The thermos hothouse has a number of very significant advantages over other variants of such structures, since it:
- perfectly transmits light , which allows growing plants in it in almost natural conditions;
- reliable and durable , manufactured using modern technologies from high-quality materials;
- has a particularly strong foundation and frame , allowing without loss to bear various natural disasters: rain, snow, hurricanes, hail, temperature extremes, etc .;
- Use as a covering material polycarbonate , able to distribute light and heat evenly across the entire area of the room, and this creates a special microclimate in the greenhouse, which contributes to obtaining high yields of different crops;
- has an excellent thermal insulation , and, therefore, a good economy of energy resources, which is very important in the conditions of the economic crisis.
But there are no shortcomings in such a greenhouse-thermos yet.
So, many are interested in how to build a greenhouse thermos with their own hands.
How to make a thermos with your own hands?
The works on the independent construction of the thermos hothouse are rather complicated. However, having bought the necessary details and mastered the technology, you can achieve a result in this difficult matter.
The main difference between the thermos hothouse and other types of such structures is that most of it should be hidden underground. This is what gives it the thermos effect.
The work should begin with digging a pit for a greenhouse with a depth of about 2 meters. Thanks to this, the hothouse will not freeze even in severe frost.
After that, along the perimeter of the excavation, concrete blocks are laid, which will serve as the foundation for the greenhouse. The foundation must be well established.
Now came the turn of the construction of the upper part of our greenhouse. On the foundation should be installed a metal frame, to which we attach thermoblocks: they will be
The next step is the installation of the roof (usually polycarbonate), which is attached to a frame with a crate. It remains to equip the inside of the thermos hothouse: to carry out finishing works, to remove holes with the help of plaster and foam.
From the inside, the greenhouse should be lined with a thermal insulating film, which is designed to keep the heat as much as possible. You need to put electricity in the room, make ventilation, take care of automatic watering, prepare the soil for planting. And here is your greenhouse-thermos ready to work and bring you excellent harvests!
