A greenhouse is a building intended for growing plants that require a higher temperature and humidity. Many of the plants grown in greenhouses can also be successfully cultivated in the garden patch, but the fruits of our labor will reap much later.

Building Greenhouse
Very handy handyman perhaps can build a house yourself, but it is a
greenhouse built safely and efficiently, it is necessary to respect the important design rules. It is much easier to purchase a greenhouse kit. Kits greenhouses on the market are designed to occur to the ideal light transmission, generation of heat, air circulation, the formation of moisture and CO2. Additionally, professional designer thinks of comfort.
How to choose a greenhouse
When acquiring a greenhouse not based solely on the purchase price, but also the spatial possibilities of the garden and the type of plant to be grown in a greenhouse. Other greenhouses suitable for warmer landscape and vice versa. If you're still stumped, place yourself in the hands of experts. Try to explore the garden buildings in the showroom, or consider getting a greenhouse on a turnkey basis.
Structural design of the greenhouse
Greenhouse consists of a support structure, which is usually made of aluminum or galvanized steel. Do structures are embedded transparent plate mounted in frames. These plates are of the traditional glass or increasingly polycarbonate.
The construction of galvanized sheet
Galvanized steel sheet is thermally treated on both sides with a zinc layer. This layer performs corrosion protection. Galvanized steel is a popular material for its low purchase price, but its drawback is its limited lifetime. It depends on the environment and the zinc layer on the sheet surface and moves over a range of 3-25 years. Lifetime galvanized sheet can extend protective coatings.
Aluminum construction
It is a material that is more expensive than galvanized sheet, but is becoming more popular, especially for its anti-corrosive properties. Its properties are extended and coated with lacquers in a wide variety of colors RAL. The big advantage is the low weight, flexibility, corrosion resistance and hence durability. The disadvantage is its softness and the related possibility of mechanical damage.
Glass or plastic?
Fill frames mounted in the construction of the greenhouse is a traditional glass or increasingly the trend of material called
cellular polycarbonate. Glass is a timeless classic that can withstand a higher load than plastic, but why not choose polycarbonate? It is an unbreakable material, ideal for light transmission and heat retention, is lightweight, flexible and moreover from recycled plastics. You only need to choose from a certified manufacturer of polycarbonate, cheap and non-certified products may be unpleasantly surprised us.
