Many people want to enjoy the massive benefits of gardening within a greenhouse but don’t want to hassle with intensive assembly. Truth be told, there are many portable, lightweight greenhouses available that only take a few minutes to set up. These greenhouses are usually made from a tubular metal frame with a plastic covering over the top. Many units are large enough to walk inside and store many plant pots. As the seasons change from hot to cold, the greenhouse can be taken down within minutes for storage. A company called Gardman makes one of these amazingly easy to use greenhouses.
The Gardman R688 greenhouse is a temporary structure that can be set up in minutes. The structure consists of a metal frame in which the pieces slide and bolt together. The polycarbonate cover goes over the top to create the sides. You may have seen that many greenhouses use glass for the siding. The Gardman greenhouse uses polycarbonate which is much safer, lighter and does not shatter. The frame is made from a combination of steel and aluminum tubing which has been pre-drilled for your convenience. After drilling the poles have been coated with paint to protect against rust.
Using a greenhouse, you have the ability to grow crops off-season, such as before the frost ends. This allows you to get a head start on the season, increasing your yield. The double walls yet in enough light for excellent plant growth but filter sunlight at the same time, preventing it from burning your plants. The base bolts together sturdily to form a solid foundation, allowing it to be placed on surfaces ranging from concrete to grass. You just don’t have this kind of control when growing greenhouse seeds out in the open. Gardman makes many other greenhouses in various sizes too.
