A new generation farming model for all regions of Russia and Siberia.
The Fermerskaya Agro greenhouse is one of the most common polycarbonate models among agronomists. The frame is based on a factory-made double galvanized pipe 40×20mm+40×20mm, a solid double arc, thanks to which the structure will withstand snow mass and strong gusts of wind.
Tsarsky Farmer (farm) comes complete with premium polycarbonate from 4 mm thick.
The distinctive features of this greenhouse are: quick assembly and low price compared to similar farm and industrial models from other manufacturers (if you take into account the size, which is especially important).
Patented fasteners - stronger than welding
The frame around the perimeter is secured with a crab system, which makes the structure even more rigid. The crab system is intended, first of all, to strengthen structural units and ensure stability on load elements.
Complete with “Tsarsky Farmer” or “Farmerskaya Agro” there are two windows and two doors. Hurry up to buy at a very competitive price from the manufacturer in Moscow.
To install the structure, you need to provide a foundation, for example, timber, foam blocks, strip foundations, screw piles.
As experience shows, the service life of the Tsarsky Farmer greenhouse is more than 20 years, thanks to its successful design and crab system. Thus, we can say with one hundred percent confidence that the Farmer will serve you for the maximum amount of time.

1. Tell me the height of the straight wall before the transition.
The height of the straight wall of the Tsarsky Farmer is 195 cm, which allows you to make hanging beds and a two-level hydroponic growing system.
2. Why is it called Farmer?
This type of industrial forms (Farmer, Agronomist) are most suitable for constant cultivation in any conditions, occupying every useful centimeter of soil area with plants. In our practice, there are quite a few cases of using the Tsar’s Farmer 5x100 meters - it turns out to be a tunnel greenhouse with different zones (additionally, partitions were installed) for various crops. In this way, you can effectively separate, for example, cucumbers from tomatoes.
3. What is the foundation for? Can I install it on the ground and that’s it?
A foundation is definitely needed. In the off-season, the soil is always unstable, which is why gaps can form in the soil and over time will begin to change its geometric shape due to the shifting load on other points. This can be avoided by a foundation (strip, foam blocks) or timber treated with antiseptic nonamide. To fix the beam to the ground, it is necessary to secure it with wind-reinforced legs; without them, the structure will be torn out at the first gust of wind.
4. Production time?
Production time is 3-5 working days (if made to order). Standard farm models are always in stock.
5. I need a project with heating and light. Are you doing this?
We can make a project, but the cost of the project itself is discussed individually.
6. Does the plant provide a guarantee for farm greenhouses?
Certainly! We provide a basic guarantee of 10 years on the coating (from the manufacturer) and 5 years on the frame, as well as on key key elements. If desired, the warranty can be extended.
Antropov's trench greenhouses, Ivanov's vegetarian garden, eco-greenhouse, solar greenhouses with heat accumulators. In this article we will look at the features of the device and the advantages of these unique structures.
Greenhouses are structures that significantly extend the growing time of various crops. They are needed everywhere. In the northern regions, it is important not to miss a single warm day, and every degree of heat saved is of the greatest importance - after all, when growing vegetables, you need to meet it in a very short time. In the southern regions, a greenhouse will help to cultivate plants almost all year round.
Unfortunately, traditional structures, which can be found on almost every personal plot, have three main disadvantages:
- When the sun is low, which happens in the morning and evening in spring, autumn and winter, its rays are reflected very strongly at sharp angles, as a result of which only 25-30 percent of solar energy can penetrate into the greenhouse.
- In the cold season, it is quite difficult to store and save heat due to large losses through the greenhouse covering, which leads to huge jumps in day and night temperatures - and this has an extremely negative impact on the development and fruiting of crops.
- Traditional greenhouses have direct ventilation in the form of all kinds of vents, doors, and the like. And it is through it that all carbon dioxide, nitrogen and almost all the moisture evaporated by crops, so necessary for plants for normal growth, escapes. This is why greenhouse beds need constant watering and fertilizer.
The unique principles of greenhouse construction discussed below help solve all these problems.
