Wheres the best location for my greenhouse?
Lean-to models will depend on the design of your home and where a greenhouse will look best and fit appropriately. If you will be using your greenhouse house for growing plants, youll want to consider exposure to the sun. The preferred exposure is southern, followed by southeastern, southwestern eastern and western. You want to choose an area that gets 6-8 hours of sunlight per day or you can consider supplementing the lighting with grow lights. Freestanding models are not as affected by directional exposure since all walls are glazed. It can be helpful to have a natural windbreak on the north side to reduce heating costs and strategically located deciduous trees on the south can provide some necessary shading in the summer and allow full sunlight in the winter.
