Before I decided to learn how to construct a greenhouse, I've actually browsed through the internet for a greenhouse kit. I've considered just buying a ready made greenhouse kit but after gone through several of those and seeing prices that would leave a hole in the budget, I just decided to construct a greenhouse myself.

And to anyone considering the same thing, I'd suggest you do the same too. And, no, it's not just about the money, though, it's largely the reason when I first started. In the process of constructing a greenhouse, I become more familiar with factors that affect plant propagation and I was able to customize the greenhouse to suit my needs a grower.

Here are some things I have to consider to construct a greenhouse:

BUDGET

I started with a clear budget. In my case, this was pretty easy as I have an idea, more or less, on how much I can spend on the greenhouse. But if you don't have an idea on what your budget might be, you can just browse through the prices of a greenhouse kit. You can use it as point of reference in setting a budget as I know from experience that constructing a greenhouse yourself is way cheaper than those kits available on the market.

SKILLS

Admittedly, I'm not much of a builder myself however, I do know some carpentry basics so I was able to construct my greenhouse in no time. Same with you, you also need to consider your level of skills in deciding what type of greenhouse to build as there are types of greenhouses that's easier to build as there are greenhouses that would take a more advanced carpentry skills.

MATERIALS

What materials are you going to use. This factor would depend on a number of things. One is your skills as stated previously. It is considerably easier to build a pvc greenhouse than it is to build a wooden greenhouse in terms of skill set.

Another thing to consider here is your needs as a grower. What types of plants are you planning to grow? What is the weather condition in your area? Do you have a big area for your greenhouse?

These are just some of the questions that you need to keep in mind.

DESIGN

The greenhouse design is also of importance in terms of functionality as well as aesthetic value of the greenhouse. I don't know about you but if I have to put in some effort and invest some time in constructing a greenhouse, might as well build something I can show to my neighbors and friends.

Of course, that doesn't mean I have to compromise on functionality either. But if you have gone through the factors discussed earlier, it is easier to construct a greenhouse with functionality in mind.

Personally, when I was learning how to construct a greenhouse, I had the help of a resource that I found so useful. This guide will go through the imperatives in constructing a greenhouse that's suitable for you as a grower as well as beautiful.
