A greenhouse makes it possible to extend the gardening season, grow your own vegetables and create a green oasis in the garden. Whether you have a large garden or a small terrace, there is a greenhouse to suit your needs. In this article, you will get an overview of the most important considerations to make before investing in a greenhouse, as well as an introduction to the different types and brands on the market.

The article presents a wide selection of greenhouses in various sizes, materials and price ranges. The aim is to provide an overview of the most common solutions so that you can find the greenhouse that best suits your garden and growing plans. The product information is based on publicly available descriptions from manufacturers and retailers and has been summarised to provide a clear and informative overview.

Factors to consider when buying a greenhouse

When choosing a greenhouse, there are several practical and aesthetic factors to take into account. Here are some of the most important ones.

1. Size and placement

Consider how much space you have in the garden and how much you want to grow. A small greenhouse may be enough for herbs and tomatoes, while a larger one provides space for both vegetables and seating. The location should be sunny and sheltered from the wind, and the base should be stable.

2. Material

Greenhouses are usually made of aluminium, steel or wood. Aluminium is lightweight and requires minimal maintenance, while wood gives a classic look but requires more care. The panels can be made of glass or polycarbonate – glass provides an elegant appearance and good light transmission, while polycarbonate is lighter and more impact-resistant.

3. Ventilation and temperature control

Good ventilation is crucial for plant health. Look for models with opening windows or automatic window openers. During warm periods, shading nets and automatic ventilation can help keep the temperature down.

4. Foundation and assembly

A solid foundation ensures stability and extends the life of the greenhouse. Some models come with ready-made bases, while others require a cast foundation. Also consider how easy the greenhouse is to assemble – some systems are designed for DIY installation.

5. Price and maintenance

The price depends on size, material and features. A more expensive greenhouse can be an investment in quality and durability, but the most important thing is that it suits your needs and your garden. Remember to take into account ongoing maintenance and any accessories such as shelves, irrigation systems and heat sources.

Why it was chosen: This greenhouse was chosen as an example of a classic and affordable polycarbonate greenhouse with solid construction and practical features such as a roof window and sliding door. It represents a typical solution for hobby gardeners who want a robust greenhouse in a standard size.

The greenhouse in silver-coloured aluminium has a total area of 5.97 m² and is constructed with polycarbonate panels that provide a good balance between light transmission and insulation. The material protects the plants from harmful UV rays and helps create a stable growing environment.

Durable garden greenhouse
Greenhouse poly silver 191x313x191cm
A freestanding greenhouse with an aluminium frame, polycarbonate panels and a galvanised steel base that provides a stable and functional space for growing plants and vegetables.
Why it was chosen: This greenhouse was chosen as an example of a classic and affordable polycarbonate greenhouse with solid construction and practical features such as a roof window and sliding door. It represents a typical solution for hobby gardeners who want a robust greenhouse in a standard size.

The greenhouse in silver-coloured aluminium has a total area of 5.97 m² and is constructed with polycarbonate panels that provide a good balance between light transmission and insulation. The material protects the plants from harmful UV rays and helps create a stable growing environment.

The frame is made of galvanised steel, which increases resistance to rust and extends the life of the greenhouse. The combination of aluminium and steel provides a light yet stable construction.

The greenhouse is equipped with a roof window that can be opened for ventilation and a sliding door that provides easy access and the ability to regulate air circulation. This makes it easier to control temperature and humidity so that the plants have optimal growing conditions.

The polycarbonate panels have lower light transmission than glass, which reduces the risk of overheating and sunburn on the plants. At the same time, the material helps retain heat during the colder months.

For best stability, it is recommended to mount the greenhouse on a base and possibly supplement it with a downpipe so that rainwater can be drained away or collected for irrigation.

  • Material: Polycarbonate panels with aluminium frame and galvanised steel base.
  • Ventilation: Roof window and sliding door provide good air circulation.
  • UV protection: Polycarbonate protects plants from harmful UV light.
  • Insulating properties: The material helps maintain a stable temperature.
  • Compact size: 5.97 m² growing area suitable for smaller gardens.

Different types of greenhouses

There are many types of greenhouses, each suitable for different purposes and gardens.

1. Freestanding greenhouses

The classic model that stands freely in the garden provides optimal light and space for many plants. They come in many sizes and designs – from small hobby greenhouses to large orangeries.

2. Wall greenhouses

A wall greenhouse is mounted against the wall of a house or garage. It is ideal for small gardens or terraces where space is limited. The wall acts as a heat store and can extend the season.

3. Mini greenhouses

Perfect for balconies or small gardens. They protect plants from cold and wind and are easy to move around. Suitable for pre-cultivating plants in spring.

4. Tunnel and film greenhouses

A flexible and affordable solution often used for temporary cultivation. They are easy to set up and move but less durable than permanent structures.

5. Orangeries

An orangery combines function and aesthetics. It is used both for growing and as a social space where you can enjoy the garden all year round. Orangeries are often larger and more decorative than traditional greenhouses.

Frequently asked questions

How large a greenhouse should I choose?

It depends on what you want to grow and how much space you have. As a rule of thumb, most people quickly appreciate a little extra space, as the need for expansion often arises after a short time.

Should a greenhouse be in full sun?

Yes, greenhouses thrive best in sunny environments, but avoid locations with constant wind. Make sure there is easy access to water and electricity if you plan to install heating or lighting.

How do I avoid overheating in the greenhouse?

Ventilation is key. Use opening windows, automatic openers or shading nets on hot days. During very warm periods, you can also leave the door open for airflow.

Which plants are best suited for greenhouses?

Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and herbs are classics. You can also grow exotic plants such as lemon trees or chillies if you can keep the temperature stable.

How do I maintain my greenhouse?

Clean the glass and frames a couple of times a year and check seals and screws. Remove wilted plants and soil residues to avoid pests. A clean greenhouse provides healthier plants and better growth.
