Three Quarter Lean-to Greenhouses
Cultivar produce a range of three-quarter lean to greenhouses that can be fitted against an existing wall. This, of course, is assuming that the wall is in good order and is plumb and true. A three-quarter lean-to greenhouse has significant advantages over that of a standard lean-to. Firstly the wall to which the greenhouse abuts need not be as high. Secondly and arguably equally important the greenhouse benefits from having a greater cubic air capacity as well as having vents on both sides of the ridge. Additional ventilation can be added at eaves level along the length or at the plain end of the greenhouse to compensate from the lack of ventilation along the wall side.
The Victorian three-quarter lean to range is available in exactly the same sizes but has the more traditional narrow pane centres and is crowned at each end with a hand turned Accoya finial as pictured.
In an ideal world the wall should be south facing and if this is the case you will benefit from full sun most of the day. The wall tends to absorb the heat during the day which is useful in keeping the lean to greenhouse temperature up high into the evening and night.
Where Should You Position a Lean to Greenhouse?
While the abutting wall can help maintain heat levels in your greenhouse if it joins onto your residence, it also deprives your crops of some of the available sunlight.
This makes it extra important to consider which wall your three quarter lean to greenhouse is going to be abutted to. In an ideal world, the wall should be south facing as this will ensure that you greenhouse benefits from full sun for the majority of the day.
An added benefit of having a south facing lean to greenhouse is that the abutting wall will absorb the heat from the sun throughout the day, which helps to maintain heat levels heading into evening and night.
