Greenhouse production and installation: a profitable business for the summer season. Greenhouse equipment Greenhouse equipment

The production of polycarbonate greenhouses as a business can have a great return, the profitability indicators of finished structures exceed 100%. The advantage lies in the fact that small businesses are also interested in purchasing them, due to the increasing demand of the population for natural products, and business of an industrial scale.

It is not difficult to set up work in this direction, having the skills to work with the material, two people are enough for a start, and for a quality start, you need to develop a business plan.

1. Gable... They are most often made rectangular, the slope of the roof is calculated in such a way that the snow cover rolls off it under the influence of gravity, does not accumulate and does not deform the structure. Gable greenhouse structures can be wall-mounted or located separately from a residential building.

1. Arched... Due to the lack of corners, this type of greenhouse is characterized by an economical consumption of covering material, good light transmission and resistance to wind, however, the snow cover will have to be removed independently and additional equipment is required for this type of construction.

After choosing the type of frame for the greenhouse structure, you need to decide what it will be made of.

Greenhouse frame material	Properties
Wooden	Low thermal conductivity, environmentally friendly, easy to install. Of the minuses - it does not tolerate low temperatures, high humidity, prone to deformation during long-term operation.
Profile steel pipe	Does not corrode, withstands the load of snow cover, suitable for year-round use. Of the minuses - high cost and heavy weight, laborious installation - welding and bolted connections are required.
Galvanized corner	Simple and lightweight construction, protected from corrosion. Of the minuses, it is not stable, it is subject to deformation from snow covers.

In addition to the frame, an important point is what material the greenhouse foundation will be made of:

• Wooden from a bar - popular, easy to use, has a low cost and is mobile, if necessary, it can be moved to another place. It has an antiseptic impregnation, but upon contact with the ground, the service life will inevitably decrease.
• A brick (or stone) foundation has a long service life of 20 years or more, but requires preparation for laying and is highly costly.
• Tape. A complex foundation characterized by high cost and high demand, as it is reliable, durable and provides a flat surface. To make it, you will need to dig a trench (this will require wheelbarrows for transporting land), install the formwork, strap the reinforcement and fill the base with concrete (you will need a concrete mixer and a welding machine).

You can proceed with further steps to implement the business idea of \u200b\u200bmanufacturing a greenhouse.

Greenhouse production

If there is no way to start a large-scale business in this industry, then really start small. It is worth studying not only the process of manufacturing structures, but also their design, so that you do not have to attract additional labor at the initial stage, because to install an amateur version, it is enough to purchase equipment, and 2 people who are knowledgeable in business can quite cope with the task.

Equipment and parts for the production of polycarbonate greenhouses

The place of manufacture should be large, well-ventilated, most often premises are rented outside the city, its rent will not cost more than 10,000 rubles, you can start working. What equipment is required:

• Welding machine for assembling the frame and strapping fittings.
• A pipe bending machine is especially relevant when making with your own hands from a profile pipe of a greenhouse with an arched type of frame.
• Metal cutting machine.
• Concrete mixer
• Drill.
• Jigsaw for cutting and melting polycarbonate.
• Protractor, vernier caliper.

This is a minimal set, but some other important details are required:

1. Plastic thermal washers for secure fit and corrosion protection.
2. Galvanized tape - necessary when laying overlapping sheets in an arched structure installation.
3. Perforated plastic tape for end protection.
4. U-shaped end caps to protect the bottom of the structure.
5. The H-profile is detachable or one-piece for fastening.

In addition, it is required to purchase materials such as the sheets of polycarbonate themselves and a metal profile; in further development, it is necessary to purchase automatic irrigation systems, heating and lighting items.

Main steps

To install a greenhouse, it is necessary to follow the technology in stages, the installation of a standard greenhouse is as follows:

1. Arrangement of the foundation. It is produced depending on the wishes of the client. You can do without this step, but then the greenhouse can deform and become short-lived in operation.
2. The frame is also made at the request of the client, most often from aluminum or galvanized pipes that are not subject to corrosion, to reduce the cost, you can also recommend a wooden base.
3. Assembly of the structure: installation of the frame and sheathing with polycarbonate sheets.
4. Installation of additional elements: air vents, automatic irrigation systems, heating and lighting sources.

