• Size, safety and ease of installation are the first factors to bear in mind.
• The desired longevity of your greenhouse will influence the construction and maintenance.
• Aluminium is cheaper than wood and glass is better than polycarbon.
• Access for you plus light and ventilation are important. A window and or louvers are needed.
• Extra equipment such as benches shelves and staging can be added later.
