Greenhouses are found in most summer cottages and are used for growing both seedlings and vegetable crops. Greenhouses for summer cottages have a lot of advantages - they are compact, the earth warms up quickly and efficiently in them, and the humidity inside the structure is maintained at the required level (which is important, say, when growing cucumbers). What are the criteria for choosing greenhouses, what to look for and whether it is possible to make a structure on your own, will be discussed in today's article.

Greenhouses for giving

Design features of greenhouses in the country

Back in the days of the Soviet Union, the greenhouse economy arose and gained considerable popularity. These designs are designed to provide the required microclimate for plants, their main advantage was (and still is) the fact that, if desired, they can always be made from improvised materials. That today, that is, for about fifty years of history, the design of the greenhouse has been improved and changed many times, all new materials and unique technologies were used in the manufacture. However, the manufacturing principle still remains the same.

From a constructive point of view, a greenhouse is a garden bed, on top of which a small frame is installed. The foundation may be present, but often greenhouses do without it. On top of the frame (and, as a rule, arcs made of metal / plastic act as such), a special covering material is stretched - an ordinary film, agrofiber or any other analogue suitable for its properties.

More specifically, for the manufacture of the frame can be used:

  • wood (in the form of bars and boards);
  • arches made of steel wire in PVC insulation;
  • metal profiles;
  • plastic pipes;
  • galvanized profiles.

The strength characteristics, as well as the technology of construction, depend on what material the frame is made of. At the same time, the sheathing material must be coordinated with the frame, because, for example, glass can hardly be fixed on plastic arcs. Glazed greenhouses, as a rule, are made of ready-made frames or a wooden bar.

On a note! also in last years make greenhouses from cellular polycarbonate - a material widely used in the construction of greenhouses. Also, the structures are more stable, but may require the installation of a base. More on this a bit later.

How is a greenhouse different from a greenhouse?

The functions of both designs are almost the same, but significant differences still take place.

  • The height of the greenhouse can hardly be less than 2 meters. As for greenhouses, their height, as a rule, is no more than 1.2 meters.
  • The greenhouse, if heated, can be used throughout the year. The life of greenhouses, as a rule, is short-lived (the structures are removed from summer cottages around the beginning of spring).
  • Greenhouses are rightly called "houses for plants." They are stationary, their walls, frame and other elements are fixed. But the greenhouse is just a temporary "home", if necessary, it is easy to remove and move to another place.

Note! Thanks to all these characteristics, the life of summer residents is noticeably simplified if they want to grow crops earlier and better with minimal time and money.

If strong winds are often observed in your region, then it is better to purchase greenhouses for summer cottages with durable rigid structures, lined with glass or cellular polycarbonate. If you have to use a film, then give preference to reinforced options.

Overview of industrial greenhouses for summer cottages

If you do not have the desire to spend time building with your own hands, you can visit a specialized store or gardening center and purchase a ready-made greenhouse there. The modern range of such structures is large - both simple arc models with covering material are available, as well as more "advanced" variations with complex ventilation systems.

Group one. Structures made of cellular polycarbonate

Such models are optimal for growing vegetables throughout the summer season.

In view of the materials used in the manufacture, such greenhouses have received a number of significant advantages, among which the following are worth highlighting:

  • strength;
  • convenience of working with grown plants;
  • long service life;
  • increased light transmission;
  • attractive appearance;
  • reliable protection against negative atmospheric influences;
  • ease of installation;
  • slight weight.

If we talk about the shortcomings, then such greenhouses, in comparison with other models of industrial production, are noticeably more expensive. But the design in this case can be different, as well as the materials from which the frames are made. Consider several popular models of polycarbonate greenhouses that are most popular. For the convenience of visitors, the information below is presented in the form of a small table.

Table number 1. Popular models of polycarbonate greenhouses for a summer cottage.

