Contrary to common believe, a very simple looking greenhouses can be extremely expensive as well. Prebuilt, ready to go greenhouses are hardly what people are looking for as everybody has different uses and needs for his greenhouse. Manufacturers have realized this problem and nowadays, the majority of the products is delivered in so called greenhouts kits that allow the buyer to customize in every aspect up to his needs.
So unless you can afford a custom built greenhouse, a kit is the perfect solution for you. It enables you to get a very nice and customized greenhouse, yet being very affordable at the same time. There’s no talent or knowledge needed to construct a greenhouse from a kit, as the instructions are really easy to follow and everybody who’s able to carry out really simple tasks himself should be easily able to build it form the ground with a kit.
The first question you should ask yourself is: why do I want a greenhouse and what am I going to use it for? If you put much weight into an elegant design, wood greenhouse kits are just the perfect thing for you. With the frames being made out of wood, it looks classy and at the same time is robust enough for a 10+ years lifetime.
These types of kits are really easy to handle as you don’t need to do any cutting work. With the glazing being right built into the frame, it’s a set and go. You avoid all the trouble of having to customize the glasses to the frames, eliminate the risk of glasses being broken and in the end don’t have any glass cutting to do at all. With the most kits using polycarbonate glazing, the risk of broken glasses is reduced significantly as polycarbonate glasses aren’t likely to break as easily as traditional glas.
While listing all the advantages of wood greenhouse kits, there’s one downside as well. The cost. They don’t come cheap starting at around 800 with virtually no limit.
In case you’re not prepared or simply just cannot commit for such a big cost, kits with aluminium frames won’t be an option neither. They normally start at around 2000 and have, same as wood, no real limit set. While some people don’t like the design of aluminium kits, one must admit that there are a lot of decent looking designs on the market nowadays and the times of odd, crusty looking aluminium greenhouses are definitely over. Their big advantage is a very long lifetime of the greenhouse.
In case you’re seeking for a more affordable option, somewhere between 800 and 2000, you will end up in the hobyb section of your greenhouse market. On that sort of a budget, you will not have many choices left, especially not below the 1000 mark. With the overall quality being a bit lower to the wood and aluminium greenhouses, they’re still good enough for people just getting their feet wet in gardening. They offer enough spaces for your first plants and in overall do a pretty good job of keeping the right climate in your glasshouse across the whole year. The microclimate you can create with these and very little costs compared to the first two options is another point why many beginners decide for hobby products instead of investing at least double the amount into a more professional solution.
