DIY greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes

The choice of pipes for is due to their strength. We will not be interested in parameters such as working pressure and other characteristics for water pipes... The pipe must be plastic and solid, withstand aggressive environment and heavy weight.

TO merits polypropylene can be attributed to it environmental friendliness - pipes from it are used to supply drinking water, which means there are no harmful impurities in the material and vapors. The flexibility of the material allows you to mount arched structures. Such pipes steady to high temperatures... Another advantage is weight - they are the lightest of all plastic pipes... The greenhouse structure can be easily transferred to another place, it does not require much physical effort to create it.

disadvantages few, but quite serious. When -15 ° C polypropylene pipes become brittle and can collapse under the weight of snow. The frame of them must be disassembled and removed for the winter. Such pipes sensitive to ultraviolet, which reduces the operational properties - they can deform.

HDPE pipes from polyvinyl chloride have the same advantages as polypropylenebut more resistant to UV light.

The service life of pipes is from 10 to 12 years.

To make a greenhouse with your own hands from polypropylene pipes , the pipe diameter (outer) can be from 13 to 25 mm, depending on the severity of the covering material. For the film, a 13 mm pipe is enough, for polycarbonate - 20-25 mm. The wall thickness must be at least 3 mm. Such parameters will provide structural strength.

Film mounts

How to pin to plastic frame film without damaging it? Together with arcs for a greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes, there are usually special clipssimply clamping the film in the right places. They are plastic, therefore safe for its integrity. They are also sold separately in packs of 10 pieces. When purchasing ready-made clips, pay attention to the diameter of the pipe for which they are intended.

Can be done clamps do it yourself from scraps of the same pipes. To do this, small pieces about 7-10 cm long. They are cut along the wall and pushed apart. Sharp edges can be processed emery or melt.

Can polycarbonate be mounted on a frame?

Can. Pipes are enough durableto support the weight of the polycarbonate sheets. But here you need to focus on expediency. Greenhouses are built from polycarbonate and polypropylene pipes with their own hands, as a rule, taking into account wintering, they are not intended for permanent assembly-disassembly.

AND polypropylene does not withstand winter temperatures well. In warm regions where winter temperatures do not drop below - 5 ° C, this option is quite justified. Where frosts crack in winter, it is better to make a collapsible greenhouse with a film coating.

Preparation for construction

This is certainly not a home, but preliminary preparation to the construction greenhouses made of polypropylene do it yourself is necessary.

It starts with a choice places, especially for a stationary greenhouse. The place for construction should be level so that you do not have to complicate the structure.

It should be sunny, otherwise the meaning of its construction is lost.

Usually, a summer or stationary greenhouse is oriented with its ends from south to north. So the sunlight will fill her throughout the day.

The place should be protected from strong winds, from which the steel structure can also collapse.

If this is not possible, the greenhouse should be built so that it is protected at least from the north wind, which brings cold.

The greenhouse should be located at a distance 5 meters from other buildings on the site. Of polypropylene pipes you can build a greenhouse of any design - a house, arched, wall-mounted. The choice depends on the seasonality of use, financial capabilities and the area of \u200b\u200bthe beds that are planned to be split in it.

It also depends on what crops will be grown in it and what the height of the plants will be. The most common summer design is arched greenhouse... It is both aesthetic and functional.

Material for foundation and its type depends on the design. For lightweight film greenhouses, a wooden foundation in the form of a bar or a base of boards will be sufficient. For a permanent polycarbonate greenhouse, you will need more solid support.

It could be strip foundation ... It is durable and is also suitable for a removable structure, if it is not supposed to be moved along summer cottage... Besides, wooden foundation will start to rot, even if it is well treated with an antiseptic. It will have to be changed approximately every 3-4 years.

Calculation of materials

amount pipes depends on the height and length of the structure, on the coating material - it will be a film or polycarbonate. For a film greenhouse, pipes of a smaller diameter can be used; for polycarbonate, thicker, stronger pipes are needed. In addition, to fasten the stiffeners of the structure, you must purchase adapter couplings.

The calculation also includes the material from which the foundation will be made. Pipes are attached to it with metal fittings. Internal supports should also be provided. In addition, the fasteners that will be used during construction are calculated.

