Greenhouse There are plenty of advantages, but finding a real disadvantage is much more difficult. If he even exists. Because many of the problems perceived as disadvantages of the greenhouse can be remedied in advance of construction preparation and at the latest during construction.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of greenhouses?
Greenhouse benefits include reliable year-round yields, protection from weather and pests, and the ability to grow exotic plants. Disadvantages can include high construction and operating costs, lack of planning and the use of cheap materials.
Where there is light, there is also shade, as it should at least be for a high-quality greenhouse in summer, but this also applies to its advantages and disadvantages. Of course, there is a difference between building yourself and buying a prefabricated house. What both variants have in common is the factthat they cost money Sometimes this amount can be in the five-digit euro range. The construction effort increases as the size of the greenhouse increases and, in addition to a stable foundation, the sometimes expensive interior fittings should not be underestimated. But after all, it is to a certain extent a luxury item, so the price is not necessarily one of the greenhouse disadvantages.
Are they disadvantages or more motivation?
The preparation, construction or even just setting up a prefabricated house is one of the extremely labor-intensive tasks. Also the proper and practical management of a garden. Ultimately, however, the owner can enjoy a completely new aesthetic for his property, is able to pursue a wonderful hobby and, if he has done everything right, will probably havebetter and more secure returns than in the home garden All year round, if he wants it.
And yet there are disadvantages to the greenhouse
Once it has been fully erected, practically nothing can be undone, not even a poorly built foundation that may not be sufficiently stable afterwards. Further disadvantages, almost all of which can be influenced by the builder himself:
- Overestimation of oneself: From a construction and craftsmanship perspective, a 25 square meter warm house poses farhigher demands than a covered carport.
- Cheap material: Cheap almost always becomes expensive on any construction site. In view of the acrylic panels on the roof becoming brittle or brown after five years, you have to ask yourself whether a higher quality cover profile made of heat-insulating insulating glass would not have been more useful.
- High operating costs: They are primarily a question of the optimal location on the property, the insulating material used but also the quality of the craftsmanship of the construction.
Tip
Plan better for the future, but still realistically. Less is often more, and if the possibility of later expansion is taken into account during the construction, this also helps ensure that any disadvantages when building a greenhouse do not arise in the first place.
