How to cover a greenhouse with a film with your own hands. Greenhouses for summer cottages and gardens: designs, materials How to wrap a greenhouse frame with a film

What is there to think! - you can answer. - I'll go to hardware store, buy a film, and that's it! Hmm, which one exactly?

Full transparency

There are many types of film now. I will not dwell on ordinary polyethylene: everyone knows it. An excellent inexpensive material, suitable for both small shelters and huge greenhouses ... However, only new for now. Some films and the season do not stand up! So the garbage dumps around all the gardens are covered with dirty rags, polyethylene decomposes extremely badly. Maybe, after all, look for a film a little more expensive, but better, so that it can serve at least a few years?

I have an idea!

So, what can the industry offer us, summer residents?

1. Reinforced films in which a synthetic mesh is fused into polyethylene. Of course, it is much stronger than usual: it can be pulled over a large greenhouse and not be afraid of either wind or hail. The only "but" - in the foreground for such films is not mechanical strength, but resistance to solar radiation. The worst samples crumble into dust after 2-3 seasons. Apparently, this is why the data on the durability of the reinforced film differ: from 2 to 7 years.

2. Polyethylene films with additives. Their range is very large, but not all supplements are "equally useful," as they say in advertising. Definitely valuable - the introduction of stabilizers into the composition of the material, which protect polyethylene from destructive action sun rays. Such films, although noticeably more expensive than usual, serve many times longer than it (3 years or more). Most often they are pinkish or orange in color, but this is not necessary.

A more complex, but also very useful component of modern films is the phosphor additive. It converts part of the sun's rays from the ultraviolet spectrum into more useful red for plants and infrared radiation. As a result, the processes of photosynthesis in plants are more active, and the yield increases markedly. Such films are called light-transforming. But, when purchasing one, do not forget that it must also be stabilized, otherwise all its advantages will not please you for long.

3. Bubble polyethylene film. We usually meet with her when unpacking something fragile. But such a film is also produced for greenhouse purposes: after all, it transmits enough light, and in terms of outstanding thermal insulation properties, only thick polycarbonate can be compared with it. I think that a small greenhouse or recessed warm bed, covered with bubble wrap, will be useful to every gardener to get the earliest greenery, as well as seedlings of cabbage, lettuce, asters and other cold-resistant crops. Although it is hardly possible to seriously talk about its durability (with the exception of special varieties).

Unfortunately, some unscrupulous manufacturers simply tint the film and pass it off as stabilized. Before purchasing, we advise you to ask the seller for a certificate of conformity for the goods, as well as to study the reputation of the manufacturer in advance.

4. Non-PE films (PVC and others). In my opinion, this is one of the best options. As a rule, they are "rubber" to the touch and have a yellowish or pinkish tint. The strength and durability of these films is beyond praise! I know cases when they kept for 6 years or more without being removed from the greenhouse, and it even happened that the greenhouse itself fell under the weight of snow, and the film - at least henna. Yes, and with stabilizing and light-transforming additives for such films, everything is usually in order. The only downside is the price.

Stress Protection

Or maybe it’s better to replace the film with a non-woven covering material altogether? It is needed both in summer and in winter, and it serves quite a decent time - savings, however!

Nonwovens, of course, have a lot of advantages. They "breathe" and pass moisture well, the plants under them do not overheat. "Non-woven fabric" (especially thick, 40 g / m 2 or more) has better thermal insulation properties than a film, and allows you to more reliably protect plants from frost. Well, and thin (17-40 g / m 2) - although not so warm, it is light, and it can be placed on plants even without a frame. But, alas, from experience, non-woven materials are still more of a material for temporary (including winter) shelters, and not for long-term growing plants. Summer residents of central Russia, who tried to cover stationary greenhouses with them (of course, we are talking about dense varieties of "non-woven fabric" - the thinnest one is not strong enough for this), faced with the fact that their favorite tomato cucumbers are pretty lacking in light. The advantages of non-woven materials in hotbeds and greenhouses were truly appreciated only by the southerners, who have nowhere to put the sun. But this does not mean at all that they are not needed: a stock of "non-woven fabric" to protect the garden from spring frosts, "safety net" for sowing and planting seedlings, as well as for sheltering capricious plants for the winter is worth having for every summer resident.

