A lean to greenhouse is a structure that is not freestanding, and is instead attached to the side of a home or other building. Lean to greenhouse kits are popular with many homeowners that have limited space with which to work. They are generally easy to assemble and can be a great way to grow your own produce.
Lean to greenhouse kits usually utilize polycarbonate panels rather than glass, although this is certainly not a universal practice. Lightweight, yet sturdy materials like aluminum and plastic composites are commonly used as framing material. Most of these kits can be assembled with a fairly rudimentary set of tools.
For those who are looking for something that is a little more visually stimulating, lean to greenhouse kits can be created with a cedar frame. Cedar has long been known to wear exceptionally well; and it has a number of pest resistant qualities as well. These kits tend to be more expensive, but many home owners feel that the extra cost is well worth it.
