Its going to be a little difficult to place one in the sunny area of the garden. The area where i could put it is only sunny for a few hours in the morning.

  1. Actually too sunny is not good as it gets too hot and plants suffer.Best place is some sun,but otherwise a place with lots of light and no overhead trees to shade it.The most essential thing is in late winter to mid spring that the seeds get light,after they germinate some shade is preferable


  2. hey

    next to a veggie patch or in the left or right hand corner at the back of you yard mainly where the sun hits  

  3. I have 2 greenhouses, one in full sun (when we get any!) and one in a similar area you speak of.

    Sunny - tomatoes now ripening then house finished, really, apart from cuttings etc to overwinter.

    More shaded - plants lasting longer = prolonged cropping.

    There are plenty of uses for a greenhouse not in full sun.

    Best wishes. h

  4. Place it the sunniest spot available,oriented North/South,so the sunshine falls on the longest side.Ensure the site is sheltered from cold winds,cut back any overhanging trees etc;to allow maximum light.

  5. what do you want to grow

  6. It depends on what you intend to grow. In full sun is not always the best place as there are few plants except some exotic species like Agaves and so on that will cope with the heat in a greenhouse in a hot summer. If you intend to empty it during the summer and put in the tender plants for the winter, a sunny spot is sensible but if you want to grow in there during the summer a cooler situation may be better. The best place is a partially shaded site so that each part gets some shade and sun throughout the day so don't worry, the place you've mentioned will be fine and your plants will be much less heat stressed.

  7. put it in an area that gets sun, also make sure its on the south side of your home and finally put it next to or very close to your home for added heat
