Choosing a Greenhouse: Knowing Your Greenhouse Environment
Choosing a Greenhouse: Knowing Your Greenhouse Environment
Step 1 - Know Your Future GardenStep 2 - Know Your Greenhouse Environment
Greenhouse Sunlight Tips: Generally, the greenhouse should be located where it will get the most sunlight. Proximity to deciduous trees, while potentially increasing the amount of shade, is also a desirable option. Deciduous trees may help provide necessary shade during the warmer months of the year, but are bare during colder months, allowing more sunlight.
Also, keep in mind that the angle of the sun is much lower during winter months, and that any objects in the environment will be casting longer shadows, potentially blocking sunlight from your plants.
Greenhouse Weather Tips: High winds and adverse weather, especially during extreme temperature lows (and highs), can negatively impact your greenhouse and plants. Although trees and structures in the environment block sunlight, they may also block high winds. It will be beneficial to determine how best to place your structure so that high winds can be blocked while still allowing a maximum amount of sunlight.
Greenhouse Drainage Concerns: You will want to place your greenhouse higher than the surrounding ground so that precipitation and ground water will drain away from the greenhouse. This is especially important if you reside in a climate prone to heavy precipitation.
Greenhouse Accessibility Issues: It is important to consider the proximity of the greenhouse to sources of heat, water, and electricity. Additionally, the structure should be easily accessible for you, especially during periods of adverse weather and/or extreme temperatures, when your garden may need the most attention.
Building Permit For Your Greenhouse: It may be necessary to obtain a building permit for your greenhouse. Check local ordinances to determine whether this applies to you.
