How greenhouses are made in a factory. Greenhouse production and installation business

Becoming more and more popular. But in order to succeed in this matter, it is important not only to know the technology of their manufacture. The choice of equipment for the production of greenhouses is not the least important.

General information

Nowadays, people strive to eat organically. clean products. Most have their own dachas and grow their own vegetables and fruits. But they cannot do without certain equipment. Entrepreneurship in the sphere of providing such people with everything they need is gradually gaining momentum.

Country greenhouses are especially popular. They differ from each other in size, equipment and configuration. For their production they are used various materials. According to their purpose, greenhouses are divided into personal, industrial and farm.

Plastic structures

Polycarbonate greenhouses are considered the most common type, which is in great demand. This material is a great alternative to film and glass. There are a lot of advantages to such greenhouses:

1. The quality of the material ensures their long service life (about 30 years or more).
2. Conducts light well.
3. Protect from ultraviolet radiation.
4. Good thermal insulation.
5. Materials for production are inexpensive.

Polycarbonate is a practical material that is lightweight, ductile and durable. Structures made from it are stable.

Equipment for the production of polycarbonate greenhouses

The technology is as follows:

• frame is made ( profile pipe 20*20, 25*25, etc.);
• Using factory tape, you need to connect the sheets of plastic and secure them to the structure.

The tools used in manufacturing are as follows:

• welding machine;
• screwdriver;
• compressor with spray gun;

Parts are made in a utility room, for example, in a garage. Its area should be sufficient to install a machine for the production of greenhouses (cutting and processing plastic, for example). And installation is carried out on site, where the client says. This usually happens in the garden. A foundation is made for the greenhouse in advance and then installed. Although you can do without it. Finally, windows and doors are installed.

Is it profitable?

The cost of a greenhouse is 10 thousand rubles, provided that it is manufactured independently. All work takes about 4 hours. For a day of labor, minus expenses, you can get initial stage about 30 thousand rubles. All stages of the greenhouse installation process take 2 days.

The cost of installation is no more than 25 thousand rubles. You can install a greenhouse without a foundation. In this case, the buyer saves a significant amount. In addition, less time is spent on installation. There will also be expenses for heating (aluminum convectors that are installed around the entire perimeter of the greenhouse).

The profitability of this project is 100-150%. But there is one important circumstance: supply exceeds demand. As mentioned above, polycarbonate greenhouses are popular. Therefore, there is plenty of competition in the market.

Other types of structures

And yet, do not despair, because there are still many options in this direction. Some of them may be more expensive, but they also cost more. The demand for them is also great. There are the following types of greenhouses:

• the frame is made of wood, the frames are glazed;
• metal frame using wooden frames;
• metal structure covered with glass (easily transmits ultraviolet rays);
• frame made of polyethylene tubes, film coating.

Selection of equipment for greenhouse production

You can purchase the necessary equipment in order to independently manufacture parts of a modular structure (tubes, supports, fences, etc.). The choice of equipment for greenhouse production depends on your Money. Its cost starts from 200 thousand rubles. Wooden structures are usually assembled by hand and are expensive. If you do not have the required amount of money, then the components can be purchased from other entrepreneurs. On average, modular structures can be purchased for 20-25 thousand rubles.

To start this type of activity, you will need an amount of 60 thousand rubles - and this does not take into account your own equipment. If you quickly build up a client base, then in a couple of months these investments can pay off. In the absence of experience in this area, it is better for you to advertise in advance, go around farmers and gardeners and talk to them.

It is possible that they will agree to cooperate with you. The production of greenhouses is in demand mainly in the spring and autumn. Best months for starting a business – February and March. You can continue to invest the money you earn in your business. For example, in the choice of equipment for the production of greenhouses of greater power. In winter, you can work on winter gardens and greenhouses. But such a business is more expensive and complex than the production and installation of conventional greenhouses. The help of specialists in this matter will not be superfluous.

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.

Nowadays, 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 sell food, you can open a store anywhere, even next to other similar retail outlets. However, there are other options when the product is not so in demand, but the competition is quite small, so such an investment of money will be very profitable.

Vegetable gardening is one of the favorite activities of many Russians, so a considerable 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 affordable price.

Features of greenhouse manufacturing

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

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

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 delays Sun rays. It is impossible not to note such important advantages as heat resistance and low price.

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

Greenhouse manufacturing technology

To engage in the manufacture of greenhouses, the business must be thoroughly studied. In fact, there is nothing supernatural about this, but you still need to have certain skills and experience. If a novice businessman has never done anything like this before, it’s worth reading specialized 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. Next, a frame is installed on its basis using a technology selected in advance. It is worth noting that before installing a greenhouse, you must first create its design in order to make the most accurate calculations. After the frame is mounted, you can proceed to installing polycarbonate, polyethylene or glass sheets and panels. They are securely attached to the frame using a special tape.

