Small-size film constructions

Small-size film structures are convenient in that they can easily be moved from place to place as needed. Due to the compactness, such film structures can be used even for one bush, for example tomatoes.

To protect individual small plants, such as planted seedlings, glass or plastic transparent cans that are turned upside down can be used. Small caps made of wax paper or a dense polyethylene film are also very convenient. To make a cap, the paper or film must be rolled up with a cone and fastened with wire or stitched so that it does not turn around. The lower edge of the cap should be arched in the form of a collar 2-3 cm in size, which should be sprinkled with the earth when installing the cap over the plant, which will protect the cap from drifting by wind. You can also stick a stick, like a hairpin, through the top of the cap and slam it into the ground.

Small-sized film structures are arched and frame. Arched, or tunnel, structures are made in the form of semi-oval arcs of wire, vines, metal hoops, plastic pipes of 160-170 cm in length, which are buried in the soil for 15-20 cm. Set the arcs at a distance of 60-100 cmfrom the friend and connect from above on two sides a wire or a twine. On the frame stretch the film. From the ends, the film is tied with twine to the stakes, and the sides are sprinkled with earth. For convenience in work, the film can be wound on both rails from both sides.

frame film structures are distinguished by a wide variety of shapes, which are chosen depending on the purpose of the structure. To do this, it is necessary to make a skeleton of the specified shape and to stretch the film on it, attaching it with wire or nails. Small frames are covered with a film like a lampshade. As a material for making the frame, willow will suit, strong wire, rods, thin wooden

Miniature caps made of paraffined paper or dense polyethylene film serve to protect individual small plants. When installing the cap, its triangular collar must be dipped into the ground and dug in, so that the cap does not blown off the

with strips and rails. For the night, the film frame is better covered with an additional warming material: a cloth, a straw mat, a cloth cloth. Frame structures can be installed as a roof over an entire bed or used for individual plants.
