Greenhouse Heating Considerations by MICHELLE TORRES

Once you have your greenhouse in place you will need to start thinking about greenhouse heating, correct? Actually the best time to consider your greenhouse heating needs is before you even buy your greenhouse.
You will have to know where your greenhouse will be built. One thing the greenhouse heating requirements will be based on is the location of the greenhouse. A lean-to greenhouse built next to a home or another inculated wall will need less greenhouse heat then a stand alone greenhouse. A greenhouse that is shaded by many tall trees will have other heating issues as will a greenhouse that has no shade at all.

Another thing to consider is whether your greenhouse will be used all year long. greenhouse heating requirements will be much less if you are not planning to use the greenhouse during the winter.

Where do you reside? If you live in a warmer climate you may not need as much in the way of greenhouse heating as someone who lives in the Midwest or the northern part of the United States.

How large will your greenhouse be? The bigger the greenhouse the more greenhouse heating considerations you will probably have. Greenhouses come in all sizes and if you are buying online there will be someone who can help you figure out what your heating needs will be.

What type of portable greenhouse cover
One final consideration when you are thinking about heating your greenhouse; what will you be growing? There are some cool weather crops that require very little heating and others that will require quite a bit of heat.

So, before you order your greenhouse, consider your greenhouse heating needs.
