Frame and Safety Glass GreenhousesThe Gardeners World Guide to Frame and Glass GreenhousesAs enthusiasm for your garden grows, so does the temptation of investing in a good- quality greenhouse. Whether you are a serious veteran looking to protect prized specimens, wanting a safe and warm place for more delicate plants during the winter, or are looking for basic seed germination, then Gardeners World can help you make the right choice. With so many competing greenhouse designs on the market, that choice can be more daunting than you first realise. If you are simply looking for straightforward protection and germination then stick to the non- fussy and simpler styles and don't get too bogged down with elaborate accessories. Try the compact little Acorn greenhouse; ideal for first time buyers:Acorn Greenhouse .Although small, compact greenhouses are ideal for seed germination on a small scale, it can be tempting to think you can cram all your plants into a smaller model. Don't limit yourself to a 4ft x 4ft if space and money allow an 8ft x 6ft because, as you see the benefits of growing in a controlled environment you will want to expand your space proportionally. Aluminium greenhouses are durable and reliable and with galvanised steel bases can withstand poor weather conditions- something gardens are often exposed to in Britain. Glass is the most common glazing material for greenhouses, but horticultural grade plastic is an alternative, perhaps more expensive but safer when children are around for example the Acorn Greenhouse with Safety Glass is a super alternative to the compact Acorn to keep pets and children safe in your garden. Good ventilation is vital, as during summer temperatures can rise without warning scorching tender plants. Your greenhouse should have at least one ventilator and the maximum temperature must not exceed 27°C. To keep the temperature under control during summer you can also use net curtains or bubble wrap to diffuse the worst of the suns rays. The most important accessory for your greenhouse has to be staging. Drainage is also vital and any commercial staging will have plenty of this, usually from the slatted design. If you are able try to have one end of your greenhouse facing the rising sun, well away from tall trees, shrubs or hedges. Make sure that your greenhouse has a flat and firm base to which it is securely bolted.
