The greenhouse requires special care even in winter - before going to the city for several months, the walls of the structure need to be checked.

This is necessary so that in the spring you do not have to spend too much time on repairs and processing.

In winter, the main threat to a greenhouse made of polycarbonate and other materials is snow.

Let's pay attention to the recommendations of the expert of the online publication "Belnovosti" and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

What needs to be done

First of all, it is better to shake off snow from greenhouses to avoid deformation of the structure and collapse of the roof.

It would be a good idea to install T-shaped wooden supports inside. It is better to wrap the upper crossbar with fabric so as not to scratch the polycarbonate.

It is recommended to check the degree of adhesion of the glass to the window frames. It is better to seal any extra gaps using a special putty or melted paraffin.

If these materials are not available, you can stuff ordinary foam rubber, cotton wool or rags into the holes.
