You've seen the joy that owning your own greenhouse would bring,
you've studied the features to look for and the models we offer
-- it's time to figure out where you should locate our greenhouse,
how you should prepare the site, and how you should accessorize
your greenhouse to achieve your desired growing environment.
We'll help guide you through these decisions so you can be growing
and relaxing in your greenhouse in no-time.
 Select
A Site
The best location to site your Sunshine Greenhouse is one that
will allow the most sunlight and gardening convenience. Full
sun exposure is ideal. A location that is easily accessible
to both water and electrical supply will make irrigation and
heating and cooling easier. For placement, we have see excellent
results with both North-South and East-West Alignment - we suggest
that you let practical considerations guide this decision.
Even a shady site or a northern attached Lean-to can be very
successful growing areas by using supplemental lighting and/or
choosing to grow shade loving plants.
Prepare Your Site Quickly and Easily!
The first step in preparing your selected location is to level
the site and provide for adequate drainage. While most other
greenhouses on the market require concrete slabs or timber foundations,
the recycled plastic base and sturdy design of the Sunshine
Greenhouse eliminates this requirement. Sunshine greenhouses
perform very well situated on a layer of three or four inches
of 3/8" to 3/4" pathway gravel (not pea gravel), laid
a top a layer of heavy-duty weed fabric. This makes for an easy
to level base with good drainage. A nice finishing touch is
to add a brick or stone pathway (brick will retain heat) for
walking and standing comfort.
