Review of the “Nurse” greenhouse from the Metal-Service plant

According to the manufacturers, since 2008 they have been looking for the ideal greenhouse option for Siberian gardeners - one that would withstand harsh weather and last a long time. This is how the famous Nurse Nurse greenhouse appeared - as soon as the design was completed, it was successfully tested at the Chaplygin Aviation Institute. After which it was “released to the people,” from which grateful reviews poured in, which is why the greenhouse received such a loud and pleasant name. And we will tell you more about it and its assembly.

Interestingly, the frame of the “Nurse” seems quite thin in appearance, but, as reviews from happy owners show, it is still quite durable. True, it is worth remembering that once upon a time “Nurses” of all types were made with a wall of 1.5 mm, but today you can already purchase one with a wall of 1.2 - and this one needs to be more protected from snow. In addition, the very first “Nurses” were still galvanized in the Sibselmash galvanizing plant, but today it was closed. But what primarily attracts avid gardeners to such a greenhouse is that, regardless of its defects, the guarantee is 100% fulfilled - and this is important.

History of the development of "Nurse-Clever"

Located in Novosibirsk, they produce several types of greenhouses: “Crabovaya”, “Bogatyrskaya”, “Room Nurse” and a large industrial one.

As the manufacturers explain, since 2008 they have been trying to create another version of the greenhouse, suitable for Siberian summer residents. The new model had to withstand harsh winters and last a long time. In 2010, after the successful implementation of the idea, the tested greenhouse was put into production. Thanks to rave reviews, she received her affectionate name “Nurse-Clever.” The design has received awards at various exhibitions and has been successfully tested by scientists at the Siberian Institute of Plant Growing and Breeding.

Characteristics of the Nursery greenhouse with opening top

But the developers didn't stop there. They managed to fulfill another request of the farmers - the maximum possible ventilation. In 2015, the “Nurse” with an opening top was presented to the public. As Revaz Zarkua, director, said: “The distinctive feature of this greenhouse from all those released previously is the fully opening roof.”

Choice of coverage

Choose the best covering option and frame material for you. After that, all that remains is purchase, delivery, installation and operation.

Types of coverings for greenhouses

It would seem that everything is simple, but already at the second stage certain difficulties may arise, and at the third it’s time to get confused by the abundance of market offers. That’s why it’s better to consider one product from a segment to see if it’s right for you, rather than choosing the right one from thousands of options.

Characteristics of the “Nurse”

This type of greenhouse, like other brands from the same plant, is characterized by increased frame strength. Almost all greenhouses on various sites are called durable. But if you evaluate it on a 10-point scale, the “Nurse” is ten strong, otherwise the model would not have withstood the Siberian snows.

The “Clever Nurse” is made from a steel pipe with a square section of 20 by 20 mm. with polymer coating. The arcs of the arched structure are located every meter, the thickness of the walls is 1.5 mm, the width of the greenhouse is 3 m. The length is 4-10 m, and it can be increased in stages.

Greenhouse Nurse-clever

Some versions of “Nurses” are available with a wall thickness of 1.2 mm. Therefore, in topics discussing the greenhouse, there are doubts about its strength. However, the owners of the new product immediately respond that such a frame seems thin, but in fact it is quite reliable.

Attention! If the purchased greenhouse has a flaw, for example, it gets crushed by snow when the roof is closed, the manufacturer promises to completely replace it.

Features of the greenhouse:

• fully opening roof. It opens with the help of a winch, which even seven-year-old children can easily crank;
• two doors and two windows at the ends;
• The practical polycarbonate cover provides optimal illumination and UV protection.
• Pipe welding seams are reliable. The polymer coating additionally protects against corrosion.

How to choose a place for a “clever girl”

To install the structure, you need to choose the right place. Manufacturers advise taking into account the following requirements when choosing.

