Every gardener or gardener dreams of a greenhouse on his site. A guide from experts will help you build greenhouses from PVC pipes with your own hands.
Polyvinyl chloride has long been a favorite among summer residents and farmers.
PVC pipes s have a number of advantages for construction:
In addition to these basic qualities, polyvinyl chloride pipes are very easy to install, they are not capricious when construction work. Even a beginner can make greenhouses from PVC pipes with his own hands.
Before you start building a greenhouse in your garden or summer cottage, you need to stock up on materials and tools. And also prepare the area for future construction.
It is important to decide on the size of the greenhouse and draw up a drawing in order to correctly calculate the required amount of material.
For a greenhouse you need three main types of material:
Additionally, you will need wire to connect structural elements to each other (or pipe fittings), hardware for fastening (nails, self-tapping screws), a hammer, scissors, a knife.
To make greenhouses using PVC pipes with your own hands, the dimensions of which have already been predetermined, you need to conditionally divide the work into several stages:
Before installing the foundation, you need to choose a place for it and prepare the soil - remove debris, level the soil. Then metal stakes are driven in from the sides of the greenhouse to hold the pipes so that the arch does not deform.
After this, you can begin the foundation.
To do this, you need to make a frame of wood and lay it on the ground.
To make sure the structure is even, you need to measure the diagonals.
If they match, then the frame is assembled correctly and evenly. Then it is necessary to drive metal reinforcement into the ground from two opposite sides at the same distance from each other - this will be the basis for the PVC pipes from which the arch is created. When marking the pipe, it is important to take into account your height so that the greenhouse does not come out low and it is convenient to work in it. After this, pipes are put on protruding pegs (20 centimeters from the ground) and an arch is formed.
In order for it to be strong, it must be secured at the bottom with a clamp. wooden frame. Next, another pipe is attached to the top in the middle, securing all the elements of the arch. The base of the doors is also made of pipes.
The last stage of work is covering the greenhouse with film. It is fixed on the pipes with clamps. They can be made from pieces of flexible hose, which is cut lengthwise on one side. It is not recommended to firmly attach the ceiling so that it can be tightened in case of deformation or sagging.
By following these tips and following the steps of work, in a few hours you can build an excellent greenhouse for your garden plot.
It is important to note that it is very easy to make greenhouses from PVC pipes with your own hands. You can make the drawings yourself or watch the video:
Palm trees have already become almost traditional trees in our gardens. Of course, in the gardens of those who make crafts from plastic bottles. In principle, there are not many techniques for creating palm trees.
The trunk is made from bottles Brown(mostly from kvass and beer). The easiest way is to cut off the bottoms of the bottles and insert them one by one into each other (the neck of one bottle into the hole - the former bottom) of the other.
To prevent the stability of the garden craft from being compromised, we thread a long reinforcing rod through the entire trunk. We “plant” the palm tree in the ground with it - we simply stick the rod deeper.
There are options in making palm leaves.
You can cut them out of large plastic bottles (2 liters) or bottles (the larger they are, the more luxurious the leaves will be, but still, the measure must be observed, otherwise there will be no harmony between the greenery and the trunk). By the way, what we call palm leaves are not leaves at all, but, one might say, a rosette of leaves, which is called very beautifully - frond. So we can first cut out ordinary oblong leaves from the bottle, cut them from the edge with scissors (for splendor), and then fasten them into rosettes with wire, making a hole in each leaf with a hot awl.
A palm tree made from a plastic bottle can have more massive greenery. To do this, green bottles need to be cut crosswise in half (we only use top part, with a neck), and “cut” the cut area with scissors to create a thick “terry”. After this, we assemble the bottles on an iron rod or very strong wire - in the same way as we made the barrel.
Let's be honest: it is difficult to recreate an exact copy of a real palm tree from plastic bottles. But even if bananas “grow” on a purely conventional imitation of this tropical tree, no one will doubt that in front of it is a palm tree. What are bananas made from?
Firstly, you don’t have to make bananas: you can buy plastic dummies in the store. They're cheap, appearance very similar to the real ones.
Secondly, « sunny fruits» Easy to cut from foam. After you give a piece of foam plastic a “banana” shape, you need to sand it with sandpaper, putty if necessary, paint it with yellow paint and varnish it. Both putty and paint should be for exterior use.
Third, you can cut tropical fruits out of wood (even just plan them with a sharp knife), and then paint and varnish them in the same way.
Fourthly, Amazing bananas can be made from polyurethane foam.
And, of course, you can use it for this garden craft plastic bottles: the smallest (0.3-0.5 l). The shape of the fruit, in this case, will be approximate, but the bright color can cover this shortcoming.
So, whatever you make your bananas out of, tie them into a bunch and hang them on a palm tree. You can simply tie it with wire: the fastening will not be visible from under the foliage.
By the way, the combination will be very harmonious plastic palm tree and real palm trees. The garden palm, Yucca filomentosa, grows remarkably well in our climate. You can see how to grow it.
