Small Polycarbonate Greenhouses

Small Polycarbonate Greenhouses vs Cheap Plastic Greenhouses

You may be considering choosing a cheap plastic growhouse from a local DIY store instead of a small polycarbonate greenhouse.

Here are the two compared:

Pros of a Small Polycarbonate Greenhouse

1. Sturdy solution - cheaper plastic greenhouses can often blow away in bad weather, damaging plants inside and out of the structure.
2. Visually appealing - these greenhouses look nicer than the plastic alternatives.
3. Range of colours - you can choose the colour of your aluminium frame, instead of being forced to have the translucent grey and green pole structure of a plastic greenhouse.
4. More consistent environment - you can control the growing environment much more easily in a permanent greenhouse, with the option of auto vents, and a better seal around the doors.

Pros of a Cheap Plastic Greenhouse

1. Cheaper - they cost a lot less than a polycarbonate.
2. Lighter - the lightweight nature makes them easier to move.
3. No wait time - you can likely pick one up at a local store the same day.
