Among the stages of making greenhouses for peppers with their own hands, there are:
- determination of the place for the structure;
- purchase of materials;
- construction project;
- assembly.
Choice of location and materials
It is necessary to approach the choice of the location of greenhouses for growing peppers responsibly, the following factors must be taken into account:
- openness and sunshine of the area, the absence of irregularities, high and low areas;
- lack of buildings and tall vegetation;
- direction of the structure to the west-east;
- dimensions of the platform in width, length and height, respectively, 1m, 3m, 0.5m.
The choice of materials for making a greenhouse for peppers directly depends on the abilities, skills and capabilities of the gardener. You need to understand what period of service is expected from the building, what quality is required from its use. Considering all these points, making a greenhouse for salad peppers will not be difficult.
Greenhouse on a foundation
Bricks are laid along the entire length and width of the building, filled with cement.
The walls are being erected using old planks. timber. This is how a box in the shape of a rectangle is obtained on the basis of the design. Its upper part is closed with an old frame or a frame consisting of slats and covered with foil. For convenience, the roof is attached with hinges, it is created with a single-slope or gable. At a pitched roof, one edge of the box is made 20-25 cm higher. The height of the box is not higher than 40-50 cm, otherwise the crops will not have enough lighting.
Arc greenhouse
A greenhouse made of PVC arcs will last you a long time
PVC arcs are in demand among gardeners. They are highly durable, have a good service life and are versatile.
First of all, we choose good quality PVC arcs. Provided that in a greenhouse for peppers, crops will not grow to full readiness, it is necessary to take arcs with a length of 0.7 m. The width between the bases of the arches is about 1.5 m, the choice depends on the individual requests and needs of gardeners.
The process of assembling an arched greenhouse
The number of elements that make up the structure depends on the future size of the structure. It is assumed that 1 arc is designed for approximately 1 m of the finished structure.
The assembly consists of the following steps:
- preparation of a base from a bar or slats;
- fastening arcs to the base or their instant digging into black soil;
- length between sectors is 70-80 cm
- the top of the frame is fastened with reinforcement;
- the structure is covered with a film, fixing it with a stapler.
Greenhouse made of polypropylene pipes
Using plastic pipes, it is easy to create a greenhouse for peppers with your own hands. The foundation is necessary when creating a building for many years, but if it itself is needed for temporary use, we do without a foundation. A more reliable structure requires the use of wooden blocks for the frame.
It is also necessary to build a kind of foundation - a frame made of bars. Along the entire length of the resulting frame, wood reinforcement is inserted into the ground in the places where the arcs are installed parallel to each other at a distance of 45-60 cm. Pieces of PVC pipes are put on the reinforcement from both sides. Pipes are attached to the frame with fasteners. Cover the frame with foil.
The height of the greenhouse is regulated by choosing the length of the pipes.
Greenhouse on the frame
This variety is a structure of rack frames covered with foil or polycarbonate. The frames are mounted on a base made of timber or planks. The structure can be in the form of a house or a rectangular box covered with a frame. When using polycarbonate, the structure will last much longer in terms of time, albeit at a high cost.

There are many types of pepper growing facilities and greenhouses that you can build yourself. Making them with your own hands does not take much time and effort, and harvesting from all crops will be protected from adverse weather conditions.