Important! Before calculating materials, do drawing greenhouses.

Do it yourself: assembly instructions

How to make carcass DIY greenhouses made of polypropylene pipes? Greenhouse frame made of HDPE pipes are perhaps the easiest construction to manufacture. For greenhouse size 10x4 you will need:

• base board 2x20 cm - 28 p / m;
• polypropylene or HDPE pipes with a diameter 13 mm - 17 pcs. 6 m each;
• fittings 10-12 mm, rods 3 m long - 10 pcs.;
• strips for lathing ends 2x4 cm according to the drawing;
• plastic connecting clamps;
• fasteners (nuts, bolts, screws, staples);
• aluminum fasteners for connecting arches with a wooden frame;
• coating film;
• clips for fastening the film;
• locks and hinges for vents (if provided).

Arched greenhouse with a frame made of HDPE pipes - step by step instructions:

1. At the selected place, a shallow (10-15 cm) trench around the perimeter of the greenhouse. A wooden frame is installed in it. The bottom is covered with sand or lined with roofing material. A beam or board for the foundation must necessarily pass antiseptic treatment to increase the service life. Measure both diagonals of the frame, if they are equal, then it is aligned correctly and has right angles.
2. In the corners of the frame, short pieces of reinforcement are hammered into the ground no higher than the sides of the frame. They will keep the structure from deformations.
3. The rest of the cut pieces of reinforcement are driven in half the length along the walls from the outside of the frame in increments of 60-62 cm.
4. Six-meter pipes are put on on the pins on both sides - first with one, then, with a neat fold, on the other. Attached to the base board with a metal bracket.
5. From the ends is done wooden lathing... 4 racks are installed. The distance between them depends on the width of the doorway. Vertical slats are necessarily tied transversely to give rigidity.
6. Under the very top of the structure stretches stiffener... To do this, with the help of plastic clamps, two polypropylene pipes are joined and attached to the arches.
7. Last step - film fixing using clips - purchased or homemade. The bottom of the coating must be made heavier so that the film does not rise in the wind. You can press it with stones or a long bar.

Reference: To prevent the film from tearing under the clips, cover the structure graduallymaking allowances.

Build from pipes polypropylene greenhouse even a beginner in construction can do it. It will serve for more than one year if it is properly operated and, if necessary, replaced. wooden frame at the base. Good luck to everyone and good harvests!

When the question arises, whether to buy a ready-made greenhouse or build it yourself, many decide in favor of the second option. The case is small: study the topic carefully and decide on the type of greenhouse. The size, shape of the building, materials - all this will have to be thought out in advance. Today we will tell you how to build a greenhouse from polypropylene pipes with your own hands and its main advantages.

The advantages of a polypropylene frame

The frame is one of the most important components affecting the durability of the greenhouse. It is the basis of the entire structure, and the service life of the coating will also depend on it. Indeed, if the frame is unstable or disproportionate, then the coating, no matter how reliable and expensive it may be, will collapse much faster.

Greenhouse frame made of polypropylene pipes

The frame for the greenhouse can be built from materials such as wood (timber), metal pipe or profile. Each of them has its own advantages, but they are united by one drawback: to a greater or lesser extent, they all corrode in the humid environment of the greenhouse. That is why pipes made of polypropylene, plastic or PVC can be called the best material for building a frame, since they do not have such a negative property. We list other advantages of polypropylene:

• lasting. A very important quality for frame material, because the greenhouse will have to deal with wind and snow loads;
• flexible. Due to this property, pipes made of polypropylene, plastic or PVC are suitable for the construction of arched greenhouses;
• easy. The frame made of such pipes is easy to mount, dismantle, and if necessary, move to another place;

The pipe frame is easy to assemble even for a person without construction experience

• durable. The plastic from which the pipes are made does not change its dense structure for about ten years. And then the parts that begin to deform can be replaced without much difficulty;
• moisture resistant. The material does not absorb moisture at all and does not collapse under its action;
• fire resistant. You can be calm: PVC pipes will not cause a fire, since they do not burn at all;
• environmentally friendly material does not emit fumes harmful to humans and plants.