On a note

Marking secrets (GOST 10354-82)

M- durable film used for the manufacture of transport bags and other packaging.

T- film for the manufacture of technical products, protective shelters, packaging;

ST- dyed or unpainted, stabilized film for greenhouses, greenhouses and other agricultural facilities;

SIC- a stabilized film with an IR radiation adsorbent for covering greenhouses and other agricultural structures, providing an increased greenhouse effect;

CM- for mulching and other similar purposes; uncolored, carbon black-stabilized film (dark);

B, B1- special films for use in land reclamation and water management construction;

SC- film for use in the preservation of feed, etc.; unstabilized;

H- film for the manufacture of packaging and household products; dyed or undyed, stabilized or unstabilised.

It is easy to see that films labeled ST, SIK and separate - N are suitable for greenhouses and greenhouses.

A good harvest of agricultural crops can only be achieved by creating comfortable conditions for growing plants. Many summer residents grow plantings in greenhouses and hotbeds for this. A plant grown under such conditions is affected by many factors. Of no small importance is the material with which the greenhouse is covered. Therefore, many gardeners are concerned about the question: "How to cover the greenhouse?" Just about this and will be discussed Further.

Types of coatings for greenhouses

How to cover a greenhouse for growing crops in artificial conditions? The range of covering material is diverse. The most popular shelters are:

• glass;
• film;
• polycarbonate.

How to cover the greenhouse - with a film, or other material, each gardener must decide for himself, based on a number of specific conditions.

Greenhouse glazing

Glass for covering greenhouses has been used since ancient times. This is fully justified, as it has many positive properties:

• high throughput light, accounting for 94%.
• Long service life.
• Resistant to temperature extremes.
• High thermal insulation qualities.
• Resistant to chemicals, abrasives and detergents.

But in addition to the positive qualities, glass has a number of disadvantages, due to which many gardeners have refused to use it. Among them:

• The need to create a strong frame, because the fragile base is not able to withstand the material.
• Significant material investment.
• Brittleness of the material.
• penetration of ultraviolet rays.

The very procedure for covering the greenhouse with glass requires certain knowledge and is quite complicated. Not every gardener is able to glaze a greenhouse on his own, without resorting to the help of specialists.

For greenhouse glazing, you should choose absolutely smooth, clear glass. Its thickness must be at least 4 mm. Translucency directly depends on the width of the frames: the larger they are, the Better conditions created for plants. When choosing the width of the frame, the fragility of the glass should also be taken into account. On a large glazing surface, it will be much higher. If the glass is damaged, repairing the greenhouse will cost more than when using other materials.

Film application

How to cover the greenhouse so that the plants feel as comfortable as possible? Film is one of the most common and cheapest materials. The greenhouses covered with it turn out to be practical. However, this coating has a short service life.

Often with inside film collects condensate, which creates favorable conditions to spread various diseases, bacteria and dirt unsafe for crops. Despite this, the film transmits and scatters light well, but only as long as its structure is not broken.
Despite the obvious disadvantages of covering material, gardeners do not stop using it. Three types of film are popular, these are:

• polyethylene;
• polyvinyl chloride;
• reinforced.

The first is the cheapest, but very short-lived. It's enough for the season. The second one is more expensive. With proper care, it will last up to 7 years. The service life of the third film is three years. How to cover the greenhouse with a film with your own hands will be written later in the article.

Covering the greenhouse with foil

Before you cover the greenhouse with a film, you need to calculate the amount of material. To do this, measure overall length frame structure and divided by the width of the film. Ten percent around the entire perimeter is added to cover the material and fasten it. The number of canvases is multiplied by their length - and the desired length of the material is obtained. We should not forget about the ends, the size of which must be added to the calculated figure.

