You may think that in order to build a greenhouse in your garden you need a lot of space and thereforeyou simply do not have the room to be able to do it, believing that most greenhouses need to be of a fairly large-size.
However a good solution to this problem is to take a look at building a very simple and inexpensive lean-to greenhouse, which uses an existing wall for part of its structure.
This article will take a look at some of the things to be considered when choosing a particular styleto suit your particular circumstances.
One of the main choices is an aluminum framed greenhouse.
This has the advantage that it can be extremely strong and therefore useful if you happen to live in an area which suffers from adverse weather fairly regularly.
These frames can usually withstand high wind, and can also withstand heavy snowfall, while at the same time remaining fairly lightweight.
Another lightweight frame that is worth looking at is the PVC frame, since this is not only lightweight, but also has the added advantage that it is unlikely to rust.
There are now some very high-quality PVC framed greenhouses with frames that are very protective and which do not lose their color due to being in the sunlight.
A more traditional style is the wood-framed greenhouse type which is much more expensive than either aluminum or PVC, but which can do well if you happen to have a very old-fashioned looking house.
These can be a great way to create a high humidity environment, and therefore good for growing tropical flowers.
Take a look at some of the various types of lean to greenhouse and choose a frame which suits your style and your budget, while also remembering this style can use up far less room than a traditional stand-alone type.