Getting started - making calculations

Before starting construction, you need to choose the right place for the greenhouse and it is advisable to take into account all the details:

1. Choose the shape of the greenhouse and determine its size.
2. Develop drawings and diagrams with precise distances.
3. Calculate the amount and cost of material (pipes, coatings, fasteners).
4. Prepare the tools necessary for installation.

Drawing: greenhouse with a frame made of polypropylene pipes

Only with all this, it will be possible to start with confidence with the first stage of construction - the arrangement of the foundation.

Foundations for a greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes

The frame made of polypropylene pipes, as already mentioned, is lightweight and can do without a solid foundation. Especially if the plans include an annual change in the location of the greenhouse. But you still need to do something. For example, equip the base - a wooden frame made of twenty-centimeter boards.

Having chosen a flat, more or less horizontal terrain, well lit by the sun, we proceed to preparatory work... We dig a ditch around the perimeter of our future greenhouse (we already know its size) to a depth of about 10-15 cm. We lay out the bottom with a layer of sand and then with roofing material. The box, which has been knocked down in advance from the boards treated with an antiseptic, is placed in a prepared place, and then we strengthen it with waterproofing material from all sides.

Greenhouse base

After the horizontal is set and right angles are knocked out, you need to strengthen the foundation with four reinforcing rods. They are hammered from the inside of all four corners of the frame and further prevent it from deforming.

Council. You can check if the frame rectangle is correct by measuring both of its diagonals. If they are identical in length, then our foundation is perfect.

Making a base of boards for a frame made of polypropylene pipes is easy, fast and inexpensive. But you cannot count on the service life of a board lying in the ground too long, even with precautions. After a while, it will have to be replaced. Therefore, some owners still prefer to fill in a full-fledged strip foundation for centuries.

Frame installation

From polypropylene, plastic or PVC pipes, you can make a frame for both arched and gable greenhouses. Naturally, the principles of assembling these two frames are fundamentally different. Do-it-yourself arched greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes - the task is several times easier, and therefore it is recommended that beginners in the construction business try to build it. We bring to your attention ready instructions for assembling an arched polypropylene greenhouse measuring 10 x 4 m.

Arched greenhouse

Council. In warm weather, the material will be more pliable, and the quality of work will be much higher - the film will not sag.

Gable greenhouse

The process of creating a gable greenhouse from polypropylene pipes is not much more complicated than an arched one. To some extent, this is similar to the construction set for adults. The problem may be that for joining the pipes, you will need a special soldering iron, which connects two plastic parts at high temperatures.

The frame of a gable greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes

To install a gable frame, you will need:

• polypropylene pipes 32 and 25 mm in diameter;
• tee fittings;
• cross fittings;
• welding machine or furniture bolts.

Attention! Furniture bolts can be used as pipe fastening material. In this case, the structure will be collapsible, but less stable and reliable.

The process of erecting the frame of a gable greenhouse begins with the same arrangement of base boards of the required size and fixing the reinforcement, on which polypropylene pipes are installed vertically and fixed with metal brackets. And then the creative work begins on the design of the rectangular frame and roof. Tees are soldered to the top of the pipes, and crosses to the corner ones. The rafters will be attached to them, heading to the ridge of the greenhouse. The rafters on each side of the ridge will need to be additionally reinforced with stiffening pipes.

Polypropylene for greenhouses is used on this moment very popular. Structures of this type are quite durable and resistant to any moisture.

What can be the forms of greenhouses made of polypropylene pipes

A propylene pipe greenhouse can be found in all sizes.
Quite often on suburban area can be found:

• Square designs.
• Rectangular.

Note. Due to the properties of pipes and their method of fastening together, you can give the structure any shape.

Characteristics and quality indicators of polypropylene pipes for a greenhouse

Polypropylene pipes can have:

• Different diameters.
• Different lengths.
• Different wall thicknesses.

The length of pipes for the manufacture of a greenhouse is found:

• 2 m.
• 3m.
• 5 m.
• 6 m.
• 7 m.

This allows fewer pipe connections to be made during assembly.