Name, photo Short description


"Butterfly"		 The design of the arched type, the side walls recline. There are also special supports that fix them in the open position. Access to plants is two-way. As for the dimensions of the structure, the height is 115 centimeters, the width is 125 centimeters, and the length is 200, 400 or 600 centimeters (the specific figure depends on the modification of the model). For the manufacture of the frame, a profile pipe 2x2 or 1.5x1.5 centimeters is used, the design can withstand slight wind and snow. From 5609 to 9539


"Bread box"		 An equally popular model, which differs from the one described above in the way of opening: one side of the structure opens by turning 90 degrees, as a result of which it covers the second. Tellingly, the first side can open only partially, that is, it can be fixed at an angle of 45 degrees. The height of this model is 75 centimeters, the width is 130 centimeters, and the length is 400 or 600 centimeters. The design is welded (from square pipes 2x2 centimeters), and therefore more rigid. The disadvantage is one-way access to cultivated crops. From 3520


"Belgian"		 Such greenhouses for summer cottages have a frame made of a metal corner and a shed type roof. The roof rises and can be fixed on special supports. Heights given design enough for growing any garden crop. The height of the model is 110 centimeters, the width is 120 centimeters, and the length is from 200 to 400 centimeters (it all depends on the specific modification). Note that the angle of inclination here is small, so the greenhouse is not very resistant to snow loads. Depends on manufacturer and size


"Cabriolet"		 The frame of this greenhouse model is prefabricated. The base is made of a 2x2 cm profile, and the arcs are made of plastic. The design can open on the left or right. Thanks to the flexible frame, the sections are easily raised to the required height and fixed. The height of the model is 120 centimeters, the width is 130 centimeters, and the length is 160, 330 or 400 centimeters. The greenhouse is quite high, which is also its advantage. Another model is resistant to various loads. From 6000 to 10800

Now, having considered the popular polycarbonate models, let's get acquainted with the following conditional category.

Group two. Arched structures with arcs

Polycarbonate greenhouses have a number of important advantages, but due to their cost, such structures are far from affordable for everyone. As an alternative, there are more affordable greenhouses made of plastic / metal arcs (in the second case, the arcs are insulated with a thin layer of polyvinyl chloride). In the modern market, you can find ready-made kits consisting of covering material, arcs and additional fasteners. Today we will get acquainted with the most popular models of arched greenhouse structures. Traditionally, information is presented in the form of a comparative table.

Table number 2. Popular models of arched greenhouses and their prices

Name, photo Short description Average market value, in rubles


"Cucumber"		 The framework of this model differs that is made of a galvanized profile. Includes fasteners, 7 arches with extensions, weighting rails and clamps for covering material. For connections, bolts with nuts are used, which are included in the kit. The height of this design is 100 centimeters, the width is the same, and the length is often 480 centimeters (may vary depending on the modification). A film or agrofibre can be used as a covering material. To open a greenhouse (partial or complete), the material must be rolled up and laid on top. From 2300


"Agronomist"		 Here the pipes are already plastic, moreover, they are sewn into the covering material. Installation of arcs is made directly into the soil, for which special legs are used. To give the covering material the required position, special clamps are used. The height of this design is 80 centimeters, the width is 100 centimeters, and the length is from 400 to 800 centimeters (more exact figures depend on the specific modification). The covering material itself in this case is characterized by the presence of special protection against UV radiation, therefore it easily serves for several years. From 1500


"Snowdrop"		 These are also arched greenhouses for summer cottages, but they are not initially equipped with covering material (the same clips are used to attach it to the arches). In order to press the material to the ground, you will have to use improvised means - bricks, boards, etc. The height of this model corresponds to 80 centimeters, the width is 120 centimeters, and the length varies from 300 to 800 centimeters. Note that this greenhouse is not very durable, therefore, in regions with strong winds requires reinforcement of the frame with wire ties. 1480 – 3190

Note! In addition to the models described above, there are also sets of arcs on the market that are not equipped with covering material (that is, film or spunbond), and pegs with clips also need to be purchased separately. But with the help of such arcs, you can build a greenhouse of almost any size.

