The optimal greenhouse orientation for high yields
One of the most important issues related to the greenhouse orientation is, in addition to the type of later planting, to find a place where the light or heat yield is adequately high. In addition, the location must fit harmoniously into the rest of the property.
If a new greenhouse is planned for the home garden, the decision depends on many factors. How big should or should it be, is self - built or bought ready, what is the budget and budget which plants should be quartered at all? Equally important: Does the building actually fit into the existing garden structure as well as to the property as a whole and can the greenhouse orientation be achieved in such a way that optimum growth conditions are available for the plants?
Light, warmth, sun - everything has to be right
A stand and the optimal alignment for your subsequent planting must be chosen with particular care, as major corrections can only be made after construction with very high structural complexity. Well, sun must come here and at least six to seven hours on the day when the house is otherwise on a reasonably bright spot earth. Even better are ten hours, which is particularly beneficial for Frühbeetbepflanzungen. When the sun is low in winter, a greenhouse must not be shaded by nearby wooden fences, shed walls or hedges. Otherwise, it stays cool inside, dark and is relatively quickly attacked by green algae layers.
The type of planting determines the orientation
Whether a greenhouse is aligned with the front from north to south (summer cultivation of vegetables and flowers) or from the east to the west (rearing in early spring) depends primarily on which plants are to be raised and whether the area ordered all year or only for spring planting should be used.
Geometry and greenhouse alignment
Greenhouses with many corners look chic, but have one major drawback: They are more difficult to ventilate and also the planting is a little more complicated than with the quadrangular species. Consequently, the orientation of a square greenhouse in central terrain is almost insignificant, since the light irradiation receiving area in this case is nearly identical in size. A north - south orientation would be recommended for long houses, as the broadside so much sunlight and can pass on to the plants.
Tips
Already with the geometrical orientation of the as flat as possible foundation you are later on the dry side, if a slight tendency for the trouble-free storm water runoff from the roof and the side walls in the direction of the greenhouse entrance is planned with.
