A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerAraki Jakkan
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

If you’ve come here, you’re probably a farmer or someone with a home garden who’s considering installing a plastic greenhouse.

It’s essential equipment for dealing with rain and for shutting out outside air to protect your crops from the cold.

In this article, we’ll introduce DIY plastic greenhouse ideas!

It’s perfect if you’re thinking, “I don’t have much budget,” “I want something that fits my space perfectly,” or “If I’m doing it, I want to DIY.”

We’ve got options you can use on a balcony or indoors, as well as greenhouse-style setups, so be sure to use this as a reference!

Hollow polycarbonate greenhouse

I tried making a small greenhouse using hollow polycarbonate.

Hollow polycarbonate greenhouse

Hollow polycarbonate is a panel made by combining two sheets of polycarbonate, with a cross-section that has hollow chambers like corrugated cardboard.

Because the air layer is retained in those hollow sections, it has excellent insulation and is even used as a simple interior window material.

Using this hollow polycarbonate, you can easily build a greenhouse.

Cut the hollow polycarbonate to the required size, assemble it into a box shape, and bond it using modified silicone for caulking.

Using modified silicone will improve both airtightness and strength.

You can find all the materials at a home center, so try making one sized to fit your own garden.
