Phase 5: Placement and structure of the greenhouse.
The structure of the greenhouse, as he appeared in the
previous sketch, it has been designed for an as practical as possible assembly.
It is clear of 5 arches that they will be those who shape the structure and
that will join with lateral bars for those who foresaw a few hookings in the
arches frontal and back for his placement.
After placing the arches frontal and back, that have
joined with some lateral bars to measure and to present the structure, place
other three interior arches, which have held themselves with wire, for the
present in a provisional way in order that it allows his mobility.
Later, there are placed the vertical bars that will
sustain the structure and will delimit his height. For it, we will have to
realize holes in the ground because the hardness of the same one did not allow,
in the first attempt, to fix them since we were designed.
We sharpen the banes with the radial one to facilitate
his introduction in the ground, and we proceeded to clear, first, the area of
the greenhouse removing and transplanting some trees and hedges that were in
the zone.
We proceeded to measure accurately the location of 5
pops that will sustain the structure to realize differently the holes with the
sufficient depth that allows us to adapt them to the structure of the
greenhouse and to placing the lateral bars that give the necessary consistency
up to obtaining the tool that allows us to fix the props.
To comment that we have had many problems with the weather, since
though in any photos it does not seem, during the dates of assembly we suffer continuously
bad weather followed several who did not allow us to construct the greenhouse
as we wanted since it was becoming impossible to be employed at such
conditions, having to delay very much his construction and take advantage of
spaces of the day in which the snow, the rain and the intense wind were giving
us small rests.
We fix the structure to the ground, compacting well
with stones and land in order that the subordination is very strong. We did
this because Monterroso's weather is extreme and, in numerous occasions, there
take place strong winds, rains, etc. That might demolish the structure in case
it was not fixed well and anchored to the ground.
Later, we fix the lateral bars to the arches of the
greenhouse. For it, first, we measure in each of them the distance to the first
arch, to support the equivalent distance during the whole path of the bar,
repeating the same step in all of them.
We reinforce
also with wire the hooking of the frontal and back arches with the bars to
prevent them to fall down, in the same way that we did previously in the
central arches, to complete, finally, the structure.