Trench greenhouses of Vladimir Antropov
The name speaks for itself. The basis of such a heifer is a trench with a depth of one and a half meters or more (it all depends on how deep the groundwater is in the area), the length is arbitrary, the width is from two meters. Brick retaining walls are installed on the sides of the trench, which serve as an excellent heat accumulator. To grow plants, high beds made of brick are used here - for a detailed description of their design, read the article “Organic farming. How to plant smart beds." Their main advantage in this case is that they actively accumulate heat during the day and gradually release it at night.
The top of the trench greenhouse is covered with a simple arched structure made of plastic pipes bent in an arc. The pipes are located at intervals of 1.2 meters and are fastened together by crossbars. The polyethylene film is stretched as follows: one edge of the strip is attached to the rail and dragged using two ropes to the other side. After this, the edges of the film are pressed to the base of the greenhouse with wooden slats using dowels. In order for the film to hold better, it is pressed to the structure with ropes thrown and well stretched between the pipes of the frame.
The vents in Antropov's trench greenhouses are doors located almost under the ceiling at both ends. Brick beds are made of such a height that their surface is located under the ridge of the greenhouse - this is the place that is the zone of stable accumulation of warm air. With this arrangement, there is no negative effect of cold air on the plants - it smoothly flows down to the floor.
The advantages of a trench greenhouse of this design are obvious. Firstly, in Antropov’s greenhouses, heat loss is significantly reduced; the high temperature here remains for a long time. This is explained by the fact that brick supports and high beds quickly warm up and accumulate a large amount of heat. In addition, in winter, the deep soil horizon gives off heat on its own. The relatively small volume and minimal area of wind blowing contribute to instant warming of the air. As a result, the night air temperature in such a greenhouse in winter is 8-12 degrees higher than in a regular one. I would like to note that heating is not used here at all. And on the coldest nights, to protect plants from frost, simply cover the beds with non-woven covering material.
Another important advantage of Antropov’s trench greenhouses is that the air temperature here changes smoothly. The heat transfer surface through the walls of the beds is three times greater than through the soil. Considering that brick retains heat perfectly, it turns out to be a kind of thermal flywheel, that is, excess heat is absorbed for a long time, and its deficiency is compensated for a long time. The air in such structures does not overheat until mid-June.
Ecogreenhouse
The author of the idea is American farmer Anna Edei. When organizing the eco-greenhouse, Anna used the ideas of the founders of the permaculture movement, based on the mutual adaptability of all members of a certain ecosystem to each other. We talked in detail about permaculture in the article “Organic farming. Permaculture - living in harmony with nature."
The area of the eco-greenhouse built by Anna Edei is 300 square meters. m. The structure is stretched in the direction from east to west. The vertical north wall is covered with white plastic and acts as a solar reflector. The roof is flat and slopes to the south. The side walls are made of fiberglass, and the roof is covered with sangein (a reliable transparent heat insulator), special attention is paid to tightness - all this ensures minimal heat loss.
But the main highlight of the eco-greenhouse is the symbiosis with animals. At both ends of the structure there are premises for their maintenance - on one side there is a rabbitry in which 30-40 rabbits live, on the other there is a chicken coop for 60-70 chickens. These rooms are also very bright and airtight. In the eco-greenhouse, a special system is constructed of perforated pipes laid underground, through which warm air from the menagerie is pumped into the greenhouse using a fan. And along with this air comes heat, ammonia, carbon dioxide and moisture. As a result, it’s good for everyone - the air in the chicken coop and rabbitry is cleaned, thereby feeding and heating the plants in the greenhouse.
The composition of the soil in the eco-greenhouse is as follows: turf soil, sand, compost made from chicken and rabbit droppings, ash. A clearly organized system of drip subsoil irrigation creates ideal conditions for plants, all waste, after collection, goes to the animals living nearby.
Anna Edei calculated that each “beast” produces as much heat per year as can be obtained from 10 liters of oil - saving on heating reaches 7 thousand dollars a year.
Among other things, a large amount of heat in an eco-greenhouse is accumulated in water. The total volume of installed water tanks is about 16 tons, and special fans are mounted under the ceiling, powered by solar panels and automatically turning on in sunny weather. They drive hot air down onto containers of water, fenced off during the day from the beds with plants by a curtain. During the day, these so-called radiators absorb a huge amount of heat, which they release at night. All water reservoirs are connected to each other by pipes so that, using a pump, warm water is distilled from above to the bottom - thus the entire volume is heated evenly.