How to properly cover the greenhouse with a film? This is easy to do if you follow certain rules:

• The material should not be cut in advance. First you need to transfer the roll through the greenhouse, stretch the film and add about 25 cm on each side to fix the shelter. Only then can the canvas be cut. So you should cut all the canvases.
• The film is laid on a flat surface and the sheets are glued with transparent tape on both sides.
• Details for the ends of the building, doors and vents are cut out with allowances for fastening.
• To avoid sagging and strong tension of the covering material, it is mounted in moderately warm weather. There should not be strong winds outside.
• For a longer operation of the canvas, the greenhouse is covered shortly before planting plants in it.

From the cut parts make the frame of the greenhouse. They put it on the structure and fix it at the base. The reinforced film is pressed down with a bar, and covered with earth from above. The polyethylene film glued with adhesive tape is stretched onto the frame. The edges of the canvas are stretched, a long rail is placed on top and fixed with nails. After the main part of the structure is covered, the ends, the door and the vents are mounted. All joints are connected with adhesive tape. If the greenhouse is made of plastic and metal tubes, then the material is attached to it with clamps of the appropriate diameter.

Application of polycarbonate

Polycarbonate is the most popular greenhouse material. It is a hard plastic. It is stronger than glass but weighs less. It happens monolithic and cellular. The latter is considered the most suitable for greenhouses. It is characterized by high thermal insulation and light transmission. Has a long service life.

The advantages of cellular carbonate include:

• strength;
• full lighting of greenhouses;
• flexibility;
• light weight;
• long service life (up to 20 years).

Thanks to positive qualities material for many gardeners, the question always arises of how to cover the greenhouse with polycarbonate with your own hands.

Experts advise not to rush and carefully read all the features of the material. Pay attention to the value of thickness. I advise you to take sheets with a thickness of 5 to 8 mm.

Before using honeycomb carbonate, attention should be paid to the fact that, when heated, it lengthens. A six-meter sheet, when heated, increases by 5 cm in length and 2 cm in width. Therefore, the greenhouse should be covered at a temperature of at least +10 ° C, while the polycarbonate blocks are mounted with an overlap.

How to properly cover a greenhouse with polycarbonate?

Standard polycarbonate canvases have a width of 2.1 m and a length of 6 or 12 m. All dimensions of the gables of the frame are transferred to the material, and then all the details are carefully cut out with an electric jigsaw. Sometimes the question arises which side of the polycarbonate to cover the greenhouse. During installation, the sheets are laid only with the correct side, outward, vertically. Otherwise, the throughput of light will drop, which will affect the cultivation of crops in the future.

After all the details are cut out, the greenhouse is installed, which is divided into:

• point;
• profile.

At spot mounting the material is attached directly to the frame by using thermal washers. Holes are drilled at the attachment points. Polycarbonate is applied to the frame and secured with self-tapping screws. Upon completion of installation, all ends are closed with an end profile using thermal insulation tape.

At profile method sheets are inserted into special profiles for carbonate and pulled through. Holes are drilled for self-tapping screws, with which the covering material is fixed. The rafters are glued with thermal tape.

Spunbond

One of the popular materials for greenhouses is spunbond. it nonwoven fabric, consisting of polymeric extruded fibers. It is ideal for sheltering greenhouses. Allows light to pass through and provides free access to air, uniform distribution both moisture and heat. Helps maintain a stable microclimate. It is characterized by optimal thermal insulation properties. Practical and durable. frost resistant, chemicals and the influence of bacteria and mold. Safe for plants. Can be used all year round.

This material is of three types:

• for open ground;
• for sheltering greenhouses or greenhouses;
• for soil mulching.

The first two types are White color, the last one is black. Spunbond for sheltering greenhouses has a density of 30-60 g/sq. m.