Business plan

First, you need to decide on the room, usually a workshop with high ceilings of about 4 meters, heating (production is seasonal and requires the most intense work in winter), power supply of 220-380 V, and the area should start from 40 square meters.

Let's say you received an order for a greenhouse 6m long, 2m wide, 3m high. First, let's build a table of the required initial costs:

Based on the initial data, we will build a table of costs for the greenhouse:

Materials	Amount
Polycarbonate 6 * 2.1m 4 sheets	7000
Galvanized profile20 * 20 * 2m	10000
Connecting profile 12m	600
End cap 12m	600
Thermal washer 300 pcs.	1800
Hinges 8 pcs.	150
Perforated tape 26m.	400
Roofing self-tapping screw	350
Total:	20900
Foundation	Amount
Lumber foundation 18 m	1100
The foundation is tape	8000
The foundation is brick	5000

If we take into account the market value of a greenhouse of this size - it is 25,000 rubles, then the profit of a greenhouse without a foundation will be 4,100 rubles. Consider the option with laying the foundation:

Installation	The amount of work
Tape	11000
Brick	5500
Wooden from a bar	2000
Assembling the structure	7000

Depending on the complexity of laying the foundation, the profit grows, the most profitable is the tape one: 4100 + 11000 + 7000 \u003d 22100 profit from the object.

Monthly costs:

It turns out 61700 + 68000 \u003d 129,700 expenses in the first month of work with an initial investment, if 4 employees, including the owner, will carry out permanent orders, a maximum of 15 arched structures can be installed: 22100 * 15 \u003d 331500 rubles. monthly income, tax deducted in any case, the initial costs will be covered in the same month.

Would you start a greenhouse business?

Yes interestingNo

Greenhouse production needs to be launched in the winter in order to have time to build up a client base and cover your initial costs in the spring, to make a profit. Good luck!

Every year, the demand for natural products is growing, which is due to the popularization of a healthy lifestyle and increased attention to their nutrition and the state of the body. In addition, there is now a significant increase in the number of farm stores offering visitors a range of healthy products that are supplied there, including from greenhouses. This means that the need for healthy food in the near future will gain momentum.

The greenhouse business in Russia is on the rise: new complexes are being built, production is increasing, as evidenced by the numbers. At the end of 2016, the total harvest of greenhouse vegetables reached 1.6 million tons, which is 10.8% more than in 2015. Large agricultural complexes increased production by 13.4% - up to 814 thousand tons, it follows from Rosstat data. In addition, market analysis shows that the sanctions applied to Russia encouraged the development of domestic producers, which is why there is a significant growth in the market for growing vegetables and herbs in greenhouses.

Thus, the idea of \u200b\u200borganizing a greenhouse economy for growing greenery is relevant. This business has the following advantages such as low tax burden, small initial investment, the ability to start a home business, the rapid growth of greenery and its simplicity.

The initial investment amount is 621,700 rubles.

Break-even point reached on fourth month of work.

Payback period - 6 months.

Average net profit: 203 000 rubles.

2. Description of the business, product or service

It should be remembered that the options for creating a greenhouse business are varied. You can create a greenhouse for growing:

• Strawberries. As a rule, the cultivation of this berry is widespread in the southern regions of Russia;
• Vegetables. The most popular foods are tomatoes and cucumbers. A big plus of the same cucumbers is that they are stored for a long time;
• Flowers. This option is more difficult to grow, because flowers require special care and the appearance of products plays an important role;
• Seedlings. In the spring, the demand for seedlings increases significantly - they are bought by both the owners of summer cottages and other farms specializing in crop production;
• Greenery. The big advantage is the short time between sowing and harvest.

This business plan will consider the option of opening a business for growing greens in greenhouses.

Among the disadvantages of organizing a greenhouse business, one can single out the high costs of paying for electricity, because a large greenhouse needs to be illuminated almost around the clock.

The following products will be grown in greenhouses:

• parsley;
• dill;
• onion:
• salad;
• basil.

Over time, you can diversify your assortment to include spinach, radish, sorrel, chives and other green products. As packaging for fresh products, transparent plastic containers and bags are used, which will preserve the fresh appearance of the product and give it a presentation.

The greenhouse works seven days a week, because plant care is needed every day.