In the summer heat, specially designed ventilation saves plants from overheating in an eco-greenhouse. On the south side the transoms are located close to the ground, and on the north side they are located almost under the ceiling. This allows hot air to slide up the slope and quickly escape. Containers with water effectively smooth out temperature differences; at night they give off daytime heat, and during the day they give off nighttime coolness, so ventilation is used only on very hot days.
Vegetarian Ivanova
This unique principle of constructing a greenhouse was developed and patented by the Kyiv physics teacher Alexander Vasilyevich Ivanov back in the 50s of the last century. The design of the greenhouse is thought out to the smallest detail and eliminates all three main problems of traditional greenhouses, which we talked about at the very beginning - lack of sunlight, heat loss through the covering, loss of carbon dioxide, moisture and nitrogen as a result of direct ventilation. Let's talk about everything in order.
It is necessary to build a vegetarian garden on a slope (15-20 degrees). The slope can be natural or artificial, but it must slope towards the south-east or south. Approximate size of the building: length 5 m, width 4 m, height 1.7-2 m. The flat roof and three walls are made of glass or cellular polycarbonate, the latter being almost ideal for this design.
The back wall is solid. This can be a suitable wall of the house or any utility room, whitewashed with lime, painted with white paint, and ideally covered with a mirror film. It plays the role of a reflector, doubling the incidence of sunlight on the soil.
Thus, a slope of 15-20 degrees, a flat roof and a reflective wall in winter significantly increase the penetration of solar rays, and the lower the sun, the more powerful the effect.
The problems of heat loss, carbon dioxide and nitrogen are solved thanks to an interesting invention, which is a closed cycle of heat and air exchange. Plastic pipes are buried into the ground to a depth of 35-40 cm, located at a distance of 60-65 cm from each other throughout the entire area of the greenhouse. Their lower (southern) ends are removed from the soil and covered with a fine mesh (to prevent debris from getting in). The upper (northern) ones are connected into a transverse collector, from which a riser (vertical pipe) is laid in the main wall. The riser does not go outside directly, but through a special control chamber, which opens into the vegetarian area at a height of about one and a half meters. Both above and below this chamber is limited by dampers, and at the exit to the greenhouse an ordinary household fan with a power of 15-20 W is mounted. This power is enough for 3-4 pipes, the diameter of which is 7-10 cm. If there are more pipes, then it is necessary to install another riser with a fan.
During the day, in sunny weather, the temperature inside the greenhouse is 30-35 degrees (even in winter). The upper damper of the control chamber closes, the fan turns on and sucks in warm air, driving it through the pipes into the soil. At the same time, the soil warms up, and the cooled air is blown back and heated again. As a result, over the course of a whole day, the earth warms up to a temperature of 30 degrees and becomes a natural heat accumulator, which lasts throughout the night. At night, a fan drives heat from the soil into the air.
A similar system is widely used in many European countries, especially in Scandinavia; heat accumulators here are not only the soil, but also stone walls, collectors inside pools, and stone floors.
Practice shows that if everything is in order with the tightness, such a closed heat exchange cycle gives excellent performance in winter without any heating. If in winter the temperature is minus 10 during the day, in the vegetarian garden it is plus 18, at night the temperature is minus 15 in the vegetarian garden it is plus 12. In the case of very severe frosts, an ordinary, not very powerful heater (1-1.2 kW) is inserted into the control chamber, with the help of which warm air is drawn in.
In spring and cool summers, a closed cycle in the same mode protects the greenhouse from overheating - at night, it is no longer heat that accumulates in the soil, but coolness, which cools the air during the day.
In the hot summer, this heat exchange system perfectly removes excess heat outside. The lower damper of the chamber closes, and the upper one opens - the fan simply expels the hot air from the vegetarian space to the outside, but carbon dioxide is also lost, so it is recommended to use such ventilation only in case of emergency. It is the closed heat and air exchange system that accumulates inside the greenhouse the amount of CO 2 and nitrogen necessary for normal growth and development.
A system of perforated pipes buried in the soil of the vegetation, in a closed cycle, allows us to solve the problem of loss of air and soil moisture. Such a system itself is an effective condensate collector.
When warm air passes through cool pipes, it gives off a lot of water, which falls as condensation on the walls. The pipes are perforated (holes the diameter of a pencil are punched every 20 centimeters along their entire bottom), laid on a thin layer of crushed stone or expanded clay, which allows water to freely pass into the soil.
