The winter garden attached to the house is very popular. The popularity lies in the beauty, coziness and comfort of this extension. The basis of the winter garden is to create an atmosphere of fresh flowers and plants that are grown in the house all year round. It is especially pleasant to enjoy the smell of fresh blooming flowers, which create a truly heavenly place. The winter garden relaxes, saturates the body with oxygen and takes you into the world of dreams. Such extensions are often popular in country houses or cottages, but there is the possibility of arranging in apartments. What is needed for the construction of such an extension, we will consider the projects and features of the types of winter gardens in more detail.
Features of winter garden projects in the house
The winter garden looks like a transparent structure that can visually expand the boundaries of this room. The glass building is additionally equipped with a heating system in winter, ventilation and watering plants. The simplicity of construction contributes to the arrangement of even a balcony in a city apartment.
In a private house, you can make a winter garden in the attic or organize it on a glazed and insulated veranda if the house is one-story.
Special glass are special energy-saving double-glazed windows. They consist of two or three glasses, inside of which there is an air cushion that saves heat inside the attic.
Double-glazed windows not only save in the winter, but also help in the summer. In summer, they do not allow strong heating of the room, which has a positive effect on plants and people. The sun's rays penetrating inside the glazed greenhouse contribute to the creation of the greenhouse effect. This effect is used to grow vegetation indoors.
An important point in creating a winter garden is the arrangement of its walls and floor with special materials that contribute to the accumulation of heat during the day and return at night.
You will find all the information about the types of siding for house cladding.
The presence of a heating system is not a mandatory element, because the main purpose of such is to create a microclimate and a certain temperature. If the attic is constructed of double or triple glass, then heating is often not required. But, when building an extension from single glass, the presence of a system is mandatory so that the flora does not freeze out in winter, because some plants do not survive at temperatures below +15 degrees.
The attic of single glass should be supplied with an additional dimmer. The dimmer is designed to prevent overheating of the room above +30 degrees, which will adversely affect their growth or even destroy them. 
Creating the tightness of the room is an important point, because the cracks can contribute to the penetration of cold air into the extension. Having an automatic watering system is optional, but it is important to water almost daily. An automatic irrigation system will facilitate human labor. It is also necessary to provide a lighting system.
In winter, the sun does not always shine often, and the days are short at this time of the year. Therefore, the presence of additional lighting - artificial. These are the main features of home improvement with a winter garden. It is also important to provide for the availability of auxiliary equipment for plant development.
Organization methods, designs for a greenhouse in a cottage or private house
Initially, to organize the construction of an extension, it is necessary to solve the following points:
- periods of operation. In what seasons will this room be used: for year-round or seasonal use.
- What is the purpose of the extension?: as a plant care hobby or for everyday recreation.
If you plan to use it all year round, then you can safely fulfill your fantasies of filling the room with various kinds of plants. With year-round use, the attic is equipped with special soft corners for relaxation and even a night's sleep. You can also equip the attic with a kitchenette where tea parties will be held. 
Breakfasts, lunches or dinners: the organization of all these additions in the greenhouse is determined by the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, if it is a balcony, then it is unlikely that you can put a sofa on it. If you plan to use the extension only during certain periods, then it is enough to equip the greenhouse with your main favorite plant species.
There is no need to create heating, irrigation and ventilation systems. All this can be done artificially with your own hands. It is the orientation of further use that depends on the arrangement of the extension with a winter garden.

