Lean-To-Build SolaWrap Greenhouse By Ian Cooke!
Meet Ian Cooke, premiering his 2nd SolaWrap greenhouse! Ian built his latest addition a Lean-To- Build Greenhouse featured below in his video he proudly shared with us!
What is a Lean-To- Greenhouse?
A lean-to greenhouse is a type of greenhouse structure that is attached to an existing building, such as a house, shed, or barn. It typically shares one wall with the existing structure and slopes away from it, resembling a "lean-to" structure, which is where the name comes from.
Lean-to greenhouses are popular for several reasons:
-
Space Utilization: They make efficient use of space by utilizing an existing building for one of their walls, reducing construction costs and materials.
-
Convenience: Lean-to greenhouses are easily accessible from the attached building, allowing gardeners to tend to their plants without having to venture outside.
-
Energy Efficiency: The shared wall with the main building can help regulate temperatures within the greenhouse, making it more energy-efficient and providing some thermal benefits.
-
Shelter: They provide shelter and protection to plants from harsh weather conditions and cold temperatures.
-
Aesthetics: Lean-to greenhouses can be designed to complement the architecture of the main building, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the property.
"In this video I show you how to build a greenhouse. I use Solawrap again for the skin and a local company supplied the galvanized steel frame. Many greenhouses are free standing structures; they are very effective and come in all shapes and sizes. For my application I was able to build a lean to structure which greatly increases its strength and reduces the cost as you already have a wall built and in y case I had two walls built." Ian Cooke