So, when the closed heat and air exchange system is turned on, the water that evaporates from the plants and soil is forcibly returned back to the roots. Warm soil is moistened with warm water - nothing better can be imagined for plants. In the hot season, when there is a need to use open ventilation and there is a lack of moisture, a drip irrigation system is used in the vegetarian garden.
Another very important point is that the fan mounted in the control chamber is equipped with simple temperature sensors. The entire system turns off automatically when the air temperature in the underground pipes and in the general greenhouse mass is equalized.
Ivanov’s vegetarian garden is not just a greenhouse. This capital, unique structure is considered an example of technology for the rational use of solar energy. If the temperature outside does not drop below 10 degrees below zero, no heating other than sunlight will be required. Agronomists who have learned the effectiveness of such a greenhouse in practice say that the cost of maintaining the necessary microclimate in a vegetarian garden is 60-80 times less than in an ordinary traditional greenhouse. The vegetarian plant pays for itself in the first year, despite the need for capital construction.
You can save on heating by using the design of a so-called solar greenhouse (solar greenhouse), equipped with reliable heat accumulators. The design of such greenhouses resembles Ivanov’s vegetarian garden described above. That is, one solid wall, covered with reflective material, the roof and walls are made of reliable material (cellular polycarbonate or double glazing is best), which effectively reduces heat loss.
The main highlight of solar greenhouses is the subsoil heat accumulator, organized as follows. Based on the greenhouse area of 100 sq. m, a hole is dug in the middle 1 meter wide, 15 meters long and 1.2-1.4 meters deep, which is filled with pieces of granite or broken brick with a fraction of 150-200 mm. Brick channels are made along the entire length, leading out through plastic pipes with a diameter of 350 mm. On one side, a 0.1 kW fan is installed in the brick channel. During the day, the battery is charged with heat, which serves as heating at night.
So, we have looked at the unique principles of greenhouse construction, which help maintain an optimal microclimate for growing plants without extra costs. By building such structures, you will be able to grow vegetables almost all year round, which will provide your family not only with fresh vegetables and herbs, but also get the opportunity to organize an additional or main business that is very profitable, especially in winter.

They differ from the usual ones in their larger sizes, they use heating systems, which makes it possible to obtain several harvests in year. Greenhouse buildings occupy a significant area and, as a rule, have a large height.
Such structures can be multi-tiered and multi-story. For conditions Far North greenhouse buildings are being built with walls made of permanent building materials, in which only artificial lighting is used.
Large, fully equipped with electronic tracking systems and technology, greenhouse buildings are built in Holland.
The useful area of such structures is several thousand square meters.
These are real indoor plantations.
The cultivation of vegetables, berries and flowers here is carried out not only in soil, but also using methods hydroponics.
Then the plants are planted in a synthetic porous material resembling glass wool.
This material is supplied with minerals and water, selected individually for each crop. This technology makes it possible to obtain very high yields.
For Dutch greenhouse complexes Special equipment is produced for heating, watering, irrigation, and fertilization.
In such buildings, a multi-tier heating system and a heated floor are installed; the heating system provides for the generation and supply to the premises carbon dioxide, which is needed for plant metabolic processes during the daytime. supplied to customers all over the world.
Russian enterprises mastered Western technologies for the production of industrial greenhouses.
Russian products cost farmers and individual customers a lot cheaper imported, in addition, local enterprises that produce farm greenhouses make them adapted to the weather conditions of the regions.
Large volume industrial greenhouses allows you to grow plants on racks, hanging pallets, using several tiers. The number of “floors” depends on the height of the plants. Done in greenhouse buildings artificial lighting, which allows plants to receive more light in early spring and late autumn, as well as in winter.
REFERENCE: Industrial greenhouses have a large area, large volume, various types of heating and lighting.

Serially produced models
Large enterprises in all regions Russia develop standard designs for conventional and industrial greenhouses. They have created a series of projects and offer the buyer a large selection of products.
REFERENCE: when designing industrial greenhouses they are used SNiP 2.10.04-85
What types of industrial greenhouses are there? There are several types of professional greenhouses for the farmer:
- tunnel;
- multi-tunnel with gallery;
- block multi-span;
- garden centers.