Accommodation
The placement of the extension of the winter garden can be varied. It can be created together with the main house or be completed after. But it is best to build in conjunction with the house, this will simplify the engineering design. As mentioned above, the winter garden can be attached:
- To a private country house or cottage.
- On the balcony of the apartment.
- To any other living space, and even the construction of a separate room.
- On the roof of your house or top floor apartment.
When planning a room, it should be divided into the following components:
- the main area for growing plants and flowers;
- a zone for saving equipment and plant care items;
- recreation area
- other additional areas if there is free space (a corner for sports equipment, an ottoman or a sofa for sleeping, a table for talking and eating).
The optimal dimensions of the winter garden extension include an area of 10 to 20 m2. A smaller structure adjoins the total volume of a residential building.
You probably want to get acquainted with the designs of the facades of private houses, which will tell you.
Design
To create the main frame, special building materials are selected. They are calculated during construction for the impact of the following factors:
- Glass pack weight. The frame must support the weight of the glass from which the room is constructed.
- The action of external factors: wind, rain, snow.
- Action of other mechanical or physical influences.
The frame is best constructed from wood, steel or aluminum. Metal-plastic profiles are rarely used.
It is possible that you may need .
Steel is used in the construction of the winter garden structure. But since the room with the plants is humid, the moisture will contribute to the appearance of corrosion on the steel structure. It is necessary to prepare steel materials for corrosion. The influence of moisture on the wooden frame will also adversely affect the strength of the structure. Moisture renders neither tree also detrimental properties. It is necessary to paint wooden structural elements with varnish, paint or special impregnation.
The aluminum frame is of the highest quality. Moisture does not destroy aluminum elements, and therefore it creates a rigid, durable and at the same time lightweight structure. The cost of aluminum profiles is not much different from the other two. The use of metal-plastic profiles gives the structure strength and durability. Does not require additional care.
Heating systems
So, if the winter garden is planned to be used year-round, then it is necessary to ennoble the room with a heating system. To choose a suitable heating system, you need to know the criteria that affect the choice:
- Dimensions of the winter garden. The larger the room, the more heat is required for heating.
- The frequency of use of the winter garden. If you plan to use it constantly throughout the year, then the system is required.
- Type of cultivated plants. Most plants develop at temperatures above +18 degrees, with the exception of some frost-resistant ones.
These factors should be taken into account when planning and choosing a heating system. Garden heating systems can be used in the following types:
- electric heaters;
- air conditioners;
- heating type "warm floor";
- water heating;
- stove heating;
- air heating.
About the technology of facade insulation with foam, it is told.
Consider the main parameters for using each of the above types. Electric space heaters are the use of convectors or fireplaces to heat a room. You can install automatic heaters that will turn on and off when the room temperature drops.
The choice of the number of fireplaces for heating is made by calculating the area of \u200b\u200bthe room. Air conditioners allow you to create a microclimate in the room. In winter, heating is performed, and in summer, cooling. Air conditioning includes: air conditioners, split systems or mounted UFO heaters.
Heating system "warm floor" allows not only to heat the room, but also to create the correct air circulation. The room in this way warms up completely. Water heating is carried out by installing radiators in the winter garden. Water flows through the batteries, which is heated by a steam boiler.
The boiler can be gas, solid fuel, electric. Stove heating is carried out by heating the furnace. The construction of the furnace is not necessary in the greenhouse itself. The stove can be heated either with wood or coal. 
Air heating is carried out by installing a fan in the wall between the heated room and the winter garden room. Warm air is distilled by the fan, thereby producing heating.
When the room temperature reaches a certain level, the fan turns off. You can choose any heating that is more suitable for the price. To finally stop at a particular option, consider the pros and cons of each type.
Difficulties in work, pros and cons
The pros and cons of all types of heating are entered in a table for the convenience of their analysis.
| Name/Type of heating | pros | Minuses |

- Choose a place for an extension, taking into account all the parameters. This is the influence of climatic conditions and external factors.
- During construction, think over the smallest details that need to be built during the construction period, and not after it.
- Do not fill the built extension immediately on the first day with a variety of plants. Check the initial performance of all mounted systems.
- Do not neglect fire safety in the extension. Some heating systems that are present can cause a fire.
- Provide all the necessary security measures to equip the extension with an alarm system. After all, a glass extension is a great place for intruders to enter the house.

A patio or outdoor patio near a living space can come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can equip it by surrounding it from different sides with walls or fences, a lattice or galleries, as well as a hedge of trees and shrubs.
Patio or outdoor patio near the living area, can be of different shapes and sizes
Before you build a courtyard or patio on a suburban area, you need to draw up and calculate the project. Specialists and designers can offer to bring to life not only beautiful, but also original projects of such buildings, which are located both in front of the house and inside the household from timber and stone. Professional design engineers most often use the option of integrated landscaping with the construction of the following types of patios:
- inside a four-walled courtyard, with a fence and a gate;
- with one wall and decorative fencing;
- in the form of a glass flask at a house with a flat roof;
- corner type, adjoining one of the walls of the house;
- with a fireplace wall for cooking on an open fire;
- with artificial pond and decorations.
To obtain a full-fledged and modern landscape design with a competent arrangement of the patio, you can also take a closer look at ready-made projects or develop an individual improvement plan.