1. The place should not be in the shade, which means away from buildings (at least 5 m).
2. The greenhouse is highly durable, but if a fallen tree falls on the structure, it will not be able to stand. Therefore, the greenhouse should not be installed closer than 3 m from the trees growing on the site.
3. The structure should “look” in the south direction of one of the long walls - this will allow the structure to warm up as much as possible.

What does an open roof do?

It seems that two doors and two windows are enough for ventilation. In addition, another additional transom with automatic opening has been developed, which can be used to complete the greenhouse. Why then an opening top? Let's consider all the advantages of the new product:

1. In winter, the greenhouse is filled with snow, which allows the soil to be preserved under a snow coat and prevents the soil from freezing.
2. The greenhouse will not break, because no snow load.
3. In the spring, when the snow melts, the soil is moistened naturally, which creates a favorable microclimate before planting seedlings.
4. In summer, pollination becomes possible naturally, with the help of the wind.
5. In the fall, after harvesting, the natural occurrence of leaves occurs through the open roof, which ensures that the soil is filled with a nutrient medium.
6. Abundant rainwater promotes the cultivation of vegetables as close to natural conditions as possible. This means that the taste of the fruit improves.
7. Windows and doors do not allow the greenhouse to be fully ventilated and create a draft, which is contraindicated for many plants. The open top promotes gentle ventilation.

Tips for installation and operation

Before you start purchasing a product, you need to complete several preparatory steps. First you need to decide on the installation location . It is advisable to choose a sunny and windless area. It is imperative to think about the size and shape of the structure. The dimensions will depend on the location and crop cultivation. After this, it is worth deciding on the choice of coating and frame material.

The design of a thermos greenhouse and its construction with your own hands

Specialists can assemble Clever Girl, but in this case it will cost much more. The easiest way is to install it yourself. The model is assembled according to the instructions. It does not take up much space on the summer cottage and fits harmoniously into the garden landscape. However, the independent assembly process is very painstaking.

It is recommended to install the greenhouse in open ground with a solid foundation . Special drill-anchors will ensure reliable fastening. It is best to locate the greenhouse with the long side facing south. Trees and surrounding buildings should not create shadows. You cannot make your own changes to the design of the product.

Upon request, Umnitsa is equipped with automatic windows and trellises for tying up plants. The window vent is attached to the top of the roof in any convenient place, but it is best to do this close to the middle of the ridge. All trims, clamps, stops and other parts must be installed in certain places specified in the instructions.

During operation of the product, it is very important to open the sliding top in time, as well as close it. The opening and closing process is very easy and even a child can do it. The winch used to open the roof works smoothly without any glitches.

Quite a lot of similar products are now produced in the country. However, the “Nurse-Umnitsa” greenhouse with an opening top is distinguished by its characteristics and the materials used. This allows the design to be used in regions with different climates, including harsh climatic conditions. The choice will only be affected by the thickness of the walls.

Making a greenhouse-thermos with your own hands at home

This greenhouse model lasts a long time, lets in a lot of light, which allows you to grow various vegetables and flowers.

Installation of a factory-made greenhouse

Judging by the reviews from the owners, installing a greenhouse is not difficult, you just need to do it in the right sequence. First, decide whether to place the greenhouse on a foundation or on a rectangular support.

Greenhouse frame diagram Tip. It is recommended to install the bolts from the bottom of the metal. Because the lower part will be installed on a foundation or support.

You can use whatever is at hand as a support. For example, a beam fastened with corners and self-tapping screws. Or bricks laid around the perimeter of the greenhouse. Then you can start assembling:

