Extendable Greenhouses
Buying a greenhouse can represent a major investment. It’s something which requires careful thought. You need to consider not only what your needs are today, but also what they’re likely to be in years to come, and you need to balance your ambitions against your budget. Fortunately, the advent of the extendable greenhouse has made these decisions a lot easier.
When you’re choosing the greenhouse that’s right for you, you may well prefer greenhouse kits over pre-built models, especially if you’re trying to save money. Among the simplest of these kits to construct are hoop greenhouses, which involve stretching a polyethylene covering over a metal or fiberglass frame.
Extendable greenhouses take this principle a step further by structuring the greenhouse frame in sections. This means that, after buying a basic model, you can later choose to buy additional sections to add to it, to extend it according to your gardening needs.
Extendable greenhouses make it possible for you to get started immediately without breaking the bank, yet with the option of expanding your greenhouse gardening projects when you’ve been able to save up more money. This way, you can get that extra space without the extra expense and hassle of getting rid of your old greenhouse and buying a whole new one.
Extendable greenhouse kits are generally easy to assemble and to add to, though you’ll find it useful to have a friend to help with assembly. You may need to take your plants into your house temporarily so that they stay warm as you add new sections, but as the process can be completed in just a couple of days it’s unlikely that they’ll be traumatized. Or better yet, wait until summertime to extend your greenhouse and do some deep cleaning of the old unit at the same time.
An extendable greenhouse is a great option if you’re new to the hobby and want to try things out without immediately sacrificing too much of the space in your garden. This flexible approach makes greenhouse gardening easier than ever.