Types of recreation areas patio
There are several types of patio areas in the local area, but the most popular are corner buildings, courtyards at the back of the household, balcony and multi-level accommodation, as well as a solarium patio and a romantic patio with a barbecue area.
Gazebo-patio for relaxing in the country
Traditional structure with a roof made of strong and durable materials that can protect from the sun and precipitation. Most often, the roof is made of translucent polycarbonate, and the walls are made lattice, which allows you to plant climbing perennials and annual flowering crops around the perimeter.
Romantic patio in the courtyard of a country house
Mediterranean-style decoration is extremely popular. If you decide to create a recreation area with your own hands for romantic meetings and spending evenings for two, then it is best to choose a place in the most remote corner of the garden, where you can retire, and also create the most attractive design against the backdrop of greenery and flowers. The performed site can be both open and closed with dense vegetation, decorative fences, fabric canopy.

Projects of houses combined with a patio area
The need to combine home ownership with a recreation area involves the development of a special project. In this case, it is advisable to give preference to the most popular trends, including free planning and combining a kitchen-dining room. Home ownership can be with a traditional pitched roof and a flat roof.
The second option allows you to use the roof surface as a landscaped terrace. Planned houses with a traditional pitched roof are most often built around a patio. In this case, a comfortable living room, combined with a kitchen, should be equipped with panoramic windows and access to a covered patio.
The need to combine home ownership with a recreation area involves the development of a special project Patio with BBQ to meet friends
When choosing a place in the country to create a recreation area with a barbecue, several of the most important nuances must be taken into account. According to the fire safety rules, branches of trees or shrubs should not hang over the site being created. To decorate such a zone, potted crops, artificial reservoirs or decorative fountains can be used.
It is advisable to locate the site in close proximity to the household, which will make it possible to supply the electrical network and the water supply system. The traditional square shape is allowing you to conveniently place furniture and the barbecue itself, but round or oval areas with a barbecue for relaxing with a large company or family look very impressive.
Patio with BBQ to meet friends Tiered patio
The original version of the multi-level patio is optimally suited for arrangement in areas with a shortage of free space. Among other things, it is these recreation areas that are most relevant if the owner of suburban real estate plans to use this element of garden design not only for entertainment and relaxation, but also for other purposes. With a whimsical appearance, the tiered patio option, which includes a cut of several types of floors, is great for decorating in modern styles.

The choice of furniture for a seating area in the garden
A properly executed patio includes several traditional elements, represented by small recreation areas, an area for household needs, an artificial reservoir in the form of a pool or pond with a fountain, a drainage system, landscaped areas in the form of lawns or flower beds, as well as collections of plants.
The main elements should be carried out in the same style, one hundred will emphasize the entire isolation of the equipped recreation area, so special attention is paid to the correct choice of furniture. First you need to decide whether the furniture will be in the open air throughout the year or removed into the room with the onset of winter. Outdoor furniture has a different purpose, so it is advisable to purchase whole sets, including sun loungers, chairs or armchairs, benches and tables.
It should be remembered that furniture made of cast iron or stone is incredibly beautiful, but most often it is stationary, so for a small patio, it is advisable to purchase lighter furniture made of plastic, bamboo, cane or rattan.

How to make a wooden patio in the country with your own hands
Wood is a natural, environmentally friendly and comfortable material for spending time, which is quite affordable for purchase and easy to use. It is for these reasons that many owners of suburban real estate are increasingly giving preference to wooden buildings in the recreation area.
Choosing and preparing a place under the patio
To begin work on the construction of the patio, you will need to mark the area in accordance with the project. Recreation areas with a wooden floor look great, and a light floor board allows you to visually enlarge the territory. There are several ways to lay a wooden floor:
- the use of hardwoods, including ash and oak, which are most resistant to negative street influences;
- fixing a modern decking board or decking, most often represented by a combination of wood and plastic derivatives, which makes it possible to take advantage of the specific resistance of polymers to external factors.
Laying of building and finishing material is carried out on wooden or metal logs installed on a previously cleaned and marked surface.
Many owners of suburban real estate increasingly prefer wooden buildings in the recreation area. Construction of the main structure
The above-ground structure for recreation can be made in the form of a spacious platform, sheathed with traditional wooden boards, and equipped with several sections with zones for the location of the hearth, a place to relax with furniture and a decorative artificial reservoir. To protect personal space from prying eyes, walls are erected, which can have very different heights - from a few centimeters to a couple of meters.
Steps, walls and patio arches, as a rule, are made of the same building and finishing materials as that were used in the cladding of households. Thus, it is possible to show a smooth transition from the building to the patio for relaxation. If a barbecue area is set up in the zone, then in this case only non-combustible and refractory materials are used, which should differ not only in resistance to fire, but also in durability. If the site is fenced in the form of a lattice, then it is allowed to decorate the walls with climbing vegetation.
The above-ground structure for recreation can be made in the form of a spacious platform, sheathed with traditional wooden boards. Making an Inexpensive Patio Canopy
If you need to build an inexpensive canopy, first of all, you need to decide on the choice of its design. This design can be done:
- in the form of a gazebo;
- in the form of a terrace;
- in the form of a visor;
- in the form of an imitation of a porch.
The design of the canopy can be attached or freestanding. The material for the construction of a canopy can be:
- wood;
- profiled flooring;
- sheet polycarbonate;
- plexiglass;
- colored euroslate;
- metal tiles;
- thick fabric.
Particularly popular are decorative canopies, which are optimally suited for decoration and serve as an original addition to the overall style of all summer cottages. When building a structure yourself, it is very important to consider the following basic rules:

