Metal Buildings

For decades, greenhouses have been a solution not only for commercial growers but also for backyard gardening enthusiasts. Whether you are looking to get an early start on seedlings or are wanting to extend a productive growing season into the fall, you are sure to have the success you want with a greenhouse built right.

How Do I Get Started? 

In many locations around the country, February is the perfect time to start seeds. However, they won’t last outdoors by themselves. The night air is still cool, torrential rains can wreak havoc on tiny plant systems, and hail is sure to destroy all your hard work. In a greenhouse, however, plants respond extremely well to the spring sun. Grab a frame kit from VersaTube or design the dimensions that you need. Building your structure is the first step to success.

Next, you’ll notice that the inside of a greenhouse is very humid. When the sun heats up the interior of the greenhouse, water evaporates and rises. It is not able to evaporate into the sky, so it condenses on the ceiling, re-watering the plants. Get an early start in the spring and you’ll have summer growth long before anyone else. You can even stagger your planting to have plants producing at different stages throughout the summer and fall.

A Greenhouse Today Keeps the Doctor Away

Growing your own plants is about as healthy as it gets. Your body will love the extra nutrients from home-grown food. And it couldn’t be easier to have your own greenhouse garden. Greenhouse plants love the humid environment. You’ll revel in the ability to grow tender, leafy greens, hothouse tomatoes, beautiful flowers and so much more. And you won’t only extend your growing season on the front end of spring planting. Extend your season through the fall with additional growing time. Even though the evenings cool off, the sunlight is still plentiful during the day. Take advantage of the extra growing time by providing fresh food for your family, canning and putting away food for the winter, selling homemade goods, and even selling strong plants in the early spring to your community. Do you have access to a local farmer’s market close by? What better way to share your goods with your community, make money and have fun all at the same time.

All-in-all, depending on your location, you can expect to see an additional two to four months of total growing time from late winter to late fall. Greenhouses are exceptional solutions to meet your needs. But not every greenhouse will stand the test of time. You need a steel frame greenhouse that is resistant to rust, corrosion, pests, and decay. That’s why VersaTube offers you a cost-effective, long-term solution for your growing needs.
