Greenhouses with arcs with cover material by their own hands: photo, reviews

A person buying a plot of land, plans to grow early varieties of vegetables or berries. To do this, you need a greenhouse. But not every beginning gardener or vegetable gardener can afford such expenses for its purchase. There is a way out: you can make a greenhouse of arcs with a cover material. This is what this article will discuss.

Design Advantages

• Greenhouse with arches with cover material is easy to install in any corner of the garden or garden.
• They do not need additional ventilation.
• The moisture is evenly distributed over the bed with the seedlings and is retained for several days.
• Greenhouses protect plants from frost that occurs in the spring, especially at night.
• The design easily moves from one place to another.
• Plastic pipes for making greenhouse is cheaper.
• Greenhouses with arcs with cover material do not have a lot of weight, which allows you to independently cope with the installation and dismantling.
• They can be used repeatedly and conveniently stored due to the compact design.
• No foundation is required for placement on the site.

What is non-woven cover material?

This coating is made of synthetic fibers, the thickness and color of which depend on the intended use. In general, polypropylene yarns are used, joined together by a special substance. Greenhouse arcs with a cover of synthetic fibers protect plants from direct sun rays. Non-woven material can be of different shades. To cover the greenhouses used white. It protects plants from rain, snow and frost.

Advantages of nonwovens

• They pass the air.
• They have a shadow effect, due to which the fruit ripens faster and their yield increases.
• The germination of the inoculum increases.
• There is a possibility of early sowing or planting of any culture.
• In the autumn snow cover is replaced, due to which the plants are reliably protected from frost.
• Are able to withstand a thick layer of snow without damage.
• In a hot period, protect the soil from drying out, keeping moisture in it.
• They have low weight and low cost.
• Have an extended period of operation.

Types of coverage of greenhouses

• Polyethylene film is the most common material that can pass light well, protect plants from heavy rains, strong winds and keep the heat in the greenhouse. In film greenhouses, plants tolerate small frosts, up to seven degrees below zero. The disadvantage is the need for regular airing of the greenhouse and watering the plants, since the film does not allow air to pass through and does not retain moisture in the soil. Another drawback is the accumulation of condensate on the film inside the greenhouse and a short service life. This material does not withstand the load even precipitation, quickly tears. It is enough for one season.

• Greenhouses with arcs with cover material from the reinforced film calmly withstand the load by precipitation. What is this material? This is polyethylene with a fiberglass mesh inserted into it. It is much more durable and durable polyethylene film, although less ductile and less light transmits.
• Currently, the industry produces a film that converts the spectrum of solar radiation. This contributes to the rapid growth and increase in plant resistance to frost and overheating.
• More modern non-woven hiding of greenhouses - spunbond. Its density varies. To cover greenhouses use a material with a density of seventeen grams per square meter. Spunbond will protect plants from frost.
• A great popularity among gardeners and truck farmers is using cellular polycarbonate. It has the flexibility, transparency, ease. It keeps the heat well.

Greenhouse of plastic pipes with his own hands

Many gardeners are interested in hotbeds of arcs with cover material. Reviews in this situation are of great importance. A person begins to be interested in this topic. He studies information from the Internet and printed publications, consults with neighbors and relatives. It's not difficult to build a hotbed. To produce the construction, a polypropylene hose with thick walls is required. If it is not in the household, you can buy it in a store, it's inexpensive. First, arcs are harvested: the hose is cut into identical lengths along the length. Each approximately five meters. The hose is soft, then it needs to be reinforced, that is, push the rod out of the willow inside. This will give the workpiece elasticity.

Now the stakes are cut from wood or metal in length of fifty centimeters and are driven into the ground by two rows, located in parallel. Then on these pins arches are put: one end on one pin, another - on the opposite. The distance between the driven stakes should not be less than the length of the man's step. For the reliability of the design, the connection between the arc and the pin can be intercepted with a clamp and tightened tightly, having made longitudinal incisions at the ends of each of the pipes.

It remains to tighten the frame. For this purpose, a polyethylene film or a covering material is used. The design is ready for operation. That's how the greenhouses are built from the arcs with the covering material by their own hands. To the note to the owner: the length of the hotbed can be any, it depends on how many arcs you put.

Often the site on which the structure is installed is blown by strong winds. For reliability on the ends you can install wooden supports.

How to make a hotbed of metal arcs?

Let us turn to history. When a person had a need to build a greenhouse, individual parts were not sold to him in stores. They simply were not manufactured industrially. Greenhouses with shelter material, reviews about which at that time least worried people, were built independently of what was on the farm. It does not matter which material to cover the greenhouse, the main thing is that the plants are protected from bad weather. The easiest way was to find old metal pipes and adjust them for their design. It was no coincidence that the choice was made in favor of this material. After all, each owner wanted to build a shelter for plants that will last a long time. A metal - a durable and durable material. Therefore, it is used today.

Arcs can be made from pieces of wire that are always found in the house. They are bent and stuck into the ground. For the reliability of the design, wire rods, reinforcement, profile or water pipes are used instead of wire. Of course, they can not be bent. It is necessary to carry out this work on a machine or using a welding machine. Arches are established on the basis of a solid beam, in which holes are previously made. Each arc is bolted on both sides. It remains to stretch the film or covering material - and you can use the design for its intended purpose. It turns out that very quickly and inexpensively built greenhouses with arches with shelter material. Photos of several options are presented to your attention in the article.

Requirements for the arcs for the greenhouse

• They should be easy to work: easy to handle, weigh a little and do not disappoint with their size.
• Bend without much effort. It is better to choose such material, which is well deformed.
• The materials must be strong, otherwise there will be problems with the tension of the film. It will be impossible to collect and bandage in the right places.
• Greenhouse arcs, created by their own hands, should be reliable and serve for a long time, because they are not built for one year.
• If you follow these characteristics of the material, then it is easy to choose. For example, an armature that bends effortlessly, or pipes made of plastic that do not have a wear life. But, if possible, you can combine these two materials. If the armature is inserted into a plastic pipe, a super-strong and durable arc is obtained which withstands a heavy load and imparts strength to the entire structure. The upper tube protects the reinforcement from premature aging and protects the film from rubbing.

Variation of arcs

• For the manufacture of a carcass of an arc-shaped shape, plastic pipes are most often used. They are inexpensive, they do not oxidize, they are easy to bend, cut, drill.

• Another starting material is polypropylene. Pipes from it are rigid with thick walls. They are not easy to bend into an arc and secure. They are used mainly for small greenhouses, where the angle of flexion is small.
• The most inappropriate arcs are made of metal-plastic pipes. The fact is that they bend easily. But if you put pressure on the arc, it does not restore its shape. Therefore, your hotbed will not be beautiful and symmetrical for long.
