The step of arcs in a polycarbonate greenhouse is 0.65 or 1 meter - which one to choose?
The strength and durability of the greenhouse depends on several factors, including the distance between the arcs (racks) of the frame. This distance is called the "arc step". Ceteris paribus, the more often the arcs are located near the frame, the more reliable it is and, accordingly, a polycarbonate greenhouse with such a frame will withstand a large snow and wind load. From our experience, we know that the optimal distance between the arcs for a polycarbonate greenhouse is a step of 0.65 m.

Berries in a greenhouse
We are used to the fact that cucumbers, tomatoes or peppers are most often grown in a greenhouse. But what if we plant berries instead of the vegetables we are used to? Thanks to the greenhouse, favorable conditions are created for the growth of plants and the ripening of fruits. The greenhouse protects from bird raids, from frost and sudden changes in temperature, from strong winds and other adverse weather events. Moreover, it becomes easier to take care of the berries than in open beds. For example, in the north, in the Vologda Oblast, we managed to harvest strawberries 1 month earlier in the greenhouse than in the open field. We harvested the first crop in May.

Beds in a greenhouse. Comparison of materials and prices
To make it comfortable to work in the greenhouse, it is necessary to correctly and rationally arrange the beds. Their design will give the greenhouse a well-groomed appearance, and when watering, weeding and other chores, the soil will not lose its shape. Most often, gardeners make two beds on the long sides, along the walls. Using the example of a 3x4 greenhouse, we will show you several options for beds made of different materials, calculate their cost for September 2021 and share our experience.

Shelves and hanging table in the greenhouse
In our experience, we see that many people consider the greenhouse as a place intended exclusively for growing plants and try to occupy all the space for planting by making uncomfortable small narrow passages between the beds, least of all thinking about how to be and work in the greenhouse themselves was convenient and comfortable . We will write an article about the placement of beds a little later, but for now, about how, in the process of working in a greenhouse, sometimes there is not enough shelf where you can put garden tools, gloves, fertilizers, etc.

We buy a greenhouse in autumn, the benefits
Most gardeners believe that a greenhouse should be purchased and installed in the spring when the need arises. However, a competent gardener buys and installs a greenhouse in the fall. Why? There are several reasons: Saving your money. If you are waiting for spring to install a greenhouse, then a sharp rise in prices is possible in the spring, as the construction season begins, and, as practice shows, prices for metal and polycarbonate are rising, plus the product you have chosen is not always in stock so you have to wait.

Greenhouses 4, 5 and 6 meters wide, why buy?
Increasingly, customers are choosing greenhouses with a width of 4, 5 and 6 meters. What is the reason? Of course, greenhouses of this type are mainly used for growing large plants, and the undoubted advantage of these greenhouses is their high height compared to standard garden greenhouses, and this, in turn, allows you to grow tall tomatoes, grapes and other crops in more comfortable conditions. Thanks to the width of 4, 5 and 6 meters, the beds in the greenhouse can be arranged not compactly, but spaciously. For example, make a large medium bed and wide aisles or increase the number of beds in the greenhouse (more than 3 pieces). Also in such greenhouses you can install a table for working with seedlings, shelves for flowers and storage of garden tools.

The best greenhouse
When choosing a garden greenhouse, the buyer thinks - which is the best? Greenhouses come in various shapes: arched, teardrop-shaped, straight-walled or "house". They have both their advantages and disadvantages. For example, the most attractive "house" shape for many buyers is one of the most expensive due to its size and appearance. Arched - one of the most accessible, but at the same time not as comfortable as straight-walled or "house", as the arches "eat up" part of the usable volume. The exception is the Rublevskaya Lux greenhouse, 2.5 m wide and 2.3 m high (excluding the height of the foundation). Her bend of the arch begins high from the ground.
