A south-facing orientation in full sun is preferred. Because the sun shines on the greenhouse walls for a long time, the interior warms up, creating a pleasant climate for your plants.  <\/p>\n<p>Please note: in summer, a greenhouse in full sun can become too hot. Fortunately, there are various ways to protect your plants from the heat. Discover our tips in <a href=\"https:\/\/janssens.be\/en\/how-to-protect-your-greenhouse-against-summer-heat\/\">this article<\/a>.  <\/p>\n<p>If the greenhouse is intended more as a pavilion, you will want to choose a location with some shade or where the sun does not shine all day. This prevents it from becoming uncomfortably warm, allowing you to fully enjoy the tranquility. <\/p>\n<h2>Tailored to the surroundings of the greenhouse<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the function of your greenhouse and the orientation of the sun, you must also consider the environment in which you place it. Consider, for example, a high wall next to the greenhouse that blocks the light, a small tree next to the greenhouse that will provide significant shade later on, a neighbor&#8217;s fence that might be replaced by a higher one, etc. <\/p>\n<p>In addition to the function of your greenhouse and the orientation of the sun, you must also take other factors into account. Therefore, make informed choices to ensure that your greenhouse receives exactly as much sunlight as you desire.<\/p>\n<h2>Request advice from our experts<\/h2>\n<p>Do you have any questions about a <a href=\"https:\/\/janssens.be\/en\/greenhouses\/\">greenhouse<\/a> or its installation?