We also note that when using such sets of arcs, it is quite possible to quickly and cost-effectively produce a simple and functional structure. The arcs simply need to be installed on a wooden base, and then pulled together with wire or rails.

Instructions for assembling a greenhouse model "Snowdrop"

As an example, consider the model that is perhaps the most popular. Design features of this greenhouse are described above, and the installation procedure itself is nothing complicated, so anyone can handle it.

Below is the algorithm of the required actions.

Step one. First of all, we form a bed on which the future structure will be located. The width of the beds should be in the range of 1.1-1.15 meters, since it is necessary that in the end it be completely covered by a greenhouse.

step two. Now we carefully open the package and remove all the elements that are there. We do this carefully so as not to damage the agrofibre.

Step Three. We take out the legs, install them in the arches (for this, simply insert them into the end holes).

Step Four. Now we can straighten the greenhouse over the prepared bed, carefully spreading it.

Step Five. We install the first arc at the very beginning of the garden. For the purpose of fixing, simply insert this arch into the ground.

Step Six. Similarly, we install the remaining arcs, trying to ensure that they are located approximately at the same distance from each other.

Note! The arcs, as noted earlier, are sewn into the covering material, so the complete assembly of the greenhouse as such is not required in this case.

step seven. We tie the canvas, pulling it, at the ends of the structure, for which we use twine.

Step eight. Now, using a couple of pegs, we fasten the ends of the structure, threading them into the knot of the rope that we tie the material. At the same time, we make sure that the material between the arches is somewhat stretched.

Step nine. We fasten the clips (they should also come with the kit), on two sides of each arc.

Everything, the design is ready for further use! You can already plant seedlings, take care of them and reap good harvests. The assembly procedure is described in more detail in the video below.

Do-it-yourself country greenhouses

Let us recall once again that greenhouses for summer cottages are extremely simple to manufacture, so many gardeners give their preference to this particular option. In most cases, they make arched structures. For arches, you can use any plastic pipes for water pipes - such products are flexible, they are unable to tear the covering material or rot. As for the base of the structure, it is usually made of boards, although you can use other materials for this - for example, slate, brick, and so on.

To begin with, consider the features of manufacturing the simplest arched structure.

Option one. simple arched greenhouse

To begin with, we prepare everything you need - to create the design, which is described below, you will need:

  • metal-plastic pipe intended for use in heating systems;
  • wooden stakes, the diameter of which is somewhat smaller than that of the pipe;
  • two or three meters of dense PET film;
  • hacksaw for metal;
  • nylon twine.

Now that everything you need is at hand, we proceed directly to the workflow.

Step one. We take a hacksaw and use it to cut the pipe into equal segments. The length of these segments should be the same as the length of the future arc of the structure.

step two. We bend the resulting pieces of pipes, forming arcs from them.

Step Three. We cut wooden glazing beads (the length of each of them should be about 25 centimeters), but always pointed on one side.

Step Four. We insert these glazing beads into the ends of the plastic arcs (non-pointed ends inward, as shown in the image).

Step Five. We insert the finished arcs into the ground in a previously prepared area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe garden (where the greenhouse should be located).

Step Six. We stretch the twine between the arcs as shown in the picture below.

step seven. We make the piece of twine that is located in the center longer, and we tie its ends to wooden pegs hammered into the ground. So we can stretch the structure to make it more stable.

Step eight. We cover the resulting structure with PET film. We fasten the film around the perimeter with bricks, boards or simply earth, as in our case.

For the manufacture of such a greenhouse in the country as a whole, it will take no more than an hour. Of course, it can hardly be considered a capital structure, but if necessary, you can build such a greenhouse in record time.

Option two. Homemade greenhouse "Butterfly"

Due to the fact that wooden frames are used in most cases, it is also worth considering another version of a country greenhouse - based on a wooden frame. The procedure is also quite simple and consists of a few simple steps.

