Choose the Best Position for Greenhouse


The first thing to decide upon is where you are going to position your greenhouse, as this will often determine what size you can accommodate. Don’t forget to allow enough room to access the sides of the structure for cleaning and maintenance.


Sunlight

You first need to think about where you’re going to put your greenhouse in your garden. It’s universally accepted that positioning your greenhouse so that one side of it is facing south to get as much sun as possible is the best idea. If this isn’t possible then remember that the actual roof of the greenhouse will be getting most of the sunlight in any case and this alone will be enough to keep the greenhouse nice and warm.


Shelter from Wind

It is important to shelter your greenhouse from harsh winds, by placing near a fence or hedge; or indeed erecting a fence nearby, will help to protect it from the elements; similar avoid placing it near trees as these could cause potential damage to your greenhouse, especially if they have hanging branches.


Accessibility

You want to ensure that you are going to have easy access to your greenhouse; this includes not placing it near to walls or fences which block access and not placing it miles away from your home as this might not be clever when you need to access it on a cold, wet night. It is also essential, if you need a water or electricity supply in your greenhouse that you consider this when choosing the positioning to ensure the supply reaches the greenhouse.