1. Assembly of the greenhouse begins from the ends. The end consists of the door block, as well as the upper, left and right end arches. They are fastened to each other using two end struts. The arcs and spacers are connected to each other with M6 bolts.
2. After assembling the end, you need to attach polycarbonate to it. It is better to use roofing screws for this. Then cut the polycarbonate along the contour of the greenhouse.
3. When the ends are ready, you can proceed to the roof. It consists of end arcs, intermediate arcs and intermediate struts. All elements must be connected according to the manufacturer's instructions. When assembling, it is better to use bolts, T-shaped and X-shaped fasteners.
4. A whole sheet of polycarbonate is placed on the finished roof base, because the kit includes 6m sheets. at 2.100. The sheet must be laid flat on the roof frame. It is better to fasten the covering with roofing screws. Then you need to fix 8 roller wheels on the roof.
5. Next, the greenhouse itself is assembled. Transverse intermediate struts are mounted on the ends of the greenhouse. When the greenhouse frame is assembled, it is attached to the base.
6. Trellis are installed across the main beams under the roof. They perform two functions. They work as a reinforcing element and as straps for tying tall plants. Polycarbonate is installed on the greenhouse itself on one side and the other. Since the greenhouse opens, a winch needs to be attached to one side.
7. The greenhouse kit includes stops, trims and clamps that ensure reliable opening and closing of the top. They must be installed in the designated places.

Attention! The middle pipe should be mounted exactly in the middle between the left and right edges. A small error can lead to malfunctions of the mechanism.

A neat, nice greenhouse, just what you need for a summer house. It doesn’t take up much space, there’s enough inside for me to have beds of cucumbers and tomatoes. I took it with Austrian polycarbonate Cellex Comfort, no complaints. I give it a 4 because the price of the model, in my opinion, is a little overpriced.

I noticed this model among my neighbors and I liked the function of raising the roof for additional ventilation. I bought the same one for myself and I love using it. A neighbor had a discount on this model. Delivery to the village of Zhivotino, Dmitrovsky district, cost 750 rubles. We also calculated the discount...

Greenhouse nurse clever girl reviews

Review:

Frankly speaking, I’m not much of a gardener; I hate going to the dacha in the winter to clear snow, and in the summer I always go on vacation for three weeks. Usually, in such cases, upon arrival, everything that was planted with backbreaking labor in the spring has a stunted appearance without watering. This fall we sold our dacha and bought a new one closer and cheaper, with a small house. I was glad that there were no greenhouses on the new site, but my wife demanded that I immediately buy at least one, right away in the fall, so that in the spring she would not be nervous about her overgrown seedlings. Then I set my conditions, I agreed to buy a greenhouse only with an opening roof, so that in winter I wouldn’t have to go clearing snow and in the summer I could go on vacation without worry, I’d open the roof and let the rain pour in, and in winter let the snow fall inside.

I spent a month surfing the Internet, looked at photos and videos of greenhouses with a sliding roof, read descriptions, delved deep into the topic and realized that each has its own drawbacks, some are too expensive, others are too complex, others are cheap but of poor quality. In general, I like to buy only the best and at half the price. As a result of a month-long brainstorming (I would have chosen longer, but time was already running out, winter was just around the corner), I chose the simplest and cheapest model of all greenhouses with an opening top, called Marusya. There were no reviews about it, my review will probably be the first, but I liked it the most. In addition to the low price, it is the only one of all greenhouses with a sliding roof that can be equipped with automatically opening windows.

What do its owners say about this greenhouse?

This is what especially pleases the owners of the “Nurse”: there is no need to dump snow in winter, the coating on the metal is good and lasts a really long time. And the “Nurse” has another little-known significant advantage: if it is crushed in winter (even due to improper assembly), it will still be replaced with a new one - this is how its manufacturer protects its reputation.

Let us tell you one secret: if you place the greenhouse sideways to the wind that prevails in winter, then the snow will simply blow away from it. Also, this is what pleases the eye of those who purchased the “Nurse” - welding without holes, even painting, and everything is quite easy to join without scrap.

