Growing cucumbers in personal plots is common in our country. The vegetable is consumed fresh or canned. When cultivating, it is important to observe a number of conditions - absence of direct sunlight, sufficient watering and temperature conditions. Special designs help to comply with the requirements of the climatic conditions of all zones. Many gardeners decide to create greenhouses for cucumbers with their own hands using photo instructions and drawings.
The practice of farming led man to the creation of such a convenient way of cultivating vegetables (including cucumbers) as a greenhouse. However, on a site whose area does not exceed five acres, it is difficult to install such a structure. An alternative solution is a simplified version - a greenhouse. It is easy to create the required conditions for cultivating vegetables in the building. Creating greenhouses for cucumbers with your own hands using photo and video materials is not difficult.
A number of types of construction have been developed for independent construction. The difference between them is in appearance, size, building materials used and shape.
About the greenhouse - materials, pros and cons
The cost of building a greenhouse is higher when compared to building a greenhouse. The main reason is the material, which must have high resistance to external factors.
Do-it-yourself greenhouses for cucumbers are a stationary structure suitable for use regardless of what time of year it is. During construction, a number of rules must be observed in order for the structure to fulfill its assigned role.
Distinctive features of the greenhouse:
- installation requires a permanent location, there is no element of mobility;
- large in size compared to a greenhouse;
- a solid frame that allows the structure to withstand the effects of external factors;
- High-strength material is used for coating.
When building a greenhouse for cucumbers with your own hands, it is important to consider that people will be present in the room quite often. Accordingly, the requirements of safety regulations, including fire safety, must be strictly observed.
Required elements of the greenhouse:
- concrete base;
- frame;
- cloth for covering;
- mechanism for irrigation (usually a hydraulic cylinder);
- opening elements (for the purpose of ventilating the room);
- heating and lighting systems;
- doorway.
For additional convenience and ventilation, two doorways are installed in large greenhouses.
Variety of species
Do-it-yourself greenhouses and greenhouses should provide protection for planted plants from negative external factors. But in greenhouses, the coating material is assigned another task - illuminating the interior space and providing plants with natural light.
The second option for constructing structures for cultivating cucumbers involves digging a depression (pit). From above it is covered with any material that is capable of transmitting daylight.
Important - due to the design features, such a greenhouse is only suitable for growing seedlings. It is impossible to ensure full growth of sprouted plants.
