Availability garden greenhouses - the dream of anyone who is not indifferent to the owner of a private house or cottage. The construction of such a building with his own hands is quite capable of any home craftsman.
But before you get down to business, you need to decide on the type of construction of the future structure. One of the options that are popular among gardeners is Polycarbonate house greenhouse, which will be discussed further.
Possible options gable greenhouses
Availability of various types of materials that can be used to build a greenhouse house, allows everyone to make the most appropriate choice for themselves. 
The following materials are used to cover two-fold greenhouses:
- polyethylene;
- glass;
- polycarbonate.
The main advantage of the film coating is the reasonable price of the material. Also, the film has a good ability to transmit and diffuse light. However, there are polyethylene and serious disadvantages.
This coating needs to be replaced periodically (about 2-3 times a year - it depends on the quality of polyethylene). As a result of the influence of ultraviolet rays, the film loses its carrying capacity and is often covered with condensate from the inside.
Glazing is the traditional way to cover greenhouses. Glass transmits light well and reduces heat loss, resulting in a favorable temperature regime inside the greenhouse.
The disadvantages include the inability to withstand heavy blows, as well as the complexity of installation, which entails considerable labor costs.
In this way, Polycarbonate greenhouses - the most popular option.
For the construction of the frame greenhouses use:
- metal;
- tree;
- plastic.
Many prefer the metal frame. Greenhouses from a profile pipe house are popular because such designs at the rather small weight have high durability.
But she has a minus - she is subject to corrosion.
Wood is an environmentally friendly material, but the framework constructed from such a material requires special care.
The wooden structure must sometimes be tinted or treated with special means to protect the tree from rotting.
Installation of a plastic frame is very easy and simple to build, but this design is not very strong and can break under the influence of additional load, such as heavy snowfall.
Whatever material is used for the construction of the greenhouse-house, it will not affect the presence of a number of features inherent in this structure:
- during heavy rains the water does not stagnate on the sloping roofflowing freely along it;
- such the design allows a well ventilated room, due to the presence of vents through which hot air discharges under the ceiling;
- in the greenhouse can grow tall plantsby planting them even along the walls.
Among the duo-pitch greenhouse buildings, it is worth highlighting such a unique design as mitlider greenhouse. Due to the original roof structure, in which one slope rises above the other, this structure is characterized by a high-quality ventilation system.
Due to the hole, equipped at the top of the structure and located from the end to the end of the greenhouse, the internal space of the structure is provided with intensive air exchange, which favorably affects the growth of plants.
Preparation for construction
A greenhouse with your own hands is not a fantasy, but a business that everyone can manage. To implement it, first of all, you need to decide on the place where the greenhouse will be installed, since the efficiency of its use will depend on it.
The optimal location of the greenhouse - the length from west to east. This will protect it from gusts of the north wind.
If there is an outbuilding in the plot in which the garden tools are kept, it is better to install a greenhouse next to it.
After the issue with the choice of place is resolved, it is necessary to sketch a drawing of a greenhouse from a polycarbonate house, and decide on the dimensions of the future structure. Here are the standard dimensions of a gable greenhouse:
- width - 2.5-3 m;
- length 5-7 m;
- height in the fad - 2.5 m.

The foundation for the greenhouse
Next you need to choose the type of foundation for the greenhouse construction. For a wooden greenhouse-house (this type of frame will be discussed below), a columnar foundation will be suitable, which will be enough to support not too much weight of the building. The diameter of the pillars should be 120 mm, length - 3 meters. Quantity - 6 pieces.
The columns are driven into the ground to a depth of 0.5 m. At the same time, four columns are installed at the corners of the future structure, two - in the middle. The installed support is poured with concrete and left untouched until it solidifies - this period is several days.
Frame construction
To polycarbonate twin-roof greenhouse turned out solid and reliable, you need to take care of its frame.
Wooden pillars of the foundation are the main part of the frame, so it remains only to attach horizontal bars to them (section of 100 mm). Bars are mounted on top of the pillars and in the middle. On the upper bars rafters are installed with a step of 50 cm. They serve as the basis for laying the roofing material, as well as provide additional stability to the entire structure.
After installation of the frame it is necessary to equip the space for windows and doors. The optimal size of the door frame is 180x80 cm, the size of the window frames can be chosen independently - there are no standard parameters here.
Coating installation
Having finished the framework of the gable greenhouse, you can begin to cover it.
Those who prefer glass coating should know that high-quality heat saving will be ensured by glass 4 mm thick. 
For the installation of glass should be in each opening to choose a quarter grooves. This can be done using a manual milling machine. The glass is fixed with wooden beadings.
The film coating is stretched onto the frame, preferably with a solid web. If the width of the film is not sufficient, the missing segments should be added in advance by soldering them to the main canvas with a hot iron.
To fix the coating on top of polyethylene, wooden slats are installed, which are nailed to the greenhouse frame.
Polycarbonate installation
Polycarbonate fastened with screwsIn this case, rubber gaskets should be used, since the material should not be in contact with the wood. Install sheets need a protective layer out.
Determine the desired side by the factory inscriptions, which, as a rule, applied to the material. After mounting the polycarbonate, remove the protective film from it.
As can be seen, the construction of the greenhouse-house does not constitute anything supernatural. To do this, it is enough to have minimal skills in the field of construction and a standard set of tools. We hope we answered your question: how to build a greenhouse in the form of a house?
