Advantages of 6x6 Greenhouses


Lots of people choose to build 6x6 greenhouses in their gardens for a variety of reasons. Greenhouses offer convenience and control of your gardening, allowing you to grow plants to their best potential and enjoy the sometimes-literal fruits of your labour year round

One reason people choose to build 6x6 greenhouses is that they allow you to grow fruits and vegetables without being restricted by colder months. Certain vegetables need to grow in warm conditions – tomatoes, for example, need warmth to thrive, and so are best grown in a greenhouse. On the other hand, if you find your greenhouse is too warm then you can easily use an automatic vent opener to let some cool air in when your greenhouse gets too warm. This means that you can regulate temperature without having to rush outside every time the sun pops out. 

Similarly, greenhouses also protect from adverse weather such as heavy rain which I have seen personally destroy my lovingly grown allotment patch. When safely inside a greenhouse they won’t be affected, and you can rest assured your plants will survive.

Greenhouses also help protect your crops from other nuisances such as cats, rats and mice. Housing your plants inside their own little house stops animals getting to the plants and eating or destroying them, ensuring that you never have any unexpectedly ruined crops.

Finally, another particularly popular advantage of building 6x6 greenhouses is that they allow you to save on fruit and veg, since you can grow so many of them! These days we’re all trying to scrimp and save wherever we can and whilst the initial costs might put you slightly out of pocket, the long-term result is potentially considerable savings on fruit and veg.

Why 6x6 greenhouses?

When choosing your greenhouse, you need to take the size of the greenhouse into careful consideration. A greenhouse that is too small will restrict the amount you can grow, but if you are a beginner then a greenhouse that is too big may prove hard to handle. 6x6 greenhouses are a good compromise, providing a decent amount of space for plants whilst being a manageable size.