3. Description of the sales market

The main segment of buyers of greenhouse products is not end users, but legal entities. The farm products are sold to the following groups of buyers:

• Grocery stores. Each store has a department with herbs and vegetables, this is where you can supply your products;
• Vegetable stalls. Nearby stalls selling fruits, vegetables and herbs are becoming more common now. In addition, farmer shops are now widespread, which also buy greens;
• Manufacturing plants can purchase greens for the preparation of their products (spices, sausages, semi-finished products, canned goods);
• Catering establishments (cafes and restaurants) also often use green ingredients in their meals. You can also get in touch with health food establishments, because their range is directly related to healthy ingredients.

The target audience of our business is stalls, shops, cafes and restaurants. At the first stages, it is inexpedient to cooperate with large manufacturing plants, because the productivity of the greenhouse has not yet been evaluated, and for such buyers an appropriate scale of production is needed.

4. Sales and Marketing

5. Production plan

Consider the main stages of starting a business for growing products in greenhouses.

Registration with state authorities

You can register a greenhouse business as an individual entrepreneur, LLC, or a Peasant farm. The best option is private farm, because the tax burden in this case will be much lower (6% of income). A peasant farm is a form of individual entrepreneurship; the state registration fee will cost 800 rubles.

Registration is carried out at the interdistrict branch of the tax service, documents for opening a farm:

• Notarized application for registration of a peasant (farm) economy.
• Agreement on the establishment of a farm.
• Copy of the passport of the head of the household.
• Receipt for payment of state duties.
• List of codes of activity of the economy OKVED.
• Copies of a certificate on the composition of the family (or other documents confirming the relationship of members of the farm).

Also, in order to sell products to retail outlets, you will need:

• Permits from Rospotrebnadzor.
• Permission from fire officials.

When registering a company in our example, the following types of OKVED must be specified:

OKVED 01.13.9 - Cultivation of vegetables not included in other groups.

Finding land and preparing it for exploitation

A medium-sized business will need a land plot of at least 250 sq. m. Many greenhouse owners equip greenhouses in their garden plots. This is a very convenient option, because in this case you will always be in place and be able to combine rest and work. However, if you do not own the plot, you can rent it. In this business plan, the option of starting a business will be considered, taking into account the lease of a land plot on which greenhouses and a utility building will be located.

The land should be fertile, while the site should be located near transport routes, because products will often have to be transported and a great distance can affect the cost of transportation. In addition, the availability of communications (electricity, water supply) and the average distance from the city (no more than 30 km) are important. The cost per square meter of such land will cost 80-100 rubles.

The plot can accommodate 5 greenhouses for each type of crops, the total area of \u200b\u200beach greenhouse is 40 sq.m.

Purchase of the necessary inventory and equipment

To work, you will need the following list of equipment:

Name	amount	Price for 1 piece	Total amount
Greenhouse construction
Greenhouse frame	5	45 000	225 000
Polycarbonate	14	6 500	91 000
Total:			316 000

Box	40	80	3 200
Overalls	4	5 000	20 000
Total:			31 200
Total amount:			521 700

5 greenhouses of 5m * 8m will be purchased, which will need to be assembled and installed. Also, the greenhouse cannot function without light, drip irrigation and a ventilation system.

Purchase of seeds and fertilizers

Seed costs are a tangible expense when organizing a large-scale business. We will consider the option in which it will be purchased:

• salad (price for 1 kg - 2500 rubles)
• dill (price per 1 kg - 1300 rubles)
• parsley (price per 1 kg - 1000 rubles)
• onions (price per 1 kg - 3500 rubles)
• vegetable basil (price per 1 kg - 3200 rubles)

On average, from 10 sq. m. of fertile soil, you can get 20-25 kg of onions and 15-20 kg of other products. In this case, you will need: 15-20 grams of onion seeds, 4-5 grams of parsley, dill and basil, 2-3 grams of salad.

The purchase of fertilizers is in direct proportion to the amount of land, so in our case it will take about 12,500 rubles. in year.

Personnel search

If there are not enough farm members, you will have to hire employees. In your business you will need.

In this material:

In some regions of the country, the production of greenhouses as a business is becoming very relevant. As you know, an important condition for making a profit from money invested in a business is the right idea. It should not only be relevant, but also correspond to the size of the investment.

In our time, there are not so many free niches for doing business. In any case, there will be competition. The main thing is the ratio of the demand for goods and the number of offers in this area. For example, to trade food, you can open a store anywhere, even next to other similar outlets. However, there are other options when the product is not so in demand, but the competition is low enough, so such an investment of funds will be very profitable.

