Are you wondering if a lean-to greenhouse is the right choice for you? Lean–to greenhouses are an economical choice for many greenhouse gardeners. Since a lean-to greenhouse is leaned against the wall of an existing structure, only three other walls need to be constructed. This saves time, space, and money.

Increased Property Value

Lean-to greenhouses also increase the property value of your home. If you attach a lean-to greenhouse to your home with access to the greenhouse from inside the house, the greenhouse then becomes usable living space and is figured into the square footage of your home. Greenhouses also add aesthetic value to your home, increasing the structural beauty and intricate design of your home.

Space Conscious

Lean-to greenhouses are also space conscious. A lean-to greenhouse is the best choice for a homeowner with a limited amount of useable yard. Since most homes have a level area of lawn near the exterior of the home, installing a lean-to greenhouse is also easier than installing a freestanding greenhouse because additional soil alterations are not needed to provide a flat surface for construction.

Construction Options

Lean-to greenhouses are so popular that many websites offer free building plans for constructing your own lean-to greenhouse. These step-by-step instructions are easy to follow and fairly inexpensive to construct for an experienced handyman (or woman!). For added convenience, many greenhouse supply companies also offer lean-to greenhouse kits that come ready to assemble. These greenhouses can cost anywhere from a few hundred dollars to a few thousand dollars. Many of these pre-packaged greenhouses come with slide in glass or Lexan panels that only take a few minutes to install.

Some lean-to greenhouse kits come with unbreakable panels, aluminum frames in a variety of colors, construction support help, and your choice of door and window placement. Of course, you can opt to add extra features such as a climate control system, sprinklers, extra benches, or other greenhouse goodies to personalize your greenhouse construction. Lean-to greenhouses come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and construction materials. Greenhouse experts agree that adding a greenhouse to your home enriches your life, and your property value! Greenhouse gardening is a rewarding and practical hobby, well suited for people of all ages and walks of life. A lean-to greenhouse is the right choice in greenhouses for many new and seasoned greenhouse gardeners.