Step one. First, we make a drawing of the future design. It is important that this drawing is as detailed as possible; we indicate on paper all the necessary dimensions in order to facilitate the creation procedure for ourselves.

step two. Now let's start creating the sides. We take the boards and cut out from them all those elements that were indicated in the drawing.

Important information! As for the thickness of the boards, in our case it should be at least 2.5 centimeters. You can take more.

Step Three. If you carefully read the drawing below, you will surely notice that each side wall consists of three pieces of board connected to each other. We also connect these segments using nails, self-tapping screws or wooden blocks. In the same way we build the second end of the greenhouse.

At the same time, we try to screw at least two screws into each segment of the boards for greater stability of the structure.

Step Four. We take boards prepared for the manufacture of long walls. It is important that these boards are the same. We make 4 mm grooves in the boards to a depth of about 25 millimeters - so the frames will lie as evenly as possible.

Step Five. Now we connect all these boards. For connection with the ends we use self-tapping screws, and for corner joints - bars.

Step Six. We take a ridge board, cut out similar grooves in it (they should be flush with the previous ones) and fix it with self-tapping screws between the ends in such a way as shown in the diagram below.

step seven. We build supports under the "wings". We arrange these supports so that the doors that will be laid in the future lie on them without falling into the structure. Under the supports is meant a pair of narrow boards installed in the grooves made earlier.

Step eight. On the outer side of the supports we make small grooves necessary for the drainage of rainwater.

Step nine. We install supporting bars under the supports.

Step ten. Using screws, install the head of the skate. From above we make a couple of 45-degree chamfers.

Step Eleven. We paint all wooden structural elements with paint intended for outdoor use.

Step twelve. Then we build the "wings". In accordance with the drawing, we cut out all the elements for the sashes. When working with glass, we exercise extreme caution and use a glass cutter.

The sashes should have the same width, but different lengths (at least in the design that is described in the article). Although such greenhouses for summer cottages may have the same sashes.

Step thirteen. We carry out bevels on the upper end of each sash. Thanks to these bevels, the doors will later be easier to open. At the lower end, we make folds for attaching glass.

Step fourteen. Using furniture dowels and glue, we collect the main elements of the wings and wait 24 hours for the products to dry. Instead of dowels, we can use small nails without hats.

Step fifteen. We are preparing a pair of top wood overlays for glass, otherwise it will fall out. We paint overlays.

Step sixteen. We put pre-cut pieces of glass into the folds, close them with overlays and fasten them with self-tapping screws.

step seventeen. We mount the resulting sashes on the frame of the structure. It is important that they protrude somewhat beyond the edges. Attach with loops.

Step eighteen. We cut out the stops necessary to fix the frames in the open position. We fasten these stops from the inside of the frames using self-tapping screws and hinges. Everything, the greenhouse is almost ready, you can install it in any convenient place.

Note! In order to simplify the creation of a greenhouse, you can use old window frames - in this case they can serve as finished sashes.

We will end here, now you are aware of everything you need to know about greenhouses for summer cottages! As you can see, there is nothing complicated here - neither in the assembly, nor in the manufacture of your own hands. Good luck with your work and good harvest!

Every novice gardener has to face the question of how to make a greenhouse on his own plot. This design allows you to easily start growing in early spring natural, fresh vegetables and greens even at negative night temperatures. In addition, the greenhouse is able to protect delicate plants from strong precipitation, wind and direct sunlight.

If you choose the right building material and the optimal design, you can get an indispensable garden assistant.

Greenhouse, greenhouse and their differences

In natural usage, greenhouse and greenhouse are often used interchangeably. However, this is not entirely true. The greenhouse is a large-sized building equipped with the main communications, namely heating, an artificial irrigation system, and ultraviolet lighting.

The design of the greenhouse allows you to grow various crops throughout the year. Many greenhouses are built on a foundation, and the height of the structure allows a person to calmly carry out work to his full height.