Gardening is one of the favorite things of many Russians, so a large number of citizens dream of a high-quality greenhouse. Some entrepreneurs who practice growing cucumbers in a greenhouse as a business will be happy to purchase quality products from a domestic manufacturer, if they are also sold at an acceptable cost.

Features of the manufacture of greenhouses

Nowadays, when the popularity of environmentally friendly products is growing rapidly, the demand for greenhouses in most regions of the country is growing. For this reason, experts believe that the production of equipment for garden plots has great prospects.

Greenhouses can be used not only in small garden plots, but also on farms, as well as in industrial scale enterprises. Depending on this, the equipment will differ in the type of material used, size and accessories.

The greatest demand today is for greenhouses, the production of which is based on the use of polycarbonate. Experienced gardeners know how high quality, durable and convenient they are. Moreover, this type of greenhouse perfectly conducts light, but at the same time retains the sun's rays. One cannot fail to note such important advantages as heat resistance and low price.

Polycarbonate greenhouses are in the greatest demand. However, there is a demand for glass and even film greenhouses and hotbeds. They can be made on the basis of a frame made of metal or wood. It is on the material chosen for the manufacture of equipment for the garden that its cost depends. The simplest and most inexpensive are ordinary greenhouses on a plastic frame covered with a film. This option will be in demand among gardeners who grow vegetables in small areas. But the production of expensive large glass and metal greenhouses will be popular with large farmers who have been producing cucumbers and tomatoes for sale for many years.

Greenhouse manufacturing technology

To make a greenhouse, the business needs to be well studied. In fact, there is nothing supernatural in this, but you still need to have certain skills and experience. If a novice businessman has never done anything like this before, it is worth reading special literature and practicing. To begin with, you can install several greenhouses on your site, then please your friends with greenhouses, and only then fulfill customer orders and receive money for your work.

The process of making greenhouses begins with pouring the foundation. Further, on its basis, a frame is installed according to a previously selected technology. It is worth noting that before installing a greenhouse, you must first create its project in order to make the most accurate calculations. After the frame is mounted, you can proceed to the installation of polycarbonate, polyethylene or glass sheets and panels. They are securely attached to the frame with a special tape.

Thus, there is a quality room for growing vegetables. This process can be done all year round. For this, heating is installed in the greenhouse. By the way, the service for the installation of heating devices can be made part of your business in the greenhouse, expanding the range of work. Most often, electric convectors are used as heating in greenhouses, which are evenly placed in the greenhouse.

Equipment for work

To open your own business for the manufacture of greenhouses, you need to stock up on certain tools, without which further work will be impossible. First of all, we are talking about a device for manual bending of pipes. It must be high-quality equipment that can handle fittings, pipes and metal profiles. It is desirable that the tool be able to bend at a given angle. Such equipment costs about 15 thousand rubles.

Thus, the initial investment will amount to 60 thousand rubles, which will be spent on the purchase of equipment. But do not forget about the room for work. You don't need a lot of space here, but you will have to rent a small hangar. In addition, to fulfill orders, you will have to purchase material, namely a metal or plastic profile, film, polycarbonate sheets and glass. Heating systems must also be available.

Business profitability

The greenhouse all year round as a business of growing cucumbers, tomatoes and other vegetables is practiced by many summer residents and professional farmers. Experienced entrepreneurs say that orders come in quite often, especially during the spring season. The more clients, the faster the initial investment will pay off.

If we calculate all the expenses, then the cost of 1 medium-sized greenhouse is about 10 thousand rubles. At the same time, it will cost the customer already 25. Thus, already from 1 order, the manufacturer can receive up to 150% of the net profit. It is rare to see a greenhouse business with this level of profitability.

After completing 4-5 orders, you can return the invested capital and start earning a net profit. Roughly, with an average number of orders, you can earn this money in just a couple of months.

It is best to start working with small greenhouses for amateur gardeners. To make a large industrial greenhouse, you may need special equipment, the cost of which starts from 200 thousand rubles. But this is for the future. For a start, an enterprise should earn a reputation and advertise itself well. After the business begins to generate real income, this money can be invested in expanding the enterprise and reaching a new level.

Search for buyers

One of the most important issues in any kind of business is the sales market.

