Wooden Greenhouse

Building a wooden greenhouse successfully requires starting with proper planning.  Wood is preferred because it is a natural material. The house must be a conducive place for plants and vegetables to have the best chances of growing strong and healthy. A plan of the structure will show how much wood and other materials are needed. A budget can now be made for the purchase of every necessary item.

The size of the structure will be determined by the available space in the yard.  There are a lot of DIY guides with different plans that could be selected. Each plan also comes with a list of materials required for its completion. It is better to locate the structure at the highest part of the yard. This will help irrigation water to flow off easily and prevent the swamp effect of stagnant water.

A good drainage system should be built for the greenhouse starting with the foundation. As said earlier, water must be able to flow easily. It is important to spend time to get this stage right. There are a couple of materials that are commonly used to cover the structure after completion. These are glass, plastic and polycarbonate. A lot of gardeners prefer to use polycarbonate because of added beauty.

Utility cost should be factored into the planning of the structure. A greenhouse not only needs the sun which is free but also abundant water supply and electricity.  These are costs that will be borne during the construction and throughout the lifetime of the structure.

There are several online stores where simple DIY guides can be purchased for a little amount of money. They will offer more detailed information for making a success of building a wooden greenhouse. Using the guide will help to prevent the waste of time and money that trial and error methods will cause.
