When considering the purchase of a place to grow things, you have to consider cost, space, materials, and how many plants you wish to be able to fit into the structure. One little known fact is that taller portable greenhouses can save money because they're easier to provide for heat and ventilation. Also, it's always better if you can move about easily. It's not so much fun to tend to plants when you have to duck to avoid bumping your head. And it may come as a surprise to some that even a small greenhouse can offer ease of movement if the sides are high enough and the roof is sufficiently peaked. Our wooden greenhouse structures, like the redwood Santa Barbara, offer six foot sides that are even higher than that in the center, so there's lots of room for the easy movement of air and the comfort of the gardener.
Another feature to consider when setting up a large or small greenhouse is benches. Sure, you can set your seed starters on the ground, but eventually, you'll probably want them up where you are, at working height, set out nicely on benches that are typically wooden. Greenhouse benches offered by SBGreenhouse.com are customized to fit in the home greenhouses we sell, so you don't have to do much more than ask us for the best fit. We've already considered the best width and length for your benches so that they will hold flats of seedlings easily. In addition to getting your plants up at working level, it's important that there's plenty of vertical room. After all, plants, naturally, grow. To give them room to reach their full potential you want as much vertical, and, for that matter, horizontal room as possible.