When it comes to the greenhouse, the business can be developed by focusing on gardeners and gardeners. They have the greatest demand for inexpensive polycarbonate structures. But here it must be said that the competition in the production of such greenhouses is quite high, so it is better to expand the assortment in order to increase the number of potential customers.

It is advisable to check the presence of competitors and the availability of this niche in a particular locality before investing money in this enterprise. To do this, you can flip through newspapers with ads, pay attention to poles and stops, which are usually full of such advertisements. By the way, it is the above methods that are the most high-quality means to announce your business to the whole world. Advertising materials can also be placed in shops that specialize in selling seeds and garden equipment and on the Internet.

If you produce greenhouses, the business involves finding clients, so you need to show people that it is your work that is the most profitable and attractive offer compared to competitors. All this must be described in advertising leaflets. An example is the speed of work or the convenience of delivery. A good marketing ploy, especially at first, would be a discount system that can be offered to regular customers or to those who "bring a friend."

Well, one of the important steps, without which a greenhouse business will not be legal, is the procedure for registering a businessman with the tax authority. You will first need to choose a suitable taxation system. In this case, any of the allowed for individual entrepreneurs will do. It is advisable to choose the option with a minimum number of accounting reports so as not to be distracted by paperwork and focus on the quality of the products.

Greenhouse production: we study the target audience + purchase of equipment + material for the production of greenhouses + stages of production + business organization + advertising + profitability.

The greenhouse complex is a special structure that is used to grow vegetables, fruits and other plants at any time of the year. Greenhouse production can be a successful business project, especially in rural areas.

You can reach a small audience i.e. to sell their construction at retail to villagers. Or you can take orders from large farms that need whole complexes.

We will tell you how to start your business in the production of polycarbonate greenhouses, and what profit you can expect in the first month of operation.

The target audience

Any business plan should start with a detailed analysis of the target audience. We must clearly understand whether this industry is in demand in our region, where we want to start our business.

Greenhouses are used more in rural areas or in summer cottages. There will be a great demand for this product in the south of the country, where fruits are also active all year round.

Nevertheless, other regions of Russia are also starting to grow agricultural products. This allows the consumer to buy a domestic product that costs an order of magnitude cheaper than a foreign product.

Let's define the target audience of the business:

1. Residents of rural areas or summer residents who grow vegetables for themselves.
2. Small businessmen who grow vegetables and fruits for sale.
3. Whole farmlands, greenhouse complexes. They deliver goods all over the country and even abroad.

Naturally, for each target audience the format of the greenhouse complex will have its own differences. For retail trade, summer residents will need a simple structure, and for a whole farm complex, you will need to equip the greenhouse with special equipment.

In our business plan, we will describe the production of polycarbonate greenhouses, which is necessary for rural residents or small businesses.

Equipment for the production of greenhouses

Polycarbonate is the most common greenhouse base. The material is cheap, but, nevertheless, it is durable and can serve its owners for a long time.

Polycarbonate is stronger than ordinary glass, but transmits light well. He is also able to retain heat in the room for a long time. High quality polycarbonate will last over 30 years.

There are 5 types of polycarbonate:

The first type is not suitable for greenhouses, it is the weakest and quickly deteriorates under the influence of weather conditions. The 3RX and 6RX are stronger, but they have poor light transmission. A suitable option for our business is 3R or 5R polycarbonate.

When choosing a material, pay special attention to the structure and thickness of the sheet.

Even one person who knows how to use tools can create a small greenhouse.

Equipment for the production of greenhouses - a detailed list:

№.	Equipment and description	Qty	Price, rub.)
TOTAL:			60 450 rubles
1.	Manual pipe bending machine, which is useful for making a frame from a pipe	1	17 500
2.	A pendulum cut-off machine that will cut pipes or profiles	1	23 000
3.	Professional jigsaw for cutting polycarbonate and melting the edge at the cut	1	8 000
4.	Drill driver	1	8 700
5.	Keys set	1	1 250
6.	Roulette, goniometer, vernier caliper	1	2 000

Such equipment is suitable for DIY production of small greenhouses. All tools are easy to obtain, and most of the listed items are available to every owner.

To sell greenhouse complexes, large farms will need to purchase an entire production line, which will cost a tidy sum - at least 1-2 million rubles.

Purchase of material for the production of greenhouses

The cost of one greenhouse will depend on the purchase price of the material.

