Portable Green House

Portable Green House at a Reasonable Price

There are plenty of retail outlets which sell green houses, green house supplies and green house kits. However, it can be hard to find somewhere that sells a portable green house at a reasonable price. Portable green houses follow the dictates of the famous eccentric architect and innovator, Buckminster Fuller, that buildings should be lightweight, functional and transportable. Thus, the portable greenhouse features all the functionality of a traditional greenhouse but when you move, you can take it with you. You can also change the location of the greenhouse in your garden to capture the best conditions with the changing seasons and weather conditions. It is, though, this very portability which often pushes the price up.

Assembling a Portable Green House

A portable green house makes a great alternative for over-wintering plants. Each portable green house does not require any tools for assembly and can be built in less than an hour. You can also disassemble your portable greenhouse easily, and then store it in the garage or basement effortlessly. It's a good idea to use the internet to search for a portable green house so you can compare the variations in specification and price.

The Best Places to Find an Affordable Portable Green House

ACF Green houses is a popular company which offers a varied selection of portable green houses at particularly low prices. Their space-saving green houses provide customers with a relatively inexpensive way to get a jump-start on their potting and growing in the spring as well as extending the growing season into the fall.

The Standard Specifications

The portable green house range offered by AFC Greenhouses have Solaron covers, which are made of reinforced woven polyethylene. These boast an 80% light transmission, UV protection, as well as an anti-condensation coating. Their portable green house packages include a door as well as screened-in windows for ventilation. The doors and windows have been designed to be held open with Velcro fasteners when not in use, and also feature built-in screens which are intendee to help keep out animals and insects.

A bagful of Extras

Each portable green house includes the following: dark green painted frame, one-piece 11-millimetre polyethylene cover, wide zippered openings and screened vents, a tote bag for easier transportation and storage, anchoring kit, and a three year warranty.

Each AFC Greenhouses' portable green house is shipped by UPS and can be delivered in as little as two to seven days. They also offer accessories for your portable green house, including electric heaters, portable benches, and thermometers. Although compact, the electric heaters offer various heat settings, a built-in dial thermostat, and overheating protection.

Portable Accessories

Portable benches come in handy when you have to get down and dirty with your pots - potting and repotting can be back-breaking work if you don't have much space to work in or you can't get into a comfortable position. Thermometers are, in my opinion, essential for green house gardening. Knowing the temperature differentials between outside and inside can help you decide what is best for your green house plants.