If you take a look at the photo of the greenhouse and the greenhouse, it will immediately become clear that the first one does not have any communications, its size is small. The main purpose of a greenhouse is to protect plants from aggressive natural conditions early spring and cold autumn.

Structural features and assembly type make it possible to divide all greenhouses into several classes: portable, permanent (possibly installed on a foundation).

When it comes to choosing between a greenhouse and a greenhouse, it should be borne in mind that installing a greenhouse is considered a costly affair, in which professional farmers invest more effort and money than amateur gardeners.

If you organize a standard-sized greenhouse on the garden plot, then it will be quite enough to provide the average family with a harvest. A greenhouse can be a good alternative to a greenhouse design.

It will not be difficult to prepare seedlings in winter in cups on the windowsill, and in the spring to plant them in a greenhouse. An early harvest will please any family.

Types of greenhouses

Not only the design, shape and material used for shelter allow us to talk about the varieties of greenhouses. Their location and main purpose also allow us to distinguish several types.


Seedling greenhouses have a small height, due to which they are able to retain heat well during frosts. In such greenhouses, you can grow seedlings immediately, without going through the stage of using cups where seeds are planted.

In addition, in a greenhouse, plants receive a kind of hardening, subsequently having greater endurance than at home. A seedling greenhouse can accept and grow any kind of vegetables, herbs and even flowers. It is a good greenhouse for giving.

Home greenhouses are built on balconies or window sills and do an excellent job of growing a full-fledged crop. True, it is necessary to select such varieties of vegetables and herbs that are adapted to growing indoors (cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, etc.). Having thought over the multi-tiered design, you can save a lot of space.

Mobile greenhouses have an advantage over stationary ones, since they can be moved around the site as needed (for example, to free up space, or expose the structure to the sun's rays). At the end of the season, the greenhouse is easily removed from the territory, saving space.

Greenhouses small size make it possible to work with a small amount of seedlings. The design can be disassembled, thereby changing the size of the beds.

Care

All parts of the dismantled structures at the end of the season must be cleaned of dirt and dust. To do this, you can use a solution of potassium permanganate or mustard. After that, they are thoroughly dried and cleaned in a dry, weather-protected room.

In the case of fixed structures (with a foundation, glass or polycarbonate), seasonal maintenance should be carried out more thoroughly.

To exclude the reproduction of pests, the walls of the greenhouse are treated with a solution of potassium permanganate, the old soil is removed by 10-15 cm, after which a new one is added, and ash, sand, humus, and sometimes wood are added to it. Then it is carefully dug up and processed with a sulfur checker.

A greenhouse ready for the new season is left open until frost sets in or until the first snowfall. IN winter time it is advisable to close the greenhouse tightly to protect it from snow and gusts of wind.


It will be useful to leave some snow in the greenhouse. In the spring, melt water can have a beneficial effect on soil quality. With heavy snowfalls, the greenhouse should be cleaned with a shovel or a broom; in case of moderate precipitation, it can be left alone.

Greenhouse material

Unlike a greenhouse, greenhouses are easy to manufacture. To independently mount a greenhouse, you will need ingenuity, certain building skills, and financial costs. But you can even make a greenhouse with your own hands, if you use improvised and, accordingly, inexpensive materials.

Most greenhouses are covered with polyethylene film (sometimes reinforced). The material is easy to find in any hardware store, its price is low. Non-woven lutrasil or spunbond is also suitable.

Due to the high cost, cellular polycarbonate and glass are not often used. If you make a greenhouse from window frames, then the issue with covering material is already resolved, provided that the glass is intact.

The basis of the greenhouse is a frame, which can have different shape: in the form of an arc, a triangle, like a miniature greenhouse. The material for the frame can be polypropylene pipes, metal or fiberglass fittings, glued wooden bars, window frames and balcony doors.

Having competently organized the arrangement of the greenhouse on the site, you will no longer need to spend your energy on transplanting plants after the next frost.

Receive long years a fresh harvest before everyone else will not be difficult if the design turns out to be of high quality and reliable.

