty. Well, I didn’t call her a beauty for the sake of literary style; the greenhouse really has a very attractive appearance.

ON A NOTE

The "Wall" greenhouse is covered with polycarbonate. And of course, it has transoms for ventilation. Their futuristic appearance (in the form of triangles turned upside down) adds a certain charm to the structure.

Another big plus of this model for me, as a lover of all kinds of designers, is the ability to change the configuration of the greenhouse based on the customer’s preferences. Its width can be any in the range from 2.5 to 4 m. The height will be calculated based on the width you choose. But as for the length, there is one significant nuance: the structure is made up of separate sections, each 1 m long. So increasing or decreasing the length of the greenhouse is only possible in 1 m increments. This must be taken into account.

Folk wisdom says: prepare a sleigh in the summer, and a cart in the winter. This statement is also true when constructing a greenhouse. If you want to get an early harvest of greens or vegetables, then you should start building a greenhouse in late summer - early autumn.

1. To get an early harvest

To be able to obtain an early harvest of heat-loving crops, and in southern regions grow vegetables and herbs practically all year round, I recommend building arched greenhouse. The main elements of its frame are arches made from the most different materials: wood, rolled metal, pipes. The installation, operation and durability of the greenhouse depend on what material is used during construction.

2. To quickly warm up the soil in spring

It will help to get the first greens or young seedlings in early spring hovercraft greenhouse. Its main feature is the air insulation of the upper fertile layer of the earth from the cold lower layer. If everything is done correctly, the soil in such a greenhouse will be suitable for sowing seeds and planting seedlings 2-4 weeks earlier than in a conventional film greenhouse.

3. Durability plus efficiency

The main advantages of low greenhouses are durability, ease of plant care and efficient use the entire space. One of the representatives of this family is butterfly greenhouse. Thanks to its unusual design, in which the upper part acts as a door, vents and roof, the building is easy to ventilate. And the small size of the greenhouse makes it easy to care for the crops growing in it.

4. Plastic bottles are useful

A lot of empty ones have accumulated plastic bottles? Don’t know what to do with all this “good”? Build greenhouse made from plastic bottles. This structure has several undeniable advantages: high strength, good thermal insulation, significant budget savings.

5. For early sowing of seeds

To be able to sow vegetable and flower seeds for seedlings much earlier than when normal conditions, I suggest making a small greenhouse-box. To work you will need boards, an old window frame, door hinges, nails, a hammer and acrylic paint.

6. Pyramid-shaped

Pyramid greenhouse not only catches the sun's rays well, but also distributes them evenly. It is a structure with an octagonal base, the individual parts of which are welded or fastened together with screws or bolts. Another undeniable advantage of this structure is its convenience and original appearance.

7. Ideal for southern regions

About greenhouse according to Mittlider Many people have heard it, but not everyone knows what it is and how it “works.” The main difference of this structure is unusual shape roof with a ventilation transom. Thanks to it, the plants in such a greenhouse feel quite comfortable in any heat.

8. For “travel” around the site

To avoid annual replacement of the top layer of soil in the greenhouse, I propose to build a lightweight portable greenhouse, which can be installed in any convenient place in the spring, and put under the roof for the winter. No foundation is required for such a greenhouse; it is simply installed on concrete blocks or any other available material.

9. First - a greenhouse, then - a flower bed

Skilled craftsmen find use for any, even the most, at first glance, useless things. Yes, from the usual car tire You can make a wonderful greenhouse for growing seedlings. And after the plants take their place in the beds, tire greenhouse can be easily transformed into a beautiful flower bed or bed for growing strawberries.

10. To save the family budget

If there is no room on your site for a large stationary greenhouse, I suggest building economy greenhouse. For it you will need a small piece of film, empty plastic bottles, wooden pegs and 1 hour of free time.

All described greenhouses and greenhouses differ from each other in shape, size and purpose. But they are united by ease of construction and the excellent result obtained in the end. All you have to do is choose the appropriate option and get down to business as quickly as possible, because the new summer season is just around the corner.

Continuing the topic, to the attention of readers for proper disposal.

As a rule, planting is done in the spring, but you need to take care of the conditions, in particular we're talking about about protection from low temperatures. Especially when it comes to vegetables.

Greenhouses and greenhouses do an excellent job with this task. Let's see how to make it from almost improvised materials below.

How is a greenhouse different from a greenhouse?

