When you’re trying to find out which greenhouse suits you and your needs, size is an important factor to take into account. As soon as you get into growing and start planting, you will be surprised how quickly you reach the limits of your greenhouse. It’s also a fact that the larger the greenhouse, the fewer the temperature fluctuates.
One of the options is to start with a budget greenhouse that can be expanded later on. Some greenhouses offer the opportunity to extend at the back. If you think this might be an option for you, make sure you keep enough room at the back of your greenhouse.
Small greenhouses
There’s no fixed benchmark on the size of a small greenhouse, but the most popular hobby greenhouse size is 6×8 ft. Even though we classify this as small, it still gives you plenty of space to move around. It will easily harbor a good amount of plants and vegetables in it. Given the popularity of these measurements, you will find many options to choose from. When this is still a little too big for you, 6’x’4 is also a good alternative.
When you have very limited space or no outside room, the perfect option for you can be either an indoor greenhouse or a mini greenhouse. It’s cute, fun and it will grow you one or two plants or some yummy fresh herbs and spices. Maybe this could be your first try with greenhouses? Maybe you want to know whether or not you really like it before investing in a large greenhouse for your yard.
Medium greenhouses
The standard medium greenhouse size is 8×12. Medium greenhouses will give you the opportunity to go semi-professional and grow a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and plants. It’s perfect if you have time to invest in your greenhouse and you’re willing to spend a little more. It will give you the freedom to start small and gradually expand (or dive in headfirst and go all the way from the start, of course)!