Greenhouse photo

It is hard to imagine modern crop production, professional or amateur, without the use of glass greenhouses or greenhouses. Of course, growing plants in open ground has a number of advantages over growing vegetables and herbs in greenhouses, but there are more disadvantages in this method!

If you are seriously thinking about purchasing and custom-made a greenhouse, whether it is a construction for personal purposes or a large greenhouse for commercial use, before you buy, you need to decide on the shape of the future structure, the location of the greenhouse on the site, the type of foundation, the method of communications, as well as how watering, lighting, heating and much more will be carried out. All these questions will be answered and illuminated by our specialists, who have already helped hundreds of our customers to decide on the greenhouse of their dreams! The consultant can explain, show and tell everything right on your site, with a home visit!

I would like to note that you can order and buy greenhouses from us not only with ordinary glazing, but also with double-glazed windows. Greenhouses are equipped with them in order to extend the operating season, and with enough artificial heat and light, the season can be extended all year round and several crops can be harvested! Therefore, modern glass winter greenhouses (elite and luxury) are becoming more and more popular.

Well, now we can try to decide on the shape of the greenhouse.

Greenhouses, in their design, are quite different from each other. The design and type of greenhouse for summer cottages directly depends on the type of plants that will be grown in it, landscape features, weather and climatic features terrain, as well as building materials for its foundation and resources for maintenance. The most common are the following types of greenhouses:

Modern greenhouses made of aluminum and glass.

Judging by the name, it is easy to understand that such greenhouses are made of glass and aluminum profiles. IN Lately they are very widespread due to a number of advantages over greenhouses made of other materials. Application modern technologies in greenhouses allows you to achieve crops almost all year round. You can order and buy a modern aluminum and glass greenhouse with delivery to the regions and assemble it yourself according to the instructions developed by our design bureau.

Shed greenhouse for summer cottages

Because of their shape, shed greenhouses are almost never used in large and medium-sized greenhouse farms. All due to the fact that shed greenhouses usually adjoin one side to some capital building, preferably on the south side, which is an almost impossible condition in large greenhouses. Such small greenhouse is a good choice for a summer residence.

  • the construction and design of such a greenhouse is cheaper and technically simpler than other options;
  • the location allows you to save space on the site, which is also important in the conditions of small summer cottages;
  • if such a greenhouse is attached to some good country house with heating, then it is much easier to solve the issue of heating it in winter, and it will be cheaper;
  • due to common wall with a house, it is even possible to make an entrance to the greenhouse from the premises, which will allow you to go there without obvious discomfort in any weather and even make some kind of recreation area there with comfort.

Gable greenhouse for a summer cottage

Such greenhouses have a "classic" shape in the form of a house with a triangular roof. Like other types of greenhouses, they have many advantages. These are also luxury greenhouses and elite greenhouses, and they are made according to design projects. They can be easily used all year round too ( winter greenhouses) for growing vegetables and herbs.

Main advantages:

  • A factory-made structure is easy to assemble on the site in almost a couple of days. the aluminum and glass construction will be quite strong and durable. The estimated life of such a greenhouse is 50 years.
  • On such a gable greenhouse, snow practically does not accumulate. The greenhouse is permanently installed and does not require snow removal from the roof.
  • If the dimensions are calculated correctly, then in such a greenhouse it is quite spacious and nothing restricts movement, which clearly affects the convenience of performing the necessary work.
  • They are more reliable and durable than arched polycarbonate greenhouses.

The modern greenhouse is unique opportunity grow different types of crops at any time of the year. Today, such designs allow you to harvest vegetables, herbs and fruits in an enclosed space.

At each summer cottage, you can install modern greenhouses and hotbeds. Their designs are represented by many various options, which are distinguished by several features. For cultivation a large number products use a stationary facility with an automatic irrigation system.

Basically, small greenhouses are equipped in summer cottages, which allow you to get a crop only in the spring season. They usually consist of a film coating.

