Owning a garden greenhouse is a real pleasure. Indeed, it is a construction that has not only the advantage of being able to reduce our expenses in grocery stores, but also to allow us to contribute to the growth of our plants. You are ready to embark on the adventure! But what are the most common mistakes when you build your own greenhouse?
Ignoring legal constraints
Indeed, the construction of a garden greenhouse is subject to specific regulations. Among the best known is the obligation to pay a development tax for any construction exceeding 20 m². This means that you will not be subject to this measure if the surface of your greenhouse does not exceed this dimension. However, note that it is always ideal to check with the town hall before starting the work. It must be said that many of us are unaware of this reporting obligation, so some people have to bear the consequences, including paying a fine.
Do not consider the characteristics of the greenhouse location
When you build your own garden greenhouse, it is often that you forget to take into account the specificities of the place of construction. And this, although it is an essential step for the good growth of plants and to ensure the sustainability of the installation. Moreover, note now that it is always better to install your garden greenhouse in a place sheltered from the wind.
Misdirecting your garden greenhouse
Choosing the orientation of a garden greenhouse is one of the parameters that ensure the proper growth of your fruits and vegetables. Indeed, there are various exposure possibilities that depend in particular on the needs. For example, if you plan to grow vegetables from summer to fall, plan a North-South orientation from the two small faces of the greenhouse. For wintering plants, the ideal is to orient the two large faces from East to West.
Do not prepare the ground
Before installing a garden greenhouse, it is important to think about its foundations. It will not be easy to change location once the construction has been done. That said, check the state of the soil on which you intend to build your garden greenhouse. Moreover, the surfaces may vary according to needs. If you are thinking of using a concrete slab, for example, it is better to allow a fairly long drying time. Also plan solutions to facilitate the maintenance of the soil because it ensures the good health of the plants.
Do not strengthen the bases of the greenhouse
In practice, it sometimes happens that, when one does not have enough knowledge of garden greenhouse construction, one tends to forget to strengthen the bases of it. However, know that they also depend on the longevity of the installation. It is therefore advisable to inform yourself before doing anything.