• Practical, since the plastic has a dense structure and does not require special care after installation.
• Long lasting. The pipes have been serving for 10 years. Subsequently, if material deformation is detected, they can be easily replaced.
• Moisture resistant. This indicator is especially important for greenhouses, inside which the air humidity is constantly high.
• Fire resistant. Polypropylene pipes do not burn.
• Environmentally friendly. They do not emit harmful substances and do not adversely affect the growth of crops in the greenhouse.
• Wear resistant. Throughout the entire period of use, the pipes do not change their structure.
• Durable. They are able to withstand quite strong loads and at the same time not deform.
• Flexible. Due to this property, they take arched forms.

How to make a greenhouse from polypropylene pipes

In order to make your own greenhouse from polypropylene pipes, you will initially need:

• Determine the shape of the greenhouse.
• Draw up a construction project.
• Calculate the required amount of material and tools for its construction.
• Think over the frame fixing system.

Council. All these works are necessary for the reason that it is possible to accurately determine the area that the greenhouse will occupy on the site.

It is also worth paying attention to the height and shape of the greenhouse.

Drawing up a drawing (project) for a greenhouse

Initially, a site is determined for the construction of the structure.
It should be:

• In an open area.
• In flat terrain, to make it easier to install the frame.
• Have direct sunlight, otherwise the greenhouse will not have its main property.

The project states:

• The dimensions of the structure, and its shape.
• The amount of material and equipment required for its construction.
• Methods and methods of fastening the structure.

Unfortunately, a polypropylene greenhouse is not sold ready-made, like metal structures of this type. It is self-made, which makes it possible to save money on its construction.

The base for the frame of the greenhouse structure made of polypropylene pipes

In order to be durable and resistant to winds, you need to think over its fixation in the ground.
To do this, use:

• Bricks.
• Cinder blocks.
• Benoblocks.
• Stones.
• Wooden beams.

They also practice the use of a foundation: monolithic or tape.

Council. In order to be able to hold the greenhouse frame at the base, small metal rods must be attached to it, on which polypropylene pipes will be fixed.

You can not use rods that are mounted in the base, but use fasteners that secure the frame with self-tapping screws and a screwdriver.

Production of a greenhouse frame from polypropylene pipes

It is worth noting:

• A greenhouse is made from polypropylene very quickly and easily.
• You do not need to have certain knowledge in this area.
• All you need is a tool and pipe fastener.

In order to assemble the construction of a greenhouse frame from polypropylene pipes with your own hands, you will need:

• Plastic tees.
• Plastic doubles.
• Special solder for PVC structures.
• Building level.
• Wire.
• Roulette and pencil.
• Grinder or jigsaw for cutting pipes.

Council. The greenhouse frame made of polypropylene pipes at the base is fastened using a special welding for plastic, and at the top you can use wire or special rubber mounts.

So:

• It is worth dividing the pipes into main ones, which will perform the functions of load-bearing and auxiliary ones.
• Then the main pipes for the frame are attached to the base.
• Additional pipes of the structure are attached to them.

In the video, you can see the installation process of the greenhouse frame structure, which consists of polypropylene pipes.

How can you strengthen the frame of the greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes

Polypropylene pipes for greenhouses, which are long and built into the base, are not able to withstand the wind without additional connections. The structure may collapse.
It is necessary to strengthen the structure with:

• Plastic pipes that have a larger diameter.
• Metal pipes.
• Wooden beams or planks.

These elements are simply inserted in the very center of the frame and deepened into the ground, which will enable the frame structure to be more resistant to weather and climatic conditions.

Council. Such reinforcement can be made not only during the construction of the frame, but also after its complete assembly.

Greenhouse frame covering made of polypropylene pipes

Only lightweight material can be used as a covering for the polypropylene frame of the greenhouse. This is a plastic wrap.
So:

• At the moment, she has a wide range of products.
• She is able to retain heat well inside the greenhouse.
• Easy and quick installation.
• The film is relatively strong and can withstand strong gusts of wind.

Council. The latter characteristic largely depends on the method of mounting the material.

