Abstract
Covers everything you need to choose, build, use, and maintain a greenhouse for your home, garden, or institution. The types of greenhouses are discussed including freestanding greenhouses, additions to your home, window greenhouses, cold frames, growth chambers, and garden structures. The book will help you choose between building from a plan, buying a kit, or buying a used greenhouse. It covers construction planning, hiring a contractor, purchasing a used greenhouse, building permits, framing materials, glazing, heating and cooling, layouts, equipment, and utilities. Over 140 line drawings show greenhouse types, equipment, tools, construction details, and layouts. Plans, materials lists, and construction notes for nine greenhouses and a cold frame. Useful to gardeners, homeowners, educators, small farmers, retirement homes, schools, and other institutions.
