5 tips for buying a greenhouse

Typically, buying a greenhouse is something you only do once in your life. If you have no experience with this, it can be useful to get advice from an expert. Are you planning to buy a greenhouse soon? We can help you on your way with five tips.

1. Match the style of the greenhouse to your house or garden

To ensure that your garden forms a cohesive whole, you can match the style of your greenhouse to that of your house and garden. Do you have a sleek, well-kept garden and a modern house? Then you could, for example, opt for a modern greenhouse that complements them.

2. Opt for promotional models

Did you know that at Janssens NV you can choose from no fewer than 16 promotional greenhouse models? Each of these greenhouses has a unique standard configuration, each with its own style and accessories. There is something for everyone.

These promotional models are also more affordable than custom-configured models. So be sure to take a look at our range of standard configurations.

3. Choose a sufficiently large size

Are you buying a greenhouse to grow your own vegetables, plants, or flowers? Then we recommend considering a greenhouse one size larger. Once you get the hang of growing, a greenhouse fills up faster than you might think.

A sufficiently large greenhouse ensures that every plant receives the space and light needed to grow optimally. Do not let yourself be limited by a greenhouse that is too small.

4. Buy weather-resistant accessories

A chair or a table can be a nice (and handy) addition to a greenhouse. If you want to ensure that the quality of your accessories is maintained, it is best to choose those that are resistant to UV rays, moisture, cold, etc.

5. Arrange practical matters

Choosing a greenhouse is an enjoyable experience, but unfortunately, there are also some practical matters involved. For example, you must ensure a solid foundation, manage the delivery of materials, and so on.