Today, modern greenhouses can be divided according to several criteria:

  • technical;
  • seasonal;
  • features of growing methods;
  • design;
  • coating;
  • type of materials used.

Here the gardener should decide what he plans to grow in his summer cottage.

Seasonal use separates the types of structures that are designed for growing crops in spring and winter.

The peculiarity of growing methods allows you to make a choice between hydroponic, rack and soil method. Hydroponic greenhouses are new way harvesting without soil. Cultures grow on a water basis, which in its composition has all the necessary nutrients and minerals necessary for normal growth and plant life. Shelving structures allow you to get a large volume of products. They can be arranged in several rows, thereby increasing the number of seedlings. The soil method is the most common among gardeners. Plants are planted directly into the soil.

The design feature differs in the shape of the greenhouse: straight, arched, polygonal, round.

Various types of materials are used to cover the greenhouse. The most common is cellular polycarbonate. It transmits the sun's rays well and protects from natural phenomena. Also, glass is taken as the basis for the coating and polyethylene film. Glass coating and polyethylene are not able to protect against hail and strong winds.

Wooden frames are used mainly for the construction of small greenhouses. Metal frames are made of lightweight materials that allow you to put the greenhouse on your own.

Greenhouses for summer cottages save the crop from many surprises that nature brings, such as:

  • strong wind;
  • elevated air temperature;
  • heavy rains;
  • small insects and rodents;
  • various diseases.

What is the difference between greenhouses and greenhouses

The main difference between a greenhouse and a greenhouse is the size. For each design, a frame is made, made of the appropriate material. The greenhouse is selected taking into account what type of plants will be grown in it. It is worth considering its height. Greenery does not necessarily need huge structures, but flower crops need a lot of space to grow.

Greenhouses allow you to get an early harvest of greens and vegetables. Greenhouses for summer cottages allow you to grow almost all year round. Temperature control and automatic watering are the main advantages of the greenhouse design.

Types of greenhouses

There are several types of structures:

  1. Traditional. It has a gable roof. Basically, this type is used for a separate structure. Unlike stationary structures, it has its own separate, vertical walls.
  2. Greenhouse with pitched roof wall. In such structures there is a lot of light and warm air. This species is suitable for growing high-growing crops such as grapes and cucumbers. In this case, the wall will give off part of its heat, so you do not need to constantly maintain temperature regime.
  3. Dutch type of greenhouses. The structure of this design has a gable roof, which smoothly passes into the walls. This device has the most stability. Greenhouses of this type are bright and warm. Supports are installed for the proper cultivation of tall crops.
  4. Polygonal. In its structure, the structure has several angles and faces. It is used mainly for decoration in the suburban area. Suitable for a winter garden. The high price of such a structure is not suitable for everyone.
  5. Miniature. Mainly used in small suburban areas. The air in them heats up very quickly, which saves on heating systems. It is worth carefully monitoring the temperature regime. To avoid overheating of plants, the room must be ventilated.

Greenhouse room heating systems

All structures for growing indoors are usually divided into several types:

  1. Unheated. Basically, these are seasonal greenhouses that do not need heating. In their structure, they do not have a foundation, therefore, in most cases, they differ in a collapsible design.
  2. Heated. Here the plants are planted in early spring or late autumn. In this case, it is necessary to maintain a certain temperature regime. Basically, such rooms consist of polycarbonate. If you plan to use it in the winter, then it is equipped with powerful heating systems that are able to maintain the temperature required for each type of plant.

Heating systems for greenhouse complexes are divided into electric, steam, gas, water, stove.

Manifold modern designs allows every gardener to choose the right greenhouse for himself. Each of them differs in price and quality. Before making a choice between models, it is worth carefully calculating the economic profit that this project will bring.

Greenhouse complexes can bring good material benefits. They are equipped with high-quality automated equipment, which does not require human labor.

If you plan to use the greenhouse for small volumes of products, then such a construction will require minimal investment.

