Greenhouse Kits
The best greenhouse kits offer a variety of materials that can be tailored to fit the climate in which you live. For example, if you live in an area of the United States that experiences heavy snowfalls in the wintertime, it’s important to choose a model with thick panels and a robust covering that will provide adequate insulation properties. Similarly, if your area experience hot summers, you’ll want to consider a greenhouse kit with a lightweight cover that allows sunlight to penetrate deep into the plant canopy.
While many Greenhouse Emporium kits come ready to ship in a box and require little assembly, some are built for you and can take up to 4 weeks to arrive. When this is the case, you should be aware that you won’t be able to make changes such as changing the pitch of the roof or altering the glass.
Exploring Affordable Greenhouse Kits: Growing on a Budget
For those looking for a compact, portable greenhouse kit, this one from Outsunny offers a solid build with a locking door and a latching window. Its fir frame is weather-resistant, and its polycarbonate windows block damaging UV rays while providing ample light for growing plants. It also comes with a cold frame closing top, making it possible to garden year-round. The only drawback is that the polyethylene covering can be weak against strong winds, and it’s not load-rated to prevent collapse if snow accumulates.
This squat, shelf-less greenhouse is a great option for growing seedlings and vegetables or for protecting your more delicate, high-humidity houseplants. It’s easy to move and reposition on the patio with its four locking caster wheels, and it’s also simple to bring indoors during unfavorable weather conditions.
