GREEN HOUSES
Greenhouses and conservatories provide a controlled environment for growing plants. These structures are essential for gardeners and farmers who want to extend the growing season of their crops, protect plants from harsh weather conditions, and improve their growth.
Types of greenhouses and conservatories
There are several types of greenhouses and hothouses available, each with its own unique features and benefits. Some of the most common types include:
- Freestanding garden greenhouses - self-supporting structures that can be placed anywhere on your property. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including traditional gable, curved eaves and dome designs, as well as those with 20, 16 or 12 windows.
- Attached greenhouses - attach to an existing building (such as a home or garage). They are ideal for gardeners with limited yard space.
- High tunnels - large structures with hoops covered with polyethylene, which are ideal for growing crops in the ground, in raised beds or in containers. They provide ample space and a controlled environment.
Materials used to build greenhouses and conservatories
This type of construction can be made of various materials, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Traditional greenhouses are often made of glass, which provides excellent light transmission and heat retention. However, glass can be heavy, fragile, and expensive to install and maintain.
Polycarbonate is a plastic material that is lightweight, durable, and provides good light transmission. It is also more energy efficient and less prone to breakage than glass, making it a popular choice for modern greenhouses.
Polyethylene film (polyethylene or more commonly known as nylon) is an affordable and lightweight option for covering greenhouses and high tunnels. It can be easily replaced if damaged.
Wood and metal are commonly used to construct greenhouse and hothouse frames. Wood is a natural and aesthetic choice, while metal is more durable and rot-resistant.
Size and space considerations
When choosing a greenhouse or hothouse, consider the size and space available on your property. Smaller structures like cold frames and attached greenhouses are suitable for gardeners with limited space, while freestanding greenhouses and high tunnels require more space. Also consider the types of plants you plan to grow and the space they will need to thrive.
Greenhouse or greenhouse installation process
Installing a greenhouse or hothouse can be a DIY project or a job for a professional greenhouse installer. The process will vary depending on the type and size of the structure, as well as the materials used. Some factors to consider during installation include leveling the ground, ensuring proper drainage, and having adequate ventilation and heating systems to maintain optimal growing conditions.
