Mini Greenhouses

Mini greenhouses are small, usually temporary greenhouses that can be set up and taken down easily. They are excellent for gardeners who have limited space and funds and can rival an expensive rigid structure. They are typically made from light and easy to obtain materials such as plastic sheeting and PVC pipe.

Mini greenhouses have a number of advantages and disadvantages to a traditional greenhouse. They are much more affordable and small enough to be put into almost any yard, porch or alcove and they are easy to disassemble in the summer if necessary. They do not hold up to severe weather very well and they also weather much quicker than a regular one. Their life-span is only about five years.

Mini greenhouses can be easily designed and made by the gardener themselves or they can be purchased as ready to assemble kits and even pop-up greenhouses. They range in size from cold frames that hold a couple of plants to walk in freestanding structures that can house quite a few plants but are not big enough to hang out in on a winter afternoon.