There are several types of plastic wrap:

• Multi-layer, which is characterized by excellent hermetic properties.
• , is distinguished by its strength and durability.
• Plain plastic wrap. It is not recommended to use it in early spring, as it is not capable of retaining high-quality heat inside the structure.
• Reflective, which reflects the sun's rays, causing a scalding effect when it hits the plant directly.

All of them are widely used as covering for the greenhouse frame and the price for each type of film is different.

How to fix plastic wrap on a polypropylene pipe frame

Let's take a closer look:

• The film can be mounted tightly, or using special brackets.
• Such staples are made of plastic or rubber.
• They help to fix the film covering on the main elements of the frame.

Council. The size of the film and its width must correspond to the dimensions of the frame so that the material can be fixed only at the base of the structure.

So:

• If the base of the frame is made of wood, then the film is fixed on it with nails and securely fixed on top with a wooden strip.
• Such work is carried out along the entire perimeter of the structure.
• If the frame does not allow to make a strong fastening of the film, then special fasteners are used.

Council. Simple wire can be used instead.

There are no instructions for such work, but there are certain recommendations of experienced gardeners, observing which it is possible to build a high-quality and durable greenhouse structure.

Today the market offers a huge number of greenhouse complexes: gable and arched, capital and lighter, mobile, with film cladding and glazed, expensive and not very. Among all this variety, of course, you can choose suitable model, or you can build it yourself. Today we will tell you about how to make a greenhouse from polypropylene pipes with your own hands.

DIY greenhouse. Choosing a material for the frame

It is difficult to imagine a modern dacha without a reliable and strong greenhouse, because we love early radishes so much, and like children we rejoice at the first tomatoes, and in the fall we want to get a rich harvest of heat-loving crops. All this is possible if your site has a covered greenhouse complex with a solid structure and a solid canopy.

The frame made of plastic pipes is very light and at the same time quite strong

There are many different greenhouses and many materials for their construction, which means that there are also a lot of opinions about what the best greenhouse should be. One of the most important criteria for choosing one or another greenhouse is the durability of the structure, and it is from it that one should proceed when building a greenhouse complex. The most durable and, importantly, inexpensive greenhouse with a frame made of shaped pipe.

But if your budget is limited or you just do not want to overpay for installing a greenhouse on the site, then you will certainly be interested in PVC pipe structures. A greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes with your own hands, in comparison with more expensive counterparts, has a number of advantages. One of the most striking advantages is the ability to quickly assemble / disassemble the structure, which allows not only choosing the dimensions of the greenhouse complex ourselves, but also folding it for the winter for storage in the garage.

Greenhouse made of plastic pipes, covered with film

Another advantage greenhouses pvc Is her lightness. However, this quality is often taken by experts as the main drawback of such designs.

Other advantages of greenhouses made of polypropylene and PVC pipes include:

Types of greenhouse complexes made of plastic pipes

There are many modifications of greenhouses, we will give only a few, the most common of them:

Light greenhouse made of film and plastic pipes

1. Arch-type greenhouses with a durable film coating (can be equipped with a box made of wood and arches on steel rods, as well as arches and a frame made of plastic on tees).
2. Models with a gable roof coated with film.
3. Design arched type with polycarbonate casing.
4. Products equipped with gable roof and covering polycarbonate.

Materials for self-construction

To design a greenhouse with your own hands, you will have to arm yourself with an aluminum profile, polypropylene or metal-plastic pipesas well as PVC pipes. The status of truly durable and ultra-reliable complexes was deservedly won by products based on shaped pipes. Traditionally, pipes with a rectangular or square cross section (40 x 20, 20 x 20, 40 x 40) are used for construction.

Arch-type greenhouse frame

The frame of a structure based on shaped pipes is the best fit for subsequent glass cladding. Many gardeners prefer greenhouse complexes made of galvanized pipes. Of course, such products have a number of advantages: the frame does not rust and deteriorate from corrosion, successfully withstands any whims of the weather, and the service life of such a structure is decades.

For accurate calculation of the quantity necessary materials you must first design the structure. This is done either independently, with the appropriate knowledge and training, or simply downloaded from the Internet.

Attention! Anyone can design a greenhouse based on plastic pipes: from a professional builder to a beginner who has never held a tool in his life. The main thing is desire, patience and utmost accuracy!