Before delving into the question of how to make a greenhouse, let's determine the difference between a greenhouse and a greenhouse:

• A greenhouse is used for growing seedlings and further planting them in open beds; plants can be kept in a greenhouse all year round;
• The required level of temperature in the greenhouse is maintained due to the presence of compost or manure in the soil; in the greenhouse there is an additional, third-party source of heating;
• It is possible to grow trees in a greenhouse, but this cannot be done in a greenhouse.

What types of greenhouses are there?

The greenhouse can be stationary or portable (a photo of a greenhouse at the dacha is presented below).

A stationary greenhouse can have all sorts of shapes; the most common model is the butterfly (it got its name due to the doors that open on both sides).

Portable, often in the form of a tunnel. The main material in both cases is polymer film.

From all this it follows that it is quite possible to make a greenhouse with your own hands; this is the same creative process as growing cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.

Material selection

Before we consider how to make a greenhouse with our own hands, we will deal with the issue of choosing a material.

When choosing a material, it must be taken into account that it must meet the following requirements:

• good throughput Sveta;
• Resistance to various types of deformation, such as strong gusts of wind;
• Easy to install and assemble the entire structure;
• Durability.

As for the materials used, the cheapest, and most importantly practical, is film, and here are its types:

• polyethylene;
• stabilized film;
• polyvinyl chloride

Covering materials include:

• agril;
• lutrasil.

In order to finally decide and understand which material is preferable, it is necessary to compare them and consider the pros and cons of each.

Glass

The advantages of glass include: it transmits approximately 94% of light, lasts a long time, and retains heat.

Disadvantages: gets very hot in summer period, heavy load on the main frame.

Film

The advantages of this material include: low cost, little weight, no foundation needed.

Note!

Disadvantages: fragility, difficult to wash.

Polycarbonate

Pros: transmits light well, high level thermal insulation, lightweight and durable.

What to use to make a greenhouse frame

The frame is a kind of base for a greenhouse; most often it is made of wood or plastic, less often of metal pipes.

Wooden frame

The main advantage is its environmental friendliness. It is also worth noting that it is very simple in terms of installation.

For installation you will need the following tools: hammer, screwdriver, saw, nails, rubber as a sealing element, wooden beams, ruler.

Note!

It is advisable to cover the wooden elements of the future structure with drying oil before the installation process.

Execution Sequence

First of all, a beam is attached to the mortgage fastening; it will then become the base. Then the main beam is placed around the perimeter of the foundation, and everything is temporarily secured with nails.

Side and corner beams are fastened diagonally with timber. The door frame is installed to the side posts. The cornice is attached to the top of the side and corner beams.

Roof

In the area of ​​the points where the vertical beams are fixed, it is necessary to remove a beam, the length of which is 2 m. The roof beams must be fastened at an angle of 30 degrees, they are connected to each other by a beam. In the area of ​​the end points they must be supported by vertical guides.

The final fastening of the roof frame is done using corners and strips on self-tapping screws.

Note!

Doorway

First the door frame is attached. Do not forget that in the middle and upper parts the opening is secured with special stiffeners.

Application of metal pipes

A greenhouse, as mentioned above, can be made from metal pipes, and also with your own hands. This design is more wear-resistant.

You will need: a welding machine, a hammer, a grinder, a special attachment for working with metal (disk).

The pipe is divided into two equal parts. Tees are welded to the edges of the base pipe, and crosspieces are welded every half meter. The cut elements must be welded to the crosspieces.

Special tees are attached to the arch to secure the door pillar.

Covering the greenhouse

Once the frame is ready, you can start covering.

Film

The easiest material to use is film. It is necessary to cover the entire structure, leaving a margin of 15 cm, and then cut it off.

Polycarbonate

The front side of the polycarbonate is the one where the drawing is depicted. First you need to cut the sheets. Seal the sections with sealing tape on top and perforated tape on the bottom.

First, the polycarbonate is attached to the top, then to the sides. It is attached to the frame with a special profile, as well as rubber gaskets.

Finally, the seal and door hardware are installed.

Ventilation

In greenhouses, in order to create ventilation (ventilation), you just need to open the doors, but it is advisable to do this in warm weather.

A greenhouse is an indispensable thing for a gardener who is going to harvest a large harvest of tomatoes, cucumbers and other vegetables in the future. By approaching the design wisely and following all the instructions, everything will definitely work out.
