What Factors Should I Consider When Buying A Greenhouse?

Oct. 14, 2021

As gardeners, we now face the additional risk of unexpected weather events. Growing our main crop in a greenhouse, or starting the crop early in a small greenhouse, is our best guarantee of a fruitful harvest in uncertain times. So what factors should we consider when buying a greenhouse, the next greenhouse supplier explains what to consider when buying a greenhouse.

Ventilation

Overheating is a major cause of greenhouse plant failure. Greenhouses must maintain warm air in the cooler months, but also need to release hot air in the warmer months. When choosing a greenhouse, consider airflow. There should be enough space for air to move in and out of the structure. Look for vents near the top of the structure and bottom vents for air intake.

 

In addition to manually operated vents, solar blinds are available to ensure that the vents open when needed. This allows you to get away from the garden during the hottest part of the day without having to worry about overheating your plants. Some greenhouse designs are also equipped with exhaust fans to prevent overheating in the spring and summer months.

Panel clarity: diffused (opaque) vs. transparent

Some greenhouse designs have transparent coverings or panels, while other models have translucent or opaque coverings. And some conservatory models have semi-diffused coverings, which offer some of the advantages of transparent and diffused models.

 

Transparent panels provide direct light, while opaque panels provide diffused light. If you want to buy a greenhouse to germinate seeds and grow ferments that will be transplanted outdoors, then the advantage of a clear mulch is that it brings plenty of direct light to the ferment trays. This warms the soil and encourages germinating seeds to germinate and develop into vigorous starting plants for transplanting.

 

If you plan to grow plants to maturity in a greenhouse, the advantage of scattered mulch is that it provides even light for balanced foliage growth and prevents hot spots in the greenhouse.

Although it may seem counter-intuitive, diffused light provides superior light for plant growth. Diffused light may not appear as bright as direct light, but the light that usually produces the most effective photosynthesis is invisible to the human eye. Diffused light reaches your plants from multiple angles, so plants don't 'grow legs' as they would if they were competing with each other to grow towards the available light. With diffused lighting, plants can form a more balanced and compact structure.

 

For gardeners who want a dual-purpose greenhouse, the semi-diffuse cover offers the advantages of both a transparent cover and a diffuse cover. The semi-diffuse cover provides enough 'semi-direct light for early spring seed multiplication and once the starter is in place the greenhouse can be used to grow full moon crops inside. The semi-diffuse cover provides a versatile greenhouse.

  

As a general rule, transparent greenhouses provide warmer, more direct light, which facilitates seed multiplication. Greenhouses with diffused covers are ideal for growing crops in a full season. Greenhouses with semi-diffused covers offer the benefits of both. Some greenhouse designs with diffusion covers on the roof and transparent covers on the sides offer some benefits for each.

Durability

The covering material for your greenhouse needs to be strong enough to resist damage from hazards associated with the growing area. If there are trees nearby, the mulch should be protected from falling branches. It should be resistant to hail and have sufficient impact strength. If you live in an area where it snows or freezes in winter, the greenhouse mulch must be strong enough to support the extra weight. The shape may also affect the strength of the load and how your greenhouse disperses rain and snow. From classic peaked roofs to hexagonal and geodesic domes, there are many different types of conservatory to choose from.

 

Customization

You should be able to configure shelving to suit your greenhouse gardening plans. Shallow shelves are ideal for germinating seeds and establishing starter plants, but mature plants require higher shelf spacing. Some greenhouses are designed to accommodate extension kits, providing you with more growing space.
