A lean to greenhouse or sometimes known half greenhouse is a greenhouse structure that’s attached to a part of the wall of your house.
However, there are some things to consider in building a lean to greenhouse. Here, we’ll discuss the things to keep in mind to build a lean to greenhouse.
LOCATION
Location is a very important consideration in building a lean to greenhouse. In surveying for a location for the greenhouse you have to see to it that there’s no structure that can possible cast a shade on the greenhouse. There shouldn’t be any delicious trees in the surrounding.
The location should be such that the greenhouse would get the suitable sun exposure as this is needed for the plant’s growth. The best part for this purpose would be the south or southeast part of the house.
VENTILATION
Another important thing to keep in mind is that there should be effective airflow in the greenhouse. For some smaller lean to greenhouse, a window is enough to ventilate the greenhouse. For bigger greenhouses, you may need to put some air vents in place.
IRRIGATION AND HEATING
Irrigation is not so much of a problem with a lean to greenhouse because it is attached to the house and thus, very near to water supply. But still, you need to keep this in mind in building a lean to greenhouse.
Heating on the other hand can be such a headache especially if the plants you are growing have particular heating needs. I strongly suggest you modify the covering of the greenhouse to suit your needs as a grower. For example, plastic is good for heat retention while shade cover is best to maintin cooler temperature.
Though this wouldn’t be such a problem if you have a heating system, even a minor one in place.
DESIGN
Since the greenhouse is attached to your house, aesthetic value should be of importance. However, the design of the greenhouse should be at the same time suitable for your preference as a grower and the needs of the plants you are planning to grow.