Working with Aerofilament

Much has already been said about how to cover the greenhouse with your own hands. The installation of aero fiber (spunbond) is similar in technology to the shelter of a greenhouse plastic wrap. In addition, there are some tricks when using non-woven material:

• Sewing in the center of the web a strip of fabric that has ropes for tying the covering material to the frame of the greenhouse. This greatly facilitates the installation of spunbond.
• To make the canvas fit tighter, it should be upholstered on the outside with thin wooden slats.
• The material can be combined with PET film. Some gardeners make only a roof from aerofibre, others design inserts of a certain width and through a given distance.
• If the greenhouse is arched, then it is not necessary to remove the airfiber for the winter.
• Spunbond, unsuitable for sheltering a greenhouse, can be used to protect plants in winter time of the year.

Non-woven material will provide plants with proper ventilation and watering, and if used for mulching, there will be no need to weed the plants. Spunbond also helps maintain a constant temperature in the greenhouse and regulates atmospheric humidity. Accelerates the ripening of fruits in the greenhouse and makes the growing season of crops longer.

Unpopular Covers

In addition to the above materials for the greenhouse, gardeners use other canvases that have certain properties:

• Acrylic (plexiglass). Differs in special durability. Most preferred for the northern regions. Has a high cost.
• Polyvinyl chloride. Represents corrugated sheets. They are transparent and therefore transmit light well. Prevent the penetration of ultraviolet rays.
• Fiberglass. Produced from special It is reinforced. It has low thermal conductivity, as a result of which it retains daytime heat throughout the night.

Each of the above shelters has its pros and cons. What is better to choose - it's up to the owner of the greenhouse to decide.

Before buying a covering material, you should take into account all the nuances of the paintings, ask what better material suitable for certain conditions. The following factors must be taken into account:

• shelter area;
• climatic conditions of the area in which the greenhouse will be located;
• the period of operation of the structure;
• crops to be grown in the facility;
• the amount of money allocated for the arrangement of the greenhouse;
• the purpose of the building;
• installation complexity.

When choosing a greenhouse, a gardener can also rely on other factors that are important to him.

Conclusion

What is the best way to cover the greenhouse? If it will serve year-round, then it should be covered thoroughly. Glass, polycarbonate or acrylic is suitable here. For growing seedlings, film or spunbond will be very useful.

It is important not only to choose right stuff to shelter the greenhouse, but also to properly care for it. Timely implementation minor repairs. If the greenhouse is not planned to be used, then the covering material should be removed. It must be stored in a dry and ventilated area.

It should always be remembered that right choice covering material will provide proper conditions for the growth and fruiting of crops, in every possible way will contribute to the collection of a rich harvest, which will more than pay off all investments.

Hello! We have a simple greenhouse in our dacha, we built it with our own hands together with our father-in-law. We attached the film to the frame, everything was holding, we went home. We arrive next weekend, and the coating was torn off by the wind. Tell me how to properly attach the film and which film is better to choose so that it does not tear off and that it stands until the end of the season. Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon! Thanks for the question.

If you are making a cover for a simple greenhouse with your own hands and want it to last at least one season, you need to choose the right film. It should be dense and strong, at least 150 microns thick. Preference should be given to light stabilized material intended for use in continuous solar lighting. If the film does not have stabilization, then it can become cracked in a month. When constructing a roof, a second layer of material can be used, because rains create an accumulation of water at the joints of the structure.

Attach the film cover to wooden frame preferably self-tapping screws, building buttons or small nails with large hats. The first two options are preferred for the so-called collapsible greenhouses, which are stored away for the winter.

If in the manufacture of the base of the greenhouse were not used wooden bars, and PVC pipes mounted on reinforcement rods (arched summer greenhouses are made using this technology), then the film is fixed with special brackets. Strengthen the reliability of the design allow wooden slats holding the coating at the base of the greenhouse.