Review of the greenhouse "MARUSYA" with an opening roof

This is very important for me, since I am at the dacha only on weekends. I bought a greenhouse 6 meters long, with the strongest polycarbonate that was included in the kit, on the Internet for a promotion for 31 thousand rubles. I haven’t found anything cheaper with durable polycarbonate, I’ve only seen one with poor lightweight one or much more expensive, I’ve even seen it for 60 thousand, but in my opinion they’re definitely not twice as good. I paid the guys seven and a half thousand rubles for the assembly. Actually, I like to do everything myself and at first I wanted to assemble the greenhouse myself, but in October it was already cold and it got dark early, so I didn’t take the risk, in case I don’t think I’ll make it in time over the weekend, and next weekend I don’t know what the weather will be like, maybe it’ll snow and get frosty will burst out. I watched how the guys assembled it; together they completed it in eight hours. The frame was assembled very quickly, but it took six hours to tinker with the roof. I think with an assistant I could assemble it slowly over two weekends. In total, the greenhouse cost me 38,500 rubles. I had to give up automatic vents for now; I didn’t fit into the budget; two pieces with installation cost about 6 thousand rubles. I reasoned that why do I need automatic vents before winter; anyway, the oil cylinder needs to be kept warm in winter. I'll buy it and install it myself next summer.

What can I say now about this greenhouse, it is very simple, just as I wanted, there is nothing to break in it. There is no senseless, in my opinion, double row of guides screwed one on top of the other to the roof to open the bottom of the greenhouse, there are no mechanisms, no winches, just a sheet of polycarbonate moves along single-row guides, pulled the handle - opened the roof, pulled - closed, everything is easy and Just. I wanted it, I opened one part of the roof, I wanted it, I opened it in the corners. You can open the roof completely, or you can open only the crack. If the guides break over time, I can easily replace them with new ones; they are sold inexpensively in building materials stores.

This greenhouse has ideal ventilation. In the summer, I will use the retractable roof only in extreme heat and when I go on vacation, and the rest of the time I don’t have to touch the roof at all. For ventilation, there are two huge windows on the sides the size of the floor of the door, I think they will be quite enough in a cool summer. The windows in the doors are locked with latches. Well, as I already said, there is somewhere to put automatic vents. The body is made of galvanized iron square 25x25 mm, so it will not rust from water. There is a one-meter span between the load-bearing arcs, and, accordingly, sliding polycarbonate sheets one meter wide. They told me that they make these greenhouses to order, and if I want, they can make spans of half a meter or 70 centimeters, but it will be more expensive. I don’t need anything more expensive, the meter suits me perfectly, the roof moves easily, without problems. They installed a greenhouse without a foundation, they simply buried long arcs with anchors screwed at the bottom perpendicularly into the ground, they said it could be installed on a foundation, but it would be 3 thousand rubles more expensive. I abandoned the foundation made of timber, I don’t want to breed ants, and there was no time to make a real reinforced concrete foundation, especially since I was assured that such greenhouses would stand perfectly well on a site as dry as mine and without a foundation. Now all that remains is to make the beds in the spring, or maybe I’ll buy them ready-made and ready for sowing.

There are relatively few reviews on the use of the “Clever Nurse” greenhouse on the World Wide Web. Maybe because the pop-up greenhouse became available to consumers only recently, in 2015, and its benefits have not yet been appreciated. Or perhaps this is explained by the fact that there is nothing to scold her for, but as the saying goes, “a good word lies, a bad word runs.” However, the owners who shared their opinions note that it is easy to open and close the roof, and the winch works without failure. And the fact that plants silently but eloquently thank for the warm summer rains and the fresh breeze is recognized by many commentators.

The roof of the greenhouse can be opened for the winter.

There are so many different types of greenhouses available today that making a choice can sometimes be difficult. Even after taking into account all the needs and familiarizing yourself with all the varieties, the circle of choice is not very narrowed. It’s another matter when a completely specific model with specific characteristics is heard. All you have to do is study it, read reviews and understand how suitable it is for you. This happened with the new greenhouse development of Novosibirsk, called “Nurse-Umnitsa”. People immediately began to call the model simply “Clever Girl,” and it very quickly earned fame as one of the best greenhouses.

Greenhouse “Nurse-Umnitsa” with a sliding roof

Stage three. exploitation

Everything is simple here - just remember to open and close the sliding roof in time. Opening/closing is easy, even a child can do it. A reliable winch works smoothly, without failures - this is noted by all users. They also note that the plants grown in the “Nurse-Umnitsa” express gratitude for the fresh air and sufficient moisture from the generous harvest.