For the production of a polycarbonate greenhouse with a size of 6 * 3 * 2 meters, you will need the following list of materials:

№	Material	Qty	Price, rub.)
TOTAL:			17,500 rubles
1.	Polycarbonate R3	20 m2	6 000
2.	Steel profile	120 m	8 400
3.	Self-tapping screws, washer and rubber gasket	5 Kg	1 500
4.	Profile fasteners	4 set	1 600

Production of polycarbonate greenhouses step by step

The entire production process can be divided into 4 stages:

Planning and preparation	First of all, you must schematically depict the entire structure on paper, indicating the dimensions and planning the shape of the greenhouse. In the diagram, we suggest you consider a greenhouse measuring 6 (length) * 3 (width) * 2 (height) meters. You can choose any other scheme for yourself on the Internet.
Assembling the frame	The frame can be made from pipes, fittings or steel profiles. The quality of the frame determines how long the greenhouse will last and whether it can hold polycarbonate. To make a frame from a pipe or profile, the base is bent to a given shape, and then the parts are connected with crosses or tees.
Fastenings to the polycarbonate frame	As soon as the base is ready, sheets of cellular polycarbonate are attached to it with self-tapping screws, washers and rubber gaskets.
Installation of a greenhouse on the site	To install the greenhouse, you will need to fill the foundation, but some do without this step. Doors and windows are attached to the finished structure.

On the Internet, you will find a lot of video tutorials on assembling and manufacturing greenhouses. For example, watch this video: https://youtu.be/6s3Ub1_nClo

This is an example of the simplest construction. To increase the value of your goods, you can install additional equipment that will enhance the effect when growing vegetables or fruits. For example, a steam generator, soil moisture sensor, ventilation, thermal actuator, etc.

Organizational issues for the production of greenhouses

Any commercial activity must be taxed, don't forget this. To produce greenhouses at home, you will need to register the status of an individual entrepreneur with the Tax Service.

To open an IP, you need to bring the following documents:

1. Application form No. Р21001.
2. Passport and TIN code.
3. To pay the state fee - 800 rubles.
4. Draw up a statement on the transition to a simplified tax payment system.

After 5 working days you will receive a certificate and an extract from the USRIP.

As a rule, summer residents begin to collect greenhouses, so production is usually located on the territory of a household yard. You can create such a simple design yourself. If time is running out due to the large number of orders, consider hiring 1-2 workers. It will be most beneficial to attract someone from the family.

Looking for buyers

We will focus exclusively on summer residents and rural residents. They want affordable and medium-sized greenhouse complexes. As a rule, summer residents grow tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, cabbage with their help.

Polycarbonate greenhouses are not a new idea, so there is already competition in the market. Come up with something unique and original, give a discount to the customer, offer free shipping, etc. You need to attract a client by any means, but not to your detriment.

Advertising can be placed on poles, especially in agricultural markets. If in your region there is a specialized publication such as "Summer resident", etc., then place an ad in the newspaper as well.

Profitability and calculation of profit for the production of greenhouses

Greenhouses are currently bought all year round, because many summer residents want to see only fresh vegetables or fruits on their tables. There is a special demand for the product in the spring, especially if there is already an established customer base.

According to our calculations, the cost price of a 6 * 3 * 2 greenhouse complex is about 18,000 rubles. The cost of such a structure on the market is from 25,000 rubles.

However, this calculation does not include installation services. As a rule, to install a greenhouse, the client must pay the same amount as for the construction itself. You will have to pay separately for delivery if the greenhouse needs to be moved further than 30 kilometers from the place of sale of the goods.

As a result, you can make a profit of 30-40 thousand rubles from one order. Just a few orders - and you will be able to recoup the expenses for the purchase of equipment, and then receive a net profit.

As you can see, the production of greenhouses will pay off after a few orders, especially if you make them in your yard without the help of hired workers. Over time, for profit from the business, you can buy powerful equipment and open a large-scale workshop that will produce greenhouses for the entire country.

In the Russian climate, greenhouses and hotbeds are often the only reliable way to get a good harvest. There are several ways to produce and install greenhouses - it all depends on your financial capabilities and plans.

Climate change in recent decades has forced the search for unconventional ways to grow vegetables and fruits. Growing crops outdoors has become more problematic due to deteriorating ecology, unstable weather conditions, the often uncontrolled use of chemicals, etc.

