If you are on a budget, then you are likely to opt for an affordable type of greenhouse. Whilst this will save you money to start with, you could end up spending more in the future as a result of having to replace your greenhouse. Cheaper designs are likely to require more maintenance, costing you more in the long run. Choosing a high quality design will provide you with a longer lasting structure that keeps your plants and garden at their best.

Pine wood greenhouses or simple lean to designs are a great option for those on a budget, but are likely to need more maintenance. Cheaper wood designs will need repainting or a preservative to keep the greenhouse at its best, so it may be worth opting for a higher quality wood design so that you are provided with a structure that remains at its best all year round.

Cedar wood is one of the best designs for greenhouses. If you are looking for a high quality structure, then cedar wood is the perfect choice. This type of wood not only provides strength and durability, it also looks great. Teak and oak are also great choices for those looking for a good quality wood design. Although expensive, it may be worth opting for one of these designs so that you will have something that will keep your greenhouse, garden and plants at their best.

If you are looking for an affordable design that will last longer and does not require much maintenance, then a simple, freestanding glass design is a great choice. There are many types of good quality glass designs available that will keep your garden looking great. Whilst glass designs do not require as much maintenance as wood designs, it is important that you clean the glass regularly and replace cracked panes to keep your plants and garden at their best.
