  • Where shall I build a greenhouse?

    Hi All

    I am planning to build a greenhouse in the garden but I'm not sure what the best place it is for it in terms of sunlight. I've checked a few books but none of them mention whether it should be in sunny or shaded position, they mainly talk about heating.

    My garden is NorthEast-facing and I would like to build the greenhouse on the side of the house where it would get about 2/3 hours (if that) of sun in the summer. Would this work?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Greenhouse siting

    I can appreciate the problem. My new (well, second-hand )greenhouse is situated alongside a fence. It gets the sun from Dawn til about noon, full on, then the roof gets the sun from noon til dark. Unless you have a big plot or a clear plot, the greenhouse has to go where it fits and is most convenient - whether it fits with the ideal site according to the experts. All I can say is enjoy - have waited years for a garden big enough to have a greenhouse, and intend to use it too the max !

      Thanks for your reply rat . When I was a little girl I spent many afternoons with my mum in her greenhouse, and now I can't wait to have my own!!!