The flora planted in the recreation area should be represented by vegetation that will make it easy to create an unobtrusive and relaxing atmosphere of well-being and complete tranquility. It is highly undesirable to use for the purpose of landscaping too bright and very colorful, fragrant flowers that produce a large amount of nectar. Such vegetation, as a rule, attracts pollinating insects, including various flies, midges, bumblebees and bees that can interfere with outdoor recreation. Undersized conifers will complement the design of the erected recreation area in a very original and harmonious way.

At present, of course, the courtyard no longer has a protective function, but it is still relevant, as it allows the family to escape from the seething external life and relax in peace and comfort.
In ordinary life, the so-called atrium layout is most often used when planning a patio. Its meaning is simple - all buildings are built along the perimeter, and a courtyard is laid out on the resulting site.
original patio fencing Most often, buildings are arranged either in the form of a square or on three sides, while the fourth, free side, is used as an entrance to it. Distinguish between closed and open courtyard.
First of all, it is necessary to draw up a design project for the desired courtyard. Here it is necessary to determine the location of the house, buildings and the courtyard itself. It should be conveniently located and fulfill its original function: to provide the opportunity for solitude from the outside world.
Patio size
The size of the courtyard depends only on your wishes and possibilities. It can be either a tiny courtyard containing only a small gazebo for relaxation, or a large space with a variety of buildings.
patio design Functions and purpose
When creating a project, you should also consider what functions the courtyard will perform. If it is supposed to be a gathering place for only a small family, there is no point in making it huge. If in the future it is planned to gather here all the numerous friends, relatives and acquaintances, in order to avoid crowding, it is worth making it large in size.

Water facilities
A fountain will look very beautiful and original in such a courtyard. it is worth planning in accordance with the general exterior of the entire courtyard.
In order to cool off a little on a hot summer day, you should think about building a pool on your patio, even if it is small. The easiest option is to buy and install a standard bowl. When buying ready-made bowls, one should not forget about our cold weather. Plastic bowls, as a rule, burst with a sharp change in temperature.
Also, strong blows are contraindicated for such bowls. Acrylic bowls are ideal for our area with severe frosts in winter and easily tolerate almost any mechanical impact.
But if there is a desire to build a pool according to your own project of an unusual configuration, then you can fill in the dug pit, of the chosen shape and size, with concrete. 
Additionally, you will have to take care of the location of all the necessary equipment for pool maintenance, water filtration and drainage.
Gardening of the patio
When developing the landscape design of the patio, to create colorfulness and comfort, you can use vertical gardening around the entire perimeter by placing the so-called vertical terraces of plants.

At the entrance, the plants arranged in an arch look very beautiful. They can also be placed on trellises, climbing plants put on lattices, or simply placed along the walls of the house and at the border of the plots.
The frame for plants can be assembled from any strong improvised material. For this, profiles for mounting drywall systems or an ordinary wooden beam are ideal. 
Capillary mats with a drip irrigation system are mounted on top of the frame, on which plants are planted. When constructing such a system, it is necessary to correctly select the entire set of plants decorating the courtyard, according to all the necessary parameters.
The use of forged elements in vertical terraces will catch the eye, and the plants located nearby will play a secondary, complementary role.
The construction on the hedge site will allow you to divide the courtyard into parts or become an original partition for separating various functional areas. For example, this is ideal for separating the recreation area from the pool area.
Terraces are usually erected in the spring and removed for the winter. With some effort, it is fashionable to make such terraces with your own hands, but it is still better to turn to specialists for help. Green terraces will add comfort and completeness to the courtyard.
