FAQs

Consider leaving space around the greenhouse for expansion, additional cold frames, waterbutts or storage.

Ensure your greenhouse is conveniently located near your home or garden paths for easy access, especially in bad weather. The more convenient it is the more you’ll use it.

Avoid low-lying areas prone to waterlogging. Good drainage is essential to prevent flooding and maintain a stable growing environment. DRainange inside the greenhouse is often best achieved by using gravel either sides of a central path.

Placing your greenhouse near a water source will make irrigation easier. If you plan to use heating, lighting, proximity to electricity is also important. Consider laying a conduit during  the base construction which will make life easier when feeding in services. Don’t forget you can always collect rainwater from the neat aluminium downpipes and gutters supplied with every cultivar greenhouse.

Don’t forget to think about levels. A stable, level surface is essential for proper drainage, ease of construction, and maintaining the integrity of the structure. In every instant we would provide you with a plan for the base which recommends you prepare a flat level concrete footing.

Even the most robust greenhouses will benefit from a natural windbreak like a hedge, fence, or wall. Don’t go too close though to ensure it still gets good airflow.

Position your greenhouse where it will receive the most sunlight, ideally with the ridge running East to West. That will ensure the sloped roof faces South. If possible avoid placing it in the shadow of buildings and trees.
