So that the plants, which are a little more sensitive, can be protected in the garden, are often Greenhouses second hand. These are available at the hardware store. But you can - with the appropriate manual dexterity and craftsmanship - be built yourself.
This saves a lot of costs, since only wood and foil are required and still has ideal protection for
A tomato roof is not only intended for tomatoes, but also offers advantages for many other plants. It protects against too strong sunlight, because appropriate shade is guaranteed, but there is also a recipe against moisture through the tomato roof made of wood and foil. All that is needed for this is, in addition to the relevant materials, a construction manual.
That's how it works:
Knock the wooden posts available at your hardware store into the ground so that they are arranged in a rectangle. The rear posts can be set one lane lower.
The advantage:
Rainwater can run off more easily and no residue or puddles form. Then the posts are provided with the roof battens necessary for a roof. To make the whole thing a bit more stable, cross struts can provide additional support. Now the do-it-yourselfer attaches the foil.
More leeway with the tomato roof thanks to the self-made brand
Here you can proceed as you wish: It can be screwed on or stapled on. Attaching with nails is usually not recommended, here the foil can in strong winds pull out, especially if there is still a little space between the nails and the tarpaulin or foil is available. Tying them up is usually not very promising either.Conclusion:
it doesn't always have to be the tomato roof that you buy to protect plants in your own garden. In order to grow your own vegetables or fruits, it is often sufficient if you are active yourself and create a tomato roof. It can be easily built from wood and foil. In this way, you can determine the size yourself - depending on your needs - and you do not have to use a standard construction from specialist retailers.