Progressive technical development of horticulture and Agriculture led to the fact that modern greenhouses gradually replaced their predecessors. It's not just about buildings filled with computers. The emphasis is on the rational use of available space. The developers have not forgotten about the aesthetic component. Depending on their own preferences, the gardener can choose from a variety of options.

The list opens with a free-standing design that saves existing space. In the distribution network you can find a model complemented by a fully glazed base or with a solid bottom. If the first option is suitable for year-round use, then the second is exclusively for a seasonal greenhouse.

For those who spend most of their free time in the garden, a 2-pitched wall structure is suitable. Thanks to the geometry of the roof, rain and snow will not accumulate on top.

In addition, the sloping nature of the cover allows the seedlings to receive the required amount sunlight. At the same time, a special polycarbonate film will provide protection of vegetables and berries from UV radiation.

If we talk about other types of greenhouses for summer cottages, then we can distinguish the following:

  1. Wall-mounted 1-pitched - installation is carried out only along the southern or western wall housing construction. Otherwise, seedlings will not receive required amount sunlight. If we talk about its advantages, then the emphasis should be on low cost and unpretentiousness in maintenance.
  2. "Holland" - the model immediately stands out from the rest with a wider base, when compared with the roof. Another difference is the use of a 2-pitched roof, the advantages of which have already been described. From a practical point of view, heating in the "Dutch" does not need to be installed. The non-standard approach of engineers to the design of the roof allows you to normalize the flow of sunlight during the day. In addition, the presented model is suitable for curly and tall representatives of the flora.
  3. Polygonal greenhouse - suitable for representatives of the agricultural business. Due to the presence of 5-9 faces, it can be used for the industrial cultivation of food and ornamental crops.

It may seem to a beginner that it is impossible to understand all the variety of modern greenhouses. In fact, everything depends on the ability to analyze your own needs. It's about about the area of ​​the site, the nature of the crops and the desired result.

Buildings are allocated into a separate category, where the emphasis is shifted from the functional component to appearance. Simply put, with such a greenhouse, you should not expect an incredible harvest in size. With it, the gardener has the opportunity to decorate the existing site.

An important factor here is the maximum size of the area that the gardener is willing to allocate for construction. Do not be sad if this place is not too much.

There are options on the market that can fit even in cramped living conditions:

  1. Dome - will be an excellent addition to the cottage, where there are all signs of a professional landscape design. The only downside is the high cost.
  2. Miniature - as the name implies, this option is suitable for household plots where there is a shortage of space.

Decorative design on personal plot allows you to grow flowers or vegetables at the same time, as well as transform the appearance of the site. The key to success will be right choice structure and dimensions of the greenhouse.

Choosing modern greenhouses for growing in winter

Regardless of the climatic features of the region, in winter it is necessary. It all starts with the formation of the base, the size of which depends on the characteristics of the soil.

If the depth of groundwater is insignificant, then the wooden base will completely cope with the coming cold weather. Otherwise, you need to think about a stone foundation.

In second place in terms of importance is the heating and irrigation system. Even the most perfect mechanism is not able to cope with the cold for a long time.

The following tips will help you avoid problems:

  • A heating system based on solid fuel is used if it is not possible to connect the greenhouse to central heating;
  • The irrigation system must have a closed cycle, otherwise the process of icing communications will lead to the need for an early repair;
  • The growing process in winter requires the installation of artificial lighting systems.

Constant control of humidity level, temperature background and concentration nutrients in the soil - the key to a trouble-free wintering of vegetables. If there are strong temperature fluctuations in the region, then it will not be superfluous to install a lighting, irrigation and heating system. The latter should be only on solid fuel.

What is the difference between modern polycarbonate greenhouses

For decades, glass greenhouse technology has been considered the ultimate truth. As innovative development industry, this material has been replaced by multilayer film. It is suitable for both winter and seasonal greenhouses. It is made on the basis of 3-layer polycarbonate, which allows minimal cost time and effort to get a noticeable result.
