If you have ever thought about buying or building a greenhouse, you may have gotten lost looking at several different options. There is a vast variety of greenhouse options available online, along with many DIY examples on social media. It can be hard to choose what will be best for you.
No need to fear, Monarch Greenhouse Solutions is here! Before you invest your precious time, energy and money into a greenhouse gardening career or hobby, here are some things to consider.
What do you want to grow in your greenhouse?
The first thing to consider before buying a greenhouse is what you want to use it for. Greenhouses are meant to extend the growing season with some that even grow year round in cold climates. If you are looking to grow your own food year round you will need a different greenhouse than if you just want summer flowers. Some people even use greenhouses as a place to sit and relax among their plants. Different greenhouses fit different needs, so it is important to know what you want to grow or do before buying.
What climate do you live in?
Monarch Greenhouse Solutions is based in Northern Utah where the dry, arid summer climate with snowy winters make it necessary for greenhouses that can adapt and withstand. Some clients only want to start growing earlier so they opt for a simple greenhouse to keep young starts alive. Others want year round growth so they need a robust build with heating and cooling systems.
Another thing to consider in the Mountain West is snow load and wind load. If you live in a place that receives a fair amount of snowfall, make sure to double check the snow-load rating on the greenhouse you plan on building. Or contact us and we can help you find the greenhouse that will best suit your climate.
What Design are you looking for?
As stated before, there are tons of greenhouse designs out there. Some are simple and practical while others are extravagant. When looking at different types of greenhouses remember the first things mentioned – what do you plan on growing? And what is your climate like? It is also important to consider what your budget is. The best design is one that allows you to grow what you want/need, can withstand your climate and looks good doing it.
