Dome Greenhouse Kits
Build A Greenhouse the Right Way by Julia Russo
History of Greenhouses
Despite the clever design principles of a greenhouse, you might be surprised to learn that they have actually been around for quite a long time. From as early as 30 A.D., the greenhouse has been in existence. Made of roughly pieced thin translucent sheets of mineral known as mica, the great Roman Emperor Tiberius was able to enjoy his cucumbers all year round. The art of Building A Greenhouse has evolved throughout the centuries. With styles ranging from the classic dome shape to the common gable roof design, all are unique and serve a different function. In earlier centuries, a greenhouse was considered to be a distinctive symbol of wealth for the Europeans. So much so that even the ever-abundant orange trees of today were housed in massive structures of greenhouses to keep away from frost during the winter. Nowadays, it may not take as much effort as in the past to build a greenhouse of your own but it certainly can provide many advantages.
Planning Your Greenhouse
There are many factors to be aware of if you are going to Build Your Own Greenhouse. Since the position of the greenhouse matters the most, it is best to decide on a location first. In real estate, most successful businesses often rely on location and the same rule applies with where to build a greenhouse. To thrive, plants need an adequate amount of heat and sunlight. So placing the greenhouse in a level, sunny location is a must. Also, the type of material that composes the greenhouse is another factor that must not be overlooked. Luckily, these days, there are many transparent and durable materials from which to build a greenhouse. A wide range of materials such as plastic sheets (also known as polyethylene films), green screens, glass, and fiberglass are readily available.
Benefits of Greenhouses
Having your own greenhouse provides many benefits. For instance, in northern climates, greenhouses give you the power to extend your growing season and can provide a space for growing plants year round. In addition, they protect plants from birds, insects, and other pests and so plants grown in a greenhouse need less insecticides and pesticides. Greenhouses also provide a space to grow plants you might not otherwise be able to grow in your climate like tropical plants. With all of these advantageous, a greenhouse is something for all serious gardeners to consider. And with the availability of portable greenhouses and greenhouse kits, building your own greenhouse is easier than ever!
