Greenhouse at Mitlayderu: their own hands

Any resident of the country is well aware that the greenhouse is an indispensable tool in the arsenal of any amateur gardener. After all greenhouse allows you to get vegetables that are difficult to grow in the open field. In an article titled "Is it possible to feed themselves from the kitchen garden" FORUMHOUSE already told how to use the greenhouse to get a good harvest. We continue this theme and now tell you about the greenhouse, which is referred to in the material about the construction of the original circular cellar.

NOnono__13 (FORUMHOUSE User):

This greenhouse, based on constructive Jacob Mitlaydera I did in 2015. Children found her description of the Internet and hit on the idea of ​​its construction. I became acquainted with the project, and I really liked the elaborate manufacturing techniques and carcass.

Before we move on to a description of the stages of construction, it is necessary to tell about the peculiarities of the greenhouse Mitlaydera. Unlike conventional greenhouses, in the structure proposed by US growers and an expert in the field of agriculture, effective ventilation is ensured.

Due to the roof structure, consisting of two layers - rays, the entire warm air going to top and transoms during opening extending along the ridge, is removed to the outside. Air flow through the door and (or) through a window located at the bottom. With this warm air mass is naturally displaced and solved the main problem of all greenhouse - fever inside her summer.

Due to this, in the greenhouse creates an optimum microclimate suitable for the cultivation of various crops.

Also, there is no need to install a forced ventilation system, which has a positive effect on the overall construction budget. Despite the many advantages of Galicia on Mitlayderu a little harder and a little more material consumption, greenhouse than usual to all of us of the form (for example, a simple gable or arch). At the same time, we note this dignity of American design: wind resistance and ability to withstand higher snow loads (which is important for our harsh climate).

Steps for manufacturing the greenhouse Mitlayderu

Traditionally, the production of greenhouses of this type used wood as construction going on frame technology. The frame is then covered with a special film for greenhouses (it is more durable than conventional polyethylene), where the film is laid in two layers, between which is left a gap of 50-70 mm. Thanks to the air gap (the air - an excellent thermal insulator) even in winter in a greenhouse maintained comfortable zero temperature required for plant cultivation.

Trick my greenhouse - it consists of two detachable parts: the base and the roof. The roof is made below. Below, on the slopes of the roof, secured polycarbonate. Then the roof, since polycarbonate is mounted on the base and fastened to it with screws.

On the base frame tube section went 2.5h2.5 see that increase its bearing capacity when the snow load. Manufacturing technology of greenhouses, for ease of operation and the possibility of self-production (assistant would be required only for assembly), broken down into a series of sequential steps:

• The roof and the base at the bottom is made separately from each other.
• Staining pipes roof frame and attachment to it is made of polycarbonate and the bottom, to the assembly, which is much more convenient than fussing at altitude.
• Engaging assistants required in the assembly base (1 persons about 2 hours) and when installed on the roof base (4 per 10-15 minutes).

Also, the greenhouse can not do without in the manufacture of welding and a set of tools. For illustrative purposes, the list of NOnono__13.

Table 1

For the convenience of first manufacture an assembly jig. What is it for? After all, you can assemble the structure and on the ground. In an article titled "Making bench-pasteboard own hands" Our portal has already said that the quality of home-made products is entirely dependent on the finishing operation - the precision of its assembly. The same applies to the welding.

NOnono__13

I had to cook several structures consisting of many parts, window frames 3 and 2 doors. Everywhere you need to stand right angles, and all items must be stored in the same plane. To weld it all on the ground, putting on the boards of the stand, sitting in an uncomfortable position, in fact, "on the knee"? No, this is - not my choice.

On slipway 2.1h3 m gone size 4x6 cm section of the tube. Platform height - 0.95 m (height depends on your height and is selected so that it is convenient to work). All corners of the stocks are sustained strictly at 90 degrees and the plane set by the level. In the middle of the platform is welded crossbar.

Then go to the preparation of the pipe. Before cutting and welding must be removed from the pipes all rust. To do this, we use an old and proven method - mechanical cleaning using a brush nozzle-to "grinders".

I do not like different converters of rust. LBM to work, of course, a long and tedious, but the end result is worth it. Pipes completely cleaned of rust.

On the pipes clean user spent 1.5 days. To optimize the process used such cunning - 5 tubes lie close to each other. We clean facet, passing across the surface of the "package", and then turn over the tube and clear the remaining faces etc.

Pipe welding is carried out on the stocks. First weld the base, window and door, then turn to the welding removable roof. Alkyd enamel paint pipe, primed them.

The base is going through 1 assistant. To install the roof, which has already secured a polycarbonate, NOnono__13 called assistants - 2 neighbors, and already four of them established on the basis of the roof frame, securing it with screws.

NOnono__13 advises not to use polycarbonate for fixing screws for metal with a drill, because in the process of drilling and pull the material between it and the tube clamped chips. Chips subsequently rust, leading to deterioration of the appearance of the greenhouse.

To do so - drill holes for fixing of polycarbonate. To do this, use a drill of 3.5 mm diameter. Then fasten softwood coating on 4.2 mm with a press washer. To increase the area of ​​the screw clamp (which is important for high wind loads) puts a further washer with a diameter greater than the press washer.

Also NOnono__13 It recommends that you remove the protective film from the polycarbonate before its installation. Otherwise, it will have to withdraw from the already screwed polycarbonate, and in places where the screws are tightened, remain small patches that are hard to remove.

When the renting of the film note on which side is the UV protection. So as not to scratch the surface of the sheets is better secured with the assistant.Polycarbonate mount honeycomb upwards, while the resulting condensate flows down inside.

After installation of the frame edged boards 15h2.5 see made beds. And in the end secured the rest of the polycarbonate: on the horizontal wall and the ends of the base, on the transverse bulkhead at the door and the ends of the roof.

The result was a greenhouse in the following sizes.

For two seasons greenhouse operation without selling snow. Make additional ventilation is not necessary. Vegetables grow well. The main plus of this teplitsy- if necessary, you can leave for 10 days, and even in the heat of plants did not happen.

You can also repair the polycarbonate. It is enough to unscrew the bolts and remove the roof and replace the cover below. In conclusion, the article provides estimates of the numbers.

• In materials for greenhouse and irrigation system (pipe, bolts, electrodes, paint, screws, boards, fittings, pipe PP, thermometers, timers, etc.) took 36734 Ruble.
• The cost of consumables (cutting, grinding wheels, gloves, etc.) - 625 rubles.

Total - 37359 rubles.
