Greenhouse made of metal pipes

This, of course, is an industrial-scale construction, but if you click on the link under the gallery, you will find very interesting and detailed information on the site, how to make a greenhouse from metal pipes.

The photo above shows a greenhouse 6 meters wide and 20 meters long with most of the structural elements for the "wedding" part. The top rail steel tubes are bent into hoops to make greenhouse ribs. This approach simplifies the design - the rib replaces two walls and two rafters. The structure uses the natural strength of the semicircle, which is easy to prepare.Due to the curvature, it "drops" the snow well enough and provides a lot of usable space under the galvanized arches. If you make it small, you will not have vertical supports to get in the way.

The photo above shows fasteners for checking and tighteningas well as the use of self-locking nuts.

This photo shows that the beams connect the upper runs together, and the diagonal spacer extends from the ridge of the piece down to the lower beams (not shown). Beams and diagonal struts connected to each otherto create 5 triangles that create a solid shell over the entire top of the ribs.

Power tools are not needed, but they make the job much easier. Your most important tool is a friend who helps keep parts in place and provides tools and hardware. This is a job for two.. You can build a greenhouse like this yourself, but it is much more complicated. Reduce time, effort and frustration, and get an assistant. Thank you, tell him now, and then thank him with fruits and vegetables.

DIY do-it-yourself greenhouse

We would like to have a traditional greenhouse, but your budget and schedule make it difficult to implement this idea? Are you confused by all the options and packaged kits on the market? Then look at an example, how to make a simple greenhouse from reinforcement for the price of four hanging flower baskets! And already this winter, you don’t have to wait for spring to try strawberries, sorrel, spinach and other goodies in the midst of a cold winter.

In this case, the frame of the greenhouse is 3.5 by 6 m, you can assemble it using fittings, rope, pipe sections and an irrigation hose. All supplies can be bought at any hardware store. If you follow the instructions that can be read on the site, the link under the gallery, then you can make your own greenhouse in a day. Forget about plastic PVC pipes, of course, it’s very convenient to assemble a frame from them, but if you want to do something truly reliable, use fittings.

How easy is it? This design does not require wood, nails or power tools. More precisely, this is called a high tunnel. You can stand right in it if your height is not higher than 180 cm. In short, 6 long pieces of reinforcement simply bend and fit into a 30-centimeter pipe driven into the ground. An irrigation hose covers the fittings to prevent the plastic (or fabric) from breaking along the uneven edges of the fitting. This structure works well in summer with shade cloth on top to cool the soil and protect plants from sunburn.

Consumables for frames are hundreds of times cheaperthan the framework for greenhouse sets, and much stronger. Be careful with the “greenhouses” that are sold online and come with frames and covers - read reviews. Many people write that they will bend in the first season.

DIY automated greenhouse

Here is an example of how to make a normal a small greenhouse made of PVC pipesbut the main feature is automated watering and temperature control system - everything is done with your own hands. The system includes sensors that will turn on the system only if necessary. Greenhouses are a unique way to grow large and healthy plants and artificially extend the growing season. Greenhouses operate using a transparent, airtight coating to trap light and moisture, creating a mini-ecosystem that is separate from the environment.

Heat is generated by both the sun's rays penetrating the greenhouse and the absorbed heat, secreted by plants during their biological processes, such as photosynthesis. This leads to a very interesting microclimate. This general idea of ​​a layer of heat-holding material explains why global warming is sometimes called the “greenhouse effect” by people who like to simplify complex climate events. If you want to try to do something like this in your greenhouse, the site has detailed instructions. Although the resource is English, but if you understand the relays and sensors, then everything is described more or less clearly. Below you can see the master class in step-by-step photos.
