How to make a greenhouse from pvc pipes

Having your own greenhouse is not only pleasant, but also beneficial, since for the present the vegetables in the supermarket are expensive, you can already have them on your table from your own site, growing them in warmth. Craftsmen came up with many ways to build a greenhouse from all sorts of materials, but now, with the advent of new technologies, hardly anyone will make such a structure from used window frames, because you can quickly, cheaply and without any troublesome make another, more reliable design. In this article we will look at how to make a greenhouse out of PVC pipes, as well as how to make a comfortable watering.

PVC greenhouse assembly

The following materials will be required to assemble the greenhouse:

1. Board five meters 2? 6 cm - 4 pcs.
2. Board four meters 2? 6 cm - 2 pcs.
3. Board four meters 2? 4 cm - 14 pcs.
4. PVC pipe six-meter O13 mm - 19 pcs.
5. Three-meter armature O10 mm - 9 pcs.
6. Durable film 6? 15.3 m.
7. Wooden rake - 61 m.
8. Plastic screed.
9. Door hinges and handles.
10. Screws (if the construction is not collapsible, then you can nails).
11. Metallic compounds (you can use those that are purchased for working with plasterboard).

Before starting work, treat all wooden parts with an antiseptic, then, on a previously prepared area, install a rectangular frame of planks, preventing it from tilting. This can be checked by pulling the thread diagonally, then fix the frame by hammering pieces of reinforcement in the corners. Mark the long side so that the installed pipes are about 50 cm apart. Cut the armature in half and hammer it into 30 cm marks on the ground.

In order not to constantly check how the rod entered the ground, make a mark on it, and hammer it until it becomes flush with the ground. Since the fittings are light and flexible, it can be problematic to hammer it, especially into the packed-up soil. If this happened in your case, then use the pipe as a sleeve, placing the hammered armature into it. As a result, you should get a "fence". You must wear plastic pipes on each rod, the length of which depends on the size of your greenhouse, and fix them with special brackets.

Attach a frame to the back of the greenhouse, to which the film will be attached. At the front, install the door. Now the greenhouse is ready.

Greenhouse made entirely of PVC

This design is more complex, but it is stronger and more reliable than the one described above, because it turns out a strong skeleton. For work, you need a special soldering iron for soldering pipes. If it is not available, then this very common device can be temporarily taken from friends or relatives.

Since such a pipe connection does not allow for disassembly, a certain sequence will be important for you. So, you have to figure out how to make a greenhouse from PVC pipes by soldering. Consider in stages the order of assembly, adhering to which it will be possible to perform the work without alterations.

1. Solder to two long pipes, which are the base, tees with an interval of 50 cm, and fasten the crosses on the ends of these pipes;
2. ? In the place where the doors will be installed, solder two more tees, which will be required to fix the pipes that act as the door frame;
3. ? Now you can solder the entire frame, from which you want to form an arch;
4. Fix the resulting arch, soldering 2 transverse pipes of the same length;
5. Measure the resulting doorway, and solder a slightly smaller door from the pipes so that it does not fit in this slightly moving construction.

It remains to cover this skeleton with a film, and the greenhouse is ready. If in the winter you do not clean the greenhouse, then take care of the internal supports, so that the pipes do not break under the snow mass.

Greenhouse sprinkler

Another feature of the greenhouse, welded and PVC pipes, is the ability to use these same pipes for irrigation, and for this you need not so much. For such a modification, install a faucet in a convenient place in the frame frame, through which water will flow into the pipes. After that, having decided in what places you will need watering, use a thin drill (you can also use a small nail, holding it in the drill chuck), drill a hole in the pipe. Turn on the water and see where the jet hits and whether its pressure is sufficient.

The more will be in the design of the holes, the less will be the pressure at the exit of the nozzle. Therefore, do not strive from the very beginning to make the holes large, because in this case, with a weak pressure of water in the water supply system, it may not reach the top.

If you do not have a well with a pump, but a common water supply, then take into account the fact that in summer, when everyone waters their gardens, the water pressure may be insufficient. So check this irrigation system under the most extreme conditions, and only then see if you need to drill holes, making them larger in diameter.
