Spring is already around the corner and the gardening season is advancing relentlessly. Caring for seedlings is a relaxing activity for many people. Do you want it to be not only a nice time, but also useful, and your plants ripen faster and in bigger quantity? In that case, it’s time to buy a greenhouse! What shall be considered?

Location

Selection of the greenhouse location is one of the most responsible moments. It is important to foresee what greenhouse space is needed and estimate the location of the plot where you will build it. When planning the area of the future greenhouse, keep few m2 in reserve – you may want more space for your plants in the future.

Manufacturer’s advice

Edgars Maculevics [Edgars Maculevičs], CEO of Baumera, which specializes in the production and distribution of greenhouses and plastic products, states that the amount of sun is the key in selection of the most ideal place for your greenhouse, harvest. “It is very important to avoid places with a lot of shade and to follow the golden rule: it is best to build a greenhouse so that its edges are lit by the sun from the east and west, and the ends face north and south. Thus the distribution of solar heat will be more efficient and the temperature inside – more even. ”

Shape

Greenhouses can have the shape of arch, cottage, drop and other shapes. This shape is very important for the aesthetic view, but it is not only intended to satisfy different tastes:

• Arched greenhouses – perfect for lovers of simplicity: these greenhouses are extremely easy to assemble. Arched greenhouses are wider, so they are more suitable for tall plants.

•Cottage-shaped (sloping roof) greenhouses – the perfect solution for lovers of classics. The practical shape is suitable for the tallest plants, they can use as much space as possible.

• Drop-shaped greenhouses – stand out with their shape and appearance, they are suitable for those looking for originality. Drop-shaped greenhouses are slightly narrower but taller than arched ones, so they are suitable for growing both low vegetables and longer plants.

When choosing the greenhouse, it is very important to pay attention to its brand: KLASIKA greenhouses in various forms are especially appreciated here and impress with the durability, quality and excellent plant yield.

Coating

The coating is one of the first dilemmas when planning to install the greenhouse. The following options are usually considered: polycarbonate, film and glass coating.

Although glass seems a durable and aesthetic choice, polycarbonate coating has several advantages over glass: it is a safer choice. ”Polycarbonate is impact-resistant and you will avoid the risk of tearing and shattering. This material is much lighter than glass, so you can move the greenhouse with the polycarbonate coating from one place to another. The construction of the glass greenhouse is mounted on the foundations, thus making it less practical choice. In addition, the unique multi-layer polycarbonate structure not only provides excellent thermal insulation, but also helps to extend the vegetable growing season,” says E. Maculevics [E. Maculevičs].

However, when choosing polycarbonate, make sure it has a layer of ultraviolet stabilizer: such greenhouse will protect your plants from dangerous radiation and will serve you more reliably and longer.

Height

When deciding on the height of the greenhouse, consider what and how much you plan to grow. For example, when growing lettuce, peppers, aubergines, radishes and other small vegetables, the greenhouse with lower edges (for example, with height of 1.50 m) will be good choice. On the other hand, when preparing to plant taller plants, such as cucumbers or long tomatoes, you can buy the greenhouse with a wall height of 1.70-1.80 m and more.

“When deciding on the height of the construction, think about your comfort – it’s inconvenient to enter low greenhouse and work in it, and the larger the greenhouse volume, the more efficient the temperature distribution and the better the plants feel,” says Baumera CEO.

Compatibility

E. Maculevics [E. Maculevičs] confirms that the nature of the plants to be planted is important not only for deciding on the size, height and other parameters of the greenhouse, but also for the success of the planned harvest. Here are probably the most popular vegetables – cucumbers and tomatoes – the most suitable duo for one greenhouse. “Tomatoes need a dry air environment, and moist air is more suitable for cucumbers. If these vegetables are grown in the same greenhouse, the moisture affects the tomato pollen. This in turn means that the fruit will be harder to ripen. These vegetables can be grown in one greenhouse, but the yield can be lower,” emphasizes the specialist.
