Greenhouses "house": features and benefits

A greenhouse on a garden or summer cottage can be different: arched (with a roof-arch), multifaceted and spherical. However, the most popular among summer residents enjoys a building in the form of a house. It stands out noticeably against other analogs, differs in a number of advantages, although it also has disadvantages. Consider the features, the size of such structures and find out which greenhouse the house is better.

Greenhouse house in the conventional sense seems to be a construction in the form of a reduced copy of a house with a gable roof. Its characteristic features are initially rectangular walls of sufficient height so that the summer resident does not need to bend over during entry and work. With the advent of technology, a seemingly simple design can be special,having additional functionality.

The roof of such greenhouses may consist of one or several parts. Sometimes their number reaches 12 pcs. Obligatory attribute of such constructions are doors. The greenhouses themselves are characterized by an increased landing area. Due to the height, they have a larger internal volume.

Inside you can plant wicker plants (eg, beans, cucumbers). At the same time the construction will not be overloaded, there will be an area for plants in it. A place for greenhouses is chosen to be lit, not covered by tree branches. Despite the fact that the construction is of a closed type, it should not be installed near the carriageway, even if this corner of the site is free.

A place for greenhouses trying to choose higher. This is due to the fact that in the lowlands after the rain water can stand, and this is unacceptable. It is necessary to choose the material for the greenhouse thoroughly, otherwise it is possible to question the creation of a favorable temperature regime inside the building. The material of the frame also matters, the choice of which is directly related to the durability of the greenhouse.

Compared with analogues of other forms, such structures are able to withstand the weight load on the roof. For example, some types of material used will not break under the influence of a blizzard and heavy snowfall. Unlike arched structures, their snow will not linger on the roof. Therefore, the load on the frame will not increase. This will extend the life of greenhouses in the form of a house.

Greenhouses in the form of a house have a lot of advantages:

• They are gated buildings that protect seedlings, flowers and fruits from frost, wind, rain and hail.
• They allow you to get a harvest earlier than usual. You will be able to treat yourself to high-quality, hand-grown products.
• Such structures are permeated with sunlight. Plants in them will be strong, protected from harmful insects, rodents and poultry.
• On the market such facilities are presented in a wide range. You can choose the most convenient option for you, taking into account personal preferences and available budget.
• The functionality of the greenhouse buildings is different. You can choose the option, for example, with an opening top.This may be a model with sliding elements, the number of which you can vary as you wish.

• Such facilities look attractive. They are not cumbersome, do not contradict the concept of landscape design.
• These buildings are made from different raw materials. Depending on the monumentality of the greenhouse may be different.
• Most models are characterized by excellent airing structures. Hot air that accumulates under the ceiling comes out through open doors, air vents and open spaces of shifted ramps.
• Depending on the model, the greenhouse may be equipped with thermal drive and automatic watering. This will significantly increase the possibility of obtaining a rich harvest.
• Often, these houses are made independently of scrap materials.
• Uses unnecessary building materials, remaining after the construction of the house or cottage.

It should be noted several drawbacks of such facilities:

• Building a greenhouse in the shape of a house is somewhat more complicated than creating analogs. It will take more material and time. Foundation casting is required.
• The assembly of such a construction requires an especially careful approach. If you assemble it incorrectly, it will affect the appearance and functionality.
• They stand upright models of the house more expensive options of other forms. If you plan to buy a model of large size, its cost may be high.
• Not every coating used has sufficient bandwidth. Some types of material used under the action of sunlight can create condensate from the inside.
• Not every type of raw material is designed for substantial mechanical loads. Low-cost types of coverage deteriorate from serious shocks. Therefore it is necessary to dismantle the greenhouse.
• It is not always possible to locate a greenhouse extending from west to east in small areas in order to protect against harsh and gusty winds from the north.

Any greenhouse house will consist of two main components: the frame and sheathing material. For the framework of such buildings using metal, wood or plastic.

• Metal. Metal greenhouses are popular with summer residents because of their special strength and reliability. The weight of the structures is often small. However, such structures cannot be called durable: metal is susceptible to corrosion.
• Array An alternative to the metal frame is wood.Such a system is environmentally friendly and thorough. However, during operation, the tree will have to be protected from decay by treatment with various preparations. Otherwise, the service life of the greenhouse may be reduced.

