When the foundation, walls and roofing are in place, the final goal can be reached with the construction of the greenhouse. Paths are laid out, planting tables need to be set up and similar to outdoor gardening, garden tools, many other utensils and appropriate clothing need to be provided.

The interior of a greenhouse also needs to be planned

The way in which a newly erected greenhouse is laid out is primarily determined according to the desired use and the size of the building. Small greenhouses are most commonly used to grow fresh vegetables. Extra raised beds can make the physical work extremely easy. Other popular usage types include:

  • Cultivation of young plants or propagation of seeds;
  • hibernation of potted plants from the home garden;
  • cactus or alpine house;
  • lean-to houses as winter gardens;
  • Ground greenhouse for growing orchids and/or tropical plants;

Scaffolding, roofing and walls are in place, now what?

Now the next step is to rebuild the greenhouse and that starts with the paths. Plants, working materials and equipment should be easy to reach, so that even the smallest greenhouse needs at least one way. For this purpose, the designated area in the house could be compacted and equipped with stable, non-slip slatted frames will. A slightly more complex variant would be ground slabs surrounded by lawn edging stones, paving stones or a gravel bed. A high load-bearing capacity of the paths, which a well-filled wheelbarrow has to endure, must be taken into account.

Create the interior of the greenhouse

Tables, shelves and other storage options should never be too small, because there must be a sufficiently large work surface for sowing, caring for and propagating the plants. And finally, space is needed to be able to safely store the necessary gardening tools inside the house. Tub tables that can be filled with sand or earth and additionally covered with foil have proven their worth.

What else belongs in a greenhouse

In addition to pots, bowls and other containers that a gardener can never have enough of, all common garden tools and aids for plant and soil care should be available in the greenhouse. Included in the minimum equipment among other things:

  • planting trowels;
  • hoes and rakes;
  • digging fork, row puller;
  • Pruning shears, pruning shears and household shears, saws;
  • Gardener's apron, sturdy shoes and gloves;
