Although gardening under glass can be a pusuit in itself, in this short section we look at a greenhouse as a useful adjunct to the garden as a whole. Its main uses are threefold: as a nursery for raising young flower and vegetable plants, to over-winter half-hardy plants, to extend the garden season of flowers, vegetables and fruit.
Types of greenhouse
A Greenhouse frame can be made of aluminium alloy or wood. Alloy is very durable, requiring very little maintenance, and the narrow glazing bars allow maximum light admission. However, metal is a better conductor of heat than wood and therefore more heat is lost through an alloy than a timber structure. Other important considerations are; Good Greenhouse Ventilation , Greenhouse Siting and Greenhouse Design.
Garden Toolsheds come in all shapes and sizes, and are usually made of wood or metal alloy. The size of shed is usually determined by what you want to store in it, so sheds for storing tools can be on the small size, however these days, one has such a range of choice sheds are getting much larger.
