A greenhouse is an environment for planting plants whose roof and walls are transparent so that the plants can receive enough light and at the same time they are safe from cold, heat and strong winds. Small home greenhouses are the best way to grow seeds in winter and near spring.
First step: building the greenhouse skeleton
In the first step, you need to determine a suitable framework for building your greenhouse. Different materials such as metal pipes, wooden boards or lighter and more flexible materials such as PVC can be used to make the greenhouse skeleton. The fastest and easiest way to build the main structure is to use PVC pipes and fittings. One of the advantages of using PVC pipes is the durability of these pipes in different conditions, which, considering the high humidity of the greenhouse, it seems more logical to use them instead of metal pipes. In addition, metal pipes need to be painted to resist rust, which increases their cost, but PVC pipes will remain for years without the slightest rot. These pipes are easily available at reasonable prices and can be obtained from hardware and hardware stores. You must first determine the size of the greenhouse and prepare pipes and fittings based on it. To build a greenhouse 2 meters long and 50 cm wide, you will need two PVC pipe branches. Each branch of the white pipe is 6 meters. Also, you will need 8 tees, 12 45-degree elbows, 4 90-degree elbows and a four-way connector to make the greenhouse frame. In the construction of the skeleton of the greenhouse with PVC pipes, in order to resist the wind and prevent the greenhouse from shaking, from the beginning, necessary restraints such as a cement base or a strong wooden or metal frame the size of the greenhouse should be created on the ground. Then, the PVC pipes should be connected by joints and with a welding machine at the same intervals and finally fixed to the wooden or metal frame with clamps or screws. After these steps, it is enough to create a door for entry and exit on one side and cover the other side with nylon that we will use for insulation. We can also create a small air vent at the top of the door.
Second stage: insulating the greenhouse
After completing the construction of the greenhouse skeleton, it is time to insulate and cover the greenhouse, and one of the easiest and cheapest methods for this is to use nylon cover. To connect the nylon to the skeleton, it is enough to connect the PVC pipes with glue or nails.
In the bottom part of the structure, you can bury a plastic inside the soil so that no seams remain.
There are many benefits to using a personal greenhouse. It is very easy and easy to make a nylon greenhouse, and its cost is very cheap compared to other greenhouses such as: glass greenhouses. Nylons are a good cover for taking care of plants and flowers against heat and humidity. In fact, these special plastics have a useful life of 2 to 3 years.
How to install nylon greenhouse
The general order of the installation operation is clear:
• Place the nylon on the tunnel. Place the plastic roll in front of one of the end walls.
• Attach the nylon to the end walls of the greenhouse
• Finally, secure it from the side walls.
The third stage: watering the greenhouse
The last step is to set up the water supply system. The irrigation method in greenhouses has a significant effect on the quality of the products, so the importance of choosing a suitable and correct irrigation method is very important and vital. Depending on the type of plants, your irrigation system can be designed as drip or nozzle, or it can be done manually. But for a small greenhouse, the best option is to use a drip irrigation system. The price of the drip irrigation system is not cheap, but it is worth paying, because the water consumption in this system is less than your manual sprinkler. This method of irrigation is done by using polyethylene pipes with special droppers and with suitable water pressure, the water is spread from a low pressure pipe network at frequent intervals in a pre-determined pattern. In this method, it is possible to add some poisons and macro and micro fertilizers to the soil at the same time as watering. The drip irrigation system is used as a complete and basic part in the comprehensive irrigation plan, and this method is known as the most complete and best method for watering and uniform transfer of fertilizer and nutrients to the plant. The efficiency of the drip irrigation method is estimated between 90 and 95%, which is very impressive compared to other methods that have an efficiency of between 60 and 70% at best.
The most important points in making a nylon greenhouse
A very important point for making a nylon greenhouse is the size and sufficient light of the greenhouse. There are different types of greenhouse power systems, when you don’t have the possibility to receive light at all, you should use artificial LED lamps for your greenhouse.
It is worth noting that plants and flowers are very weak and damaged when exposed to cold; For this reason, the greenhouse must be well heated in the autumn and winter seasons. For this, you need equipment such as a small electric heater.
If your greenhouse is very large or you want to build your home greenhouse on the roof and large spaces, it is better to use the greenhouse ventilator as an air conditioner.
It is recommended to use a thermometer and hygrometer inside the greenhouse to know the temperature and humidity of the greenhouse. As a result, the growth of plants and crops in the greenhouse will increase.
If you are a person who is interested in technical work, you can do it yourself and build your own home greenhouse with your desired design. All you need to pay attention to is choosing the right place for your plant and providing light and temperature.
. Making a greenhouse with nylon is one of the cheapest ways to make a greenhouse that you don’t need special equipment and tools. In a nylon greenhouse, you can easily grow ornamental plants, medicinal plants, all kinds of flowers and vegetables and have the most profitable greenhouse products, making a nylon greenhouse in a small size is suitable for spaces such as yards and gardens.
