Why A Greenhouse?

As you stroll through your garden, the sun’s rays intensively shine down upon your plants. It’s been an unpredictably dry season ﹘ the soil is cracked and dry, longing for nourishment…Your produce isn’t looking too good.

 

That’s it. You decide to step up your gardening skills and invest in a greenhouse. You don’t understand what the big fuss is about but decide to give a try. Little did you know about the handful of opportunities that came with it.

 

Maybe you want to grow year round. Or perhaps you reside in bipolar weather. Whatever the situation, greenhouse gardening is effective and essential. In fact, it’s becoming a popular trend due to its beneficial advantages. Step up your gardening skills and consider creating your personal ecosystem. Below we provided some beneficial factors of these essential houses.


Why a Greenhouse?

    • A major advantage a greenhouse gives you is flexibility. Greenhouses give you the liberty to plant whatever you want ‒ whenever you want. From winter to summer, you’re the one in control.

 

    • Being able to avoid the plant-destructive seasons takes away the worry of droughts and  floods. You have the authority to adjust the temperature and humidity depending on your plant requirements. They also allow you to control the amount of light and ventilation your plants receive.

 

  • Keeping your plants outside exposes them to harsh weather conditions and pests. With no protection, their reproduction will be severely disturbed. A greenhouse will eliminate termites, and thus create an effective garden.

Fruits and vegetables are healthy and organic. They are also pretty expensive and prices have done nothing but rise. Growing, processing, and transporting makes them costly. Gardening, in general, helps you save money because it continuously produces goods. When you upgrade to a greenhouse, you can grow whatever you choose year round.


 

 

We have had used skylight panels for the sides and roof, giving us a nice viewing of the anatomy of a well-made building. Then we added windows to allow ventilation and anchors to keep it standing strong. It’s sturdy and appealing to the eye.

 

Investing in something that will save you more in the future is worth doing. Consider enhancing your garden with a greenhouse. You won’t regret it and neither will your plants.

The Many Ways to Use a Lean To Unit

Lean to units are pretty unique. They actually tilt onto another structure to create a seamless look. They are also usually the smaller shed option of the group, however, if used correctly, they can really be effective.

 

When it comes to shed or carport options for your home, nothing is more versatile than a lean to unit. If you are interested in getting one, here are a few creative ways on how you can use them.

 

Use Your Lean To Unit

 

…As a Tractor Shed

Don’t leave your tractor trailer out in the rain or snow. Instead get a lean to shed for house, your yard or agricultural equipment. A lean to unit is the perfect size to keep your trailer or any other small tools.

 

… As a Greenhouse

If you have always dreamed of owning a greenhouse, why not make one by customizing a lean to unit?  If you want a DIY project, all you need is a few old windows and a really good tutorial.

 

Better yet, you can consult a carport expert to have them build one for you.

 

…As a Wood Storage Shed

Need a safe place to store your firewood before winter? Well, a lean to is perfect for the job. By enclosing the lean to, you can also keep pests and bugs away and keep the firewood in tip top shape.

 

…As a Bike Storage Shed

Unless you have an extra-large garage carport, finding somewhere to put your bicycles when they are not in use can be cumbersome. Sure, you can find a hiding spot in your garage or hand it on the wall in the interior of your garage, but that is a lot of work. This is especially true if each family member owns a bike. By adding a lean to along side of your garage, you have an instant bike hutch that is easily accessible for even the smallest person in your family.

 

… As a Gardening Shed

A lean to unit is the perfect hideaway for your gardening tools. Add a few hooks to the walls of your lean to carport then hang your tools for easy access. You can also add a few shelves to hold your pots and soil, or even a small desk to use as a garden workstation.
