In rainy parts of the country that see less sunlight, such as the Pacific Northwest, an attached greenhouse with interior access offers protection from the elements, because you can enter it from the inside of your home. Also, utilities, like electricity and water, are literally right next door. In an area where heavy rainfall and snow is common, a steep-slope A-frame greenhouse could be a wise choice, because it sheds them more efficiently than a lower-sloped roof. It is very important to determine how a greenhouse will be used before building it.
And during the cooler months, an attached greenhouse, with its glazing, can help heat a house on bright days, which can also lower the overall heating costs for the main dwelling. Another issue to think about is access to the greenhouse. During the winter, when snow is piled high outside, entering an attached greenhouse is going to be much more convenient than shoveling your way through piles of snow to reach a freestanding greenhouse. On the other hand, an attached greenhouse can be subject to, or limited by, the home’s design.
Then the walls are raised, positioned, and finally joined. The roof slope can vary from greenhouse to greenhouse, but generally it is steep enough to efficiently shed rain and snow. Typically, the A-frame is secured to the foundation. Corrugated polycarbonate or acrylic is often used as the glazing for the greenhouse. These glazing materials can be attached to the A-frame’s structural beams with relative ease. Another advantage an A-frame greenhouse offers its owner is the convenience with which doors and shelves can be installed at the ends of the building.