Among farmers and owners of personal plots, the most popular are farm tunnel greenhouses. The series is developed by manufacturing enterprises based on existing building codes and regulations in Russia.
Industrial-scale greenhouses are produced under film and polycarbonate; different types of frames are used in the design. The cross-section of greenhouses can be arched, “Gothic”, “with straight frames” and “straight reinforced walls”. The width of the greenhouse building varies within 3.5-12 meters.
Farmer Series
Industrial greenhouses "Farmer" designed in compliance SNiP 2.10.04-85, they are intended for the industrial cultivation of vegetables, berries and seedlings. The frame of the farm greenhouse is assembled from a galvanized profile with bolts.
Dimensions of industrial greenhouses "Farmer":
The height in various models of the series is 3-4 meters. This allows you to grow both tall and short-growing crops by placing the seedlings on racks.
Greenhouses of this series are mounted on any foundation or on the ground in which racks are dug. The width of the structure is from 3.5 to 7.7 meters. The basic kit includes double-leaf gates, which are mounted at the ends of the greenhouse building. At the buyer's request, additional ventilation vents can be installed.
Greenhouses covered transparent cellular polycarbonate. The customer can choose the thickness of the polycarbonate - 6 mm (recommended), 8 mm or 10 mm. The polycarbonate is fastened with special “polyclip” fasteners, and the covering material is attached to the end walls with corner brackets. In the greenhouse "Farmer" vegetables can be grown year-round.
Where to start construction?
- Choosing a location.
- Selection and preparation of the project.
- Materials.
- Greenhouse heating.
Selecting a location
To get the most out of your investment, you need to have the right orient the building.
IMPORTANT: The best orientation of a long greenhouse building for areas located south of latitude 60°- from North to South. In the northern regions of the country, it is recommended to orient greenhouse buildings from west to east.
The construction of industrial greenhouses begins with the selection of a site. It should be as much as possible smooth(a slight slope of 0.04% is allowed). If hurricane winds occur in the region, provision should be made for the construction of additional shields and fences that will reduce wind speed. They will also protect the building from inflatable snowdrifts.
During melting snow and heavy rains, water should not accumulate on the site, which will flood greenhouse and destroy the foundation. Before starting the construction of industrial greenhouses, you should think about the water supply. The soil must be fertile Moreover, to obtain good yields, it is necessary to provide for the use of soil mixtures, natural and artificial fertilizers.
Selection and design of the project
Before building a greenhouse, the farmer and the owner of a private farmstead need to decide what he will grow in the summer and winter seasons. As a result, it will be compiled drawing of a farm greenhouse, as well as a list of requirements.
Experience shows that when building a critical structure that will serve for years, it is better to rely on specialists. In specialized companies, the customer is given a choice of dozens of ready-made projects that correspond to his wishes. Here you can buy a ready-made greenhouse in disassembled form and mount it on the foundation. Typically, businesses offer installation services.
Projects and drawings of industrial greenhouses: 
Materials
How to build industrial greenhouse? In order for the greenhouse to serve for many years, it must be mounted on foundation. The foundation allows you to securely fasten the structure, prevent the penetration of atmospheric water from the outside, and protect the crop area from weeds.
Any type is suitable for small industrial greenhouses foundation- on piles, block, point, slab, brick. For large greenhouses, a concrete foundation is usually made; timber is less often used.
Frame
For farm and industrial greenhouses they use durable frame arched or gable shape. The frame is assembled from a hat profile, from a profile pipe or from a corner.
The hat profile frame is installed quickly and easily, but this design can't stand it weight of heavy snow. If you decide to build farm greenhouses from a profile pipe, then the frame can be welded. The pipe has a round or square cross-section. This design also cannot withstand heavy snow weight.
The best thing is the frame from the corner(angular profile). It is assembled with bolts, without welding, the profile is galvanized and can serve for many years. This design can withstand the weight of snow up to 100 kg per square meter.
The frame is fixed to the foundation. For strength, use anchor bolts or pre-fixed studs. Such fastening will provide sufficient rigidity And strength, while the difference in the heat capacity of building materials will not contribute to the loosening of the structure in extreme heat and frost.
The frame can be aluminum. But the aluminum structure will be deform exposed to winds and heavy snow.
