What Kind of Greenhouse Should I Build?
Smaller to large greenhouses would be considered hobby greenhouses.
If you are wanting to do more serious gardening you will want to have a commercial greenhouse structure.
Talk to your greenhouse provider at Southern Greenhouses to determine what size you will need.
Next, in what location will you want your greenhouse? Do you have a small space and need a "lean-to" greenhouse, meaning, the structure leans against one wall of your house? This can prove to be healthy for the plants that may need less light and more warmth.
Third, You will want to consider materials used.
Is this structure strong and well-built made from glass or polycarbonate materials? Steve Reno (proprietor of Southern Greenhouses has worked with Russell Greenhouse Co.
the manufacturing arm of Southern Greenhouses claims that longevity is important and so the manufacturing and material of a greenhouse is a serious consideration.
"You do not want something that is made of wood or plastic sheeting, especially if you live in the Southern Climates where there is a lot of humidity and possible wind damage".
You should also want a glass structure for those cold winter months up North.
And last, what type of equipment will you need? Will you want a mister or humidifier and will you want aluminum benches or are the natural wood benches okay? As you can see, there are a lot of questions that go into planning a greenhouse.
Some just want a simple plant storage place from the winter months while others have built acres of greenhouses to house a swimming pool and terrarium for that "tropical" atmosphere so desired.