• Plastic. Plastic as a frame material can not be called a worthy alternative to metal and wood. Its only advantage is the ease and simplicity of assembly. However, the process of operating such a design will not be long. Plastic is not designed for weight loads (for example, it can break due to extreme cold and heavy snowfall).

Polyethylene, glass and polycarbonate are used as a house covering material for houses.

• Film. The film is a budget option, through which "glaze" the greenhouse. It scatters the light, because in the building will be light. At the same time, it has more disadvantages: when heated under the sun, its quality characteristics deteriorate. The worse its quality initially, the more often it will have to be changed.
• Glass. Glazing is considered the traditional coating of greenhouses house. The glass is able to maintain a favorable microclimate inside the greenhouse.It perfectly passes the sun rays, reduces the level of heat losses. In this case, the construction of a greenhouse with such material will cost more than other analogues. The weight of the building will be more, the fragility of the glass will force to be especially neat.

• Polycarbonate. This material is gaining popularity among summer residents. With it, you can build a building quickly. Sheets have a good light-penetrating ability and an inexpensive price. Construction will not be expensive, due to the light weight of the greenhouse will not put pressure on the foundation. This is a modern type of material that exceeds glass more than 100 times in strength.

The parameters of the greenhouse depend on its own preferences, available space and financial opportunities. The average standard dimensions of a gable greenhouse are 2.5 - 3.5 m in width, from 5 to 7 m in length and 2.5 m in height in the ridge. Some species are more compact (1.5x3.5 m), and their height sometimes does not exceed 1.5 m. Such structures cannot be called comfortable and sufficient to stand there in full growth.

Other buildings are elongated (1.5 x 5, 2.6 x 6 m) or bulky (4 x 12.6 m). The optimal distance between the posts of the greenhouse should be not less than 1 m. The supports under the horse are usually located at a distance of 2.5 m.

Having decided to build a greenhouse with a house, users wonder which of them to give preference to, so that the building serves as long as possible.

There are basic selection criteria.

• First determine the material of the frame. Choose between metal and wood. Remember that the tree will periodically have to cover the composition of rot and insects.
• In the choice of coverage should look at the polycarbonate. He has a high appreciation of professional craftsmen, and this is a good indicator.
• Choose a reinforced version (with amplifier facades and arcs). He will not suffer in the event of bad weather. Pay attention to the presence of window vents.
• Glass is problematic in construction and will create a significant weight load on the frame. However, as a coating material, it is a good solution.
• Choose the option in which you can build a system of automatic irrigation and thermal drive. Polyethylene variety heat will not work.

Having decided on the choice of materials, pay attention to several nuances. This will make the choice correctly.

• Size matters. Design with insufficient height is devoid of air.It is difficult to care for tall plants and stand in full growth.
• The size of the entrance door should be sufficient for the user. In order to run off water and snow from the slope, its angle of inclination must be at least 30 degrees. The shape of the ramp is especially important.
• It is better to build a house in the form of a house with a removable roof. This is thought out at the design stage of the greenhouse. Sliding roof will allow to air it at any time convenient for you.

The market of domestic manufacturers offers a lot of options for beautiful and high-quality greenhouses house. Among the range of companies in the Russian Federation there are options worthy of purchase. For example, "Will. Delta" in the form of a house of galvanized pipe, which has 2 doors and 2 windows. In this design, removable roof.

You can look at the option "Success house" same company. At the base of the frame is galvanized steel. The coating is cellular polycarbonate. It is characterized by flexibility, fire resistance, durability. This greenhouse is easy to transport to the desired location of the site, and its assembly will not take more than a few hours.

Adopt one thing: arched greenhouses, called "Royal house" and others with the same name, are not greenhouses in the form of a house. Do not rely on the name. Of course, models in the form of an arch are more illuminated due to the roof.

However, it is the roof that determines the name of the model. It can be a gable or a broken line, with slopes of different or identical in height, integral or consisting of separate sections. However, it can never be spherical and drop-shaped. The classification clearly distributes the models in different categories.