Winter industrial greenhouse - project:
Covering material
The following are used as covering materials:
- cellular polycarbonate;
- glass;
- polyethylene film.
Cellular polycarbonate
Currently, the most popular covering material is cellular polycarbonate. It is easy to install, is reliable during operation, and is not destroyed by accidental sharp impacts. This material will not be broken even by strong hail.
Foreign industry produces cellular polycarbonate of varying thickness (from 3.2 to 25mm) and structure. For small winter professional polycarbonate greenhouses, material with a thickness of 3.2 to 6 mm is used. Transparent polycarbonate is usually used for greenhouse buildings and greenhouses. The light transmittance coefficient depends on the thickness of the sheet and ranges from 62% before 83% .
Glass
The light transmittance of glass is high ( 88-92% for glass of various thicknesses). Greenhouse structures can be glazed with both window and greenhouse glass, which is much stronger. Dutch industrial glass greenhouses are covered with a special type float. This glass is cast into ready-made molds, which increases its strength.
Polyethylene film
Film Industrial greenhouses have been used for a long time, but this material has a number of disadvantages. The film is difficult to secure without damaging it. Winds stretch the film, it begins to inflate and tear, which is why it has to be replaced. Arched farm greenhouses under film, which are located in areas of strong winds, have to be covered annually.
Film farm greenhouses - photo: 
Heating
For heating In industrial greenhouses in winter, solid fuel, electric, gas and liquid fuel boilers are installed. They heat the water, which circulates through pipes running along the contour of the building and under its floor, fills the radiators. Thus, both the air and the soil are heated.
Industrial greenhouses can be heated by supplying warm air from heating electrical appliances. The room heats up very quickly, but after turning off the equipment the temperature quickly drops. In this case, the soil does not heat up.
Can be used to heat farm greenhouses infrared heaters PLEN. Heater panels are mounted under the ceiling; during their operation, mainly the soil, plants and structural elements are heated, but not the air.
Infrared radiation works just like the rays of the sun. Excess heat enters the air. This type of heating for industrial greenhouses Expensive, but very effective, plants thrive in infrared rays and produce large yields.
IMPORTANT: In industrial greenhouses with heating, there must be the same temperature at all points in the room.
Conclusion
Industrial greenhouses allow you to get large yields in a small area. The quality and quantity of grown products depends little on the weather, which makes agricultural technologies for greenhouses increasingly popular.

In the future, the customer can install electric fans for forced ventilation in the upper part of the end walls of farm greenhouses. It will provide any required volume of air exchange. Year-round greenhouses from the Volya company are thought out to the smallest detail!
Simple installation of an industrial greenhouse "Volya"
The sale of industrial greenhouses is not the final service for buyers. The VOLYA company offers turnkey installation and supervision services for Farmer greenhouses. The composition and cost of construction services are individual for each order, and are carefully agreed with the buyer. Supervision services for assembly and installation of structures for farms include:- practical and theoretical training of customer personnel;
- general technical and technological control over the progress of work;
- quality control during work performance.
All year round, people, residents of villages and cities, buy fresh herbs and vegetables in stores, and give any flowers for every holiday on any day of the year. But without farm greenhouses, this would not have happened.
There are 2 types of greenhouses - seasonal and year-round. Farm greenhouses are divided depending on the facing material (film, polycarbonate and glass). Each material has positive and negative qualities.
The most budget-friendly, easily accessible and easy-to-install option is a farm greenhouse made of film (not winter options). But the film greenhouse is short-lived, rarely survives the winter, you have to cover it with new film every season, and quickly breaks in bad weather. A more expensive material is glass. Glass greenhouses are installed on a more durable frame. In such structures, the air inside heats up much faster, so it is necessary to think about ventilation so that this does not affect the health of plants and vegetables. The downside is that if the glass breaks, it is quite problematic to remove the fragments and replace the coating.
Greenhouses and polycarbonate have the highest strength (up to 200 times stronger than glass), fire and heat resistance.
They have increased thermal insulation and low thermal conductivity, the lightest weight, high transparency, due to the porosity of the material, light is scattered. They are protected from chemicals when cultivating land. They are durable - service life reaches 10 years. Due to the flexibility of the sheets, the greenhouse can be given any appearance. The disadvantages of the greenhouse may appear if the sheets were installed incorrectly during installation, then ultraviolet rays will penetrate inside, which will shorten the service life. Also, due to the porosity of the sheets, if dirt or water gets in, the light transmittance will be lost.
