How to build a greenhouse to a standard

A greenhouse should be designed taking into account the prevailing climate and environmental factors throughout the year. When preparing a greenhouse 60% shade net should be installed around the greenhouse as well as horizontally at a height of 10 feet from the ground. Also the roof should be covered with a UV polythene cover. Greenhouses can be arranged in different shapes and the three most suitable types of greenhouses are shown in the diagrams below.

01 . Arch Roof - Shape

02 . Double side Roof - Shape

03 . Single side Roof - Shape


When buying UV polythene from the market, it is available in 6m, 8m and 10m widths. The width of the greenhouse should be determined by the width of the polythene that can be purchased from the market. Can take any length you want. When designing a greenhouse, one must first determine which greenhouse will be set up and how wide it will be based on the location of the land, the environment, the ventilation and the sunlight. From one of the three diagrams above, you can select the type of greenhouse you want to build.

Choose a greenhouse mentioned above to suit the location. The single-roof greenhouse is the easiest to set up in any location in any province. Such a greenhouse Below are some pictures of how to make it.You can get an idea by looking at it. Since we use ultraviolet polythene for greenhouses, the frame of the greenhouse should be constructed strong enough to withstand the wind . The strength of the greenhouse can be increased by using one and a half inch G I pipes for the vertical pillars and inchs one G I pipes for the horizontal pillars. The greenhouse framework should be made durable and stronger with the advice of an experienced welder. if you need for further advice to contact phone number listed on the webpage.


When making an orchid bed, it is best to make it 5 feet 6 inches wide. But as mentioned above, even if the width varies by 2to3 inches, it is not so much a problem. Make sure the GI pipes and checks mesh are do not be wast. First you should be decide of orchid bed required width and lengthen then use inche GI pipe to make the frame. A stronger orchid bed you can be make by doing adjust it as shown in the diagram below.


Pull the 60% shade net vertically around the greenhouse with the help of tuvin thread from the top GI pipe and the bottom GI pipe and fix it first. Then install a shade net 9 feet 6 inches of height horizontally. Also install a shade net to door. after lay the UV polythene on the roof of the greenhouse and attach well tight it with of clip around the roof as shown in the picture below. Use green house belts and fasten the polythene tightly so that it does not escape into the wind.Tighten the soils around the greenhouse shade net so that small animals cannot enter through the gaps.In the pictures below a white insect net is used around the greenhouse but you should use a 60% shade net. The use of insect nets causes excessive heat in the greenhouse.
