Reviews
Nina, 55 years old : I did a greenhouse last summer. I used improvised materials. She took the arcs out of the wire, did something that looked like a tunnel over the bed. Top covered with polyethylene. During the day, in sunny weather, I opened it so that plants and earth could breathe. I like this design in that it is easy to install and clean.
Alexander, 37 : Made a greenhouse of old frames. For the base used used door jambs and other improvised material. The store bought only a few racks, bars, screws, metal corners. I gathered the whole building in one day. It is already the fifth year. The harvest is good in it. Periodically I tint the frames so that they last longer.
Natalia, 48 years old : Last spring she asked her husband to make a small greenhouse for seedlings. It turned out a neat box, which can be easily installed and cleaned. At the top, the greenhouse is covered with a lid from the old window frame. Sunlight penetrates well through the glass. In warm sunny weather, the greenhouse opens, so that the seedlings can breathe freely.