Greenhouse frames are:
- Wooden;
- Metal;
Wooden frames are used less frequently, due to the need to constantly treat them with a chemical composition against pests and corrosion, so they are not buried in the ground without special insulation. Metal frames do not rust and are durable when processed once, but this support is the most expensive. Frames made of polyvinyl chloride (or PVC) consist of plastic that does not rot, does not require additional maintenance, is durable and lightweight.
Practical farm greenhouses made of polycarbonate
A farm greenhouse occupies a significant area and has a strong base and foundation. Due to the fact that the structures are quite tall, wide and have an entrance gate, this allows you to place various agricultural supplies and equipment inside. They can also be used as temporary storage. Farmhouse is a protective structure for a large farm.
Polycarbonate greenhouses have a number of advantages:
- Simplicity of design. Quickly disassembled and assembled, easily transported to any other place.
- The strength of the frame material, which can withstand large changes in temperature and humidity.
- Possibility of equipping a heating system that allows plantings to ripen during the coldest period. Multi-level laying of heating system pipes.
- The heifers are equipped with manual and automatic watering systems.
- Availability of artificial lighting.
- Low thermal conductivity due to the finishing material, which allows you to maintain constant humidity and temperature that plants need.
- Lightweight polycarbonate plates.
- High resistance and strength to aggressive internal and external conditions.
- Eco-friendly - the material will not disintegrate due to moisture or time.
- Thermoplastic - the polymer slowly melts at high temperatures, and when cooled, it hardens and restores its properties.
- It is highly impact resistant and can withstand greater weight loads than glass.
- Has a high degree of light transmission.
A new spunbond nonwoven material that appeared on the market several years ago is used in medicine, furniture production, construction and other fields. In agriculture, this material is used as a covering sheet or as a material for greenhouses.
Crops covered with spunbond protect them from pests, precipitation and frost.
Shelters on personal plots and cottages differ from industrial and farm greenhouses mainly in size. The use of greenhouses allows you to create and maintain the required temperature and humidity and install irrigation, lighting and heating systems.
Large farm greenhouse 8 by 20 meters
To become a farmer in the future, you can start building a small greenhouse of 8x20 m. This is the most optimal size for beginners. Such projects and drawings are developed by professionals, since production takes into account various manufacturing factors that a novice farmer may not know about, and, in their absence, mistakes can be made that will lead to disastrous results.
We have collected the best greenhouse projects in the material:
If we make farm greenhouses with our own hands, then only with the help of the necessary materials, such as:
- Polycarbonate sheets;
- Steel frame, which is made of hollow tubes;
- The foundation, which ensures the stability of the structure and secures it to the ground;
- Accessories, including all materials and drawings for operation and assembly.
The main advantage of a steel frame is maximum strength at minimal cost. Open profiles are used to fasten polycarbonate sheets. The foundation can be made of wooden beams, or it can be a concrete strip. Also, a massive metal structure buried in the ground can act as a foundation, but this is an expensive option, and it allows transportation of the greenhouse.
To assemble the greenhouse, no special skills or tools are required.
The assembly is carried out as follows - the frame is fastened with self-tapping screws, the hollow tubes of the frame are placed on the rods driven into the outer perimeter of the foundation, and polycarbonate sheets are attached to the frame.
Farm greenhouse frame options
A farm greenhouse can have different types of frames. The most common and traditional design has a gable roof. Industrial greenhouses use 2-3 roof ridges. Hangar-type or arch-type greenhouses and their modifications with a pointed arch are also quite popular.
It is much easier to provide ventilation with a single-pitch or gable structure, in contrast to a similar arched greenhouse. It is quite difficult to equip an additional window on the side surface, so many manufacturers are content with windows located above the doors on both sides of the greenhouse. If fresh air is necessary, then it is worth choosing other types of greenhouses.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that the steel frame of the greenhouse consists of lightweight hot-dip galvanized profiles. Using rubber seals, glass, and lighter aluminum profiles, an ultra-transparent greenhouse fencing is made. The frame is assembled using welding or bolts. If the structure is not welded, but bolted, then such a structure can be transported to any place.
