You'll want to ensure that when you build the greenhouse
that it is built facing a south eastern or southern exposure.
The ground where the greenhouse is built should have plenty of
drainage.

If part of your greenhouse business includes having
customers come to your greenhouse, it will be wise to have the
greenhouse in a place that's easy to find. Also, if you want
customers coming to you, don't forget to make sure the
customers have plenty of parking available to them.
If you'd eventually like to expand-having a series of
greenhouses-plan that series from the very start. Make your
first house fit in-on paper-with those you will build later, so
as to form a complete unit. Many greenhouse operations start on
a small scale but soon need to expand, so select an adequate
site at the start.
What Type of Greenhouse?
There is a type of greenhouse to meet every preference,
every gardening need, and every budget. I have seen sun porches
and chicken houses converted into greenhouses; greenhouses
built as second-story units over garages; free-standing or
detached greenhouses; step-into pit houses, and many kinds of
attached-to-dwelling ones. There are heated, partially heated,
and unheated greenhouses, each successfully designed to suit
someone's gardening-for-profit plan.
Greenhouse designs are numerous but types fall into these
main divisions: span, lean-to, uneven or partial span, and the
pit house, which may be any of these types but with a greater
portion of the walls below ground level. If you have plenty of
room-real acreage or a large lot-the free-standing span house
may be best for you. This type, if properly placed, receives
maximum sunlight throughout the day in every season.
A lean-to, as the name suggests, is erected against the side
of another building. The partial span or uneven type has a
greater distance from eaves to gable on one side of the house
than on the other. In the north, the low winter sun comes
directly through such a roof for maximum light. And in the
summer, when the sun is high, this greenhouse draws light
reflection from both sides.
The cost of pit-house construction is low. Many growers use
pit houses only during early spring and into fall. They are
left idle during the coldest months of the year to avoid a
heating bill. Other growers operate a pit house economically by
having it dug off the basement and served by the household
heating system. This arrangement affords ample space for
potting, household tools, and other necessary equipment.
Although curved eaves make a handsome greenhouse, there are no
special advantages in them.
