Rich harvest under the wings of the Butterfly greenhouse

In appearance Greenhouse "Butterfly" really looks like a butterfly with wings open. And when closed, it is very similar to a cocoon, inside which the desired temperature and microclimate are maintained.

This is a convenient building, which is being built in a short time, and you can disassemble it quickly and without any special effort.

Specifications

Very greenhouse good for growing seedlings. This is possible due to the presence in it of a small amount of land. The soil warms up very quickly, so the seedlings grow much faster.

Common product sizes look like this:

1. Height - 1.5 meters
2. Length with greenhouse width - 1.25 meters
3. Area - 5 square meters. meters
4. Weight - 26 kg.

Virtues

Benefits this garden building quite a lot:

1. Long service life: about ten years.
2. Convenient access to plants. The entrance to the inside can be done from two sides, so you can easily get through to even the farthest corner.
3. Vents allow continuous ventilation.
4. Cellular polycarbonate used for the construction of buildings serves as a reliable seedling protection from temperature extremes and ultraviolet radiation.
5. The model is practical, lightweight, high strength and flexibility. She is very reliable: easily withstands a ten-centimeter layer of snow and strong gusts of wind and will easily endure even the most severe winter.
6. The design is easy to disassemble, if necessary.
7. Compactness allows you to transport the greenhouse "Butterfly" even on an ordinary passenger car.
8. Its installation is quite simple and does not require the buildings foundation.

Frame making
The design may have different sizesand not just the standard ones discussed above. But the materials for its construction remain the same. In particular, the frame will be metal-plastic or just plastic profiles.

There are frames solidmay consist of several sections.

Covering material Greenhouse "Butterfly" is made from cell polycarbonate. In rare cases, polyethylene is used.

What plants are suitable for growing?
Since the model is easy to use, it can be used for growing seedlings, flowers, vegetables and even melon crops. Moreover, year-round.

On warm summer days, it's best to keep her open. But when the onset of cold weather will have to take care of the plants planted in it. When closing, the inside is retained for planting. Greenhouse effect. It allows in the autumn period to prolong the fruiting period for the vegetables, and in the spring - to start planting them a couple of weeks ahead of time.

If the greenhouse is built with high quality, then inside it you can grow not only all kinds of seedlings, but also pepper, cabbage and even cucumbers with tomatoes

disadvantages

The "Butterfly", like any such product, has its drawbacks. If we talk about serial-produced models, we can note the following minuses:

1. The colorful coating of the frame is almost never quality. Paint is not uncommon exfoliatewhen the tape is removed or the bolts are clamped during assembly.
2. In the holes are often found burrs. To eliminate them, you have to arm yourself with a file and do it manually.
3. Often in the instructions you can find advice on replacing the cellular polycarbonate film. But this is an unequal replacement. Polycarbonate - more durable. He is able in the lower position to rely on the large arc of the building and its lower trim. But film on this clearly no good.
4. Aligning the serially-produced model to the desired size is not easy. For this you need to have solid experience in the construction of such structures. Clearances can stay somewhere wider, somewhere narrow. Uncomfortable and hinges. They small size, besides, they do not hold well and can straighten.
5. Despite the fact that the purchased design is quite compact and easily transferred from place to place, if necessary, you have to spend time on joint sealing. And it will also require a certain amount of special silicone sealant.

Do-it-yourself greenhouse construction "Butterfly"

First of all, to install the model you need to choose appropriate place. Ideal if the structure will be located from North to South. Then the efficiency of its work will be maximum and will provide a decent harvest.

You cannot choose low places where melt waters abundantly accumulate. In the lowest places water may protrude from the ground. Crop grown in a humid microclimate does not grow well, and then dies quickly. rots.

You can not put a greenhouse in windy places.

Place should be selected in advance, long before the assembly. Surface leveledwhere there will be a "butterfly". It does not require a foundation, but the base for reliability you can do from wood or concrete. Before starting work, you need to prepare everything you need.

As frame recommended to use metal or tree. In the second case, the suitable material is pine. In the first, preference is given to metal pipes of small diameter. For plating is chosen polycarbonate with a sunscreen. In the case when the frame is supposed to be made of metal, prepare in advance the drill, welding machine, hammer and circular saw.

Greenhouse drawing - a mandatory step to create a greenhouse with your own hands.

For competent construction will be required preliminary calculations. This should be done, given size, prices and materials used. As a rule, standard model sizes are suitable for any area. But, if we are talking about growing large plants, the size can be increased. The most common height is a meter or one and a half.

If the greenhouse is constructed for a short time, the drawing is best done simple, suggesting quick disassembly. If necessary, lighting and heating projects are created separately.

Build a greenhouse "Butterfly"
When the place is chosen, and materials with tools are picked up, it is possible to begin construction.

1. Prepare the plot. Remove all rubbish from it and remove the top layer of soil.
2. To greenhouse stood firmly, it is best to build foundation. To do this, dig a trench, waterproofing is laid in it, the corners are reinforced and filled with a solution of sand and cement. Then laid out the base of red brick.
3. Install frame. If it is metallic, welding or bolting of its components is used. The frame, covered with anti-corrosion agent, is fixed on the base of the base. In the case when wood was used for its construction, it should be treated with antiseptic and varnished. The frame should have a central beam to fasten the hinges on which the butterfly wings are put on - a necessary part of the greenhouse.
4. Cellular polycarbonate is cut using a circular saw and attached to the frame. For this purpose, self-tapping screws, fasteners and heat washers will be useful.
5. The ends are connected by profiles, and the joints are processed with silicone sealant. On the sides of the building special supports are mounted, retaining raised roof components.

Self-installation of the Butterfly greenhouse is not difficult, it is enough to follow the instructions and have basic building skills.

The result is perfect garden buildingproviding a favorable climate for growing flowers, seedlings and vegetables.

Thanks to her, grown vegetables will delight their presence on the table all year round.
