Including a greenhouse is a practical purpose of extending your garden. However, it also provides an opportunity to enjoy your gardening hobby. A greenhouse is generally referred as a building where plants are grown with protection from various harsh environmental conditions. You can construct a smaller or a larger greenhouse in your house based on the space available. Here are different types of greenhouses you can erect in your garden.
Greenhouses can be built in two different styles – freestanding and attached styles. Freestanding greenhouses, as the name suggests, are independent structures and are built in free in your backyard. Where as the attached greenhouses are affixed or built by using a support of a structure of a property. The attached models are often regarded as lean-to greenhouses as they lean on to the support.
Freestanding greenhouses are more expensive to build when compared to attached ones. They include separate requirements such as heating systems, water and electricity. Whereas, the attached ones can get these requirements from the main property. Lean-to models mostly have a support from a property and it is mostly a wall structure. Hence, this reduces the need to construct half portion of the greenhouse. Thereby, it minimizes the construction costs. Considering all these things, you can save much amount by choosing a lean-to greenhouse.
Both the models are generally constructed by using different materials like glass, fiberglass, wood, aluminum and plastic. However, they are used based on the preferences. Both of them are constructed with specific features providing temperature control, insulation, ventilation, etc. Knowing these things, install an elegant greenhouse in your garden.