If by the end of the season the material has retained its performance characteristics, then it can be used next year. In autumn, the film coating should be carefully removed, washed and dried. If the film is not a solid sheet that completely covers the greenhouse, but a collection of individual fragments for each structural element, then it is advisable to sign each piece when removed from the frame. Otherwise, in the spring it will take a long time to guess for which structural element this or that fragment of the film was intended.

The main task for fastening the film is simple - to fix it so that it is not blown away by the wind. But more and more often summer residents are interested in "safe" methods of fastening, without the need to pierce the film with nails.
The article will describe 5 ways to attach the film to the greenhouse without having to punch the film.

Rail (an option for a frame made of wood).

In this method, you can use wooden slats (glazing beads for windows are not recommended) with nails or self-tapping screws, or even better, packing tape fastened with staples from a construction stapler.

As an option, cut a tape from old linoleum or from any other strong material.

For many, this is the worst way cover the greenhouse - after all, you have to spoil the film. Such a film does not live for a long time, a couple of seasons at most. Well, if you nail cheap film, but nailing durable expensive film for a couple of seasons is stupid, especially if there are safer ways.

Although the reinforced film for the greenhouse is not afraid of breakthroughs from nails.

Rail nailed on the ends

If in the first method the film is fixed to the frame of the greenhouse both on the sides and to the roof rafters, in this method the film is fixed only on the ends of the greenhouse. How exactly - in the photo below.
If the film is not reinforced, then it is very often torn on nails (from the wind). This method reduces damage to the film and the chance that the wind will tear the film.

Clamps, clips (option for a frame made of PVC pipes, fittings)

How to fix the film on the greenhouse from plastic pipes? You can fix the film on the greenhouse using special clips. Such clips can be found in the store, their price is not too expensive.

But if it was not possible to buy clamps, then they can be made independently from the same plastic pipes. The process is not very complicated. To do this, you need to cut the tubes and cut into them side part. To attach the film to pvc pipe you will have to experiment a little with the size of the cutout in the clip. It is better to grind the edges of the clips, otherwise they may tear the film. An example of such a PVC greenhouse with latches is described here.
Any material is placed under the metal clips that will prevent the metal overheated in the sun from spoiling the film.
Some originals secure film with clerical clips. If the frame allows, then why not.

Greenhouse Film Fixing System

This fixation system consists of 2 parts - a PVC clip (resistant to UV radiation) and a galvanized (aluminum) profile. I think the principle of its operation is clear - PFH snaps into the profile along with the film, without any damage to the material. Mount the system on roofs, side walls and ends.

Another option is double clips for attaching the film to the aluminum profile.
Of all the ways to attach the film to the greenhouse, this is the easiest in terms of mounting and dismantling the film.

Grid

Most safe way fixing the film to the greenhouse. First, the greenhouse needs to be covered with a film, and on top of it is a mesh, the mesh itself is tied to the body.
In this case, the film is not damaged in any way, but there is one drawback - you will have to stretch the film more often, especially after rain and if there is no additional fastening.

Rope, harness, elastic cord

Almost the same as in the case of the greenhouse mesh, but instead of it, a polypropylene cord or elastic cord is used. Moreover, you need to tie up the greenhouse in the form of Z (between two parallel cords - one diagonally).

Eyelets and elastic cord

A rather specific method, and therefore I will describe it in passing. Eyelets are a hole in the film reinforced with metal or plastic ring. It is not suitable for ordinary film, only for strong and preferably with the addition of a cuff that will prevent the eyelet from breaking through the material.

If you have your interesting examples attaching the film to the greenhouse - share with them in the comments.

The climate in Russia is quite cool even in summer period. grow on own site a rich harvest of vegetables is possible using greenhouses from arcs with covering material. This is about middle lane Russian Federation, Volga region, Central region and Northwest Central Region. What to make arcs for such a greenhouse, and what covering material to use?