Greenhouse "Kremlevskaya"

The Kremlevskaya greenhouse has long been known among specialists as an effective, practical, and very promising structure. It attracts with its durability, relative ease of assembly, and increased wear resistance. Read more here.

Not simple, but folding

In short, “Umnitsa” is not an ordinary greenhouse, but “with character and zest.” It deserves special attention if only because it has a sliding roof, which provides special advantages when used.

Retractable roof structure

The lid opens/closes thanks to roller wheels and special guides

It is not news for gardeners that greenhouse owners experience no less difficulties in winter than in the summer season. A greenhouse structure in cold snowy times requires supervision and protection. In spring and autumn it protects plants from the cold, but in winter it itself needs help. During the cold season, moisture accumulates on the surface of the coating due to the difference in temperature outside and inside. Due to the fact that the temperature outside is below zero, an ice crust quickly forms, which can damage the entire covering material.

Design diagram

If heavy snowfalls occur, and they are not uncommon in our latitudes, the roof of the greenhouse must be cleared of snow. Having exceeded the permissible load threshold or turned into a wet caked crust during a thaw, the snow layer will simply break the roof of the greenhouse, no matter what shape it (the cover) may be. As a result, in the warm season the structure will need restoration, which will entail serious expenses.

Study of the “Clever Nurse”

We will also divide the detailed study of the “Umnitsa” greenhouse into several stages. We will get acquainted with the new product gradually. First, let’s figure out what the greenhouse “can do.”

Photo of the “Clever Nurse” assembled

Exploring Opportunities

1. “Umnitsa” can regulate the inside greenhouse air temperature throughout the year, regardless of weather conditions, due to the fact that air enters from outside through the folding roof.
2. She is able to maintain a high level of natural light due to a design that has a minimum of details. The main element that occupies the maximum area of ​​the structure is a transparent coating. This fact cannot but affect the good growth of crops.
3. In winter, snow enters the greenhouse through the open roof. There is no need to spread it onto the greenhouse beds by hand. And in the spring it melts and moistens the soil with valuable melt water, which is necessary for the comfortable growth of future plantings.

Open sliding roof structure

Technical and user characteristics

1. The basis of the structure is a steel pipe with a square cross-section. Size 20x20 mm. A protective polymer coating that protects the frame from corrosion and ultraviolet radiation.
2. The arches are made according to the arched principle. The distance between them is 1 m, and the wall thickness is 1.5 mm.
3. The width of the structure has a fixed size - 3 m. The length starts from 4 m, but many consumers, after trial use, increase the size of the structure using special tabs provided by the manufacturer. The length can be gradually increased up to 10 m.
4. The design includes at least 2 doors and windows, as well as a roof that can be adjusted.
5. The defined arc contour provides excellent wind resistance, and the cellular structure adds strength to the structure.
6. The greenhouse covering is cellular polycarbonate, a modern and popular covering material.

Key features of the “Umnitsa” greenhouse

Advantages

Recommendations for placing a greenhouse

When choosing a location for the “Nurse”, you need to consider a few simple rules:

• It is better to install the greenhouse at a distance of 5 m from any buildings, and at least 3 m from any trees. The reason for such recommendations is that no shadow should fall on the structure;
• if the site allows, it is better for the greenhouse to “look” with its long side to the south. In this case, it will warm up better.

Greenhouse roof opening device

Features of the creation of the “Clever Nurse”

The history of the production of this greenhouse began with improvements. has been making greenhouses for quite some time. Among his popular developments, especially in Siberia, are “Bogatyrskaya”, “Crabovaya” and several more that are widely known, but in narrow circles. Following numerous requests from Siberian summer residents, the company set out on a creative search in 2008 and built a new, especially durable model, ideal for Siberian winters.

