Materials for the construction of the frame and covering for the greenhouse

Weather conditions today have become simply unpredictable, it rains all summer, then drought sets in. And in order to avoid these cataclysms, it is enough to install a greenhouse on your personal plot. You can do it yourself.

At the moment, the building materials market provides a fairly large assortment of materials for creating a greenhouse frame. For example, if a steel frame is used, then it can be coated with a special powder paint in order not only to make it look attractive, but also to protect the material from corrosion and damage. Steel is a durable and reliable material that does not corrode, which is why it will last for a long time. And besides, this material has a characteristic high level of thermal conductivity, but sometimes such a parameter is not welcomed, that is, it all depends on the situation.

The galvanized profile, which is also used to create the frame, has a low level of strength, but it does not rust throughout its use. To create a profile, thin steel is used, which is easy and simple to deform, so you can create any product, depending on the task.

If we take into account the process of construction of a structure , then a square profile made of galvanized steel is suitable.

Of course, such a material is durable and does not corrode on it due to the fact that it is galvanized, and it undergoes special processing during the creation process. In addition, sometimes you can see how bars treated with antiseptic agents are used to create the framework.

If we talk about covering the greenhouse, then each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, since it is impossible to find a truly ideal material to solve this issue. For example, a greenhouse film can be easily replaced if necessary. In addition, such material is inexpensive and accessible to everyone. But now there is a low level of thermal insulation and the instability of the material to mechanical damage.

Recently, high quality and durable polycarbonate has been in great demand. It has excellent thermal conductivity, and the material is also lightweight, durable and reliable, so it can be used for more than a dozen. But the length and size of the arches depends only on the polycarbonate sheets, which is not always convenient.