Positive traits

Shelters have a number of advantages that make their use simple and long-term. This is due to their portability, light weight and installation that anyone can handle. A greenhouse can be purchased as a ready-made kit or made independently, whether it be with arcs or not. It is used both for growing heat-loving crops in regions with temperate climate, and as a temporary shelter when planting seedlings in open ground.

Characteristic

A greenhouse under arcs with covering material can be purchased as a ready-made kit or assembled by yourself. When deciding to create a structure yourself, you should know a number of features. The arched greenhouse can have any height and width. The optimal width is a distance of 0.6 to 1.2 m. It is directly proportional to the height. Often the width and height are made the same - 1 m. Before installation, you should accurately determine the type of vegetables grown and their height, the installation site of the structure. A greenhouse made of arcs looks like in the photo.

Important! The greenhouse can be collapsible or installed on a foundation, with a service life of several years.

Material used

Arcs under the greenhouse are not installed further than 1 m from each other. It is worth considering that the collapsible design has less strength. By reducing the distance between the arcs for a greenhouse in St. Petersburg, you can make it more stable and strong. The size of the arc for the planned greenhouse depends on the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room. When making arcs for a greenhouse with your own hands, you need to take into account the material used at home:

• tree branches;
• aluminum profile;
• heating pipes;
• hose and wire;
• plastic or metal pipes.

The choice of material from which do-it-yourself arcs for a greenhouse will be made remains with the owner.

Having chosen tree branches, it is worthwhile to understand that such a greenhouse made of arcs with covering material will reliably last no more than a season. The branches are interconnected and firmly fixed, they can be combined with a used hose. The bark is not removed from them. When choosing strong long branches, the structure can turn out without an arched vault, rectangular.

Important! Aluminum profile will help to create a solid and reliable design that will last more than one year.

Arcs are fastened with nuts or bolts. Such a frame is lightweight, easy to attach the covering material. The disadvantage is the relatively high cost of the material.

It is easy to assemble a frame from pipes using factory couplings and fastening systems designed for them. Curvature can be a problem metal pipe for the purpose of using it as an arc on a greenhouse, which is used to fix the covering material. For this you need to have special equipment. The use of plastic blanks is much easier. They bend easily and give the frame the desired strength. The main thing is to properly fix them to the ground, using special stakes from half a meter long, made of metal or wood. The pipe is put on the resulting peg. If you try to drive plastic arcs for a greenhouse into the ground, they can be damaged or split. The larger the diameter of the pipe, the more reliable the design will be. In the presence of a wooden box, a plastic pipe can be fixed with a metal bracket to a tree.

The flexibility of plastic is also badly reflected in the strength of the structure. The plastic arc used for the greenhouse bends easily when pressed or carelessly handled. The door is best made using a wooden box, as this part is most often used. To facilitate the operation of a prefabricated greenhouse on arcs with covering material, it is used completely wooden box, to which plastic arcs for the greenhouse are attached. The use of a metal arc for a greenhouse in a PVC sheath occurs in a similar way.

Important! Making a metal frame will be difficult.

The availability of welding equipment will be one of the main conditions. Difficulties will also arise when bending the metal. It is easier to cut it and, fixing it by welding, give it the desired shape, getting a metal arc for a greenhouse in a PVC sheath.

Metal carcass often installed on a finished foundation, in which fasteners are left. You will need rods, long for the entire length of the greenhouse, and short, for making arcs. A greenhouse made of metal arcs with a covering material will be the most durable and reliable.

Greenhouse material

Covering material for a high greenhouse made of arcs must meet a number of requirements:

• be translucent;
• protect against temperature fluctuations;
• differ in strength.

The choice is made between materials:

• film coating (PVC or reinforced film);
• nonwoven material;
• polycarbonate.