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

Equipment for work

To open your own greenhouse manufacturing business, 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 bending pipes manually. It should be quality equipment, which can cope with fittings, pipes and metal profiles. It is desirable that the tool be able to bend at a given angle. Such equipment costs approximately 15 thousand rubles.

Thus, the initial investment will be 60 thousand rubles, which will be spent on purchasing equipment. But we shouldn’t forget about the work space. You don’t need a lot of space here, but you will have to rent a small hangar. In addition, to complete orders you will have to purchase material, namely metal or plastic profiles, film, polycarbonate sheets and glass. Heating systems must also be available.

Business profitability

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

If you count 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 25. Thus, from just 1 order, the manufacturer can receive up to 150% of net profit. It is rare to find a greenhouse business with profitability of this level.

After completing 4-5 orders, you can return the invested capital and start earning net profit. 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. To begin with, the company 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 type of business there is a sales market.

When it comes to a greenhouse, a business can be developed by targeting gardeners and gardeners. Inexpensive polycarbonate structures are in greatest demand among them. But here it must be said that competition in the production of such greenhouses is quite high, so it is better to expand the range in order to increase the number of potential customers.

It is advisable to check the presence of competitors and the occupancy of a given niche in a particular locality before investing money in this enterprise. To do this, you can look through newspapers with advertisements, pay attention to poles and bus stops, which are usually full of such advertisements. By the way, the above methods are the best means for announcing your business to the whole world. Advertising materials can also be placed in stores that specialize in selling seeds and garden equipment, and on the Internet.

If you produce greenhouses, business involves finding customers, so you need to show people that your work is the most profitable and attractive offer compared to competitors. All this must be described in advertising leaflets. Examples include speed of operation or ease of delivery. A good marketing move, especially at first, would be a system of discounts that can be offered to regular customers or to those who “refer 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 select a suitable tax system. In this case, any of those allowed for individual entrepreneurs will do. It is advisable to choose an option with a minimum number of accounting reports, so as not to be distracted by paperwork and focus on the quality of the products produced.

Greenhouse business plan: planning

It’s worth starting with the fact that greenhouse farming is divided into three main groups: growing vegetables, flowers and herbs.

How the business will be built in the future depends on the chosen direction.

It is believed that the latter option is simpler and more cost-effective than others.

At first, it will be possible to grow greens even in a greenhouse that you assembled with your own hands.

At the same time, the business of selling such products is considered very profitable.

Summary and Objectives of the Greenhouse Project

In the introductory part of the greenhouse plan, basic information about the enterprise is indicated: type of activity, location, information about the owner.

But business planning also necessarily includes the goals that the entrepreneur sets for himself.

For a greenhouse business, the goals in the plan may sound like this:

1. Organize greenhouse farming to meet retail demand in the selected region.
2. Establish wholesale sales of products to retail chains.
3. Scale up business activities by adding less common crops to the assortment for sale to restaurant enterprises.
4. Reach a profit level of N million rubles per year.

Marketing section of a greenhouse business plan

Although the greenhouse business has a lot specific features, you also need to create a marketing section in the plan for it.

This includes all analytical information that will help organize a profitable business.

Let's consider two main points - target audience and competitor analysis.

Who are the buyers of greenhouse products?

The plan typically analyzes who the average buyer is.

For a greenhouse, analysis of purchasing power in the region is also very important.

After all, an entrepreneur can select a product to grow based on the intended target audience.

Businessmen planning to start small and work only with retail should bet on simple, popular greens.

This includes green onions, parsley, dill, salad - standard set.

Also popular retail products include radishes and strawberries.

When the business expands, you can introduce additional seasonal product– seedlings different cultures in early spring.

But entrepreneurs who aim to organize a large-scale business should focus exclusively on wholesale sales.

For this purpose, cucumbers and tomatoes are mainly grown.

Another niche of consumers that you can target are owners of cafes and restaurants.

As a rule, they often have a need for some relatively exotic crops.

A businessman can take the risk of growing a couple of species of fancy plants in a greenhouse and thus occupy a narrow niche. The benefit is that the prices for such goods are correspondingly high.

Analysis of the level of competition in business

Competition analysis is an essential part of any planning, including a greenhouse business plan.

However, in fairness, it is worth noting that the level of competition in the greenhouse business is generally low.

For analysis, it is necessary to select all representatives of this field in your region. Their activities are considered according to the following points:

• What products are grown in greenhouses?
• What volume of goods are offered for sale?
• Are customers satisfied with the quality of the product offered?

When studying information, it is also important to take into account the demand of the population of the region or those areas where you plan to supply goods.

You need to approach the analysis comprehensively.

After all, even if you now have 2-3 large wholesale customers, there is no guarantee that you will continue to cooperate in a year.

In addition, you should always consider the possibility of expanding your business over time.

