Considerations In Buying A Greenhouse
There are a number of choices you have to make before deciding on the greenhouse to buy. You have probably decided where you want to site your greenhouse and know that it will need to be in a sunny position and as close to the house as possible, so that you can make connections for water, heating and electricity.The following information applies whether you are building your own greenhouse or buying a greenhouse.
The shape of your greenhouse may be decided by the site location. There are now a greater number of shapes for greenhouses than there ever has been. You still have a huge choice of styles even if you are buying a manufactured greenhouse. There is the tradiional “barn” shape with four vertical sides and a span rof with a central ridge. There is a whle range of ’round’ greenhouses. These are usually multi-sided, rather than actually circular. They are often constructed with six or eight sides with a pyramid type roof and although they are the most attractive in design, they are not as space efficient as the traditional style.
Greenhouses no longer need to made of glass, and are increasingly now being made of plastics. But, if you use plastic, it may need to be replaced regularly as it can become brittle over time.Do you want to use aluminium or wooden frames?. Sice wood is naturally an insulator, the wooden framed greenhouse can be cheaper to heat. They certainly look nicer. However, wood needs regular maintenance such as painting with preservative to prevent it rotting. When you do this, don’t use creasote, it gives off fumes toxic to plants.
The next decision you will need to make is the flooring. This is especially important if you are buying a ready made greenhouse. You need to decide whether you want to grow plants in the ground in your greenhouse or whether you will use pots and growbags. Although pots and growbags can restrict roots systems, they do prevent a build up of any infections.
You can gain an advantage in reducing your heating bills by using concrete floors. If you don’t have a concrete slab and are growing directly in the ground, you can still gain this advantage by using concrete slabs or blocks along the cntre of the greenhouse, or under the benches.
Ventilation is another consideration. You should aim to keep a consistent temperature in order to get the very best growing conditions. To help prevent mould type disease, you need to provide plenty of air circulation. The conventional way of doing this is by vents in the roof. A 2 x 2,5m (6 x 8ft) greenhouse should have trw vents and other sizes need the number of vents adjusted to match the size. Providing ventilation in polythene type greenhouses can be problematic. The polythene generates a great deal of condensation which makes it impractical to install adjustable ventilation panels.Mesh Panels fitted along the grenhouse base, and in the doors will cut down the condensation and help with ventilation.
Whether you are going to be building your own greenhouse or buying a greenhouse ready built, the above decisions will need to be made. The wrong decision will cost you dearly and will take away a great deal of the pleasure of greenhouse gardening.
Greenhouse gardening gives you a whole new aspect to your gardening. It can be one of the most satisfying things you do, so think carefully about it before you commit – and get it right.
