We will glaze the veranda with a film. Tips for the home master

Builder, home master

Your current house is almost built. It remains to glaze the veranda. But do not rush to buy frames and order glass - there is another solution, cheaper and easier. See what such a veranda looks like (photo). The openings are closed with a polyethylene film stretched between horizontal rails. The latter can be raised to the desired height, thereby adjusting the size of the open opening.

Figure 1 shows a variant of such a "glazing" of a 1500x1500 mm window opening. Requires seven outer and six inner wooden battens, appropriately sized film, 28 screws with anti-corrosion coating - four screws each to fasten each of the six outer and inner battens with a film between them and to attach the top (fixed) batten and the edge of the film to the top element of the opening .

The slats of both profiles are best processed on a planer, then they will have more even, "commodity" surfaces. Before assembly, both the rails and the details of the opening need to be painted. It is recommended to double coat with semi-gloss acrylic paint, with water-soluble dyes.

The film can be single, 100 or 150 microns thick, but double is better, at least in the upper, more loaded part of it. Laths with film are assembled separately, prior to their installation in the opening: the film is fixed between the outer and inner laths. An "apron" is produced from the bottom pair of rails to drain rainwater from the veranda wall.

Rice. 1. View of the window opening from the outside (click to enlarge): 1 - post; 2 - outer rail (1568x30x15, 7 pcs.); 3 - internal rail (1498x30x15, 6 pcs.); 4 side limiter, left (1500x65x16); 5 - side limiter, right (1500x30x16); 6 - front limiter (1500x100x17, 2 pcs.): 7 - film (1600x1540); 8 - screw 4x25 (galvanized or nickel-plated, pcs.); 9 - window sill.

Reiki in the opening are mounted in two stages. First, side and front guides on vertical posts are assembled with bait with small nails and the possibility of easy movement of the rails in them is checked. At the same time, minimum gaps are required, otherwise the slats will vibrate and knock in the wind. Then the guides are finally attached to the racks with nails or screws.

Rice. 2. View of the window opening from the inside (click to enlarge): 1 - cord; 2 - guide (wood s15); 3 - sleeve-lock, 4 - fuse (ball); 5 - screw 4x16 (2 pcs.); 6 - screw 3x25 (4 pcs.).

An example of the simplest device for fixing raised rails is shown in Figure 2. Any strong and beautiful small-section cord is fixed with its ends to the upper element from the inside of the opening so that it passes through two cord guides fixed to the lower inner rail. The initial tension of the cord can be ensured by introducing its loop into the locking sleeve. The diameter of the hole in the latter depends on the diameter and material of the cord and is selected empirically so that the friction force between them is sufficient to fix the cord of the raised rails and, at the same time, would allow the cord loop to be pulled in both directions.

To exclude the possibility of accidentally pulling the loop out of the locking sleeve, it is enough to tie a knot on it or hang a ball. For the given dimensions of the window opening, the cord should be approximately 4,7 m long.

And one more, decorative, possibility: the plastic film on the inside can be decorated with felt-tip pens. Children will be happy to help with this. It is easy to wash off unsuccessful drawings with a solvent containing alcohol.

In the same way, you can close the openings in the garden gazebo and in other similar rooms. Operating experience has shown the high strength of this design at high wind loads.

Machine for thinning flowers in gardens 02.05.2024

In modern agriculture, technological progress is developing aimed at increasing the efficiency of plant care processes. The innovative Florix flower thinning machine was presented in Italy, designed to optimize the harvesting stage. This tool is equipped with mobile arms, allowing it to be easily adapted to the needs of the garden. The operator can adjust the speed of the thin wires by controlling them from the tractor cab using a joystick. This approach significantly increases the efficiency of the flower thinning process, providing the possibility of individual adjustment to the specific conditions of the garden, as well as the variety and type of fruit grown in it. After testing the Florix machine for two years on various types of fruit, the results were very encouraging. Farmers such as Filiberto Montanari, who has used a Florix machine for several years, have reported a significant reduction in the time and labor required to thin flowers. ... >>

Advanced Infrared Microscope 02.05.2024

Microscopes play an important role in scientific research, allowing scientists to delve into structures and processes invisible to the eye. However, various microscopy methods have their limitations, and among them was the limitation of resolution when using the infrared range. But the latest achievements of Japanese researchers from the University of Tokyo open up new prospects for studying the microworld. Scientists from the University of Tokyo have unveiled a new microscope that will revolutionize the capabilities of infrared microscopy. This advanced instrument allows you to see the internal structures of living bacteria with amazing clarity on the nanometer scale. Typically, mid-infrared microscopes are limited by low resolution, but the latest development from Japanese researchers overcomes these limitations. According to scientists, the developed microscope allows creating images with a resolution of up to 120 nanometers, which is 30 times higher than the resolution of traditional microscopes. ... >>

Air trap for insects 01.05.2024

Agriculture is one of the key sectors of the economy, and pest control is an integral part of this process. A team of scientists from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-Central Potato Research Institute (ICAR-CPRI), Shimla, has come up with an innovative solution to this problem - a wind-powered insect air trap. This device addresses the shortcomings of traditional pest control methods by providing real-time insect population data. The trap is powered entirely by wind energy, making it an environmentally friendly solution that requires no power. Its unique design allows monitoring of both harmful and beneficial insects, providing a complete overview of the population in any agricultural area. “By assessing target pests at the right time, we can take necessary measures to control both pests and diseases,” says Kapil ... >>

Robot vacuum cleaner Samsung POWERbot VR7000 07.01.2017

Samsung has announced a new member of the POWERbot series of innovative robotic vacuum cleaners - VR7000.

The POWERbot VR7000 robot vacuum cleaner features a slimmer 97mm body that is 28% thinner than previous models. This allows it to reach hard-to-reach places that are usually missed when using handheld vacuum cleaners.

Depending on the model, the air suction power of the POWERbot VR7000 is up to 20W. The Edge Clean Master feature allows for a more thorough cleaning within 15mm of the wall. The wide brush (288 mm) also contributes to this.

The POWERbotTM VR7000 is equipped with several intelligent features, including Visionary Mapping Plus and FullView Sensor 2.0, which allow you to create a virtual map of the room and remember its contours for better cleaning later.

The Intelligent Power Control function allows you to adjust the suction power and optimize cleaning according to the type of floor surface. The robot vacuum cleaner can be connected to the Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure, and can be controlled remotely using a smartphone with a pre-installed application or using voice commands using an Amazon Echo device.

The POWERbot VR7000 was honored with the 2017 CES Innovation Award, recognizing its innovative design and ability to clean even the most inaccessible spaces.
