As you begin your endeavor into greenhouse construction, you’ll want to keep in mind what kind of greenhouse frame is going to keep your house standing strong and your plants safe and healthy.
Because the greenhouse market is so varied, the type of frame that you implement is going to differ drastically depending on what plants you’re growing and what kind of greenhouse you have the means to provide for them. If you’re like the average consumer, spending a ton of cash on this project probably isn’t in the cards, so look into getting a smaller, more cost-effective greenhouses that require a minimum of construction but provide a wonderful atmosphere in which your plants can thrive. Your frame is going to consist of either aluminum, polyethylene(PVC), or wood ribbing. and your covering is most likely going to consist of a clear Visqueen plastic sheet, whose transparency allows for maximum sun exposure and whose composition ensures minimum wear.
Building frames for greenhouses is actually less technical than you’d think –especially if you’re looking for something fairly cheap and movable. Again, consider year-round plants. They’re easy to maintain if you have the right house. A hoop house, for instance, is a bit larger than a cold frame and uses PVC pipe — a material less expensive than aluminum and wood, and easier to work with. If you have about 90 minutes to kill one Saturday afternoon and a few friends, you can create a space perfect for plants that need a temperate climate. The framework basically requires you to put pipes in sockets –no hammer and nails necessary. As long as you have a rubber mallet to fit the joints snugly in place and some wooden planks to keep your house stationary in volatile weather, you’ve got all you need to construct the perfect greenhouse.
However, there are those who’d rather buy a greenhouse that is large enough to hold an entire ecosystem –a glasshouse with all the trappings of extravagant plant growth: hydroponic systems, ventilation, environmental pest control, the works. If that’s the case, you’ve got no problems acquiring a greenhouse frame that will satisfy your needs.
If you’re not interested in literally buying a new house or taking the initiative to create your own plant oasis, that’s perfectly fine. Greenhouse frame kits are available all over the market. Obviously they include your frames, but they also include your covering, any sort of ventilation you may need, and the perfect pest control option money can buy.
Don’t be alarmed if at first sight building a frame seems daunting. Just look around the web to find the framework plans that suit your needs and you’ll be well on your way to being heralded as Mr. Greensleeves.
