More information
When choosing a greenhouse, selecting the right type is just as important as size and material. The type of structure determines how the greenhouse functions in your garden, how much space it requires, and how you’ll use it throughout the seasons.
The most common option is the walk-in greenhouse – a freestanding structure tall enough for you to stand and move around inside. These greenhouses offer space for both growing and working, making them ideal for hobby gardeners and year-round use.
If you’re short on space, a lean-to greenhouse is a great solution. It’s designed to be placed against an exterior wall, taking advantage of warmth from the building while saving space. Lean-to models are perfect for patios, courtyards, or narrow side yards.
For balconies, windowsills, or compact urban gardens, a miniature greenhouse provides just enough space for seedlings, herbs, or a few decorative plants. These are also ideal for beginners or those looking for low-maintenance growing.
Portable greenhouses are flexible and easy to assemble. Made from lightweight frames and plastic covers, they’re ideal for seasonal growing, seed starting, or temporary use in rented spaces.
A cold frame greenhouse is the simplest type – usually a low, box-like structure with a clear lid. It traps heat from the sun and protects seedlings or young plants from frost, making it perfect for spring and autumn use.
Finally, a greenhouse orangery combines beauty and utility. These are often larger, high-end structures that double as garden rooms or retreats. They’re perfect for design-conscious gardeners who want a stylish addition to their outdoor space. Whatever your needs – space-saving, seasonal flexibility, or year-round performance – there’s a greenhouse type tailored to your lifestyle and growing goals.
