In the few previous posts we have covered several variables about Greenhouse selection. We will cover just a couple more in this post.
Let’s start with whether you will keep your greenhouse up all year round.
Permanent or Temporary
To state the obvious, some places around this world receive some significantly violent weather, including high winds and hail. Greenhouses can be relatively susceptible to extreme weather. One way to have your greenhouse survive the weather is to disassemble and store it in the months that you expect the worst conditions. This can be a lot of work, and can take up significant storage space, but unless you have a sizable budget for a sturdy structure, this might be the best way to avoid having severe weather destroy what you did spend on a budget friendly greenhouse.
You may also be among those who typically only start their spring garden plants, and do not plan on using the greenhouse all year round. You may not want to have this structure taking up space in your yard if you are not using it. So here again, disassembly and storage is the option.
Finally, considering what plants you are going to tend in your greenhouse is a factor.
What are You Going to Grow
…and when do you plan on growing them? Similar to the Permanent or Temporary subject discussed just ahead of your plant choice, the budget you plan on spending on your greenhouse may limit your plant growing options. If you have a desire to grow anything (or something specific) at anytime of the year, regardless of the climate conditions outside, then you better have the budget to build a greenhouse that can provide the appropriate environment necessary at any time. If you don’t have that budget, then you will be limited on what plants that you have in your greenhouse at certain times of the year. Without the proper Heating or Ventilating, weather conditions can and will impact your greenhouse conditions to a large extent. So, your budget friendly option here is to select plants that are hardy enough to survive (and grow) in the greenhouse that you have.
That about wraps it up, at least for now. If you have pointers or other considerations that you would like to share about greenhouses. Please leave them in the comments.
We hope you enjoyed our posts about Greenhouse selection. Hopefully we may have broached a subject that provided you with information to help you purchase the perfect greenhouse for you.
