GREENHOUSE "SNOWDROP": DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION FEATURES

With the onset of spring, the main concern of gardeners is to save grown seedlings after planting in open ground. To solve this problem are best suited lungs and mobile greenhouses, reliably protect seedlings from adverse external factors. They are easy to place in any convenient location of the site.
One of these compact and lightweight greenhouse models is "Snowdrop". Compared to other similar models, it is distinguished by the use of modern materials, ease of operation, well-thought-out design reliability. Therefore, this model is the best suited for increasing the efficiency of farming in the garden plot.

Design features

Frame This greenhouse model is made of polymer arches. The covering material is attached to the arches with stitched pocketsthat gives the whole structure a big reliability.

The product is already obtained ready to usebecause to start operation, it is enough to remove it from the package and place it in the right place of the site.

Arcs of the frame are supplied with pegs 250 mm long., Allowing to securely fix the greenhouse on the ground, while no foundation needed. With the end parts of the covering material has an adequate supply to use it as a kind of stretching, strengthening the structure.

Important: When assembling a greenhouse, one should take into account the fact that its design has a large sail area. With a small weight the product can derail strong gust of wind. Therefore, you should pay particular attention to his careful fastening on the ground. If necessary, measures should be taken to secure covering fabric on the ground not only from the end sides.

Greenhouse "Snowdrop" - dimensions and factory specifications

The greenhouse plant construction is designed for a weatherproof shelter for two or three beds, since the width of the sheltered space is 1.2 m. The length of the frame, depending on the number of arcs included in the set, can be 4, 6 or 8 meters. The height of this greenhouse is about 1 m., But this circumstance is quite does not interfere with watering and weeding seedlingsbecause The covering material fixed on the arcs easily slides along them, both along the guides and fixed with the help of special clips and with the help of simple clothespins.

As the material of the frame is used pipe mon (low pressure polyethylene) with a diameter of 20 mm. This environmentally friendly material does not corrode and has sufficient strength. Pegs and clips included in the kit are also made of polymer.

As a greenhouse cover in this model, non-woven material "SUF-42" is used. It contains a UV stabilizer, due to which the term product service increases up to several agricultural seasons. At the same time, unlike the film covering materials, this material has air and moisture permeability, which saves seedlings from sudden temperature changes.

Putting greenhouse yourself

The simplicity of the design allows you to make a greenhouse "Snowdrop" with your own hands. The need for this may occur, for example, if the owner of the site decides to make a greenhouse with convenient dimensions (length, height, width). At the same time for the manufacture of a greenhouse, you can use a variety of materials.

Any materials can be used as a frame., which can give the form of arches, and having sufficient strength. Currently, manufacturers offer a large selection of plumbing and heating pipes made of polypropylene, pvc, polyethylene, including low pressure polyethylene (MPD). Greenhouses are also made of these materials in the factory. For independent production, you should choose pipes with a diameter of about 20 mm. For the manufacture of the frame, you can use fiberglass reinforcement, which in recent times is often used instead of metal. It has high elasticity and durability. Metal reinforcement can also be used to make a greenhouse frame.
To cover the greenhouse, you must purchase agrofibre any reliable manufacturer, the optimum density is 42.

Important: When buying agrofibre, consider it width. It can be from 1.6 to 3.5 meters. With a greenhouse height of about 1 m., A width of 2.1 m will be sufficient. If necessary, two cloths of fabric can be sewn along the sewing machine.

The greenhouse assembly procedure is simple. First, from the frame material bend arc which are attached to the ground at a distance of 1 m from each other. Can be used for attaching to the ground pegs (for example, wood), which are inserted into the ends of the tubes.

Another option would be to drive pieces into the ground. fittings suitable length and subsequent fitting of tube ends to the reinforcement. If reinforcement is used as a frame, it can be simply inserted into the ground to a sufficient depth.

To give the whole structure greater reliability can build a light base from wooden bars or boards, while the arc will be attached to the ground from the inside along the sides of the base. At the same time, they can be pulled to the base with collars using screws.

After the frame is installed, it covered with covering material. In its simplest form, the material simply covers the frame from above and, if necessary, is attached to it with clips or underwear clothespins. However, much more expedient spend some time and to make on the cover pocketsstitching folds on a sewing machine. In this case, the greenhouse will be easy to assemble and disassemble for storage, and its design will practically not differ from the factory one.

Thus, if necessary, the owner of the site can make a greenhouse of the “Snowdrop” model independently from commercially available materials or available materials. it will save any seedlings from death, whether it is any vegetables, ornamental plants or flowers.
