Greenhouse and raised beds

Greenhouses - the perfect extension to the gardening season

Greenhouses of all kinds have long been part of everyday life for both commercial nurseries and passionate hobby gardeners and it is impossible to imagine life without them. The use of greenhouses not only prolongs the gardening season, but above all promotes the healthy and splendid growth of ornamental, fruit and vegetable plants. Greenhouses are now available in all conceivable sizes and designs, whether freestanding, lean-to greenhouses or so-called foil tunnels, whereby the covering of the greenhouses is generally made from three materials, such as plastic, foil or glass. The frame construction is usually made of steel, plastic, wood or aluminium, which is becoming increasingly popular. All materials offer different advantages and disadvantages and should be selected depending on the region and its environmental conditions in order to enjoy the greenhouse for a long time and to fulfil the requirements of the respective plants.

Greenhouses made from different materials and their advantages and disadvantages

When selecting the material to cover the greenhouse, you should bear in mind that it has a major impact on the thermal insulation of the greenhouse and therefore on the growth of the plants. In the past, glass was always favoured because it is known for being the most translucent, but its thermal insulation leaves a lot to be desired. However, glass is also very susceptible to breakage, which is clearly a disadvantage in regions with frequent and heavy hailstorms. Great care must also always be taken when installing or remodelling glass greenhouses. However, glass with a rough surface is generally used for the manufacture of glass greenhouses, as normal glass can cause burns to the plants.
For some time now, plastic has been increasingly used for greenhouses, more specifically multiwall sheets made of acrylic or polycarbonate. These are not only extremely translucent, but also much more resistant to breakage and impact than glass. Both plastic variants are also very durable and less sensitive, but also more expensive to purchase.
When using the classic plastic film, it is important to ensure that it is of high quality, as this means you can enjoy your greenhouse for five to ten years. Above all, film greenhouses are considered to be quite inexpensive and yet durable in the long term.
Whichever material you choose, a greenhouse will definitely make caring for your plants a lot of fun. To get the right advice, consult an expert such as BB Handel before making a purchase. Here you will find a competent team and high-quality greenhouses.
