Portable Greenhouse – Jumpstart Your Springtime Gardening

 A portable greenhouse is an excellent way to get your plants ready for springtime weather. Like stationary greenhouses, portable greenhouses are a wonderful option and are often a necessary item for those of you who live in colder regions. On the other hand, for those of you not living in colder climates, who have plants that don’t require a year round outdoor home, a portable greenhouse is an excellent alternative for you!

Portable greenhouses are an inexpensive and simple way to jumpstart your springtime gardening and extend the season into fall. What’s more, they are easy to assemble, disassemble and store! All of you out there with that perpetual green thumb could benefit from a portable greenhouse.

A portable greenhouse, while not as sturdy as a stationary greenhouse, can still withstand heavy wind and rain. Although they require few or no tools for assembly, most brands come equipped with anchoring supplies that will ensure that your greenhouse can stand up to 50 mile per hour winds. Portable greenhouses can be made of different materials, however most are made of a reinforced woven polyethylene, have approximately 80% light transmission, UV protection, and an anti-condensation coating.

Many also have windows for air ventilation. A portable greenhouse can come as big as 85 square feet, so you’re able to stand and walk around inside the greenhouse with comfort and ease. The larger greenhouses will even accommodate small potting benches, racks, and other supplies! For those of you who simply want a small greenhouse for potted plants and flowers, portable greenhouses are available as small as 24 square feet.

While there are still positives to stationary greenhouses, a portable greenhouse truly is an excellent option for many people. Moreover, you really don’t have to make any compromises if you choose the portable version. You can still use a greenhouse thermostat and it is possible to install a misting system into most portable greenhouses. To top it all off, you can put it up and take it down whenever you please, you can move it around to change the look of your backyard and if you and your family must relocate, you can take it with you!

A portable greenhouse has all the benefits of a stationary one, with the addition of being inexpensive, convenient, and easy to install. They are durable and resilient and your plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables will thrive inside of them as well as they would in a stationary greenhouse. We highly recommend you consider portable greenhouses when contemplating a green house for your yard.
