Green · House Framing If you build your own framework, most people choose wood because of availability. You can use the standard 2 x 4 or treated wood. With the new pressure-treated wood you do not have problems with glazing materials compatibility. If you have access to aluminum or steel, they are also acceptable materials. Sometimes you have a local conservatory company that will provide you with aluminum profiles. Local welding shop may be willing to work with you on a steel frame.
The glass materials · - There are many options here. Very different prices. I will talk about these cheaper to most expensive. First, 4 years, 6 000 Polyfilm. This is protected against UV rays for added durability. The name is somewhat misleading. You can get four years out of it, but mainly refers to the duration of UV protection will last. The following is the Polyfilm strengthened. It is essentially two layers of film with an armored cable between the two. This is a characteristic tear-resistant. If the film is broken, it will not continue to extract the marrow from the past. It will last much longer than 4 years, 6 000 movies. Then comes Solexx. This material is polyethylene foam. The UV coating is applied to the top of this material, but becomes part of the Solexx in the manufacturing sector. Is guaranteed for 10 years. It will give you a much better insulation factor that is cinema. It is soft and can be shipped UPS roll.
Material emissions final polycarbonate glazing. It is also a cellular or multilayer material. There are many banks and specialty plates available to reduce heat, etc. It is a rigid material and must be packaged and shipped on a truck line. Also, do not let me ignore the fact that many people recycle their old windows to build the greenhouse effect.
Greenhouse Supplies · - A greenhouse will not function properly without supplies or accessories. The two most important are the packages of heating and ventilation. The greenhouse will have some type of system for passing air in the hot summer months. This is usually done with roof vents, exhaust and intake components. A greenhouse can not keep itself warm winter nights. There are some methods that will help solar, but usually you need a heating current to keep warm at the desired temperature. There are many other supplies for your greenhouse that can be added as required such as shade cloth, benches, misting systems etc.
Not intimidated by the idea of building your greenhouse staff. There are many advantages to building your own greenhouse gas emissions than to buy a kit. You can design to suit your needs exactly. Do very little study of the materials and find out there and make it happen. For many hours of fun to do this project and, finally, a new greenhouse.
