Greenhouse Foundation
When you are getting ready to erect your greenhouse you have a few choices to make about what type of
foundation you would like to have or whether you want one at all. Keep in mind that each type of foundation
has its own price tag and amount of work to build, but many are easily accomplished with just a little know
how. You can hire a contractor to build your foundation if you must, but it does cost a little more.
Depending on the size of the greenhouse, you may need a foundation or not. Larger greenhouse owners like
to use a foundation to absorb the heat during the day to keep the greenhouse warm all night. You do have a
few choices. The three types of greenhouse foundations are treated wood, concrete and brick. There are
many hobby greenhouse kits that do not require a foundation at all because they are so easy to heat.
Popular flooring for a smaller hobby greenhouse is the use of wood because it is less expensive. You can
build a foundation out of many types of sizes of wood, brick or block. When you are considering using
concrete for the foundation and the floor of your greenhouse you might like to learn about water drains to
keep the floor dry in the greenhouse.
When you are starting to build a foundation for your greenhouse make sure your start with a level dirt floor.
Build your foundation and walls as square and solid as possible so that you can trust your greenhouse for
years to come. If you are going to put something below the foundation of your greenhouse because you are
worried about moisture creeping up into the greenhouse, consider the use of plastic sheeting of some type
as insulation. Never use mulch or straw, as this will become a nest for bugs and pests that will wreak havoc
in your greenhouse and with your plants.
Maybe you have been looking for a method to expand your gardening hobby, maybe you love the look of a

Maybe you have been looking for a method to expand your gardening hobby, maybe you love the look of a
greenhouse in your garden or maybe you are just wanting to start a new hobby that you can do in the winter
months when the snow flies – well, a hobby greenhouse can fit all of these needs! A greenhouse is a place
where in your own lawn or yard area that you can grow whatever type of plant, flower or vegetable (and
fruits!) that you desire. The hobby greenhouse is a special place that you can design with flowers or plants
and let your imagination run wild as you act like ‘mother nature’.
A greenhouse is best known as a structure for growing plants year round. You plant what you want, when
you want and how you want. You control the sun, the lights, the water, the heat, and the cool air. The hobby
greenhouse is usually constructed of a clear or semi clear substance that allows light in to the growing area
so you can harness the power of the sun for your plants. If you like to grow plants that require little
sunlight, you can use a shade cloth all of the time, and you can create shelving that makes shade in the
greenhouse. No matter what climate you live in you can expand your gardening hobby into the winter
months with a greenhouse. You can grow in the winter, spring, fall or in the summer! You can see some
photos at GreenhouseStore.com where you will see first hand some photos of greenhouse blooming in the
winter!
Greenhouse ventilation is one of the most important ‘things’ that you learn about for a greenhouse to help
you be successful. If you do not pay particular attention to your greenhouse ventilation, your greenhouse
could become too hot or too humid for your plants and flowers to grow properly. One of the most important
features about a Greenhouse ventilation system is to make sure the air changes within the greenhouse to
offer the plants the best mix of carbon dioxide to absorb. A complete mix of air in the greenhouse would be
the circulation of new air about every three or four minutes in the inside of the greenhouse to keep the
temperature at its lowest during the summer months. When summer air stands still in the greenhouse it will
rise in temperature because of the Greenhouse panels absorbing the sunlight.
In addition to the fans in your greenhouse you should add vents to your greenhouse structure. Vents in the
roof and in the sidewalls will help the air flow for circulating during the hottest of summer months. You can
use roof and side vents to cool the greenhouse in the spring and fall months without the use of Greenhouse
circulating fans to keep your electric bills lower.
During the time of the year when the cold air and winter months are creeping up, opening and closing your
Greenhouse vents allows the plants and flowers to become accustomed to the colder climate while still
being productive but yet not freezing. Using greenhouse fans in combination with the greenhouse vents
during the hottest months of the growing season will also circulate hot spots or hot air so that your plants
won’t wilt and burn off. During the summer months there are many hobby greenhouse gardeners who use
automatic greenhouse ventilation systems to open and close their greenhouse vents. If you are away for a
couple of days and do not open your greenhouse vents you could come home to a greenhouse filled with
wilted and dried out plants.
Your greenhouse ventilation needs and circulating air needs during the winter months are less critical. You
should learn about the automatic greenhouse watering systems, greenhouse ventilation systems and other
automatic systems that provide the stable environment for your greenhouse plants, if you are a hobby
gardener who is always on the go so that you can best benefit from your greenhouse.
There are many styles and types of greenhouses. One type of greenhouse that interests some gardeners is
the attached or lean-to greenhouse. An attached greenhouse is physically attached to another building,
which could be a garage, a shed or a house. An attached greenhouse is a great option for someone with a
limited yard or a limited ability to get in and out of the greenhouse.
A lean to greenhouse will receive less sunlight during the course of the day because it is attached to another
structure that will cause a shadow across the greenhouse. Choose a section of your home that receives the
most sun over the course of the day when you want to use an attached greenhouse to your home. Good luck
in the placement of your greenhouse and enjoy the wonders of gardening all year round!
