Below is a list of items that will, when you 'click' on a picture, take you to detailed information about that particular product. Please feel free to give us a call if you need to have any more information on any particular item. Choosing the right greenhouse supplies, equipment and accessories  depends on your answers to the following questions: What is your area's climate? Do you have heavy snow and wind loads, or do you live in a more moderate climate? Is extreme heat or cold a factor? What plants do you plan to grow? Do you plan on just raising seedlings, or do you want to go full cycle to flowering or fruit bearing plants? Where will you locate your structure? Some plants will grow inside at any location. African violets and orchids, for example, will grow with northern exposure - but heating costs will be high. You will limit the types of plants you can grow if you don't put your structure in the best possible location. Sometimes you can place a structure against a door, window, or basement entrance of your house. This will let you use heat from your house to grow plants, make your structure more accessible, and save on construction costs.
