If you have a green thumb and you want to exercise it year-round, a greenhouse could be a great investment. Cultivate plants, flowers, fruits and vegetables in all seasons, even in cold weather.<\/p>\n
There are two basic types of greenhouses: freestanding and attached (usually to a house or garage). Within the two types, there are many sizes, shapes and designs. For attached, there\u2019s the lean-to, a half-size greenhouse, or even-span, which is full size. Freestanding greenhouses, which are all full size, can be rigid-frame, A-frame, Quonset hut-style, gothic or post-and-rafter.<\/p>\n
One of the most important decisions you\u2019ll make is the material for the greenhouse panels. The material will determine the amount of sunlight that reaches the plants. Materials vary in price and durability, too. <\/p>\n

The cost of a greenhouse is determined by the square footage, the materials used, the design of the structure, the amount of site preparation needed and your location. A greenhouse could cost $1,000 or it could cost $30,000; however, the average price is closer to $10,000 to $20,000.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n <\/ul>\n Keep in mind that custom greenhouses are usually far more expensive than factory-built models. The price can easily exceed $30,000.<\/strong> <\/p>\n In addition to the greenhouse, you\u2019ll also need to purchase a separate but small heater. Although greenhouses are designed to capture heat from sunlight, they need additional heat at night and during the winter. Small electric heaters usually cost $50 to $200,<\/strong> while larger gas heaters cost $500 to $1,500.<\/strong><\/p>\n
