6 Things to Consider When Buying a Greenhouse Kit

Garden Master

Having your own greenhouse gives you the ability for gardening year round, which could give you the ability to cut your grocery bill throughout the winter. Even your tropical plants can survive the winter... Greenhouse kits are quite easy to set up. You will want to be responsible though and be sure to provide heat non stop, as it only takes one night of cold and your plants will be done. Take into consideration that your greenhouse will need heat, water, benches, venting and electricity.

1.  Size: How Large should your Greenhouse Kit be?

Consider getting the largest greenhouse kit you can afford that will fit in your yard. It wont matter the size of the greenhouse kit you buy, you will quickly fill it. It is smarter and cheaper to purchase a large greenhouse kit now than to try and expand a small greenhouse kit later.

2.  Heating the Greenhouse Kit

Natural Gas Heater

You need sufficient heat in your greenhouse kit throughout the winter. Your options are electric, gas, propane and natural gas heating units. Any of these will work so you only need to consider cost and other preferences. The choice really comes down to whether you want to have lines laid and what’s available in your area. Electric is convenient and it doesn’t need venting, but if a storm knocks out your electricity, it will also knock out your plants.

You will also want to consider heating costs which will depend on your choice of siding material, as discussed below.

3. Siding or Glazing Materials for Your Greenhouse Kit

You will want to consider siding for your greenhouse kit, since it will affect the cost and efficiency for years to come. A lot of progress has been made in designing better insulated, more heat efficient greenhouse siding and after all, regulating heat is what greenhouses are all about.

Another consideration is light diffusion. You want as much sun light as possible to come into your greenhouse, but you don’t want it directed straight at your seedlings, like a magnifying glass. Choices of greenhouse kit siding materials will be glass or one of the plastics (fiberglass, polycarbonate, polyethylene film).

4. Framing Materials for Building a Greenhouse Kit

Your greenhouse kit should be framed using a structure that will hold up to the wind and provide you with little to know maintenance. Many times your choice of framing is determined by your choice of siding. Heavier siding requires a heavier frame. Wood is beautiful, but aluminum, galvanized steel or PVC are far more durable.

5. The Foundation for Your Greenhouse Kit

It is not necessary for your greenhouse kit to be on a full concrete foundation. However you might want to consider some kind of surface between garden benches and other fixtures inside your greenhouse kit. If you do decide to put your greenhouse kit on a concrete slab, be sure to include a drain in the floor. Concrete can be slick when it is wet, so be sure your walking surface has some texture to it, for traction.

Gravel is a good option if not using a cement slab under potting benches, to prevent things from getting muddy and damp.

6. Things To Consider Before You Purchase A Greenhouse Kit

Most greenhouse kits come with only the basic framing and siding. Everything else is extra. You may think you can make do, but it's worth considering these options before you make a major committment.

• Check whether you’ll need a building permit in your area.
• Shelving and benches are usually sold separately.
• You may need shade cloths, if your greenhouse is situated in full sun.
• An automated watering and/or misting system will allow you to leave your greenhouse for a few days during the winter.
• Make sure your wheelbarrow can fit through the door.

I find it amazing how someone with little to no money can put a little thought into something and create something so grand. Take for instance this article I just found at Lookiloos " Garden Patio Makeover on a Budget ". This person talked about in the article explains how they went about adding expression to a small patio with a very small budget. This is total art and goes to show everyone that you really can add life to any living situation you might be in.

We used to live in a two bedroom apartment, actually it was a duplex and my wife used to spend so much time outside fixing up the flower beds and maintaining such a comfortable atmosphere in a place that I would have otherwise expressed as, "it's just a rental". I couldn't understand why she would put so much time into it. But I know why now. It made her feel good. She was actually getting some therapy out of it. It sure felt good when the owners of the duplex expressed delight in all she had done. In fact they considered her live in management because of her willingness to give to a place that she would never own.

I will also admit that when I came home from work it sure was a nice feeling before I even got in the door. One I would not have had if she did nothing and I would have given no attention to the walkway and garbage cans. Instead I was always greeted with flowers and decor.
