It is necessary to leave sufficient working room around your
greenhouse when you're putting it up and also to allow for the
possible need to replace a piece of glass in the future. If possible try
and leave a space of 2ft/610mm around the greenhouse.
Locate the greenhouse where there is maximum amount of sunlight
and avoid if poss
i
ble any shade from trees, fences or other buildings.
Over-hanging branches can be a particular nuisance and should be
avoided.
Choose a site where the greenhouse is relatively easy to get to and
convenient to bring water to and possibly a supply of electricity.
Finally, and most importantly, choose a site where your Alton
Greenhouse will look right so that it will complement your garden.
