Getting a greenhouse will help you to continue planting despite the weather. The garden structure makes the process of growing and maintaining plants, vegetables and fruits easier throughout the year. They also help you to plant earlier than the planting season or later in the year. The structure protects the delicate new plants from too much rain, snow and frost.
Where to set up your greenhouse? Choose a location that is open to the sun with no shade. A level, secure ground that is away from overlapping trees. In addition, the greenhouse should be accessible from all sides of the structure. If you have limited space, you can set up a lean-to greenhouse. The greenhouse construction could either be self- assembly or you will need someone to do that for you. Different types of greenhouse: There are two main factors that determine the type. These include the frame’s material and the window’s glazing. Greenhouse frame material. They frame could either be made from aluminium, wood or extruded resin. The aluminium frame greenhouses are the most common and are strong, durable and won’t rust or rot. They can last for a very long time if well maintained. The wooden greenhouses can be easily painted to improve the unique look. Some companies making the greenhouse will treat the wood to prevent the wood from rot and mould. The wood requires regular maintenance which could be regular painting. Lastly, the extruded resin frame greenhouses use a type of plastic to offer an attractive and cost-effective choice. However, they are best for a small greenhouse. Greenhouse glazing material. The two main types of glazing include the polycarbonate and the glass. The polycarbonate glazed greenhouses apply the use of a thinner, more durable option to glass. They are more popular and relatively cheap. They require no maintenance once installed. The glass greenhouses have a heavier structure overall. Since the glass can easily break, you need to be very careful since it would like shatter as result of impacts. Other factors to consider for your greenhouse include the following: Greenhouse roofing structures. They could either be apex, curved apex, cathedral, Dutch apex or lean-to. Greenhouse doors. The type of door will depend on the available space that you would need to open the door fully. Its through the door that you will be moving large items in and out, tools and equipment. Get the freedom of growing whatever you want at any time of the year by installing a greenhouse for your home.