The use of greenhouses for growing crops was a way out. In addition, in the Russian climate, the greenhouse allows you to harvest much earlier, and often get harvests all year round, than significantly increase the profit of the business owner. Greenhouses are easily located in cottage and summer cottages, in summer health institutions, farms and even on the territory of industrial enterprises.

The production of greenhouses has become a promising business for the reasons listed above. Let's consider what it takes to organize this profitable and promising business.

Details of the business idea for the production of greenhouses

Consider several options for the "greenhouse" business. The meaning of such a business is the production and subsequent installation of greenhouses and greenhouses. A promising option for the development of such a business may be the production of winter gardens and greenhouses. They differ from greenhouses in the complexity of their design, the use of new materials and a much higher cost. However, the demand for such structures is constant, especially with good advertising and the reputation of the manufacturer.

Greenhouses can be built from scratch using special equipment purchased or rented. You can also purchase individual elements from manufacturers (supports, fences, stairs, doors, etc.) to complement your own designs.

There are three groups of greenhouses:

• individual;
• farm;
• industrial.

The differences between them are in area, level of equipment, process automation and, of course, in cost.

It is possible to manufacture greenhouses of the following types:

• with a frame made of polyethylene pipes and a film cover;
• with a frame made of wood and frames with foil or glass;
• with a metal frame and wooden frames;
• completely metal with glass.

Ordinary glass is not used for the manufacture of greenhouses, since it does not transmit ultraviolet light, which is necessary for plant growth. You need to use special glass or plastic wrap.

Option 1

Specialized enterprises produce greenhouses of various sizes, ranging from the smallest with an area of \u200b\u200b12 sq. m and 24 sq. m. The cost of such greenhouses starts at 20,000 rubles. An interesting type of business can be the installation of greenhouses on site. It is easy to transport the greenhouse: the frame weighs 50-90 kg and can be transported in the trunk of a car. The cost of installing such greenhouses is about 10-20 thousand rubles.

Option 2

Greenhouses are usually made independently from polycarbonate, pipes and plastic wrap. The easiest way is to make arch-type greenhouses, structurally consisting of arcs attached to the soil surface without a foundation. Transparent film of different density (depending on the customer's request) is stretched over arcs.

Installation of such a structure is very simple, the cost of materials is also low. To start a business, for this reason, the production and installation of arched greenhouses is unlikely to be justified. Drawings, frame structures, and coating materials will also be additional costs. A small greenhouse will cost at least 8,000 rubles.

Option 3

Novice businessmen can be recommended to start with the production of polycarbonate greenhouses-pavilions. These are tall structures designed to accommodate a person in full growth. Polycarbonate is durable (service life 30-35 years), with good thermal insulation. A cellular polycarbonate sheet is attached to a pre-prepared galvanized iron frame. The sheets are connected together with a factory sealed tape. For the installation of such greenhouses, it is often required to concrete the foundation. And this is an additional well-paid job.

The production costs of such a greenhouse are low - only about 10,000 rubles. The whole complex of works lasting 2 days with the cost of the greenhouse will cost the client about 25,000 rubles.

An additional advantage of such a greenhouse is the absence of complex structures that must be ordered separately. The client should be attracted by an individual approach to his order. A greenhouse or greenhouse of the required size will be made and installed exactly where needed. This is especially important for complex areas, where it is often necessary to install greenhouses near permanent buildings.

The specifics of the greenhouse business

To start work on the production and installation of greenhouses does not require large funds. If a production site with equipment for the production of greenhouse structures is not provided, then 70-80 thousand rubles is quite enough. The invested funds can be recouped very quickly if you have permanent orders.

Industrial equipment for the production of structural elements of greenhouses can be purchased gradually as the business develops. The customer base is the main thing in this business. It should be borne in mind that the need for greenhouses is seasonal. Advertising should be constantly present in specialized publications for gardeners, farmers, etc. Submit information about yourself in gardening associations, summer cottage communities. Place ads in rural district newspapers, radio, TV.

Maximum demand for greenhouses in spring and autumn. In winter, you will need to "switch" to winter gardens and greenhouses. Working with such structures is more difficult, so you can start it after gaining some experience with greenhouses. It is better to start a greenhouse business in February, before the start of the season. Thus, the invested funds can be quickly returned and invested in business development.