Greenhouse room

The description of the location and premises is of particular importance.

For example, if an entrepreneur plans to grow agricultural crops, it is important to assess the quality of the land in the chosen location.

Also in the additional information you need to indicate how close the reservoirs are and whether the water is of high quality.

What transport hubs or highways are nearby?

This is important to know because greenhouse products are often very difficult to transport (they have a short sales period).

So an entrepreneur should look for sales locations as close as possible to greenhouses and have convenient ways transport links to increase benefits.

Equipment for business in a greenhouse

In terms of the greenhouse, the entrepreneur must pay special attention to the description of the technological processes of organizing the work.

First of all, identify which greenhouse model will be used and why.

Technical aspects are described in as much detail as possible.

Note who will be involved installation work, and how much will it be.

It would be a good idea to note why this particular company was chosen and provide examples of their successful work.

This is important when, with the help of a plan, an entrepreneur is trying to attract investors or obtain credit funds.

Greenhouse staff

Greenhouse business plan should include detailed information about the staff.

The entrepreneur lists in the document the names of positions, the number of employees, and their job responsibilities.

Financial information must also be indicated: salary for the year, possible bonus payments and planned rate increases.

Subsequently, the plan is supplemented with an established work schedule and even a vacation schedule.

Opening schedule

The calendar plan is drawn up so that the entrepreneur himself and investors can track the organization process.

Is everything going according to schedule and have any steps been forgotten?

The schedule acts as a guideline that you need to return to from time to time.

Event	1 month	2 months	3 months
Conclusion of a land lease agreement
Purchase and installation of greenhouses
Installation of additional lighting, ventilation, heating, watering
Search and recruitment of personnel
Purchase of seeds, soil, chemicals
Beginning of work

Financial section of a greenhouse business plan

The financial section is the most important part of any business planning. The greenhouse growing plan is no exception.

Costs of starting a greenhouse business

The costs of starting a greenhouse business will not scare you with numerous zeros in the final amount.

Moreover, you can start small: build a greenhouse with your own hands, and instead of an irrigation system, purchase an ordinary garden hose for 1,000 rubles.

This approach will allow you to start a business with minimal investment.

Current monthly expenses for greenhouse business

It is important for an entrepreneur to remember: in addition to the costs of organizing, there will also be expenses for its maintenance and development.

All these points need to be listed in the business plan.

The video below provides an example of a successful greenhouse business:

Payback period for a greenhouse business

Although Agriculture Although not a particularly booming industry these days, this business can generate high profits.

If you maintain profitability at the level of 15-20%, the investment will pay off in 1-3 years.

The payback period depends on the size of capital investment, the scale of the business, as well as the selected type of product.

For example, for a flower business, an entrepreneur will need to invest 3-4 times more money than in.

At the same time, growing vegetables turns out to be 3-4 times less profitable than growing greens!

The final choice of products remains, of course, with the entrepreneur.

The main thing is to think through and record in greenhouse business plan all essential details.

In conditions of constant rise in food prices, many owners of private houses and summer cottages are thinking about growing vegetables, herbs, and berries. Sometimes this hobby turns into business. But to take it to a qualitatively new level, you will need a good greenhouse space. That is why the production of greenhouses is a popular idea that can bring good profits.

Features of greenhouse buildings

According to their purpose, greenhouses are divided into three types:

• industrial;
• amateur;
• farmer's

Also distinguished various designs and dimensions.

Structurally, greenhouses are divided into:

• arched;
• single and double sloped.

It is recommended to start the production of industrial greenhouses with the choice of material. Of all the variety of products on the market, those made of polycarbonate are the most in demand. The material is durable and for a long time operation. A few more positive properties:

• Beneficial waves of the spectrum of sunlight penetrate through the surface, but harmful ones are retained;
• affordable price.

A less popular material is glass: it is more fragile, has a high cost and is heavy. The last factor requires the construction of a solid, reliable foundation.

Industrial film greenhouses are a kind of middle option. Polyethylene film has been used for many years. The structure, covered with film, warms up quite quickly. It does not require high-strength foundations. Conditions suitable for plant growth are maintained until the temperature external environment will drop to –2°C.

What you need to get started

To start making greenhouses for sale, you will need. Any greenhouse consists of a frame and a cover.

To produce polycarbonate greenhouses, you will need a large area. Equipment you will need:

• welding machine (its cost is about 9 thousand rubles);
• “grinder” or grinder;
• compressor equipped with a spray gun;
• pipe bender;
• screwdriver

Pipe bender is special equipment for the production of greenhouses. As the name implies, it is used to give the profile the required shape according to design features greenhouse The device can be mechanical or manual. Purchasing the latter option is justified if production volumes are small.