Frame construction

To carry out the work, we need fittings, PVC pipes, 4 beams 10 x 10, bars 50 x 50 in the amount of 10 pieces, plastic clamps, nails, screws, several sheets of polycarbonate, accessories for vents and doors of the future design, as well as some free time and desire.

Greenhouse frame installation

Construction work, as usual, is preceded by an important stage of preparatory measures: the site for the construction is selected and carefully leveled. The timber must be treated with a special antiseptic, which will retain its original quality for a long time and protect it from moisture and soil exposure. Using a timber, the base frame is carefully made.

Fixing to the base of the greenhouse

To give the structure maximum stability, reinforcing bars are used. Special workpieces with a length of no more than 80 cm are cut from them.They are driven in around the entire perimeter of the future greenhouse at a distance of 50 cm from each other and to a depth of 40 cm.On the left side, a PVC pipe is put on the reinforcing bar, gently bent. The other end slides over the right-hand reinforcing bar. As a result, arcs are obtained at an equidistant distance from each other (50 cm). The pipes are fixed very simply: they are screwed to the base frame with clamps. We will need 50 x 50 bars for the construction of openings for future doors from the end of the greenhouse.

Fastening the greenhouse frame

In order for the finished structure to be really strong and as durable as possible, it is recommended to install stiffeners. For this, a pipe is fixed in the central part of the end blocks and is attached to all arcs by means of clamps.

Doors are installed in prepared doorways. The most simple construction greenhouses are considered finished.

We select the trim

Film

It is hard to disagree that film is the most common coating. Yes, at first glance it may seem that the cost of film coating will be minimal. However, looking into the near future, we note that new film will have to be bought every season, which means that costs will only grow every year. If this does not scare you, then feel free to buy this inexpensive coating and carefully attach it along the lower edge of the structure. Then the film is lifted, carefully stretched, with the help of rails it is nailed in the middle, stretched again and fixed in the lower plane on the other side of the greenhouse. The whole procedure will take 1-2 hours. The main thing is to do everything slowly and very carefully. To install the film, choose as calm weather as possible.

Greenhouse lined with foil

Attention! To prevent drafts and crevices, slightly weight the edges of the film. Take advantage of rocks or fragments of bricks, which can almost always be found on any garden plot.

Glass

Despite its many advantages, a glass-covered greenhouse complex is somewhat costly. For the construction of a solid and durable greenhouse, it is necessary to prepare the foundation, weld the base from shaped pipes, carefully study the watering and ventilation of the air, and glaze. The last stage - glazing - requires special skills and abilities from the performer, because the material is quite fragile and unsafe. And there are a lot of hooligans: inadvertently they can damage not only the structure itself, but also ruin the entire greenhouse harvest.

Polycarbonate

If you are interested in really practical, reliable and durable cladding, then go for polycarbonate. This versatile material perfectly winters, does not need to be dismantled at low temperatures, and in the spring in such a greenhouse it almost instantly thaws the soil. The coating retains heat, condensation is never visible on it, and the service life of polycarbonate reaches 10 years. No wonder experts consider it the best coverage for modern greenhouse complexes.

Polycarbonate greenhouse with plastic pipe frame

Fastening polycarbonate to the frame is a simple procedure that does not take much time.
To cover the structure with polycarbonate, you first need to unfold it (the material is sold in rolls), remove the protective film from the bottom surface and fix the canvas at the bottom with self-tapping screws. Then the sheet is gently lifted and simultaneously screwed to the frame every 70 cm. Having reached the opposite side of the greenhouse, the sheet is again fixed at the bottom. If the greenhouse is installed perfectly level, then the coating will be smooth and uniform over the entire surface.

In addition to the above materials for cladding, you can also use non-woven materials (spunbond, agrospan, agrotex). Bubble film coatings and reinforced coatings are very common, capable of withstanding any kind of bad weather, including heavy hail and storm winds.

As you noticed, build a greenhouse from pVC pipes, plastic or polyethylene pipes not only easy, but affordable even on a limited budget. An inexpensive and properly constructed PVC greenhouse will last quite a long time and will be an excellent alternative for expensive factory-made greenhouse complexes.