, Novosibirsk city

It took 2 years to test the product. Serious tests were carried out at the Siberian Institute of Selection and Plant Growing. Already in 2010, “Nurse-Umnitsa” was put into mass production. And then it turned out that harsh snowy winters are not only a Siberian problem. Summer residents across the country, even in the Moscow region, began installing the greenhouse. And enthusiastic reviews poured in from everywhere for “Umnitsa”. Thus, the brand quickly gained well-deserved popularity, and summer residents gained an ideal greenhouse that can withstand the harsh domestic cold without damage.

"Nurse-Clever" in winter

But the turning point in the history of “Umnitsa” was 2015 - it was then that the manufacturers thought of making a folding roof in the greenhouse, thereby obtaining:

• maximum ventilation;
• maximum hydration;
• incredible durability of the structure in winter.

The fully opening roof turned the “Nurse” into a “Clever Girl”, which is significantly ahead in its characteristics of other greenhouse structures.

A special feature of the greenhouse is its fully opening roof.

Assembling the “Clever” greenhouse with your own hands - step-by-step instructions

Manufacturers made sure that the installation of the greenhouse could be done independently, without the involvement of additional forces and resources. This circumstance also makes “Umnitsa” closer to the people. There is no need to call specialists or rely on someone else - everything is in your hands. You just need to follow the instructions and go through all the assembly steps.

Greenhouse equipment

Stage one. Foundation issue

Long gone are the days when the foundation for greenhouses was always poured with concrete or built of brick. However, when installing this greenhouse, which is particularly durable, you need a special foundation. This can be a classic foundation or a rectangle made from everything that is available on the farm.

Assembled greenhouse on a simple timber foundation

So, the foundation can be:

• brick;
• concrete;
• from timber

The last type of foundation is the simplest - you only need timber, screws and corners. You can fasten the logs with staples. The optimal cross-section of the beam is 100x100 mm. The beams, pre-treated with a wood antiseptic (such as “Senezh”), are connected into a box equal in size to the size of the purchased version of the greenhouse.

Then it is necessary to level the soil in the place chosen for installation and lay the base evenly on it. If it lies unevenly, the frame will also rise unevenly, and in this case the manufacturer does not guarantee the proper operation of the mechanism that opens/closes the roof. To level the foundation, it is better to use a building level. The beams are connected using brackets along the length and width of the greenhouse, as shown in the image. Accordingly, diagonally and horizontally everything should be smooth and identical.

Timber foundation

Having prepared in this way, proceed to assembly.

Parts for assembling the frame

Stage two. Assembly

The process starts with the end pieces and involves 12 steps.

Step one. Installation of ends. The end contains a door block and 3 end arches - top, left, right. End arches and spacers are installed on the door frame. The elements are connected by using end struts. Bolts and crab fastenings are used to attach the arches to the struts and frame.

Installing the upper end bow and end spacers

Fastening the side end arches

Step two. Intermediate and lower struts are attached to the ends using “crabs” and self-tapping screws. All of them are connected in series up to the second end.

Attaching intermediate struts

Step three. Polycarbonate is attached to the assembled ends. Self-tapping screws are used for fastening, preferably with thermal washers.

Cutting polycarbonate

Scheme of fastening polycarbonate with self-tapping screws

End covered with polycarbonate

Step four. The attached polycarbonate is cut with a construction knife along the contour of the greenhouse body.

Important! Fastening the polycarbonate can be done after assembling the entire frame, as shown in the photo.

Frame assembly

Step five. Mounting the roof, which is made up of end arches. They are attached to the intermediate arches using spacers for connection. All elements are fastened to each other with bolts in accordance with the instructions.

Assembling a sliding roof

Step six. 8 roller wheels are attached to the finished roof covering.

Wheel mounting scheme

Step seven. A polycarbonate sheet (entirely) is laid on the roof. Smoothly attached to the frame with self-tapping screws.

How should polycarbonate be attached to the roof (installation of the roof should be done at the very end)

Step eight. The “body” is assembled. Transverse struts are attached to the ends.

Step nine. The fully assembled frame is attached to the base.

