Green houses that are on sale are either ugly or expensive. With a bit of planning, patience and diy it should be possible to make a nice orangerie from second-hand material.
Skills to acquire: mason, woodworking and perhaps glass cutting
Status: building it
Contents
The plan
- Search for free/cheap material on marktplaats. Bricks, doors, windows and pieces of glass are very often offered for free
- Make foundation, build low walls, build the frame, build glass walls
- Initially use plastic as windows. Replace the plastic piece by piece with (stained) glass found on marktplaats
- Monitor and act on stuff with raspberry pi

The frame was made with square vertical bars (6.8x6.8) and smaller horizontal bars (6.8x5). Right angle for cutting is 22.5 (ends of the horizontal bars. The shortest (inner) side is 105cm and the longest (outer) side is 110cm. The vertical pillars are 40cm below ground level. The first horizontal bar 40cm above ground level and the second bar 210cm above ground level. Bars are connected with metal corner supports. The vertical pillars are fixed locally with no-mix concrete. Windows were cut to fit the frame (again a 22.5 angle).
Electronics
- Raspberry pi with screen and a few buttons
Solar
- solar panel
- battery
Climate control
Heat exchange by blowing hot air into the ground during the day (and heat the water of the soil) and blow warm air from the ground into the greenhouse at night
- 10m flexible tube
- computer fan (perhaps two)
- temperature sensors at start and end of the tube
Sensors greenhouse
- temperature
- humidity (air)
- humidity (pots/ground)
- sunlight
- doors and windows open/closed
- webcam (time lapse)
- water level of barrel
See WeatherDuino
Actors
- alert when barrel is empty
- watering system
- open window when temperature and/or humidity is too high
- website with measurements