Making a cover

Most greenhouses today are covered with polycarbonate. This material is either purchased in specialized stores or made independently. Mastering this technology will make it possible to expand the range of products offered to consumers, for example, these are increasingly popular hydroponic greenhouses.

The line used for the production of polycarbonate is very complex equipment. Its cost is from 650 thousand rubles. The final price is determined technical characteristics lines.

What amount will be required

Manufacturing greenhouses as a business requires medium-sized start-up investments. The purchase of all the parts required to assemble one greenhouse will cost approximately 250,00 rubles. To start production, but not to involve equipment for the production cycle, the investment volume will be 60,000 rubles. This is quite enough to create a small workshop. If you plan to launch full-fledged production, then we are talking about at least one million rubles.

Benefits and challenges

The profitability of a business under favorable circumstances is 100%. However, this depends on whether the entrepreneur manages to find his niche. There is already high competition in the greenhouse manufacturing market.

Organizing the production of greenhouses as a business makes sense only in those regions where entrepreneurial activity in greenhouse cultivation is already actively developed, since the transportation of finished products to the regions affects the final cost of the structures, which makes it difficult to sell at a price that is profitable for the manufacturer and affordable for the buyer.

As a rule, installing a greenhouse - payable service. To positively influence the profitability of an enterprise, some businessmen announce promotions. Their essence is that the client gets the opportunity to get the installation and delivery of the greenhouse absolutely free.

We are establishing a sales market

In order for the production of greenhouses to generate income, the entrepreneur must carefully study the market for agricultural products before starting production. The basis for analysis can be:

• local newspapers;
• bulletin boards;
• Internet portals by profile.

When starting a business, you should understand that the activity has seasonal relevance - during the summer season. Buying activity occurs in two seasons – spring and autumn. In winter, individual entrepreneurs switch to the production of greenhouses. However, these products are characterized by increased cost and an extremely narrow range of potential consumers.

In the Russian climate, greenhouses and greenhouses often become the only reliable way to obtain 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 us to look for unconventional ways to grow vegetables and fruits. Grow crops in open ground has become more problematic due to the deteriorating environment, unstable weather conditions, often uncontrolled use of chemicals, etc.

Using greenhouses to grow crops became a way out. In addition, in the Russian climate, a greenhouse allows you to harvest the crop much earlier, and often get harvests all year round, which significantly increases the profit of the business owner. Greenhouses are easily placed on cottage and summer cottages, in summer health centers, farms and even on the territory of industrial enterprises.

Due to the above reasons, the production of greenhouses has become a promising type of business. Let's consider what is needed to organize this profitable and promising business.

Details of the business idea for greenhouse production

Let's consider several options for a “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 could 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 manufacturing company.

Greenhouses can be made 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, cost.

It is possible to manufacture the following types of greenhouses:

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

Ordinary glass is not used to make greenhouses because it does not transmit ultraviolet radiation, which is necessary for plant growth. You need to use special glass or plastic film.

Option 1

Specialized enterprises produce greenhouses of various sizes, ranging from the smallest with an area of ​​12 square meters. m and 24 sq. m. The cost of such greenhouses starts from 20,000 rubles. An interesting type of business could be the installation of greenhouses on site. Transporting the greenhouse is easy: 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 from polycarbonate, pipes and polyethylene film. The easiest way to make greenhouses is of the arched type, structurally consisting of arches attached to the soil surface without a foundation. Transparent film of different densities (depending on the customer’s wishes) is stretched over the arcs.

Installation of this design 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. Additional costs will also include drawings, frame structures and covering materials. A small greenhouse will cost at least 8,000 rubles.

Option 3

Beginning businessmen can be recommended to start with the production of greenhouse pavilions made of polycarbonate. These are tall structures designed to accommodate a full-length person. Polycarbonate is durable (service life 30-35 years), with good thermal insulation. A sheet of cellular polycarbonate is attached to a pre-prepared frame made of galvanized iron. The sheets are connected to each other with factory sealed tape. To install such greenhouses, it is often necessary 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 entire complex of work lasting 2 days with the cost of the greenhouse will cost the client approximately 25,000 rubles.

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

Specifics of the greenhouse business

To start working on the production and installation of greenhouses, you do not need 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 investment can be recouped very quickly if you have regular orders.

Industrial equipment for production structural elements greenhouses can be purchased gradually as the business develops. A customer base is the main thing you need in this business. It will be necessary to take into account that the need for greenhouses is seasonal. Advertising should always be present in specialized publications for gardeners, farmers, etc. Place information about yourself in gardening associations and dacha communities. Place advertisements in rural regional newspapers, radio, TV.

The maximum demand for greenhouses is in spring and autumn. In winter you will need to “switch” to winter gardens and greenhouses. Working with such structures is more complex, so you can start it after gaining some experience working with greenhouses. Start off greenhouse business better in February, before the start of the season. In this way, the invested funds can be quickly returned and invested in business development.