Step ten. The installation of trellises is carried out transversely under the roof. They not only serve as a reinforcing element, but can also be useful as a bar for attaching tall and vine-like crops.

Installation of trellises

It may be better to secure the trellis in advance with self-tapping screws to the upper intermediate arches on the ground, and only then carry out the installation

Step eleven. Polycarbonate is installed on both sides of the greenhouse body. A winch is attached to one side. A cable is pulled from the inside into the winch and secured to the bottom of the central arc, which forms the roof frame.

Sheathing the frame with polycarbonate

End trim (if you haven't done this before)

Installing a winch on the central arc of the middle part of the greenhouse on the opposite side from moving the roof

Step twelve. Platbands, as well as clamps and stops that ensure the opening of the roof, are installed in the designated places.

The guides are bent into an arc and mounted on top of the polycarbonate

The stop is attached to the third tier of spacers on the winch side

The roof must be installed on the greenhouse, aligning the wheels with the guides

From the inside of the greenhouse, a cable from a winch is attached to the lower part of the central arch of the roof. The cable from the winch must be pulled to the roof, passing under the stop

Clamps are attached to the end of the greenhouse, taking into account the extreme positions of the roof

Note! The roof must be secured in both open and closed states.

Stage three. Exploitation

Everything is simple here - just remember to open and close the sliding roof in time. Opening/closing is easy, even a child can do it. A reliable winch works smoothly, without failures - this is noted by all users. They also note that the plants grown in the “Nurse-Umnitsa” express gratitude for the fresh air and sufficient moisture from the generous harvest.

The Kremlevskaya greenhouse has long been known among specialists as an effective, practical, and very promising structure. It attracts with its durability, relative ease of assembly, and increased wear resistance. Read in more detail.

Stage one. foundation issue

Long gone are the days when the foundation for greenhouses was always poured with concrete or built of brick. However, when installing this greenhouse, which is particularly durable, you need a special foundation. This can be a classic foundation or a rectangle made from everything that is available on the farm.

Assembled greenhouse on a simple timber foundation

So, the foundation can be:

• brick;
• concrete;
• from timber

The last type of foundation is the simplest - you only need timber, screws and corners. You can fasten the logs with staples. The optimal cross-section of the beam is 100x100 mm. The beams, pre-treated with a wood antiseptic (such as “Senezh”), are connected into a box equal in size to the size of the purchased version of the greenhouse.

Then it is necessary to level the soil in the place chosen for installation and lay the base evenly on it. If it lies unevenly, the frame will also rise unevenly, and in this case the manufacturer does not guarantee the proper operation of the mechanism that opens/closes the roof. To level the foundation, it is better to use a building level.

Having prepared in this way, proceed to assembly.

DIY greenhouse

Given the low cost of the simplest nurses, with the possibility of their subsequent radical modernization, the process of building such a greenhouse with your own hands seems somewhat doubtful. But if we are talking about improving consumer characteristics or seriously increasing the service life of a structure, it definitely makes sense.

First of all, we can talk about the frame material. If the greenhouse is regularly and effectively ventilated, then it makes sense to consider wood in this capacity.

• Firstly, wood is more resistant to static loads: it bends, but does not break, and after they are removed, it restores its original configuration better than metal.
• Secondly, it is much easier to work with than metal.
• Thirdly, with appropriate treatment, it can last longer than metal, and if you take larch, then many times longer.

You can also use polypropylene water pipes for the frame of the “Nurse” type greenhouse.

The only thing we would recommend to improve is their connection. The use of standard welding and standard components for such systems will be much more justified. At the same time, it would be rational to introduce either steel reinforcement of the appropriate diameter or its fiberglass analogue into the arched elements of the frame, which is even better. The durability of this design is beyond doubt. Also, pipes can be secured using the same crabs with various options for their use.

And finally, to stimulate your creative searches - a selection of options for replacing polycarbonate.

This coating will not last very long with constant exposure to ultraviolet radiation, but certainly no less than polycarbonate.
