Here are some of the things that you need to consider when purchasing your product;

• Location of your greenhouse/garden building

It is important that you pick the right location for your greenhouse as this can mean the difference between growing success or failure.  Where is the best light in your garden? Can you easily access the greenhouse? If you are planning to grow in the beds inside the greenhouse, is the soil fertile and rich? 

• Groundworks and base options

To ensure the stability of your product it is also important that you have a good base on which to build.  If there is already a base in place, is it suitable? Is it level?  Do you want a full base or would you like to have beds inside your greenhouse?

• Accessories

Different greenhouses come with different accessories both as standard and available for you to purchase at an extra cost.  Firstly consider the extras that you consider essential and check whether or not they are part of your package.  We are always happy to discuss your needs and advise you on the best extras for you!

• Maintenance and upkeep

It is vital that you properly maintain your product to keep it is good condition.  When buying your greenhouse, carefully consider how much maintenance you are able to manage when thinking about your lifestyle; the bigger the greenhouse, the more costly and time consuming maintenance or repair becomes.

• Glazing options

From glass to polycarbonate, plexiglass to poly film, there are a range of glazing options available to you and what you choose determines both the appearance and cost of your greenhouse.  It is important to consider both your budget as well as your desired aesthetics when choosing your product.  The glazing option you choose can also determine how productive your greenhouse is; definitely food for thought.

• Watering, heating, insulation and shading

It is important that you create a balanced climate in your greenhouse to create the ideal growing environment.  There are a range of different ways to create this with accessories as well as organic solutions.  Depending on your budget as well as your requirements, we can give you tailored advice.

• Access and power

Although this FAQ is at the bottom of our list, it is something that should be carefully considered.  Can you easily access the space that you are planning to install your greenhouse?  If needed, is there a power source?  Most greenhouses require some space around them for both installation and maintenance and should be planned out when picking your ideal spot.