The film coating for a greenhouse made of arcs with a covering material differs in its characteristics and price. Plain PVC film is inexpensive. It transmits enough light, withstands large temperature fluctuations. This material is harmless to environment, does not emit toxins that settle in the soil. Its service life is not more than one year. The disadvantage of using a film coating will be the creation of condensate inside the greenhouse, preventing the penetration of moisture and fresh air. Reinforced film has greater strength, which provides more long term use. However, it transmits light 30% less than usual, and it is also expensive. This makes it of little use for greenhouses.

Nonwovens are getting more and more popular. One of them is spunbond. It lets exactly that much heat into the greenhouse. To keep the plant comfortable, preventing it from overheating or burning out in too much sun. The ability to pass water and air makes the atmosphere inside the greenhouse with the covering material most favorable for growing, and even allows watering from above. Spunbond comes in handy to prevent crop loss due to invading birds or insects. It won't warp or crack and will last for several seasons. However, he is not able to protect the crop from excess rain. Often there is a need to additionally cover the greenhouse from above with another material - moisture-proof. The fastening of such material is similar to the fastening of the film.

Polycarbonate is often used as a covering material. It has a long service life. Its thermal insulation ability depends on the density of the material. It transmits light very well. Light weight and design ensures ease of installation. However, the cost of such material is expensive.

Important! Over time, polycarbonate, exposed to the sun and water, may crack.

Film fastening methods

There are many ways to securely fasten the film. The easiest way is with a wooden greenhouse, to which it is nailed, having previously wrapped around a special plank in several layers. This will prevent damage to the material. The metal frame should be wrapped with a white cloth or wrapped with pieces of old hoses, as it is exposed to temperatures and gets very hot. You can make holes in the metal and fix the film on the screws. stretched film strengthen with a cord or fishing line, which is attached with a small step from the inside and outside of the greenhouse. The arcs of plastic pipes are simply covered with a film and fixed on top in several places with a cut pipe of a slightly larger diameter. The main thing is to make the edges smooth so that they do not tear the film. On sale there are special clips for the film, which will facilitate the fastening of the covering material to the arcs of the greenhouse.

When installing from polycarbonate, it is worth protecting the ends of the sheet special devices or self-adhesive tape. Do not forget about the holes for the condensate outlet, which must be left.

Polycarbonate is attached to a metal frame using special self-tapping screws or a thermal washer. Their use will protect the shelter from the penetration of air through the attachment point. Considering that polycarbonate can expand when exposed to heat, it is not fixed very firmly, leaving room for movement. In places where the material contacts the metal, the frame is wrapped with thermal film.

What type of covering material to choose is up to the user. PVC film is the most budget option. The use of glass and polycarbonate will be more expensive, but their service life is much longer. Non-woven fiber will ensure the maintenance of a favorable microclimate in the greenhouse. Its use will allow you to rarely visit the garden and is ideal for summer residents who visit the site by accident. In addition, temporary shelters for seedlings are easier to make from a film.

Ready kits for a greenhouse

There are a number of ready-made greenhouses with sewn-in arcs of mass production. The convenience of their acquisition lies in the ease of installation and the presence detailed instructions. There is no need to search for components and their connection. Most popular models:

Dayas

It uses sewn-in covering material and arcs made of polymer 0.20 cm thick. The length of the arc for a greenhouse is from 4 to 6 m. Special legs serve as fastening to the ground of the structure. Appearance a greenhouse made of arcs sheathed with covering material is shown in the photo.

Snowdrop

PVC arches make the greenhouse strong enough. The length of the arc for shelter can reach 8 m. The ready-made kit contains both legs and clamping clips.

cucumber

has a design from a galvanized profile. The kit includes PVC film, screws, nuts for fastening, fixing rails, cords for fixing the film. This greenhouse can be called the highest among greenhouses made of arcs with the use of covering material.

The websites of companies producing greenhouses from arcs with covering material give detailed information about assembling models, including a detailed video.

Except ready-made kits for a greenhouse, you can purchase individual items. So, the arcs used for shelter can not be made by yourself, but taken as a kit anywhere in the country.
